Most japanese don't speak so formally such as, Ohayogazaimasu, instead they would say Oha which is quicker. But the thing is I want to be able to speak to japanese people they way they speak to eachother. Can someone help me?????

Slang depends on a few things like age, gender, and region. Can you be more specific on the type of 「べん」 you are wanting to know about?

I think it's masculine/boyish though.

Another you have to think about, is that no one's going to ridicule you for speaking formally.
You'll be the coveted gaijin who everyone will be interested in, regardless.
"Omg... a white person... I've heard SO much about you."

For slang it will depend a lot on the region you will be visiting. If you talk in Osaka dialect the people in Kyoto will not be able to fully understand you...or at least that's what they told me...
And pay attention to whether words or certain grammar is used by guys or girls. A girl in my class kept calling herself 'boku'.. so weird xp

When I went I spoke fairly formally and most people were just excited that I could speak it at all. Um, when I was in Kyoto I said "Ooki ni" instead of "arigatou" and the waitress's face lit up! So, I recommend learning a few phrases of kansai-ben if you will be in the Kansai region. Anywhere else you just sound silly, though. It isn't required to know kansai-ben to communicate, but the locals were really happy when I used it.

And pay attention to whether words or certain grammar is used by guys or girls. A girl in my class kept calling herself 'boku'.. so weird xp That "boku" thing is very common. One of my classmates calls herself "boku" and when I questioned her, she told me she always thought of herself as a male. Transgender is very popular in some places, like Osaka, where I live. Like Transgender in the states, they still wear their physical gender's designated clothing, but will wear their spiritual gender's clothes on their own time. (like a guy thinks as a girl will sometimes wear girl's clothing on the weekend and visa versa). Also, in most schools, younger year girls will have crushes for the older year girls and the same for the guys. You will also see the same gender (mostly school aged) holding hands, hugging, or having their arms around each other in public, like couples will do. This is also normal for both genders.

Yeah, I've heard that too.. even though it's not an 'offensive' word as such, it's still considered rude and you wouldn't want to walk up to a Japanese person and say it. Also, If you want to shorten down 'Ohayougozaimasu', it's completely acceptable to just say 'Ohayou' instead smile
