Definition

Colloquial language is used in casual situations, for example just a chat between friends. Colloquial language would be a bad idea to use if you were in an interview for a high paying job, or to get into university.

A colloquialism is an informal expression, not used in formal speech or writing. Colloquial language is like using slang instead of the proper word.
