Throughout the transcript Jade showed understanding and agreement by continuously saying 'yeah.' This made Sophie know that what she was saying was clear and allowed them to continue without confusion, knowing what they had said was acknowledged and understood. The two understand one another in an informal register, questioning each other without hesitation and also comfortable enough to interrupt each other whilst still understanding one another. The slang used is understood and is a good way of showing that the socialect is not formal and friendly.
