It's much easier to speak casual Japanese than it is to speak polite Japanese.

You will trip up at the grammar. Japanese grammar is more regular when it is in the MASU form and it is absolutely everywhere when it is in slang. Slang changes from year to year anyway so its very tricky.
If you can't even get it right in the MASU form, you have no chance in slang Japanese? You should know this.
I assume you are having formal Japanese lessons.
