I can't agree with you. As a foreigner who has always had British teachers or travelled very often to Britain, American accent has always sound less familiar to me. I can't say I don't understand Americans, but it's just a question of ... practice. I try to train my ear to different accents as much as I can. So, thanks for this video Lucy!
For me it is totally the other way around. It could be because I am currently living in the UK. In all/any ways, the words(vocabularies) can be understood from the context itself; some times LOL 😁. Just pretend like you are elaborating more on the meaning hence you can guess the right definition of it without being awkward or old-fashioned wo-/man.
15:50 I’m from America, and never in my life have I ever heard the term “ABC Store” referring to a place that only sells alcohol… I’ve always grown up with it being called a “Liquor Store”
Living in the South, where alcohol is heavily regulated, the ABC Store is a specific store, usually in a more rural area and typically the only place to purchase anything stronger than beer or wine.
As an American, I agree with Lucy's distinction between "woods" and "forest." I grew up in the southern midwest of the US, and "woods" was probably more common than "forest" for any area with many trees.
I enjoy watching such comparison because I am a Solomon Islands English teacher who loves to find new effective ways to help me with my diverse speaking students who want to understand and use English to some extent in the future.
Learned some British English when I grew up…every time when I want to say “side walk”, pavement came into my head but then when the word is at my mouth, it feels weird and I always second guess. Some other good ones: rubber/ eraser, torch/ flash light, trash/ garbage. Biscute was a good one. Took time to absorb that.
The main difference between a duvet and comforter is that a comforter is just one piece of bedding while a duvet requires two separate pieces - an insert and cover. A comforter is usually quilted with the filling evenly distributed, while a duvet has an insert that works as the fill.
@@smithrocks1 yup! Duvet has a protective and decorative cover over a sealed fluffy insert, kinda like the blanket version of a pillow in a pillowcase. Comforter, like you said, is bedding where the fluffy filling is directly inside the decorative fabric. Both the duvet insert and a comforter can be quilted though as it helps keep the fill from bunching up in one spot. Since I mentioned it, a blanket doesn’t have fluffy filling, it’s a piece of thick fabric, sometimes quilted, sometimes woven/knitted. In the rare case a blanket has filling to make it warmer, the filling is nothing more than a thin sheet of poly-fill.
We also call a forest “the woods” here in America. Being from the Northeast, I agree a “forest” generally refers to a huge area of trees, whereas just a couple acres or a small lot is just “woods”.
Agree. When I was a kid, my parents' home in the midwest had three acres of trees in the back of a five acre lot. We always referred to it as 'the woods'. A trip to the forest meant that we were probably heading to a national park.
I agree - Forest to me is a larger wooded area. I live in the woods (I have three acres of trees in the four acres of land I own) I don't live in a forest. That picture they showed was definitely just the woods
Agreed. In the mid west we call it “the woods” as well. No one in there right mind would call something a forest that isnt. Also the American and Australian were only going off a small photo.
Swiss Homes have a standard complete Bathroom with everything (small Appartements only have a shower, bc a Bathtub won't fit in). In the recent Decades it became quite fashioned to also have a additional separate little Room with just a Toilet and a Sink, the "Tages-WC" ("Day-Toilet") where often also the Washingmachine/Tumbler is or the Cupboard for cleaning Utensils is located. That's for day use or Guests, so they don't have to go upstairs in the private Family-Bathroom. The "Tages-WC" is mostly located between the Entrance and the Kitchen, conveniently where it's nearest to go to.
I am an American, and I would call it a "liquor store", not an "ABC Store". If you're in the military, it's called a 'Class 6 store". To us, "trousers" sound like something an old man wears with suspenders. Also, to us, "pavement" is the substance the road is made out of.
For the “Tractor Trailer”, as an American, if someone said that, I would be confused. We typically call them trucks, semis, or semi-truck. Also, for the “ABC Store”, I have never heard anybody in America call it that. We typically call it a Liquor Store. If you call it an ABC Store, you may get a weird/confused look
Yea, never heard "ABC store" either. Party store or liquor store in the US, though more and more alcohol is being sold at big grocery chains like Walmart.
Lol slippers confused my English friend too. What they wear is footwear made of soft material. We call 'peppers' 'capsicum' in India. Since India and Australia were both British territories, I'm pretty sure we got it from the Brits. When I was in school, we learnt both the British English and the American English versions. Now with more English friends it gets really confusing. I can't say pants to mean trousers because it means underwear in England. That one made me laugh like anything.
OK, I am old enough to remember when these shoes were introduced to the US from Japan after WWII. At that time those were called a lot of different names - Jap Flaps/Slaps Go-aheads (as in constant forward motion needed to keep on feet) sandals and later/now - flip flops People need to remember that in the 1950s things made in Japan were thought of as the same level of 'cheapness' that made in China invokes today.
non Melbournian Aussies would say: -Truck or semi-trailer; the toilet is usually separate from the bathroom, so you would say the toilet/ dunny/ loo if you wanted to use that and in rural Australia you will find on properties the toilet is located outside of the house and known as the dunny / loo/ outhouse / thunderbox, knows as the thunderbox as thunder occurs in there at times...; Forest/ The Bush; petrol station/ service station/ servo; pants/ trousers.
Victoria Khinchagova probably the non native english speakers😂 english text books aren’t the most usual, we have to teach ourselves so much to not get laughed at😩
As an American, I'd say the woods if they're in like the city or someone's backyard. But I've NEVER heard of an ABC store. We'd call them either a liquor or package store. Also, the pavement can be used for what you walk on or drive on ("pound the pavement"). Additionally, while we don't usually use duvet, we do have duvet covers that go over your comforter. Especially if you have a plain white one or just want to change up the look of your comforter without having to buy a new one.
I grew up in West Virginia and currently live in ohio after moving 10 years ago. I have never heard anyone describe a wooded area as a forest UNLESS they were speaking about a rain forest. We go hiking in the woods. We go hunting in the woods. We go shed hunting in the woods. I would say more “country” states say woods rather than forest.
kigglz15 Lol same here, I moved to New York when I was three but then moved back to India, and when I was twelve I moved to Canada and now it's been two years since I'm living in Canada. The profile pic is of my mom not me, lol. I miss New York though. I miss queens and Times Square and Manhattan. Waaaa
i’m from england and for me it sort of depends on what type of trees. i generallly call a group of lighter green trees ‘woods’ and darker evergreen trees as a ‘forest’
I really enjoyed your English lesson. Now I found out that I am using all these three different accents without knowing where to use correct ones. I'd love to learn more from all of you ladies 😊. Really appreciate your great help in learning English Language. I'm your big fan ❤❤.
Yeah I'm from Illinois and I don't think I've ever really used the word "forest" in my life. We always called woodland type areas "the woods". I've even worked for farmers that would call it "the timber", but that's more of a rural expression. Maybe because where I'm from here in the Midwest there really aren't huge forests so it's not a common word.
I was born and raised in North Carolina and I've always called it the woods. The only time I would use forest is if I was talking about a very large wooded area, e.g, the Smoky Mountain National Forest.
In the US, if you were to adk, "Where's the nearest ABC Store?" you'd die of thirst before you get an answer. "Liquor Store" is what they're commonly called.
Cannot resist telling this story, I was talking with a British friend while driving down the George Washington Memorial Parkway, she said. "I never could understand why Americans drive on a parkway and park on a driveway." She was spot on.
I’ve lived in three different areas of the U.S. and I’ve never heard it called an ABC store. It’s called a liquor store. That’s what everyone I’ve ever known calls it.
ABC Store, this is a local term and I would says most Americans would have no idea what she was talking about if she told them she was at the ABC Store, they would probably think she was buying educational material for her children. The common term in the US would be the Liquor Store or maybe even the Packaged Goods Store. Just adding an additional comment as someone reminded me. In the US many States allow what I will call "soft liquor" to be purchases in general grocery stores. So you can buy things like beer and wine at your regular grocery, but "hard liquor" you would have to go to the liquor store/package goods store, because those places have to have a liquor license to sell it. Also, many bars will have a package goods store where you can also purchase bottled liquor to take home.
Yes I am from the Boston, MA area. It is most commonly called a liquor store, or the packie short for package store. Very common when I was in high school for someone to say I got someone to go to the packies for me. I have never heard the term ABC store. Interesting.
ABC Stores exist in only 17 states. Those states do not allow retail package liquor to be sold by anyone but the state's Alcohol Beverage Commission. It is kind of depressing to reside in such a state as there is never a "sale" on prices and absolute nothing but hard liquor is sold in an ABC store. I was in Virginia on a 7 month work contract and discovered ABC Stores. I have no idea what states make up the other 16, but apparently NC is one of them. The number of locations of ABC stores is also limited as there is no competition allowed in the sale of hard liquor in those states. I was in Fairfax, VA for that 7 months and only found ONE ABC Store in that city.
@@susu1946 Correct, most areas in the states it's simply "Liquor Store"..."common wealth" states have "ABC Stores"...and in Maryland the liquor store is "the bar", not to be confused with an actual bar that you sit in.. rediculous I know.
I think people tend to forget that the U.S. has a fairly diverse set of accents itself, just like the U.K. and Australia. A California accent doesn't sound like a Tennessee accent, and a Tennessee accent doesn't sound like a Rhode Island accent, and so on.
West Virginian (me) is pretty unique too. In fact, the Appalachian accent is closer to Elizabeth in English than modern UK English because of the historic, geographical isolation of the Appalachian region.
I agree. I live in the NE US, and we would call this a liquor store, or in New England (in the far Northeast), this would be called a package store [Edited to avoid misunderstanding}
I'm french and I just realised that when I speak english I mix all of these.. I guess teachers at school in France just didn't tell us the differences between cultures, that's too bad! Very interesting video
@@teresaantonio5867I agree with you ! I live in Québec ( a french province of Canada ) I suppose I have learned canadian english at school but I love the british accent ! I wish I'll have the opportunity to go visit England one day...I wish to go to USA and Australia also ! I'm happy to listen to these videos today. Thank you Lucy ! Have a great day everybody !
Il fut un temps où l'anglais enseigné en France était British, depuis le l'avènement à grande échelle des séries américaines et le fait que les étudiants en langue anglaise ne choisissent plus principalement la Grande Bretagne pour leurs études nous avons de plus en plus un anglais scolaire moins homogène. Par contre ce qui me frappe c'est le nombre de mots français ou ayant une base française c'est hallucinant 😮
"Alcoholic beverage control (ABC) states, generally called control states, are 17 states in the United States that, as of 2016, have state monopoly over the wholesaling or retailing of some or all categories of alcoholic beverages"...such as distilled spirits / liquors...ergo, an "ABC Store" is often used to refer to the place where this type of alcohol is sold in these States (and this is actually on the sign of the store). But you can buy beer or wine pretty much anywhere (doesn't have to be an ABC store).
In America we also sometimes call a highway a freeway. The reason is because before the federal interstate system, roads like that usually included having to pay a toll. The freeway could be driven on for free with no toll.
Same. That comes with being Indian. Especially the British and US ones. British English was taught in schools to us and what we hear today in popular medias is American one so we use best of both. Like British Chips but Amrican way of saying fries but as children we used to refer to as fry as chips
Each motorway has its own identifying number after the letter M. M1, M2 etc. but the M25 is less of a motorway and more of a car park...parking lot...ahhh whatever. Being English in America sucks sometimes.
When Emma said that old people in Australia say "trousers," it actually made so much sense to me. Because that meant the old people she described were veterans of when Australia was under the British empire.
Lucy - Isn't it Off Licence - To license is the verb, but the certificate is a licence - The term off licence means it is outside the alcohol licencing laws, which years ago was very restrictive
I'm American. I've never heard of ABC store, it's a liquor store. We also say the woods, and some people say thongs for flip flops, rain boots can also be called rubbers, we have freeways and expressways, trousers and slacks.
i'm from Virginia and we have ABC stores to buy hard liquors. but now I live in California and they don;t have ABC stores and instead you can buy hard liquor at a gas stations or 7/11's even after 9pm.
I moved to Australia and I remember being told about the dress code on my first day at work. My manager said that I couldn't wear "thongs" and I told her it was none of her business 😂
I’m from Illinois in the US and “the woods” and “forest” are almost completely interchangeable but using the word forest is definitely for bigger areas of trees.
UK here, "the woods" is basically just a term to describe a small, unnamed collection of trees. A forest is much larger and older and is typically named, for example the ancient Savernake Forest. Other terms include a copse or coppice which is an area of privately owned trees which be fenced off, which may be used for commercial purposes like firewood or sap. There is also a grove which is usually a very small plot of land where trees grow with minimal undergrowth.
I'm American and I just started working for the UK market in my job. This was very helpful. I will say though, I was with Vanessa until you got to the store where you buy the alcohol. Everyone I know just calls it a "Liquor Store". I was today years old when I found out what ABC stands for. I've only ever heard of ABC Liquor which is a specific, branded store. Also, I would just say truck but I believe people that live in more rural areas or people that know a lot about trucks would say "tractor trailer". Anyway, super helped video. Thanks!
Just a note: Americans call it both “Forest” and “Woods.” The term “Forest” is generally used for much larger masses of trees while “Woods” is a smaller, more Suburban mass. Edit: We also use the term “Jungle,” but that is for more tropical areas.
That was my first thought too when looking at the picture... If she had shown it from the outside though... Here (the Netherlands) some will call a living room in a flat (-building) an appartement though. 😎👍
stfu , they never call it lollies, rather call lollipops to those stick ones. and sweets refere to their own traditional sweets made from diary products or flour. they simply call it chocolates.
Melbournian here! The 2cd one I’d say cookie, but it only works for these round doughy ones with like choc chip or something similar. Everything else is biscuit
Vanessa:- Comforter Emma:- that's weird, we call it "doona" Lucy:- You said comforter is weird but "doona" that's weird! We call it duvet Me:- Duvet? That's weird as well. We call it blanket 😶😂
But it’s not a blanket... a duvet/doona/comforter is more for decoration. It’s also puffy and large. I think a duvet/doona/comforter is like a type of blanket
@@lovenothate520 A duvet/comforter/doona is filled with either feathers or synthetic filling, and is put inside a duvet cover (which is a word used in the US btw, just probably not in North Carolina). A blanket is made of wool or synthetic fibers but is not "filled" with anything. It's a piece of fabric that is used over a sheet. Or it can be decorative.
Just came across English WITH LUCY videos found them to be very interesting and entertaining. I learned a lot how different we talk plus she’s very fun.
American english: clear and simple to understand British english: sound royal and beautiful Australia english: weird but absolutely cute!!!! Just my opinion 😊

As an American, I'd say the woods if they're in like the city or someone's backyard. But I've NEVER heard of an ABC store. We'd call them either a liquor or package store. Also, the pavement can be used for what you walk on or drive on ("pound the pavement"). Additionally, while we don't usually use duvet, we do have duvet covers that go over your comforter. Especially if you have a plain white one or just want to change up the look of your comforter without having to buy a new one.
Exactly
I think we were misrepresented 😂
Exactly but for liquor store we also say corner store... I've never heard of a package store before

I grew up in West Virginia and currently live in ohio after moving 10 years ago. I have never heard anyone describe a wooded area as a forest UNLESS they were speaking about a rain forest. We go hiking in the woods. We go hunting in the woods. We go shed hunting in the woods. I would say more “country” states say woods rather than forest.
The Woods is a Small Local Forest, probably Nearby or Between Towns. The US was One Big Forest when we got here.

I’m from New York, and I use both “the woods” and “forest”. I generally call a smaller group of trees “the woods” and a larger group a “forest”.

i’m from england and for me it sort of depends on what type of trees. i generallly call a group of lighter green trees ‘woods’ and darker evergreen trees as a ‘forest’
I think 🤔 Many Live tree call 🌳 forest and cut or pcs tree 🌳 woods. 😜😂
I really enjoyed your English lesson. Now I found out that I am using all these three different accents without knowing where to use correct ones. I'd love to learn more from all of you ladies 😊. Really appreciate your great help in learning English Language. I'm your big fan ❤❤.
Lucy, as far as using "woods" vs. "forest", it depends in America. The woods generally signifies a small wooded area, while a forest is a larger one.
didn't lucy explain it tho? at 9:09
I agree. I'm from Indiana and we call it the woods. I guess we think of forests as heavy pine tree areas like Yellowstone or BC Canada.
Yeah I'm from Illinois and I don't think I've ever really used the word "forest" in my life. We always called woodland type areas "the woods". I've even worked for farmers that would call it "the timber", but that's more of a rural expression. Maybe because where I'm from here in the Midwest there really aren't huge forests so it's not a common word.
@@USAR8888 you're right there's a difference like saying grassland or plains
I was born and raised in North Carolina and I've always called it the woods. The only time I would use forest is if I was talking about a very large wooded area, e.g, the Smoky Mountain National Forest.

In the US, if you were to adk, "Where's the nearest ABC Store?" you'd die of thirst before you get an answer. "Liquor Store" is what they're commonly called.
Package store or packie is fairly common too, or at least in the north east.
If someone asked me where an abc store is i'd die of laughter- ;-;
@@alexfalardeau1520 definitely not the case in the northwest. I live in Idaho and havent heard that one before
@@ChickentNug State store or liquor store in the Philadelphia area.
I would tell you to either go to Hawaii or Vegas to go to an ABC store. It's a store chain.
Cannot resist telling this story, I was talking with a British friend while driving down the George Washington Memorial Parkway, she said. "I never could understand why Americans drive on a parkway and park on a driveway." She was spot on.
I’ve lived in three different areas of the U.S. and I’ve never heard it called an ABC store. It’s called a liquor store. That’s what everyone I’ve ever known calls it.

ABC Store, this is a local term and I would says most Americans would have no idea what she was talking about if she told them she was at the ABC Store, they would probably think she was buying educational material for her children. The common term in the US would be the Liquor Store or maybe even the Packaged Goods Store.
Just adding an additional comment as someone reminded me. In the US many States allow what I will call "soft liquor" to be purchases in general grocery stores. So you can buy things like beer and wine at your regular grocery, but "hard liquor" you would have to go to the liquor store/package goods store, because those places have to have a liquor license to sell it. Also, many bars will have a package goods store where you can also purchase bottled liquor to take home.
Yes I am from the Boston, MA area. It is most commonly called a liquor store, or the packie short for package store. Very common when I was in high school for someone to say I got someone to go to the packies for me. I have never heard the term ABC store. Interesting.
NJ here, it's called liquor store here
ABC Stores exist in only 17 states. Those states do not allow retail package liquor to be sold by anyone but the state's Alcohol Beverage Commission. It is kind of depressing to reside in such a state as there is never a "sale" on prices and absolute nothing but hard liquor is sold in an ABC store. I was in Virginia on a 7 month work contract and discovered ABC Stores. I have no idea what states make up the other 16, but apparently NC is one of them. The number of locations of ABC stores is also limited as there is no competition allowed in the sale of hard liquor in those states. I was in Fairfax, VA for that 7 months and only found ONE ABC Store in that city.
@@susu1946 Correct, most areas in the states it's simply "Liquor Store"..."common wealth" states have "ABC Stores"...and in Maryland the liquor store is "the bar", not to be confused with an actual bar that you sit in.. rediculous I know.

I think people tend to forget that the U.S. has a fairly diverse set of accents itself, just like the U.K. and Australia. A California accent doesn't sound like a Tennessee accent, and a Tennessee accent doesn't sound like a Rhode Island accent, and so on.
Hell, a North Jersey accent doesn't sound like a South Jersey accent.
LOL, my California wife and kids chuckle at my nasal Michigander vowels.
@@aemrt5745 you mean the Superior accent
Ctfu N.W., S.W., or N.E.DC DOES NOT SOUND LIKE SE DC
West Virginian (me) is pretty unique too. In fact, the Appalachian accent is closer to Elizabeth in English than modern UK English because of the historic, geographical isolation of the Appalachian region.
I am American and I have never ever heard of a store that only sells alcohol to be referred to as an ABC Store. We call those stores a liquor store.
I agree. I live in the NE US, and we would call this a liquor store, or in New England (in the far Northeast), this would be called a package store [Edited to avoid misunderstanding}
yeah I'm in WA and OR and we call them liquor stores
Visit Virginia. ABC = Alcohol Beverage Control. The state controls the sale of all “Hard Liquor”, beer and wine can be purchased at stores.
In the south, particularly VA and NC it’s called the ABC store.

Il fut un temps où l'anglais enseigné en France était British, depuis le l'avènement à grande échelle des séries américaines et le fait que les étudiants en langue anglaise ne choisissent plus principalement la Grande Bretagne pour leurs études nous avons de plus en plus un anglais scolaire moins homogène.

"Alcoholic beverage control (ABC) states, generally called control states, are 17 states in the United States that, as of 2016, have state monopoly over the wholesaling or retailing of some or all categories of alcoholic beverages"...such as distilled spirits / liquors...ergo, an "ABC Store" is often used to refer to the place where this type of alcohol is sold in these States (and this is actually on the sign of the store). But you can buy beer or wine pretty much anywhere (doesn't have to be an ABC store).

In America we also sometimes call a highway a freeway. The reason is because before the federal interstate system, roads like that usually included having to pay a toll. The freeway could be driven on for free with no toll.
In America it isn't generally an ABC store, it is normally called a liquor store
Melodie Fulmer I have never heard ABC Store either, but in Michigan everyone says party store. I guess it varies depending on where you are in the US.
USA is a big country, so there may be differents ways to say the same thing

American here: we do use duvets, and the alcohol shop is called a “liquor store.”
But- what is the highway in British English?
Im also curious
It’s called a motorway
Each motorway has its own identifying number after the letter M. M1, M2 etc. but the M25 is less of a motorway and more of a car park...parking lot...ahhh whatever. Being English in America sucks sometimes.
It's like a overhead bridge

I’m from Illinois in the US and “the woods” and “forest” are almost completely interchangeable but using the word forest is definitely for bigger areas of trees.
UK here, "the woods" is basically just a term to describe a small, unnamed collection of trees. A forest is much larger and older and is typically named, for example the ancient Savernake Forest. Other terms include a copse or coppice which is an area of privately owned trees which be fenced off, which may be used for commercial purposes like firewood or sap. There is also a grove which is usually a very small plot of land where trees grow with minimal undergrowth.
same and also from illinois. i wonder if it's different from state to state.
From Illinois, never heard of a semi being called a tractor trailer
I’m from IL too and I have always called it the woods

I'm American and I just started working for the UK market in my job. This was very helpful. I will say though, I was with Vanessa until you got to the store where you buy the alcohol. Everyone I know just calls it a "Liquor Store". I was today years old when I found out what ABC stands for. I've only ever heard of ABC Liquor which is a specific, branded store. Also, I would just say truck but I believe people that live in more rural areas or people that know a lot about trucks would say "tractor trailer". Anyway, super helped video. Thanks!
