I have almost an advanced level so for me both of you have a very clear accent. If you haven't put the subtitules I woudn’t have understood everything but I’d have understood most of the conversation. Anyway, I would say that it’s always more difficult to understand an audio that a video (even without subtitules). The gestures are everything in a conversation. This kind of videos are great to improve our listening, please, could you upload more like this one? Thanks.
How to get subtitles for this video please
@mohammed saleh If you want to copy the subtitles, then you need to click on the three dot menu in the bottom left hand corner under the video, then click "open transcript" and you can see and copy there the transcript for the whole video. If you want to see the subtitles while watching the video, just click on the captions icon
@@user-rc2le2mq4uon a pc right?! It doesn't work with a cell phone
@@yarahossam1788 yes, exactly, I was talking about PC
Yeah, I agree with you! It’s a good way to study ir just learn something and have fun :)
i really like this kind of video where native english speakers talk to each other naturally and not trying to adjust the language being used to suit learners. please make more of these!
Thankyou! ☺️
listen to podcasts
You are not alone Laura- many parents I know are so worried about the schooling system! I guess your conversation has been more educational than you'd have expected! Great as usual, keep up the excellent work.
This sort of videos are very useful for learners to understand real conversations of native English speakers. I appreciate it😊
The real talk is a good vitamin for the learners. Great job!
Thank you so much both of you for giving us a chance to listening native speakers dialogue .
This kind of video not only sharpens our listening skills, but also provides a chance for us to learn how u guys views things on different matters. Please continue to make these videos in the future. Thank you.
Thanks, Laura the lessons that I can learn from you are very pragmatic and practical
This one is absutely necessary and helpful contents for studying English! Thank you so much❤
I just found your channel. It's so useful for my listening practice. I think, I understood 99%. That's great.
It was lovely to hear your conversation! I love your sense of humor and critical thinking 😉
Thank you, guys, so much for this great conversation! I've really enjoyed it! The way you communicated, the topics you discussed, the opinions you shared with us made this video really entertaining and thought-provoking
Have a lovely conversation! Please do it more!
This is the only way to teach English just be spontaneous with it .All the English teachers out there should get this concept .Well done you guys
I had same problem, really good chat. Although I can’t understand all of it, I will try to study every sentence with transcripts. Thank you very much ❤
it is exactly what I'm looking for! Fantastic! Thank youuuuu!!
Wow this felt like a Podcast Session. Thoroughly enjoyed! I think one more reason is I think our idea of life is so alike ❤❤❤
A very useful video, really. I've striven following with no subtitles: it's been quite difficult but I was able to focus on the conversation. The main difference from a frontal lesson it's that in this case you have used a lot of connected speech and idioms and these are the turning points from a basic level language skills to a good fluency and a grasp of the language expendable in a real conversation with a native speaker. Thanks gaain for this video.
The milleniium falcon on the table is amazing! Love it!!!
Listen to A British native talk is so satisfying. It's like *ASMR* to me. Specially I like to listen to Kate Winslet. Her way of talking is perfect. And yes, can't forget Jason. 👍
keep it up
Great video 🤩 Thank you for that.
Not only for the English, but I loved listening to your opinions and thoughts about the subjects.
Looking forward to more!
So glad you liked it! There will definitely
be more☺️🇬🇧
I'm a student studying English. It's a very helpful video.
I'll have to see you more often. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this video!
I have an intermediate level and I got great pleasure from this video, despite the fact that I rewinded it many times. I knew 95% of the words, but it was generally not clear what they were saying, because half of the words were simply not spoken in the video. Very interesting.
Lovely practice, thank you
It was refreshing to listen and watch an actual natural conversation in English. Some other channels offer that but in reality the speakers in the videos still adjust their speed of talking and speak more slowly than they would in a 'natural' conversation.
I hit the 'subscribe' button 2min into your chat because of that!
Thanks guys❣️
Thank you so much!! Yes, that’s our aim with these videos!☺️
luv ur content! especially the real conversation
It's such a good conversation.. I learned so much things.
It's so superb natural real English conversation thousands of English lovers looking for. Pls pls pls make many more same videos on varieties of topics
I could have joined your converstation. I think I understood everything. good feeling.
I don’t understand because I am level 2 but the vídeo was so really interesting to me . I hope one day understand all.
Thanks for your videos.
❤❤❤
Incredible Teacher🎉
Thank you! It is really helpful❤❤
Got to save this for later. This is actually great, but too hard for me to understand yet. But, anyway, thanks a million for such a great and helpful video!
So beneficial thank you both keep continuing and loading pls❤
Thank you for that.
Not only for the English, but I loved listening to your opinions and thoughts about the subjects.
Looking forward to more
Glad you enjoyed it!✨☺️☺️☺️
I'm a little late, but it was a great video. This is the real English and schools don't prepare the students for this. We need more contents like this.
I really enjoyed this. Please make more videos like this. Particularly hilarious one. I live in the UK but I don’t understand English Humor 😢
I understood almost everything at the begining of this video but the real native side i understood maybe 20 % of the words you said.
This is why my IELTS listening practise scores are very low.
This was good, I'd like to see more of this.
Excellent Discussion which helps for improving English Learning, Lovely. Best wishes
To be honest This video might more about sharing of your feeling for each other with british accent and i love to load that all.learned much appreciated dude take care.hope to take course🙂🙂
The subject and topic you’re talking about is was very interesting!
Wow, this is such a nice video! I appreciate your personal views and that you talk 'up speed' and naturally. Learning new vocabulary in context (with some highlighted words now and then) really works for me.
Thank you so much!
I have to say how much I enjoyed the conversation! It was lovely and provocative at the same time❤ thank you guys for bringing up such important topics ;)
Tku for sharing your conversation. My teacher sharing this video with me to study. I stay impressive whit your comments about the people passion. I have did think about this before, and this is a interesting point of view and I agree a lot!!
Tku one more time ! Success for you both
Such a nice conversation i love it
Fantastic! (the transcript was very useful) Can we have more videos like this one, please? Thank you!
For me is pretty hard to understand in that normal speech but I admire this learning approach.I had repeated many times in every session and pause lots of time to try to memorise and rote the terms and slang. Is that a right manner to learn English as I still figuring out which approach is suit me. Lastly, the video really fascinating and make me laugh which creat a joyful ambience to learn English!Really love it!
This is really good vedio for what native speakers say in everyday lives. I cannot understood my native spekers when they speak to each other super fast although my listening score in IELTS is high (9).
Thank you so much.
i went to three different secondary schools in the UK and rule at all three was that phones were banned everywhere on school site. even if you had it out at lunch or break, a teacher could confiscate it. the only time you were allowed to get it out was when school was over for the day, so children could contact parents about getting home. i think your school is the exception rather than the norm for allowing kids to use phones at lunch.
i think probably nowadays they're even stricter, as the potential for bullying and safeguarding issues is much higher. my sister works in a school and she says there's been lots of occasions of children photographing others and uploading the photos to social media as a form of bullying. i don't think it's something i would worry about schools not being hot on!
as an aside, i love how youtube is recommending this to me despite being a native english speaker from the UK 😅
I come across you by chance. Talking way of you comes to me clearer than other youtubers doing the same work as you. Thanx a a lot
I appreciate that!☺️🇬🇧⭐️
I really enjoyed this video!
Excellent video! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!🇬🇧⭐️
You guys are brilliant. Really helpful videos. Thanks!
Glad you like them!☺️☺️
That was a great start of my day listening to your conversation! Keep up the good work ❤

Laura and Berwyn that's awesome! I loved this!
Yay! Thank you!☺️🇬🇧
More videos like this, please!
love this format, hope you created more :)
So so glad you liked it!! ☺️☺️☺️🇬🇧

Glad you enjoyed it!☺️☺️
This was valuable content - also good to figure out the native way of pronunciation:) More of it please :)
Thank you! Will do!
Many thanks
That's just what I need.
I would say this is the best video from this channel and I learnt exceptionally more in it. it is in a natural way.
Wow, thank you! More to come of this style of video! ☺️🇬🇧
@@smashingenglish I just moved to the UK for 1 year and sometimes couldn't understand thoroughly in everyday English and you guys videos inspired me a lot and let me understand the reason for this could be different accents. Now I m starting to watch Peaky blinders, Crown and listening to BBC to learn the different accents
please more from this kind of videos! Conversation!!! :)

Critical thinking, and empathy what a smart people
Thankyou for the conversation. It makes for good practice for English test preparation.
It's my pleasure😉
Thanks for such a useful podcast. I really liked it
Our pleasure!☺️☺️
That’s brilliant 🥰
Thank you very much for the video :) I'd like to say something about tipping. In my opinion you should tip a restaurant. Generally, the waiter/waitress do not get paid well because of tipping culture. In most countries, it is discretionary but if you can afford it and the service was good, it’s customary to leave a tip.
Your pronunciation is so clear that I understand it better than my native language. I even had to watch the video at 2x speed to add extra difficulty, and also because I got hooked up on the tipping part.
The challenge would be hearing people with strong accents, like Irish, Australian, New Castle or Southern States. I've seen that some times even native English speakers struggle to understand those, and if you try being a non-English native, you'll die from either a stroke or your head exploding.
You watched it on 2x ..are you kidding me ? Like i felt like she's giving accelerator to her accent ⚰️ ... But i could all ears to sir.🙂
I am very impressive from you are associated of the IELTS videos❤
I agree with the response of the last question, common sense
I REALLY LIKED IT, THANK YOU!!
I'm glad you like it☺️😍
I had a bit of trouble understanding the woman but what the man was really clear tho. Thank you !
Regarding phones in schools... interestingly almost everyone looks at it from restricting point of view. Why won't we involve mobile phones into the educational process? We see there is a strond demand from pupils/students... I think teachers must use this keen interest in a positive way. Having games/plays/any other sort of interactions / etc. as part of learning is better than just plain teacher's speech or lecture... I think this is just a matter of developing a new educational program and yes may be having money to invest in it. Sorry for the messy flow of thoughts... you both are stars! 🤩 Thank you for your lessons!!!
Really nice❤️❤️
👏👏👏👏👏A gooorgeous chat ! And frightfully nice English ! You remind me of all the people I met at Cowdray Park Polo Club, in Midhurst !😀😀😀Un abrazo from Olivos, Buenos Aires, Argentina🇦🇷🏴🇬🇧🇦🇷🏴🇬🇧🇦🇷🏴🇬🇧
More such videos! 👍
that is what I needed
Great listening practice! At 9:10, did you say "init insane"? A short version for "isn't it insane"? I hope you upload more chats like this, because I'm definitely going to use them in the classroom.
I love the Millennium Falcon next to the lamp!
Hey! Phonetically I said ‘Ent that insane?’ which is an evolved and idiosyncratic version of ‘isn’t that insane?’ You might hear natives saying ‘ent’ instead of ‘isn’t’ if it fits their dialect, age and accent 😊
@@smashingenglish I reckon I haven't heard "ent", but I know "init" as tag question. I just thought you used it here to start the question. I'll pay more attention when people say "ent". Thanks for the reply!
wow, thanks a lot, it's a big pleasure to listen your conversation, you're very nice smart and beautiful/handsome guys, agree with you, happy to discover your channel! and i love sooo much british english, the honey for my ears
Really good
Very nice ❤❤❤
She speaks exactly as the recorder of the c1 test wow
This reminded me of the opening of Reservoir Dogs, where Steve Buscemi makes the exact point that you guys made.
I'm from the UK so I don't know why I watched this, but it was interesting nonetheless lol
Very very nice 🇧🇷
I'm watching from Bangladesh ❤❤❤.
Make more of such videos plzz 🎉
I love the qualities you chose as the most important for a person. Especially critical thinking and empathy. I feel that in some cases passion can be dangerous without those two 😤, but as a cherry on top - for sure. It occurred to me that a person is only - not sure how to put it - allowed to act as a real, mature human being when they understand the basics. I also thought of gratitude and appreciation. That was a really pleasant conversation to listen to and a good learning experience. Thank you both. ❤
Thankyou SO much ☺️✨
Thanks
