Let's learn a few words from this clip I hope you learned something new 😊 We'd really appreciate it if you could share these videos and give us a follow❤
There's a good scene in House where he's calling various people for whatever reason and for one of them he does a bad English accent. Wild to me that he's ACTUALLY English, playing an American, impersonating a bad English accent 😂
And then here I am. English is my second language and it was very helpful😂 cos that is a word I don't hear often. And nephrology is clear as class. For some reason. Idk where and when I learned that. But I am really into medicine
My old GP was very similar to the House character. He would get the gist of it, interrupt you, then leave the room without saying bye or anything. It was very strange, but the guy knew his stuff.
Hugh Laurie is a true Renaissance man. Graduated Cambridge University in archaeology and anthropology. Was on the Cambridge rowing team (a big deal) and training for the Olympics (had a gland disease and had to stop). Has written a best selling novel. Plays multiple musical instruments and has released two gold/platinum selling albums (jazz on the Warner label). With Stephen Fry and Rowan Atkinson made two of the most enduring comedy series ever, and in drama was the highest paid TV actor for House. The man can do it all.
For me it was the other way around, I’m German and I grew up with Blackadder and A Bit of Fry and Laurie (a tv channel showed both in English when I was younger) and I was shocked when I first heard his American accent. That accent just didn’t sound right to my ears.
If Hugh Laurie was a real trickster he should have never revealed his British accent, then ever now and again been like "hey, check out this British accent I can do" and nobody would have ever known.
Well, he was already famous here in the UK beforehand so that would have been known and it’s known that he was born in the UK. But interestingly, he did keep his American accent when in the States. Stephen Fry told a story about meeting him in America when he was filming House MD and when they met up for dinner, he kept his accent American because it helped him when he needed to do it for the show even though Fry told him to stop it.
I love Hugh Laurie in House. I am watching the series right now and the show has been over for 12 years. I never got into it when it started 20 years ago. Absolutely love this series! It is brilliant! ❤😊
Have you not seen his previous stuff, mainly comedy, daft British comedy with Steve Fry, Rowen Atkinson (mr been). It's worth a watch, but I do know how it carries to an overseas audience.
Never caught it yrs sgo but one cold wknd I stumbled into HOUSE and watched 38 hrs non-stop ❤😊. Incredible intensity and then a gr8 laugh, then moreso.. Totally Awesome Hugh 😮😊
My first neurologist was basically a female version of House. Loved her. She was pure black and white, if you did what she told you then she was nice, if not you saw her angry side. She's the reason I got my tubes tied (I'm on meds that cause fatal foetal abnormalities) and called up a friend hers who was a throat specialist when I got a virus that coated the inside of my mouth and my oesophagus with ulcers, making it impossible to eat or drink. My gp prescribed antibiotics the size of horse tranquillisers 🙄 the throat doctor sorted me out though
He’s been on our TV a lot lot longer, what’s weird is why your country insists on a US accent 99 times out of 100 no matter where the actor is from & not just English generally.
@@haynesy1476A lot of us, even here in America, watched him on shows like Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster. I’m surprised so many people didn’t know of him before.
I actually watching House since yesterday 😂 So still in season 1, but few months back I was like:"What? Why don't you have that on your shelf?? You need that!" So, I bought it and I am enjoying it. Crazy enough...it pushed me to go for a medical job. Which actually happened. I was thinking I was not good enough to do anything like it. Cos...the knowledge you acquired for anything around patients... it's a lot. But somehow turns out. I was a lot better at that, than ANY subject at school including biology 😂 So, yeah...It gave me the last push to go and try it.❤
@@somerandomguy2073well now I feel like a dick about my comments because I'm like I would have liked to know what a nephrologist does rather than hear what alleviating means, but I would have never taken the time to skim through the channel to make sure if it was a English as a second language channel lol
Just yesterday a friend was telling me about Hugh's band & talking with him after a performance, saying what a nice guy & down to earth man. So, he's making people happy on more than one front!
Binged watched all the series last Autumn, loved this. The characters were fantastic especially the complex House. Laurie is a talented actor, made me go from being sympathetic to totally disliking him. I'm used to his British accent but he seemed so comfortable being American, convinced me anyway.
No nephrologist would have your sense of humor and your grasp of the ironic!! Your depiction of the effed medical corporate world on screen was so prescient -- and it was my first introduction to a system I would later need to learn to negotiate! Thank you, sir!!❤
It's amazing how much time has passed. I remember watching this show from the beginning, sometimes with my mother, sometimes with other family members. In different states. People have passed they were alive when I first watched this show with them.… It was a great show.
This video is a beautiful micro-example of the cultural stereotypes too, the American braggadocio never takes long to seep through, and the British self effacement acts as a perfect foil
He’s a wonderful actor. I found it interesting g when he said that even after playing house for 8+ years, the American accent has never felt natural and that he constantly feels frustrated because of it.
Not that common for foreigners. Check the purpose of this channel, that word definition is not just a 'stylistic choice", it's the whole purpose this video was uploaded
This really caught me off guard lol. What is the target audience for this short? People who know what a nephrologist is, but not the word alleviate? Wonder if this is a creation of AI :D
@@kiverismusic people who like Hugh Laurie and/or House, I would imagine? I wouldn't expect most people to know what nephrology is unless they or someone they know has experienced kidney disease, and even then it's far more likely they'd refer to them as their doctor than their nephrologist. Alleviate, however, is a very commonly used word. You'd only need to have seen an ad for cold medicine to know what it means.
@@somerandomguy2073 you don't learn what words mean by learning a second language. You learn alternative words for words you already know and would hopefully know the meanings of when learning a second language.
One thing that's truly wild to me is that House is now old enough for some people to never have seen on television or even streaming, but are completely familiar with who House is based on RUclips shorts of the show alone.
Yesterday I finished all House😢... now, what to whatch that can give me the same amount of curiosity, psychological analisys of each caracter, brilliant and sarcastic humor and so on? (it was like a back in time, realizing all things that are (for good) so inappropriate now. Hugh, thanks for create House even if it was hard for you personally. Obviously, your are much more than House, but thank you for that perfect role you constructed✨ And YES, you make me happy with this show. Period😁
I went to see a Doctor for the first time in years a few weeks ago. I was absolutely shocked when the Dr walked in and she was only about 29yrs old. She basically still looked like a young teenage girl from my perspective. Yet she was incredibly professional and efficient. It really rattled me because it made me realise how much of my life i have wasted doing arbitrary, hedonistic and ultimately unproductive shit with my time. While she was busy studying to become a Doctor i was busy snorting cocaine off of toilet seats inside public toilets.

He does such a convincing American accent his real accent sounds like he's doing an accent
Only if you were not aware of him before House. He was pretty well known in Britain and some other Commonwealth countries well before House.
He's actually a one-half of an iconic comedy duo, "Fry & Laurie."
There's a good scene in House where he's calling various people for whatever reason and for one of them he does a bad English accent.
Wild to me that he's ACTUALLY English, playing an American, impersonating a bad English accent 😂
@heavymetal116 also different Georges in Black Adder.
No it doesn't 😂
showing the definition alleviating instead of nephrologist lmao
this 😂😂 but i have no idea what a nephrologist is, that they didn’t wanna define 😂
just googled it, a nephrologist is a kidney doctor
yes lol😂
And then here I am. English is my second language and it was very helpful😂 cos that is a word I don't hear often.
And nephrology is clear as class. For some reason. Idk where and when I learned that. But I am really into medicine
IKR I was like: are you kidneying me?
Imagine going to the doctor and the doctor is literal actual Doctor House
Given how he specializes in rare, difficult cases, I’d be a bit scared to say the least
My old GP was very similar to the House character. He would get the gist of it, interrupt you, then leave the room without saying bye or anything. It was very strange, but the guy knew his stuff.
I would love that
Imagine he has a team for Diagnostics, you d be looking for hidden Cams all time in his rooms
I'm glad a 13 year old had the time to make this come true.
I could observe Hugh Laurie for hours.
Me too
Same
having a huge crush on him 😭
Martha?
Let him talk about paint drying, and I'd still listen 😊

It's a common enough word for an adult native speaker, sure, but that probably just means you and I aren't the target audience.
The youtube channel that posted this is a linguistics channel - they post clips using complicated words in conversational context, with definitions
@@BloodlessJG Obviously not the one you went too!
And?
He is so talented. A legend
I agree. I am in awe of how multitalented Hugh Laurie is.
Watched all of house and this is the first time I’ve heard his real voice. He is an amazing actor by god.
you clearly haven't seen blackadder or a bit of fry and laurie
@sophroniel correct, they have not, otherwise they'd know he was British, and if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike

Except of course, for everyone in Britain ;)
I’ve only just started house which is great, but his accent on the show is really disconcerting lol

have you really never seen blackadder?
@@duderyandude9515 it seems like his accent goes along with the character, so he would have to continue being house haha
I love Hugh Laurie in House. I am watching the series right now and the show has been over for 12 years. I never got into it when it started 20 years ago. Absolutely love this series! It is brilliant! ❤😊
Man.... i always forget this guy's British. It's so odd hearing that accent after hearing the American accent for all that time.
Have you not seen his previous stuff, mainly comedy, daft British comedy with Steve Fry, Rowen Atkinson (mr been). It's worth a watch, but I do know how it carries to an overseas audience.
The definition of alleviate coming up but not nephrologist is wild
Not really. Unless you're stupid
Never caught it yrs sgo but one cold wknd I stumbled into HOUSE and watched 38 hrs non-stop ❤😊. Incredible intensity and then a gr8 laugh, then moreso..
Totally Awesome Hugh 😮😊
awesome show, love the guy
You defined alleviating but not nephrologist??
Kidney doctor
Talented guy , indeed talented cast in general
We would be so much worse off without Hugh Laurie's brilliant performances.

I still get shivers any time i hear the British accent on this man, it feels... Weird...
It feels wrong, it feels like he’s faking it

These short lessons are very useful 👍🏼
Thanks. Now I know what "alleviate" means.
They do say that laughter is the best medicine, and House gave me plenty of those
Hugh loves what he does, it's obvious. 🧡☕️🌱
Gotta love Hugh! Been so long since I heard him talk without the House persona
You are alleviating suffering by bringing laughter man. Thank you sir ❤❤
I almost mistake Nephrologist for Necrologist
I had no idea he had an accent. Love it ❤
But he doesnt have an accent...?
@@itseperkele181 He has a British accent.
Everyone has an accent. An accent is a style of pronunciation.
The only people who don't have accents are mutes.
@@crystalr2513 'twas a joke
@@Xeroph-5 I know. I was joking.
Why on earth is there a written definition of the word alleviate given?

He could’ve but he inspired a lot to be doctors
I actually watching House since yesterday 😂 So still in season 1, but few months back I was like:"What? Why don't you have that on your shelf?? You need that!" So, I bought it and I am enjoying it.

Laurie is a great doctor, as we all know laughter is the best medicine!
I love that it gives a definition for alleviating
and not for a nephrologist. Which unless you have Kidney problems you'll have no idea.
Or if you went to school
i'm on my last year of school. i literally saw that 3 years ago 💀
Thank god you defined alleviating. I was so confused.
Look at what channel posted this. It's a channel dedicated to teaching English as a second language.

i love how they defined alleviating .
House will always be one of my top 5 favorite TV shows❤❤
I thought the right side of his chair was his other leg for a second and I was like "DAMN HE GOT WIDE"

He has definitely alleviated my suffering.
Love the character, SOOO FUNNY 😂
You can hear the resentment he has towards what he must do for a living.
His father was a doctor and an Olympic gold medalist so I believe his humility is built in lol
This video is a beautiful micro-example of the cultural stereotypes too, the American braggadocio never takes long to seep through, and the British self effacement acts as a perfect foil
I literally only know him as House. It's so weird to hear him be nice, and joking. I also love his cover of Unchain my heart ❤️
Best show ever! Watching it again
He’s a wonderful actor. I found it interesting g when he said that even after playing house for 8+ years, the American accent has never felt natural and that he constantly feels frustrated because of it.
Defining common words. Interesting stylistic choice.

House has inspired so many medical students
He’s also a jazz singer. Dude is wild.
I love so much about watching HOUSE.
One of the best shows out there.
That peaky blinders outro removed my like soo fast💀
House was one of the things that made me fall in love with medicine and pursue a career as a doctor
So good of House to play Hugh Laurie for this interview
Hugh is so lovely and funny! ❤
Imagine him IRL coming up to your bedside….. *HOLD UP* 😂🤣
Hugh laurie's music is where he really shines. He is a great actor, but i absolutely love his blues...
i was not aware that he was british
why is house talking like that?
house is actually British
@@chillmatchanah hes american hes just being goofy a silly little guy even
As English as the Queen

@@FudoDrmex i can assure you that Hugh is not an American
You know you killed it in a role when it sounds weird when people hear your natural accent.

Thanks Vocords! I really needed to know the definition of alleviate!
Imagine seeing House walk into your exam room at the doctor's office
So true. Love this series.
Darn it, I have homework to do and now I want to watch House again!
I love that Hugh wears the things House would wear
I think youre mking people happy❤
The best dialogue of the show was -" That son of a bitch is the best doctor we have "😂😂😂

High Laurie is an amazing guy and Conan O'Brien is a terrific interview foil, as quick on the draw as Laurie
I didn't realise what account this was and just thought someone in the show's production decided to show the definition lol
Hugh is one very handsome man, and an extremely good actor.
Even though i have grown up seeing hugh laurie in his UK shows i cant not expect his House accent 😂😂😂
He almost turned back to house when he said faking it. Lol
I laughed outloud when they showed the meaning of alleviating
Why did a definition pop up in the middle??
to alleviate the suffering of dyslexia
did they really just show me a definition of alleviating
