Well-done, guys! I ran into these lovely videos via random googling but subscribed immediately. As an English teacher myself, this is really something I've been looking for. Genuine and authentic English, updated to as close as possible to the current time. Really appreciate your great work! Cheers!
It would be great if you subtitled the phrases you are explaining. (Not the whole video, only the terms). For a not native English speaker it’s a lot easier to remember a new word/ phrase after you have heard AND read it than to remember it after you only heard it. Thanks for you videos, always just as funny as informative! Keep them coming!
I love the style of your videos as well! I studied Spanish in college and it really sparked an interest for me in language differences and specifically how interesting accents and dialects are depending on regions. I found your channel by accident and I’m glad I did! It makes me want to go back to school and study linguistics.
I'm plugging you guys tomorrow as I'm doing a talk to 200 spanish teenagers in Spain and planning to show them a couple of your videos haha. I think your videos could really help them with their language learning and general knowledge of the UK. Thanks for making great videos! Hopefully they understand it hahahaa!
hey! I started watching you guys videos since I was in London and I am back in Korea, obviously south Korea, I still enjoy the vidoes. Thanks for the interesting videos. I am also one of the subcribers. really looking forward to the next episode. Cheers, mate!
How have I not found your channel before? I've searched for videos like this and I've found a few that I like. But you guys are brilliant! You have a new subscriber. :)
Yeah thanks for that. A phrase for skint though in the US would be "strapped for cash" which means the same thing. Dont you love these videos? I want to use their slang all the time haha
You guys are really great and natural together! Do you know the show Live with Kelly....? You both could have slid right in one day and been instantly LOVE!! Easily taking over the show with a super high paying 20 or more years! ....yep just absolutely organic and absolutely wonderful!!! Introducing..... “ LIVE WITH JOEL AND LIA!”....perfect fit!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I just heard about your channel today via your joint efforts with Gary C and so far I've only watched a couple of your videos and find them very interesting and amusing. I did notice one funny thing in this video however, in fact a bit of a malapropism - one of you used the word "ravishing" when I suspect the word you probably should have used is "ravenous" to indicate extreme hunger, during the segment on "peckish"; "ravishing" obviously has a quite different meaning and doubt if that's what you truly wished to say. Usually when I start watching a new channel I watch some of the more recent videos, before working my way backwards gradually when time permits, so I'm looking forward to delving in a little more.
Yes! I noticed that when we were editing! A combination between "ravenous" and "famished"! Thanks for coming over Bill, we hope you enjoy our other videos!
love it! I like the way you represent it, very ease and hilarious! you both are so adorable!😚 interesting, what parasite words do u have in English, especially in Britain? :)
Ah yeah! Some British fillers (apart from the classic, um, erm, and ah) are: 'like', 'sort of', 'kind of', 'so', 'okay', 'you know'. Love that they're called parasite words in Russian!
I'm commenting with my husband acc which was already signed in. Your videos are amazing and really helpful. Could you please make a video about how to greet people of different intimacy I mean do I have to hug or shake hands or kiss? I'm a little confused. I saw a gym mate in the town centre when he said good to see you i thought he wanted to shake hands but I missed that.
Thank you! It's been added to our list! So keep your eyes peeled! It's an awkward thing for everyone I think - not necessarily any correct answer! (We've definitely had some embarrassing moments too!)
Is it "Skint" and "Peckish"? For us, I can't think of an equivalent term for peckish besides "I'm starving or let's grub". Also, skint ir skinned (spelling?) is what we call being "broke"...no immediate cash flow or not enough money to purchase something.
Yep that's it. We should have written them on the screen, but we've written all the phrases in the description. Sorry! Yeah, skint is the same as broke! Some people might use broke over here, but not as much as in the States!
Those phrases that you said no one uses anymore? Strange people come out of the woodwork and bring them up with nasty comments on my videos, telling my tourist viewers about phrases no one ACTUALLY says. And to that I'm like WOT YOU ON ABOUT? INNIT ... obviously
Cool, thanks!! I'm a new subscriber, just today. I'm a writer doing some research, as I'm in the middle of writing a scene in which I've got an approximately 60-year-old lady with a cockney-ish accent. So I'm guessing she might use some slightly older phrases. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your little videos. Are those expressions still used ? I don't give a monkey's (I don't care) To do a ton (100 miles an hour) from Mungo Jerry's "in the summertime" Don't be a daft Are you tempted by a youtube series tour in France like in America?
are you sure you're not really Connecticut Yankees in Queen Elizabeth's court? I ask this because I haven not heard you say Blimey, Cheerio, Bollocks, Struth or bugger, What kind of Brits are you?
Weird question but in the UK is there a big issue of people not using the correct versions of “your” and “you’re”?! It seems like NOBODY can get it right here in the US and I can’t figure out why so many have such a hard time with it... or why it bothers me so much lol
Americans love a posh British Accent .....you two are very informative and yet fun ! I have a good time trying to speak with a British Accent....Americans Fall for it but I don't think I would fool anyone across the pond .....but with your tutorials you never can say.
I love this, you picked out some great, relatable slang words. Usually I watch these videos about British slang and I'm like "I've never heard that" 😂💜is that just me xxxxxxxxxx
"trained actors" whose "audience" consists of youtunbe views? That's just sad. Instead of couch surfing making VDOs, tube-on-over to the west end, sneak in some theaters and just "join in the dance troupe for the sinning/dancing numbers. When they ask "who are you", reply "New kids on the dock, understuding."
"ravishing - that's what Lia is" ==> BZZZZT. No. "Plain" is the word you're seeking. Or maybe "pleasantly non-descript.". Perhaps "not entirely puke-worthy."

I love how "raw" your videos feel. There are barely any cuts and edits like so many other youtubers do
Damn Patricia, back at it again with the lovely comment. We're just lazy RUclipsrs that's why! haha

Hey Mark! Thanks for subscribing! So glad you found us!
I can’t thank you enough for the videos you make,cuz you just do such a great job!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aw thank you!
Guys I like your sense of humor I love you both 😂💜
Amazing
The equivalent of skint in the states is broke. It means the exact same thing, just temporarily out of money at a moment.
Thank you for commenting this. I was leaning towards it meaning Broke, but I wasn't sure.
Yeah thanks for that. A phrase for skint though in the US would be "strapped for cash" which means the same thing. Dont you love these videos? I want to use their slang all the time haha
We love your English language videos. You two are so giving😂😭✨LOVE YOU💘💘
Yay! Thanks Noor! We're basically online, charity workers. Giving free videos to the world. LOVE YA x
You guys are really great and natural together! Do you know the show Live with Kelly....? You both could have slid right in one day and been instantly LOVE!!

“ LIVE WITH JOEL AND LIA!”....perfect fit!!! ♥️♥️♥️
4.40 peckish doesn't turn in to ravishing - that's what Lia is. Ravenous is the word you're looking for.
Another video! Love you guys 💜
Hey Elle! Love you too! thanks for being a bae!
Loved this video guys! It's weird to think like we say them and always know the meaning and yet to some people they have no clue
Yeah isn't it odd? So many times during filming we're like "surely everyone knows this??" haha
Thank you for this video, it's so funny and I learned new useful expressions :)
Glad you found it useful Luis! :)
I can't agree with Lia enough when it comes to the meaning of skint vs poor, I have had an argument over it hahah
We use "cheers" here in the US too..A LOT. peckish i think we use over here like someone who's mean like chickens pecking each other. 😄🐔🐓
Feeling much cleverer after this video🤓Thank you
It would be great if you subtitled the phrases you are explaining. it will be good for us please.
Love your hair in this Lia 😍 x

Yes! I noticed that when we were editing! A combination between "ravenous" and "famished"! Thanks for coming over Bill, we hope you enjoy our other videos!
What about the expression "bloody"? Explain the derivation please. I always wanted to know why Brits say this. Thanks!
songbird501 it's like saying f**king
Great job guys keep going but I hope you write down the wrds or phrases while explaining them
Thank you! Yes we will do that next time, sorry! We've written the phrases down in the video description.
Love you guys!!! Love your videos!!!
Thanks Cathy!
love it! I like the way you represent it, very ease and hilarious! you both are so adorable!😚
interesting, what parasite words do u have in English, especially in Britain? :)
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it! What do you mean by 'parasite words'? :)
Joel & Lia Sorry, i guess it called "fillers" in English. We call it parasite words in Russian 😀
Ah yeah! Some British fillers (apart from the classic, um, erm, and ah) are: 'like', 'sort of', 'kind of', 'so', 'okay', 'you know'. Love that they're called parasite words in Russian!
cheers means goodbye as well

How do you spell the site for things to do free and under a tenner?
skint London
Thank you!
My favorite Brits! Once again very informative and well done! Thanks again for posting!
Is it "Skint" and "Peckish"?
For us, I can't think of an equivalent term for peckish besides "I'm starving or let's grub". Also, skint ir skinned (spelling?) is what we call being "broke"...no immediate cash flow or not enough money to purchase something.
Yep that's it. We should have written them on the screen, but we've written all the phrases in the description. Sorry! Yeah, skint is the same as broke! Some people might use broke over here, but not as much as in the States!
The 510 Zone besides Queen Victoria lolol yes
I rarely see that you've answered any comments
You should have written them on the screen guys for us Filipino like me.thanks for this informative video.Till next time.
Yes we will next time!
"skint" (derived from "skinned") means "broke".
TV shows like Crazyheads, Lovesick, Chewing Gum and Cuckoo are full with those expressions of the modern British English.
Yes!! We love Chewing Gum especially!
I was watching this video and my mum heard and she said that Lias got a nice voice and that your both very funny 😂❤️
haha, aww that's so nice! Thank you!
I think the American equivalent of skint would be "broke."
What is the meaning of the word "nick"? Is is stolen?, as in "it got nicked". Or is it the jail. As in " I was in the nick".
Very useful :) Cheers
I'm really beginning to see that your emphasis is often on a different syllables from us.
Those phrases that you said no one uses anymore? Strange people come out of the woodwork and bring them up with nasty comments on my videos, telling my tourist viewers about phrases no one ACTUALLY says. And to that I'm like WOT YOU ON ABOUT? INNIT ... obviously
ello guvnor. no one uses them mate, even though we think they're the bees knees. it's a crying shame.
Can you spell skint? Is that right?? Just wondering.
Yep that's right
Cool, thanks!! I'm a new subscriber, just today. I'm a writer doing some research, as I'm in the middle of writing a scene in which I've got an approximately 60-year-old lady with a cockney-ish accent. So I'm guessing she might use some slightly older phrases. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your little videos.
Are those expressions still used ?
I don't give a monkey's (I don't care)
To do a ton (100 miles an hour) from Mungo Jerry's "in the summertime"
Don't be a daft
Are you tempted by a youtube series tour in France like in America?
Awe we love when you comment back!
Well you're in for a treat Taylor because we're commenting back RIGHT NOW! How are ya?
Joel & Lia I am great! Your videos always make me happy. How are y'all?😜
Are you saying Mate, Maid or May?
david sanders mate
Great video
Thanks John! How are you?
Peckish is pretty common in the U.S. So is the phrase, "What are you going on about?"
"Taking the piss out of". makes me laugh. It's as if you're trying to remove all the urine from your body.
I say seriously probably 20 times a day if I’m at school.
I'd say they're a little bit snobby...
Noooo ;)
I'm not live in British. So your video's very interesting theme. I can't wait to see next video!!!
Thank you!
are you sure you're not really Connecticut Yankees in Queen Elizabeth's court? I ask this because I haven not heard you say Blimey, Cheerio, Bollocks, Struth or bugger, What kind of Brits are you?
What are you going on about we say that in America i say it to my boyfriend
Saw this after the other comment I made. Oops. Sorry! :)
Weird question but in the UK is there a big issue of people not using the correct versions of “your” and “you’re”?! It seems like NOBODY can get it right here in the US and I can’t figure out why so many have such a hard time with it... or why it bothers me so much lol
yes there is, also the correct there/their/they're.
The expression “ cringe “ is kinda annoying 🤨
Americans love a posh British Accent .....you two are very informative and yet fun ! I have a good time trying to speak with a British Accent....Americans
Fall for it but I don't think I would fool anyone across the pond .....but with your tutorials you never can say.
Thanks Michael! You never know - keep practising!
😄
Katie. I swear to God....
So peckish = munchy.
ParadoxicallySweet ooh yes lol i have the munchies
2:19 self laugh moment 😂👌🏼
All one needs in life is oneself. Endless fun.
😂
Miriam. What did I say????????
Joel & Lia I know! That's partly why I did it!
I love this, you picked out some great, relatable slang words. Usually I watch these videos about British slang and I'm like "I've never heard that" 😂💜is that just me xxxxxxxxxx
Yeah, that's what we found! Got no time for unrealistic slang, WE THE REALEST! XXX
Pardon? Lol jk
"trained actors" whose "audience" consists of youtunbe views? That's just sad. Instead of couch surfing making VDOs, tube-on-over to the west end, sneak in some theaters and just "join in the dance troupe for the sinning/dancing numbers. When they ask "who are you", reply "New kids on the dock, understuding."
91 comments is too many? ok. 'nuff said.
"brilliant" and "fantastic" no metion? really?
"ravishing - that's what Lia is" ==> BZZZZT. No. "Plain" is the word you're seeking. Or maybe "pleasantly non-descript.". Perhaps "not entirely puke-worthy."
