What was the hardest word for you to know in part 1?
corkscrew and plunger of course, unfamiliar word for me
corkscrew and plunger.
Worcestershire xcgdhubgd!!!! Jajajaja 🇦🇷
One of the hardest word in spanish maybe is: Esternocleidomastoideo
@user-ku7im2iq8v LOL is a great videogame, here in American Continent everybody plays it. And obviously playing it with friends is very funny. I have never played Dota 2, but perhaps It's also a Good Game.
And League Of Legends has one of the best Series of this decade: Arcane, besides it has an incredible OST and Animation.
In Colombia currently many people are very interested in learning English, this was not the case in past years but now everything is so different, people discovered the importance of speaking another language, because languages are the keys to open other worlds.
Welcome to the Coffeeland ☕
I did have A LOT OF coffee
Columbian coffee is the best in the world and it’s not surprising the younger generations are so interested in learning English or any other languages.
This is exactly how I feel personally as a native English only speaker, about Spanish. Ok, don't get me wrong lol I mean, as a high school student, I attempted to learn Spanish, but it didn't take 😢 😂 However, all these years later, I'm just starting to realize how interconnected a lot of languages are.. As someone once explained something to me, they are the same but different 🤷😅
Coffeland is in Brazil dude, the biggest producer.
Some context, in Colombia that kind of chair is something different from a regular chair, and it's usually called "SILLÓN" not "SILLA", so it is easy to confuse it with coach or sofa
To be fair, as an Australian and native speaker of English even I wouldn't call that a 'chair', but an 'armchair' :)
No es excusa, también se le dice silla y silla es chair.
@@williamruiz8467No, that was an armchair, not chair... 🎉🎉
@@williamruiz8467 Yea actually it is, you can get confuse because in spanish I would never call that "chair"
It's such a pleasure watching people from my country 🇨🇴 doing their best effort while speaking and pronouncing words in English 👏🏽.
That's not easy at all. Well done 👌🏽
Yeah, they were great and very open to try! 😎
Estamos en el2023, no En los años 90s
Hola, ven conmigo
Soy un joven mexicano y le entendí sin tener que pensarlo, wow es que es increíble, cuando le pones tanto empeño a un idioma, y al final notas el esfuerzo que te ha tomado aprender.
Bueno, nos hicieron quedar mejor de lo que pensé
No sé si reir o llorar xd
@@Kate-sv8pt No lo hicieron tan mal, además la parte de saber el nombre de objetos en particular si fue difícil jajaj
These colombian guys did it right. Congrats to them. They've got a good level of English, in general, its quite fluent. It amazed me. 👏
so far, their english better than me haha, regardless of their pronounciation and grammar mistake, native english speakers still able to understand them, context is everything in conversation
I am so excited that you visited us, Colombia is a charming country and Medellín one of the most beautiful cities in the country. And that you were there is great, you were very kind to the people. The best teacher of all. But I think that ... I think that the level of English in Colombia is not very high because of the way it is taught in the country's schools... but now we have more possibilities with Internet sources. Like, for example, your RUclips channel. I hope you continue visiting us, see you later in another city 😅
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I had a wonderful time in medellin and the students were great! 😊
@@InstantEnglishUK come again plz 🥺
Wow, this is a useful video! I am glad to know that you are visiting Colombia. I learned English 9 years ago in an institute called Colombo Americano in Medellin. I had a great experience because I did not only learn English, but I felt like I was visiting the U.S.A due to the way the Institute was built, also the teachers taught us the culture of that country, for example the Black month history, among others. Now I wish to visit the city again to continue practicing English while I meet new people from all over the world and also learning more of their cultures. Greetings! ;)
Thanks for doing this incredible video, greetings from Medellín, Colombia 🇨🇴
Thanks for having me
Up that English with a Colombian accent😅😂
Its a very great content for all users I really appreciate your talent joined with a lot of work thank you so much keep uploading more videos like these🎉
The thing is that in the past knowing a language here was only a rich thing. however, nowadays it is getting more common and accessible for everyone, and there are also a lot of resources out there with the internet and different programs
It is not a chair, it is an arm chair. So they taught us at school
School doesn't teach you how a native speaker would say it. A native speaker would just say chair
@@AfroKing. As a native English speaker (USA), I would call that an armchair. Specifically the one that he showed that looks like a mix between a couch and a chair. But, I would understand chair. It's just if I wasn't looking at it and you said chair I wouldn't picture it looking like that unless you explained it's in your living room or something. I would even understand it if they said couch/sofa like most did in the video, but chair is definitely better, and armchair is perfect.
@Yamanan. How old are you, though? I don't know anyone my age that says armchair. We just say chair. I hear older people say it, though. Yes I'm from America as well.
26. If I was in the room I'd say chair, but if someone said armchair I'd know exactly which type of chair they meant. It was interesting in the video because I actually thought shoes when he showed the sneakers. So I went less specific for those but I guess everyone has their own preferred words. @@AfroKing.
@@Yamanan.I agree with you :)
Awesome video! unfortunatelly here in Colombia our educational system is not really good when teaching english, we have to do our best to learn by ourselves, eather way by doing a courses or watching videos/movies or regular things in english. However I would say that you can find the best english speakers in Bogota.
Totalmente cierto
Perhaps it would be adequate to consult the available data before mention Colombian education is not good regarding English level, you have to take into account the relevant aspect of autonomous learning each pupil must carry on by themselves to reinforce what it has been taught in class; English teachers do not make miracles...
I don’t think so. I am from Barranquilla and got my degree in Bogota in 2017 . There are a lot of people with a decent - I would say intermediate level - it’s not enough though.
I started to watch your videos today, and i loved it. I'm from Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you!
I love this so funny English test, it made me bear in mind when I watched this video.
Brilliant!
Hello i'm from Mozambique and i think that i so good to see you helping people in order to understand well english, keep to make videos like this, thank you 🙏🏾

Hi! I would love to visit this country full of good-looking people-WOW! It's amazing, and I hope I get the chance to practice my English with them. It's just a 16-hour flight from where I live.
It was very nice to see you in my country 🇨🇴, from yours🏴 in Oxford
Wow ,so nice to see you in my country 🇨🇴 and my city, Medellín!
I think they do a great job because it is not always easy to pronounce some words and speak fluent.
Greetings from Medellín!
What a lovely city!

Parce, gracias por visitarnos, nuestro país es tu casa. Un fuerte abrazo a mis hermanos de Latam y del mundo. Saludos.
As a mexican student, learn english is so atractivo to me, because i love learn some other languages, i consider myself speak english in a level B2. Its fantastic see another people practice their english and im so proud because Colombia, one of the prettiest countrys in latinoamérica have a Good level of english, we have learn other langueges no one knows when needs some one lenguaje in especific.
The latinos are changing the world
Very good training 😊
me siento muy feliz porque creia que mi ingles era pobre pero me doy cuenta que no estoy tan mal con el idioma, estos chicos me subieron el animo ;)
X2
Eso que quiso decir? Qué eres mejor, o que estás igual?
I leraned a lot words with this video❤❤ thank you
I’m so happy to hear that!
interesting video!
Actually, we struggle with this language but there are many ways to improve and reach a good level
we don't say "sneakers"...well it depends where you live. In Chicago it's "shoes or gym shoes"
So you call these 👞 and these 👟 shoes? I would have excepted gym shoes or tennis shoes, but simply shoes no
Everyone says sneakers
It’s so nice!
My mate is visiting Colombia....I never thought this was going to happen!!!! Greetings from Cali- Valle .....
I got all the questions right 😊my heart was exploding when the lady couldn't answer the questions🤯I wanted to come there and answer her instead😁
She's learning the basics, we all went through that. But she was brave enough to accept the challenge, thus I'm certain soon enough she'll be able to improve her level.
She was very brave
@@klopf8 I didn't mean to criticize him. I was just saying that I was a little impatient. I hope everything will be fine for him 🥺💜
@@InstantEnglishUK I really liked his courage👍🏻💜
@@JeonAdelfor her, and her courage** nobody is perfect ig
Thanks Chris , in Lima Miraflores ( Parque Salazar) waiting Paddington Bear sure the original in Paddington Station in London ( selfie Good Luck)

Hi Chris, great to have you in Medellín! Would have loved to get to see you in person. Hope you have a blast, mate.
I did indeed! Thanks for the lovely welcome
in northern Chinese, we call a ladybug a 'floral big sister'. Weirdly enough, English has a very similar expression. 🤣
In colombia, we call that animal mariquita, in spanish, which is a way to say little gay man. Xdxd. So funny.
🤣@@David-qy2fd
我一个北京的朋友也是这么叫的🤣
Im proud of my folk colombian, very much are trying ti learn english equals of me
yeah I am from colombia, greetings
I am so enjoyed this video.I invite to you come to Uzbekistan.❤
Time to come to Cartagena, my bro
Y te hare un reto de Español desde ahí
Dude you look so kind
Thanks
@@InstantEnglishUK np
@@InstantEnglishUK I’ll give you a follow now 😂
This was a fun video. The reason they call a Ferris wheel a “wheel of fortune” is because in Latin American Spanish, it’s called “rueda de la fortuna”. In Spain it’s called “noria”.
Amazing this English
very interesting
Questions are very easy :)) I will be glad when you come Turkiye Sir .:)
All these are easy for me.. greetings from Malaysia
İ llove Columbia,people seem to be sociable, friendly.
By the time insaw this video,I hadn't thought to travel to Columbia..
After seeing, inrhink i will.
Colombian coffee of course… @instantEnglishUK I like your eyes
very much .. thanks 🙏 for your
Video
As an American, the word shoe is perfectly acceptable and quite oftened used in place of sneaker. They were correct by our expectations.
Most of them speak really well! Creo que vamos por buen camino en las universidades. 😅
I agree ☝️
03:03 Tranqui, a veces uno confunde sneakers con Skechers
Wait, you were in my country!😍
Welcome here
Thank you!
Yeah well things are changing quickly tbh! I just came back from London after been there for over 12 years. And I can tell u that there’s many people that actually speak English! In the recent years Medellin has been a good spot for tourist and also many foreign companies are coming to invest here! so people is more interested in learn another language!
Nice jersey btw mate 👌🏽
Great you were in my country!!! I love your videos and I've learned a lot... But tell us your opinion...
Actually I'm ashamed of our level😔
They did great!!!
Nah I want to do this hahaha, come to Bogotá, Colombia for part 2
At 9:11 when he says "we stole a few words", I've thought "like the Brittish Museum".
But well, nice video. You can go to Andalusia and see if Andalusian people can speak English. Cities like Seville, Cadiz or Malaga would be great.
Love the relaxed approach to your vids, but do you do your own subtitles? There are a few mistakes in them here and there, which for an English teaching/learning channel is kind of a no-no, right...? ;)
I do my own subtitles but they auto generated, after I go through them to correct any mistakes. Sorry if I missed anything and thanks for letting me know
Wow a difficult situation 😂
Globally English is the commercial+bussines language,in Asian countries almost all.of them After their Officiall languahes ENGLISH is always the second language (Saudiarabia/Qatar/yemen/oman/UAE/singapore/malysia/vietnam/China/japan/thailand/philipines/myamar and many other coutries ENGLISH is the language of global conversation/European union when coming to gather they use ENGLISH
Wow nice 😅
Love that British accent it’s kinda hot, I’m from Colombia but greetings from Australia 🇦🇺.
Well they speak better English than I do Spanish so well done 👏
What kind of teacher is that man😂
Me?
It was so funny and interesting
Thank you
Techer its a iterestet lesson! I'm indegenous, i speak my dilect; but i have been seing even can cumucate the leanguage like have to memorize the difarent tings name. Tanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, bro come to Tajikistan people in Dushanbe they're really interested in learning English.
I knew all of the vocab words in Spanish let’s goooooo
Wow. Did u travel to Colombia? 😮
1:19 practise=practice but cool video!
I remember the chandelier from the sia sing. Ohhhh, I am gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier.
Are you saying Webster is wrong?
Funny video :)
U have to come to cartagena! BTW.. I always thought Mischievous was more stressed on the |chi" part
/ˈmɪs.tʃɪ.vəs/
I can’t speak for the UK, but here in America there’s a nonstandard pronunciation and variation in spelling of mischievous as “mischievious.” Although incorrect, many people including former US president Herbert Hoover on record, pronounce it this way with 4 syllables and stress on the “chi” like this: mis-chē-vē-es. You may hear this pronunciation in American media which could cause confusion.
Quite interesting, thanks for sharing that.
is it valid say sentimental? I mean, I would have said sensitive. 14:02
Thanks for these kind of videos :) really useful to impprove vocabulary
I really hope you come to Lima, too......
Me too
They did great really…… These kind of vidoes are funny and enjoyable,it’s been few days since I found this channel and really it’s great we are waiting so many more vidoes in different countries…
Love your vidoes man glad to found this channel.
~from somaliland ❤
Thank you, so glad you got the idea of the video. I just want to make learning English fun 🤩
Hey, You should have visited Bogotá.
I'm from the US and have always heard tennis shoes here not sneakers. Must be a regional thing
If they had said tennis shoes, I would have accepted, but for me, shoes by themselves are 👞
Yes it’s regional. From my understanding “sneakers” is an up north thing. Most of the country says “tennis shoes” and then there a certain areas in the Midwest like Chicago that say “gym shoes.”
The first thing that comes to my mind when I listen "Colombia", is Shakira. ❤❤❤
Really? I thought she was from Brasil
@@bambinaforever1402 Shakira was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, and she mentions her city in Hips Don't Lie.
Colombians are really nice.
