The girl at 2:10 wearing the light blue sweater saying "let's have a cup of tea and watch the telly", that was actually unbelievably good. Even down to the intonation, very well done.
"One thing they haven't made cooler..." "Cool" being slang for awesome is from the USA. Bro is using American slang unironically while trashing American English.
@@InstantEnglishUK Because the UK added their extra "U" sound to so many words, if your English was considered real English, consider it disqualified lol.
As a french person, I found this interresting. When we speak english, we used to mix up both british english and american english. I prefer american english accent, it's much easier to understand
Bonjour, Ça dépend pour qui, perso je comprends les 2 mais j'ai préférence très nette pour les accents britanniques. Mais c'est un fait incontestable que nous sommes beaucoup plus exposés à l'anglais américain, même les britanniques subissent cette influence.
I think it has to do with how we fully express some letters that British people don't. (i.e. Americans pronounce party (la teuf) as "Par-tee", while lots of British say "Pah-tee"). When you fully express all the sounds as they're written, it's easier for a foreigner to understand as they learn. Same reason why as a learner of French I have a better time of understanding French from France instead of whatever gobbledygook they speak in Quebec.
I like it very much because you are not intentionally dumbing people down, and showing genuine responses. One thing, as an Irish person... ouch, no one got it right, there IS a difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland when it comes to the UK.
Yes, yes, in retrospect, of course everybody realized that in the end. But since we have no idea where either country even is, everybody is just "Irish" in the United States.
@@juliangael1409 the island of Ireland has 32 counties on it. 6 counties are in a political jurisdiction (country) called Northern Ireland. This part of the island of Ireland is part of the UK. The other 26 counties on the island of Ireland is another country called Ireland, (also called the Republic of Ireland). It is not part of the UK. The UK comprises 4 constituent countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland uses the pound sterling as its currency, and Ireland uses the Euro. Northern Ireland, as it is part of the UK, is not in the EU. Ireland is. Northern Irish people can use the UK passport, or the Irish passport, depending on their identity, (A very long explanation for this, no need to go into this here) and Irish people like myself can only use the Irish passport. As we are not part of the UK, we are not entitled to the UK passport. Two different countries, Like Americans are not entitled to a Canadian passport. Hope this helps.
When people talk of British accent they're usually referring to English Received Pronunciation. Welsh, Scots, and Northern Irish people typically have a very different sound when speaking English, as do many from regions different regions of England.

The textbooks had drawings of London, red double-decker buses, a Big Ben, and the flag of Great Britain.

And from what we know of the countries, our opinion on Northern Ireland is pretty different from North Korea, which is another example of a country being split in two. We definitely do make the difference between north and south here. 😂 But the two Irelands seem chill af, so we generally don't see the difference between them and use Ireland indifferently without realizing it may be offensive or incorrect, actually.
I'm from Northern Ireland lol - it all started about 400 years ago or something when the English invaded Ireland. Now the two countries are divided. Protestant and Catholic views separate the two countries. Every 12th of July in Northern Ireland there's a huge celebration to celebrate King William of Orange or something - to celebrate his victory over the Catholics. I don't really care about it lol. Have you heard of Belfast before? Well, East & South Belfast are protestant and North & West belfast are catholic - so theres a bit of fighting. However, the one cool like about being Northern Irish is that we have 3 nationalities. I can choose whether to be British, Northern Irish or Irish and it will still be valid lol.
@@Capyrate Due to colonialism, currently there are 6 counties of Northern Ireland that are part of the country named the United Kingdom. The rest of Ireland is the country of Ireland. The independent republic in the EU.
As an American, I agree. There are some British accent I cannot understand. But then again, I can’t understand half the Southern United States when they speak.
As I am new in the English language and I live in a country where only Spanish is spoken, I am happy with myself because I was able to understand the whole video. I also love the fun method you use to help people to learn the language. Greetings from Colombia! ;)
I just finished watching a documentary centered around events in the Yorkshire area (Bradford, Leeds, etc) and something that jumped out at me is that those folks substitute “were” where yanks say “was”, so when I go back to work, I’m going to start using that when I talk to my former RAF co-workers.
I watch so much stuff that takes place in and around Yorkshire that I often say were instead of was (and I'm American). Check out Happy Valley... some of the best TV out there! Side note, Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) is from up north and sang Coldplay's "Yellow" for a charity album. She has such a thick accent normally that people were joking it wasn't her singing because she should have sung, "... and it were all yellow..." Which is how I sing it when I hear it, now.
i never thought americans couldnt read basic sentences in british english, that literally made me shocked or perhaps they just tried to imitate the accent and as a turkish i almost never have tried to divide them in 2 different languages but now i see its not like that for americans
Excelent and interesting video bro... ps: this is my first time watching a video in english without subtittles and i am so happy for that... Sometimes i can make mistakes, but i think is part of the experience... Obviously i need to improve my english
As an English learner myself, I much prefer American English because it's much easier to understand and most of all, it's everywhere in the world such as IT, media, entertainment, music, sports, social media, and so on.
I from Russia and... Yeah, we learning British English and understanding American too. I'm 15 years old and I ( not so cool, like my classmates ) understand the structure of English sentences. Your content is very good, I like it. So I didn't use the translator, when written all of that. ( Don't remember, V3(written) or V2(wrote) there must to be ) Бмять фуйню какую-то начеркал... Не кидайтесь камнями)
the rest of the world used to beleive that english language belong to the American people instead of England, so much respect the way you create this bro, from Madagascar
Such a nice video. Very interesting, entertaining and informative at the same time. I really enjoyed and had fun! 🥰👍. Amanda was best of all. Thanks for sharing it.
As a Spaniard I do understand pavement and sidewalk, rubbish and trash... for me, every word variation is just another example of English. I also use Mexican or Argentinian words when speaking Spanish. I think this behavior has something to do with how open minded someone is. I also prefer to discuss things that we all have in common, as to point out our differences. We all have to eat, sleep, work and take care of our loved ones, so it doesn´t matter what country you were born in. It just makes things be easier or harder, but at the end we all will overcome some day... hey, you guys from the video, you all were just amazing...!
The Massachusetts lady was honestly seriously impressive, I rarely hear anyone replicate an English accent that sounds natural, but she sounded like someone from the the South pretty much exactly
Well, apartment is a more common word throughout the world. Spanish - apartamento Portuguese - apartamento Italian - appartamento French - appartement Romanian - apartament Korean - 아파트 (apatu) Japanese - アパート(apatu) American - apartment British - "you are all wrong!"
im 11 years old and im vietnamese, i speak english but both british and american and i understand them all (even though the prouniciation on them is different). Amanda she nailed it
Australians are goated because we take the American AND English terms for things, and use them both to more specifically convey what we’re talking about even further. For example, “Pavement” to us, means the actual ground a sidewalk or pedestrian-walk is made of. But the “Sidewalk” is its own specific structure on the side of the road, that is home to the pavement. Another example is how we use the term “Flat” or “Unit” usually to describe more affordable/smaller housing within a building. Whereas an “Apartment” is usually used to describe a larger/more expensive housing situation within a building.
Hahaha my mom is British and came to the states when she was 17 and my father is American...and this video sounded so much like the banter I heard between them all throughout my childhood.
It was really amazing, I really loved it, well most of my friends speak or follow American English , but I personally feel proud with British English and prefer not to use American while speaking and writing . My favorite accent is "Northern " , not getting myself into "London accent "
@@minimongo9560 i do actually have an idea, I live in Danmark and it often gets mixed up with the other scandinavian countries. I dont get angry when people get it wrong so long as they made an effort. Getting offended over smal things like that is just folly
I don't know. It's a bit extreme between sounding like a member of the Royal Family or like a cockney. a neutral accent is somewhere inbetween. Also there are so many accents in the UK that don't sound like this at all - Birmingham, Newcastle, Lancashire, West Country, Yorkshire, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish - just loads. They did very well with the slang though.
I love American accent because of its rhotic sound and it makes me satisfied when they said water, circular, singer, car, peter, roar, mother, father, layer, better etc and it is so feeling like incomplete when it is said ca, motha, fatha , sista, laya, betta ( my problem, not judging). I love British accent also especially Hermione ( Emma Watson ) I could hear all day
Here in Texas, we always end with a hard r sound, unlike in Boston, Massachusetts where they end with a soft r. So, you can’t say it’s true for all American English. There are definitely regional differences within the USA. There are definitely regional differences in the UK!
This was so cool 'n' funny. Just loved it. Couldn't help imaging doing this with other languages like German spoken in Germany 'n' the one spoken in Austria, Portuguese from Portugal 'n' from Brazil 'n' last but not least French spoken in Canada 'n' the one spoken in France...eheheh
American pronunciation and spellings tend to be more true to the original Germanic roots of the words. British English tends to be more informed by the French spellings because of the Norman invasion. So American English is technically the closest thing to original English that we have today.
@@Tony-lj5lr I know. I didn’t mention Noah Webster or any other influence on American English that would have made it different from British dialect because I figured most people that read my comment would be able to figure things out by context clues and basic logic because they don’t lack brain cells and possess an extra pair of chromosomes like you.
English is a unique combination of Germanic (actually Scandinavian) and French that was formed in England, hence the word English. English is not German - it is a fusion language and American is certainly not closer to it’s original manifestation
@@loveroflife1914, both American and English accents are a modern invention, but the closest to that of several hundreds of years ago is English, regional accents like those in the West Country and those in the North
I'm not an English speaker but even I liked it. It was fun, great video. The questions were interesting, maybe only question about UK Countries was pretty easy.

Every 12th of July in Northern Ireland there's a huge celebration to celebrate King William of Orange or something - to celebrate his victory over the Catholics. I don't really care about it lol. Have you heard of Belfast before? Well, East & South Belfast are protestant and North & West belfast are catholic - so theres a bit of fighting. However, the one cool like about being Northern Irish is that we have 3 nationalities. I can choose whether to be British, Northern Irish or Irish and it will still be valid lol.
Hi
Hopefully some day there will only be three countries in the UK (and after that, hopefully eventually 2)
@@Capyrate Due to colonialism, currently there are 6 counties of Northern Ireland that are part of the country named the United Kingdom. The rest of Ireland is the country of Ireland. The independent republic in the EU.
Amanda from NY nailed it.👏👏. Daniel is HILARIOUS!!
I think she lied she's from NY. She sounds absolutely British
She was doing a northern accent at one point 😅
As non English speaker, I like American pronunciation a lot more than British one. As for me, It's easier to understand.
Probably !

As an American, I agree. There are some British accent I cannot understand. But then again, I can’t understand half the Southern United States when they speak.
@@notadaytrader... then you can understand what we, foreigners, feel 😂😂😂
As I am new in the English language and I live in a country where only Spanish is spoken, I am happy with myself because I was able to understand the whole video. I also love the fun method you use to help people to learn the language. Greetings from Colombia! ;)
Go You!! Always keep learning
The guy from Tyler NEEDS his own show!!!! He's hilarious and really genuine! 😂
What’s really funny is how that guy has started singing Mendelssohn’s wedding march
True
I just finished watching a documentary centered around events in the Yorkshire area (Bradford, Leeds, etc) and something that jumped out at me is that those folks substitute “were” where yanks say “was”, so when I go back to work, I’m going to start using that when I talk to my former RAF co-workers.
I watch so much stuff that takes place in and around Yorkshire that I often say were instead of was (and I'm American). Check out Happy Valley... some of the best TV out there! Side note, Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) is from up north and sang Coldplay's "Yellow" for a charity album. She has such a thick accent normally that people were joking it wasn't her singing because she should have sung, "... and it were all yellow..." Which is how I sing it when I hear it, now.
@@EricaGamet🤫
'Were' is the subjunctive of 'was' and is correctly used after the use of a conditional verb. For example, one would say "If I were you".
i never thought americans couldnt read basic sentences in british english, that literally made me shocked or perhaps they just tried to imitate the accent and as a turkish i almost never have tried to divide them in 2 different languages but now i see its not like that for americans
So you think a few people who are probably uncomfortable on camera got nervous and read wrong represents the entire country?
The USA and the UK are two entirely different cultures. The language has taken two different paths accordingly.
@@loganflatt It's the same language and the same culture with minor differences.
@@caramia4789 lol the differences are huge, not minor
@@loganflatt an example please...
Your channel is fun for learners of English like me, it's not boring, not too academic. It makes me feel study more fun, relax and also learn vocab
Excelent and interesting video bro... ps: this is my first time watching a video in english without subtittles and i am so happy for that... Sometimes i can make mistakes, but i think is part of the experience... Obviously i need to improve my english
BEST GOOD LUCK YOU GOT THIS!!
The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well
As an English learner myself, I much prefer American English
because it's much easier to understand and most of all, it's
everywhere in the world such as IT, media, entertainment,
music, sports, social media, and so on.
Yes i was thinking the same, it's much easier to learn american accent more than british accent however british accent sounds so cool
@@davvysa6504it's not easier really, you're just accustommed tonit
@@unacuentadeyoutube13that’s why it’s easier…
I from Russia and... Yeah, we learning British English and understanding American too. I'm 15 years old and I ( not so cool, like my classmates ) understand the structure of English sentences. Your content is very good, I like it. So I didn't use the translator, when written all of that. ( Don't remember, V3(written) or V2(wrote) there must to be )

Lovely video. I think they all did a bloody good job, especially Amanda and Emma.
the rest of the world used to beleive that english language belong to the American people instead of England, so much respect the way you create this bro, from Madagascar
Awesome!!!!
Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
Love the interviewees. Good selection. Those are good questions but they make it so fun to watch. 😂
Thank you so much!
Daniel goes in character ahah i love it - amazing job from Amanda and Emma, yay!
Such a nice video. Very interesting, entertaining and informative at the same time. I really enjoyed and had fun! 🥰👍. Amanda was best of all. Thanks for sharing it.
She was!
Daniel is very expressive, he should make a channel.
As a Spaniard I do understand pavement and sidewalk, rubbish and trash... for me, every word variation is just another example of English. I also use Mexican or Argentinian words when speaking Spanish. I think this behavior has something to do with how open minded someone is. I also prefer to discuss things that we all have in common, as to point out our differences. We all have to eat, sleep, work and take care of our loved ones, so it doesn´t matter what country you were born in. It just makes things be easier or harder, but at the end we all will overcome some day... hey, you guys from the video, you all were just amazing...!
That curly haired guy was hysterical
He was!
You can say that again! 😂😂😂
- where’re u from?
- I’m from Tyler
😂😂😂
I'm from Algeria
Tyler, Texas
You'll be forever my inspiration for speak English, Chris. ❤❤❤
These 4 people nailed it. How many did you edit out?
The Massachusetts lady was honestly seriously impressive, I rarely hear anyone replicate an English accent that sounds natural, but she sounded like someone from the the South pretty much exactly
I’m Mexican and British English it’s always my way to go, I don’t know why, but it’s clearer to me.
Cheers mates!
lie
As a foreginer American english is best for me it is easy to speak and it is understandble around the world
British English is understood in more English speaking countries.
Kid from Tyler definitely got some British decent, he's got the particular eccentricity I've seen so much before.
You chose the perfect people to interview, they were all so great.
7:38 he’s so cuuuuuuuuute!!!!
He is born to be an actor! I replayed his segment many times🥰
Men with double chins? Cute? Okay.
@@jasonhaven7170it’s his personality that was sweet, he seemed like a nice guy. Don’t be such a hater.😂
@@Swttng780 Maybe stop eating so much
Well, apartment is a more common word throughout the world.
Spanish - apartamento
Portuguese - apartamento
Italian - appartamento
French - appartement
Romanian - apartament
Korean - 아파트 (apatu)
Japanese - アパート(apatu)
American - apartment
British - "you are all wrong!"
Maybe because in Britain the first apartments were all on one floor, so they were "flat", as opposed to a larger house or building?
Now Daniel was off his trolley 😂😂😂
im 11 years old and im vietnamese, i speak english but both british and american and i understand them all (even though the prouniciation on them is different). Amanda she nailed it
Australians are goated because we take the American AND English terms for things, and use them both to more specifically convey what we’re talking about even further.
For example, “Pavement” to us, means the actual ground a sidewalk or pedestrian-walk is made of.
But the “Sidewalk” is its own specific structure on the side of the road, that is home to the pavement.
Another example is how we use the term “Flat” or “Unit” usually to describe more affordable/smaller housing within a building.
Whereas an “Apartment” is usually used to describe a larger/more expensive housing situation within a building.
In NSW its definitely "the footpath"
Also "pavement" may also indicate the surface of the road itself if it is not constructed in bitumen.
At my school (in 1840 ha) the "pavement" indicated any non grassed areas in the school playground.
Hahaha my mom is British and came to the states when she was 17 and my father is American...and this video sounded so much like the banter I heard between them all throughout my childhood.
It was really amazing, I really loved it, well most of my friends speak or follow American English , but I personally feel proud with British English and prefer not to use American while speaking and writing . My favorite accent is "Northern " , not getting myself into "London accent "
2:11 nailed it
Yup, that was generic southern English.
Enjoyed watching!!🤓🤓
Thank you!
Ha, the way you joined in on the melody of "here comes the bride" 😅
This was refreshing. No insults at least not serious ones. just folks having a good time. Worst part was it had to end.
And after all some people keep saying that “English is a super easy language”??! Thank you for the smashingly funny video! 🤓🤩
Thank you for the lovely comment
it is tought jsj
bro said northern ireland and ireland are the same thing lmaoooo
He didn’t, he gave the people a pass because he thought it was close enough and j agree
He’s English. What do you expect. I mean look at the national anthem question.
@@rednaxela7875 You have no idea how offensive that is lol, its like saying the welsh and english are the same
@@minimongo9560 i do actually have an idea, I live in Danmark and it often gets mixed up with the other scandinavian countries. I dont get angry when people get it wrong so long as they made an effort. Getting offended over smal things like that is just folly
@@rednaxela7875 Except the fact their wasn't a very violent war waged over that very take lmao, i'd read into it if I were you
I'm from Taiwan,and this is my first time to know that British English and American English are so different.😮
Actually it should be only British English
both british and american english
today american english rules the roost due to us movies, tv series etc@@nisbea80
@@nisbea80 What do you mean?
I don't know. It's a bit extreme between sounding like a member of the Royal Family or like a cockney. a neutral accent is somewhere inbetween. Also there are so many accents in the UK that don't sound like this at all - Birmingham, Newcastle, Lancashire, West Country, Yorkshire, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish - just loads. They did very well with the slang though.
By the way, that double decker bus going by was a nice touch 😄
Lol, I probably would have done horribly on the accent part, but the vocabulary/pop quiz given was pretty easy
This video put a smile on my face ... so cute
I’m so glad to hear that mate
As a central Asian girl, I relatively found most of the questions easily 😁
Brilliant!
What a splendid time for both the participants and the audience!
Your videos are AMAZING!!! Thank you
I love American accent because of its rhotic sound and it makes me satisfied when they said water, circular, singer, car, peter, roar, mother, father, layer, better etc and it is so feeling like incomplete when it is said ca, motha, fatha , sista, laya, betta ( my problem, not judging). I love British accent also especially Hermione ( Emma Watson ) I could hear all day
Fair enough man! 😎😁
You may be interested to know that some parts of Britain have a rhotic accent.
Here in Texas, we always end with a hard r sound, unlike in Boston, Massachusetts where they end with a soft r. So, you can’t say it’s true for all American English. There are definitely regional differences within the USA. There are definitely regional differences in the UK!
This was so cool 'n' funny. Just loved it. Couldn't help imaging doing this with other languages like German spoken in Germany 'n' the one spoken in Austria, Portuguese from Portugal 'n' from Brazil 'n' last but not least French spoken in Canada 'n' the one spoken in France...eheheh
Haha it would be great
El español de España y que se habla en América latina , hey en Haití también se habla Francés
American pronunciation and spellings tend to be more true to the original Germanic roots of the words. British English tends to be more informed by the French spellings because of the Norman invasion.
So American English is technically the closest thing to original English that we have today.
norman invasion happened centuries before america was even established dude.
@@Tony-lj5lr I know. I didn’t mention Noah Webster or any other influence on American English that would have made it different from British dialect because I figured most people that read my comment would be able to figure things out by context clues and basic logic because they don’t lack brain cells and possess an extra pair of chromosomes like you.
Also, the modern British accent is, well, a modern invention.
English is a unique combination of Germanic (actually Scandinavian) and French that was formed in England, hence the word English. English is not German - it is a fusion language and American is certainly not closer to it’s original manifestation
@@loveroflife1914, both American and English accents are a modern invention, but the closest to that of several hundreds of years ago is English, regional accents like those in the West Country and those in the North
That curly headed guy was hilarious
6:21 “what’s a twink? Is it a chocolate bar?” 😂
I'm not an English speaker but even I liked it. It was fun, great video. The questions were interesting, maybe only question about UK Countries was pretty easy.
The ladies did very well
We need more this kind of videos🎉
Next one is this Saturday
Love it. Love everything about this video. It smashes!
What a fantastic video! I loved them all! :)
