    Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well (or even an English accent at all!)... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP and want to speak it clearly.

    Thanks for watching! Just thought I’d mention that “naff” can also mean something is a bit distasteful or unfashionable (eg. Ugly trousers you see in a shop). See you next week! 🤓

    Those are really British words. The greeting at the begging of the video was:
    "You know, oh, it's a funny thing, you know?"
    Bloody - 'Curse word' - something bad happens or to emphasize
    Scrap - Physical fight with somebody
    Row - vocal/verbal argument with somebody
    Cuppa - To have a Cup of tea - you fancy a cuppa? or a 'cuppa of beer' (more accurate example LOL)
    Snog - Passionately kiss someone (make out in American)
    Naff - Not very good (a bit rubbish)
    Knickers- The lower half of ladies underwear (weird often British expression, I wonder why?) Could you give us an example of daily chatting?
    Fluke - to do it by luck
    Chuffed - really happy and pleased with yourself
    Thanks a lot, Elliot. Excellent lesson.

    After scrapping and rowing, some snogging would be chuffing. But sometimes, if there is no fluke, it turns into being naffing. Eventually, better to have a cuppa ! 😜 Stay safe 🇮🇹🍀🇬🇧
