I'm french and I just realised that when I speak english I mix all of these.. I guess teachers at school in France just didn't tell us the differences between cultures, that's too bad! Very interesting video
yes, same here to bad.
@@teresaantonio5867I agree with you ! I live in Québec ( a french province of Canada ) I suppose I have learned canadian english at school but I love the british accent ! I wish I'll have the opportunity to go visit England one day...I wish to go to USA and Australia also ! I'm happy to listen to these videos today. Thank you Lucy ! Have a great day everybody !
Il fut un temps où l'anglais enseigné en France était British, depuis le l'avènement à grande échelle des séries américaines et le fait que les étudiants en langue anglaise ne choisissent plus principalement la Grande Bretagne pour leurs études nous avons de plus en plus un anglais scolaire moins homogène.
Par contre ce qui me frappe c'est le nombre de mots français ou ayant une base française c'est hallucinant 😮
same
Yes. I was taught the same way. Years later I started learning about the difference and chose BrE
I'm American and have been all over the states and I have never heard a store that only sells alcohol called a ABC Store. This type of store is called a liquor store lol. Also what Vanessa calls a tractor trailer is a semi truck or just semi for short. I agree with you Lucy on the woods vs forest! Lastly, in America a duvet is a type of comforter that has a removable cover. So interesting how English is different around the world!
Some states sell alcohol only through an ABC Store. Note that she is from North Carolina (where it's controlled by the ABC).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_beverage_control_state
@@PaulErlyWe sell them through both but the ABC stores tend to have lower prices
In my state, Pennsylvania, we used to call them "State Stores." Now, it's mostly The liquor store. I agree with you, Kate on ABC Stores. Though I did see ABC initialed stores when I lived in Florida. They were called ABC Wine and Liquors.

Cannot resist telling this story, I was talking with a British friend while driving down the George Washington Memorial Parkway, she said. "I never could understand why Americans drive on a parkway and park on a driveway." She was spot on.
A dooner in Australia is - called Doona because it is usually a simple quilt or cotton bag that is filled with goose or duck down (the soft feathers) - down became doon - 'dooner' & then placed into a removable cotton casing. U put it straight onto your bed with just an undersheet & your pillow. No blankets, nothing else. A comforter is usually a quilt that can also be filled with down but it tends to have quilted stitching on it & doesn't get a cover placed over it & is used as a top bedspread.
Americans: spider

Learned some British English when I grew up…every time when I want to say “side walk”, pavement came into my head but then when the word is at my mouth, it feels weird and I always second guess. Some other good ones: rubber/ eraser, torch/ flash light, trash/ garbage.
Biscute was a good one. Took time to absorb that.
Hey, i'm Peter but I'm French. I really loved that one. I tell my students to feel comfortable with any of these words because we can't reach perfection. As long as you try, that's ok. That's interesting how you manage to make it cool and not boring.

In america, a duvet also refers to the outside blanket casing of a feather blanket. Kind of like a very large pillow case for a feather blanket. Its enclosed on three sides and has buttons, zipper or straps on the fourth side.
Dovet is the one where you have a cover and internals that can be separated. A comforter is one that can't be seperated.

In the Southern U.S. (further south than North Carolina 🤣🤣), what Vanessa referred to as an ABC store, we call a liquor store, or in “legalese,” a package store (referring to boxed cases (package of beer (and also kegs), as opposed to individual bottles or glasses of beer, like served in a bar (which would require a bottle/pouring license)).
11:33 as an american we would say either the supermarket but mostly the grocery store, or for short, the store

Yesss!! when the picture came out I said "living room" 🤣🤣🤣
I said the exact same thing aswell 😂😂😂😂
For a non native speaker like me, American english is a lot easier to understand. British english is indeed beautiful in its own way.
I bet it's because what we're more used to hear (games, movies, music, series, etc.)
For me it's the opposite.
I can't agree with you. As a foreigner who has always had British teachers or travelled very often to Britain, American accent has always sound less familiar to me. I can't say I don't understand Americans, but it's just a question of ... practice. I try to train my ear to different accents as much as I can.
So, thanks for this video Lucy!
For me it is totally the other way around. It could be because I am currently living in the UK. In all/any ways, the words(vocabularies) can be understood from the context itself; some times LOL 😁. Just pretend like you are elaborating more on the meaning hence you can guess the right definition of it without being awkward or old-fashioned wo-/man.
British is the best for tv shows and movies but American English is the best! Also here in America they have said that USA English is the better one
American here. I would call any comforter meant for use with a cover and no top sheet, a duvet, but something used over a top sheet, and without a cover, that is not a blanket or a quilt, I would refer to it as a comforter. Duvet also implies that it is either filled with down or a synthetic material that mimics down - something poofy, with loft to it. We definitely have duvets in the US, and most people who use them (in my experience) call them duvets, or down comforters (with the qualifier). Comforter (without the qualifier) is something with dense filling (no loft), no cover, and not hand quilted. As others have noted we also use the term woods in much of the US, and forest implies a larger wooded area, perhaps a bit wilder. In the seventies and eighties, the terms thongs and flip-flops were definitely interchangeable in the US (I would say favoring thongs), but in the nineties, thong became more associated with the undergarment and fell out of favor to refer to the footwear.
Hi Lucy. Thanks for this video - quite interesting. You seemed surprised by some US or AU words although these were quite easy and common words. Now imagine how suprising/difficult this might be for foreigners who learn UK English and talk to an US/AU person or learn US English and come to Europe.
I'm Polish working in Poland and using English for over 25 years now and I struggled quite a lot when started prefessional cooperation with an US company. Vocab they use for business is totally different from what we use in Europe, like deck (PP presentation), regroup (meet again on the same topic), recap (summary) or copy (description of a product). Maybe this will be helpfull for some of your followers. Cheers!
American: comforter
Australian: Doona
British: duvet
Me: blanket
I've definitely heard of duvet covers - usually a separate piece of material to cover a comforter or "duvet".
Me too I have only heard comforter 3 times in my 11 year life and this is the third time
Haha...But It is Doona..

Me : They’re just slippers..
Fr🧍!! I also say tht..
You from India?
@@hrishikeshp8960 Yes 😎
I’ve heard them called thongs in the US as well. Since the g-string/thong has become more common, flip-flops is most dominant
I’m from the US I also used tongue for flip flops
Flip Flops were called Thongs in the US in the 1980’s when I was a kid. They went out of style for about 15 years and when they made a come back they were generally referred to as Flip Flops
It’s the woods and a forest in the US. The woods I would say is typically more local, while the forest doesn’t imply a specific location within it.

For the duvet/doona/comforter it was also called a quilt in the past (Australia)

Great video, continue👏👏
In addition to the words that Vanessa stated, in the United States (depending on what region), we also use the words: supermarket; duvet; slacks or trousers; pavement (which can be any paved area or surface); and freeway.
Also, I'm American and have never heard anyone say "ABC store". We just call it a "liquor store" in the Midwest United States.
In Pa we call them state stores
ABC store in VA, but only cuz the state regulates all alcohol over 20%- Alcoholic Beverage Control [Authority]. We still call them liquor stores though half the time.

Loo
9:02 as an american we would call this mostly woods, some people would prefer to this as the forest, i would call it either. but when i really think abt it, when i think of a forrest i would think of a more tropical place with animals such as black panther and monkeys living in the forrest. and when we say woods, animals like deer and bears or bunnies would live on the woods
In Queensland we also say Togs for Swimmers. Also a backpack of often called a Port. It's an older word but at most schools kids will store their bags or ports in the port rack.

I am from Washington state in the US so maybe that is the difference… but Vanessa really surprised me. I call it comfort // duvet, I use woods and forest interchangeably, a semi truck and liquor store. I have never heard of an ABC store.
For toilet my father was in the Marines and they call it "the head". So I sometimes say that as well because growing up it was used a lot in my house.

i grew up in NYC. there was no "Forest", but there were certainly a lot of woods. so we all called it "the Woods". maybe people who live in places with more wilderness would call it a forest, if i went out to the mountains, i would definitely call that the Forest. its different
17:55 in america a pavement would be considered what is on the road, like what we drive on is the pavement or concrete
Vanessa : Flip flops
Lucy : Flip flops
Emma : Thongs
Me : Slippers / Chappal
😂😂
chappals
Lol slippers confused my English friend too. What they wear is footwear made of soft material. We call 'peppers' 'capsicum' in India. Since India and Australia were both British territories, I'm pretty sure we got it from the Brits. When I was in school, we learnt both the British English and the American English versions. Now with more English friends it gets really confusing. I can't say pants to mean trousers because it means underwear in England. That one made me laugh like anything.
@@breadzeppelin2705 That also.
OK, I am old enough to remember when these shoes were introduced to the US from Japan after WWII. At that time those were called a lot of different names -
Jap Flaps/Slaps
Go-aheads (as in constant forward motion needed to keep on feet)
sandals
and later/now - flip flops
People need to remember that in the 1950s things made in Japan were thought of as the same level of 'cheapness' that made in China invokes today.

Wellies = Galoshes, Rubber boots.

Thank you, I was looking for it lmao
In Australia we have highways, but if a highway is hundreds apon hundreds of kilometres long, then, we call them motorways
Yeah I was confused when she didn’t say it
15:50
I’m from America, and never in my life have I ever heard the term “ABC Store” referring to a place that only sells alcohol… I’ve always grown up with it being called a “Liquor Store”
Living in the South, where alcohol is heavily regulated, the ABC Store is a specific store, usually in a more rural area and typically the only place to purchase anything stronger than beer or wine.
I'm from Massachusetts. we call it the packie 😂
but I call it the liquor store
@@britneyragsdale4345 I'm southern as well. The ABC is a specific liquor store, in general we call them all just liquor store
@@kayxoh19 also from MA. We love the packie or liquor store.
We do say "Highway" in the UK but it is a general term for all types of road, as it was before the dawn of cars. Our very code for the use of roads is called the "Highway Code". Also Americans say "Freeway" for what we call Motorway, so I'm not sure why your American friend didn't include that.
Duvet has a cover but a comforter doesn't so not the same thing but i had to go looking for why some "comforters" had little loops or snaps or buttons at the corners.
Foot path is for hiking
Freeway is what i grew up calling all highways in California but toll road was used for toll paying roads of all sizes and types so that makes sense in context.

Lucy - Isn't it Off Licence - To license is the verb, but the certificate is a licence - The term off licence means it is outside the alcohol licencing laws, which years ago was very restrictive
i grew up being told the woods is the general term and a forest is huuge and often tropical (i live in the us)
As an American, I agree with Lucy's distinction between "woods" and "forest." I grew up in the southern midwest of the US, and "woods" was probably more common than "forest" for any area with many trees.
Yeah
Edit: OMg I finally got 6 likes
Yep same in the south east

When it comes to liquor stores, US is LIQUOR STORE , UK is OFF LICENCE (not LICENSE) or OFFY, AU is BOTTLE SHOP or BOTTLE-O, ABC Store in New York is a video store connected to ABC-TV
Good luck with pronunciation. I sometimes have put subtitles on when UK programs come on. I am Australian and as I have got older it is harder to understand some UK accents. When I worked in China my secretary had problems because I was Australian from Melbourne our head fitter was from Bristol in the UK and out boss was an American from Oregon - we often had different words for the same thing.
I had a girlfriend who I lived with for four years - a Canadian friend of mine once said "Only in Shenzhen would a diminutive Chinese woman tell you off in perfect Australian but with a slight American accent"

Why's that funny
Swiss Homes have a standard complete Bathroom with everything (small Appartements only have a shower, bc a Bathtub won't fit in). In the recent Decades it became quite fashioned to also have a additional separate little Room with just a Toilet and a Sink, the "Tages-WC" ("Day-Toilet") where often also the Washingmachine/Tumbler is or the Cupboard for cleaning Utensils is located. That's for day use or Guests, so they don't have to go upstairs in the private Family-Bathroom. The "Tages-WC" is mostly located between the Entrance and the Kitchen, conveniently where it's nearest to go to.

I've never heard of an abc store here in the states. We usually just refer to it as "the Liquor Store". Some states tend to have a lot of them, while in other states they typically just go to the grocery to get their alcohol. It depends on the states individual laws.
We absolutely do say "duvet" in the States. Also, we use "grocery store" and "supermarket" pretty much interchangeably. Finally, what Vanessa called a "tractor trailer" would be called more generally by non-truck experts in the US simply as a "truck."
Agree with you about duvet and supermarket. I wouldn't call a tractor trailer a truck though. I would use truck for something smaller like a flatbed or a pickup.

In Australia I have always referred to lorries as being an non articulated flat bed truck. If the truck has a trailer we call it a prime mover and when it has more than two trailers (yes we do have them) it is called a road train.
American:Apartment
Australian:Apartment
British:Flat
Me: living room
Ikr that was a living room 🤣
haha yesss
British people also say apartment (rarely)
Me: apartflat
That was my first thought too when looking at the picture... If she had shown it from the outside though... Here (the Netherlands) some will call a living room in a flat (-building) an appartement though. 😎👍
In the US, if you were to adk, "Where's the nearest ABC Store?" you'd die of thirst before you get an answer. "Liquor Store" is what they're commonly called.
Package store or packie is fairly common too, or at least in the north east.
If someone asked me where an abc store is i'd die of laughter- ;-;
@@alexfalardeau1520 definitely not the case in the northwest. I live in Idaho and havent heard that one before
@@ChickentNug State store or liquor store in the Philadelphia area.
I would tell you to either go to Hawaii or Vegas to go to an ABC store. It's a store chain.
18:29 in america we would say highway, although i have heard of people saying freeway or interstate highway
I worked at a coffee shop in a college (university) town in the US. We had breakfast sandwiches with what we would call biscuits as the bread. But if someone with an other than American accent asked for a biscuit, we knew what they meant.
Being an Indian I'm amused how we've picked words for different things from all these three countries 😆
Yes , it's so true
True

6:39 for someone who is american, that is not called a tractor trailer, that would be called a truck. a tractor trailer is like just a tractor 🚜 when u think of it
I’m an American and I have never heard of ABC store. We call them “liquor stores” where I live.
Or package store in places in the south.
Same
Summer Schilling we say 'RUMSHOP.'
"Alcoholic beverage control (ABC) states, generally called control states, are 17 states in the United States that, as of 2016, have state monopoly over the wholesaling or retailing of some or all categories of alcoholic beverages"...such as distilled spirits / liquors...ergo, an "ABC Store" is often used to refer to the place where this type of alcohol is sold in these States (and this is actually on the sign of the store). But you can buy beer or wine pretty much anywhere (doesn't have to be an ABC store).
Yeah or convienience store
America: "Comforter"
Australia: "Doona"
British: "Duvet"
Me: "bLaNkEt"

Funfact : Wherever BRITISH EMPIRE ruled at some time ,
It's not so strange that the people of those places might have almost same accent or maybe exact BRITISH accent.
