English with Lucy
You can answer all your subscriber's questions on your live video😍
English with Lucy yeah, it is better now.
A celebratory live video would be cool xx
Hi, Lucy,
music is OK now. Quote from your comment:"...a lot of you have be saying about my intro ..." There is a small mistake, isn't it? (been??) :)
Hi Lucy. I have been following you for a long time. I come from China and find your Weibo hasn’t updated for a while. When will you update your Weibo so that we Chinese see your latest video faster?
Music is better now
I've learned a lot from you. Thank you from poland!
Omgosh why are you saying pollack?who the hell are you to say that?
Lazzzz? What the...seriously what kind of name is Laz????
me too
Polish live in Poland. Not pollack hahha
She said polish not foolish come on dear
Fun fact - we call them prawns in Australia too - the whole “throw another shrimp on the barbie” was created for an American TV ad.
We say coriander, biscuits, eggplant, zucchini, prawns, lollies, fairy floss, rocket, chips and chips. Yes, we use chips for both - it’s all about context! I don’t remember ever being confused by that.
Very interesting! Thank you
Justin Thomas - my parents are British and I was raised in Canada, we also called them chips and chips! Funny. 😊
I was just about to make a similar comment! 😂
chips and hot chips
MysticalAmber Yeah but we only use hot chips if we’re trying to differentiate them. You wouldn’t go into a fish n chip or charcoal chicken shop and ask for hot chips, you’d just say chips.
I guess we might say ‘I feel like some hot chips’ so people knew we weren’t talking about crisps.
Hi, Lucy. Americans also use the word coriander, but for them means the dried seeds of the plant. That is one of the many funny thing I learned when I lived in NY.
Correct. I'm an American and we call the plant cilantro, but we call the seeds coriander.
The seeds or dried or gourd it's coriander. My understanding has always been that it's only Cilantro when fresh.....
In my opinion the difference between zucchini and courgette has less to do with american vs british english but with the italian and french terms for this vegetable. By the way, I‘m keen on coriander and your channel, too!
Yes, I think that zucchini, just like broccoli, it's an italian immigration influence on American English.
A lot of the differences stem from others countries influence on the US and the UK. For instance Aubergine is a French word and is used in the UK which is close to France. In the US Cilantro is used to refer to coriander as the herb made its way to the US from Mexico. Also when looking at Rocket vs. Arugula, this is from the the southern Italian influence on the east coast of the US, as in southern Italy they use the term Arugula.
Cilantro is a spanish word derived from latin coriandrum (italian coriandolo, french coriandre) Arúgula is also spanish (italian rocola, french roquette)
Actually it's rucola in Italian.
By the way, I love it with lemon and oil!
Biscuits, aubergine, and courgette are actually French words
Melisaa Attalah roughly half the English language (approx 80,000 words) come from the French language. It might seem strange but you have to remember that William the Conqueror, who lead the Norman Conquest of England, was originally from France.
Biscuit is probably a late Latin word.
Bis-cooked, cooked twice.
Non, c’est bien français ;) It actually comes from Old French. In late Latin, cook was cocere.
Zuchini is an Italian one
Am I the only one seeing so big similarities between coctum, cuit and cooked? 😁
So I find this interesting,
A purple vegetable is called three different things:
Britain: Aubergine (French origin)
America and Australia: Eggplant (English origin)
Asia: Brinjal (Indian origin)
Should English really be that confusing?
Yeah . You're correct. We call it brinjal
Zucchini definitely derives from Italian, in fact we say zucchina, and in some Italian dialects it's even the same, zucchini...
I'm French and I learn every day with you so thank you very much ! Ps: I love your accent
Kiss from Bordeaux 🍷😘
I hope my English is good
I had so much fun with the pronunciation of these words. I knew a couple and learned new ones. Thank you, Lucy✨
Lucy, realmente me gustan muchos tus vídeos y me han ayudado bastante. Creo que tal vez deberías hacer un vídeo hablando de las "abreviaciones" y escritura informal en los mensajes de texto.
Saludos desde México
I swear to god if i had lucy as my teacher in undergrad i straight up get a phD just because of her.
Lucy is my heroine
First time I ever subscribed to a British teaching channel and still miss your vids because you don't post every single week , which keeps my eyes peeled onto your channel
kudos and cheers for being there , much love !
In the US cilantro(in our area we pronounce it sih-lahn-tro) refers to the fresh leaves/plant, and coriander is the dried, ground seeds of the same plant used as a spice! 😊
Big love 😍💖 I'm ill and I'm laying in bed, but when I saw you uploaded the video, I felt so much better 😂😂
Greetings from Brazil.
Love coriander/cilantro. 😊 Another example I can think of is broad beans or fava beans
OMG the way you pronounce these words😍 it blessed my ears
just started watching your videos since a last few days....and here I am a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig fan.... thankyouuuuu so much for These amazing videos they are of great help :)
Thank you Lucy for another great lesson! You really are an amazing teacher here on TH-cam. Those seemingly simple things you spoke about in this video are often get overlooked by English learners such as myself. So very useful and helpful and...mouthwatering 😀🍬🍫🍆🍪
Being from the South in the US I am fascinated with all things British!! I could listen to you for hours!! Love your videos!
thank you so much, LUCY!!!
Hello Lucy! You do an excellent work with your videos. They are well organized and the topics are really interesting! Go on like this, you rock. 😊
you rock with this comment😅

I would first thank you for your hard work towards English language learners around the world. I would recommend for you to provide us with legible tips of writing and the differences between American and British punctuation marks. Indeed, your video was loveable and loved.
My knowledge of English is terrible. When I started watching your video, I didn’t understand what you were talking about, but I continued to watch it every day. And you know what? I now began to understand you, I am so happy XD
Hey, Lucy! Coriander is super good, I love it!
Oh, I just noticed you have almost 1mi subscribers! Congrats!
997k ! You are so close to 1M. 💗
In the US we also say prawn for large shrimp, coriander and cilantro are both used as well, although cilantro is most commonly used.
Thanks Lucy for all your videos! I'm the best English student in my class right now and I always practise my English with your videos! Greetings from Germany
I'M LOVING BRITISH ENGLISH 💖
Many veggies name in the U.K. Come from French whereas in the us come. From Italian.. look at rocket salad for example..

this video is very interesting and helpful, thank you!
In India we use both American and British food names so it's a little bit confusing 😓. For eg we use the word ''fries" to represent "chips" and "biscuits" for "cookies" 😅
OMG I can't wait to see you with 1 million subscribers 😀
You totally deserve it 😙😙
It's one million already!! 🇬🇧♥️😉
+Izabela Franco 😀😀😀yyaayyyyy!!! Lucy, keep up the good work...😊😊😇
You are your way of giving knowledge about English is ...just on fleek 💞
Love this page....In the Appalachian US we call it, "Cilantro", when it's fresh and, "Coriander", when it's dried...It's also sometimes called, "Spanish Parsley" or, "Mexican Parsley". I do like them both and use them in very, (sorry), extremely different ways.
"Hello everyone! I´ve got a pronunciation video for you today! No... I haven´t ... I haven´t... I don´t.. It´s not a pronunciation video...!" ... kkkkkkkk... That was funny!!! :D
hey Lucy..... you're such an amazing teacher and you're also stunningly beautiful.....I've learnt a lot from your videos.....
please reply to me...
lots and lots of love from India ❤❤

Carlos Bello Lozano hahaha🤣 I was about to say the same thing😊 Fancy some tea with cookies? 😉
Same😆

😂😂😂
me too
I love ur way of teaching....
Thank you so much, Lucy! I've learned a lot from you as usual! I'm not so fancy coriander which we call "パクチー (Pak-chi)".
The aubergine/eggplant is called 'Brinjal' here in Indian English and I guess its called the same in Africa as well :) Love the video and btw I can't live without coriander
"Brinjal" is a Hindi word for aubergine. Not Indians call it that. Some Indians call it "bengun", begoon", etc.
EliteXtasy no, it came from Portuguese, beringal, because of trade centres.
It is called "berinjela" in portuguese. Quite similar, isn't it?
Vida de ImigranTche yes, because brinjal was taken from Portuguese
Aubergine (french), Baingan (Hindi), Berinjela (portuguese), Berenjena (spanish) all those words are similar as they come from arabic hispanic "baḏinǧána"
I love the dancing in the end, really cute❤️ i hate coriander
Thank you soo much lucy for teachin' this...😘😘
Hey lucy hope u doing good .. as an arab and trying to improve my british accent .. u'r channel is such a help for me just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work
I looooove Cilandro a lott ..it's an ingredient i never forget to add in my cooking (:
*In simple sentence: - A sprinkle of Coriander at the end is what makes my food miraculously aromatic .. XD
Like if u agree ;)
In Italian we say "coriandolo", what are "confetti" in English Carnival...but Italian "confetti" are "comfits" in English...and so on... :)
ultimus
Oh is that so..
Italian ,French and Spanish r such interesting languages.. I never wondered the history of English had such an influence.. Lovely :)
I absolutely agree, bye CocoLena!
"Cilantro" comes from Spanish
Hey Lucy
u teach amazing nd I love coriander and are even good to stay fit.
Your accent is too good.
I watch your channel and Vanessa's , Emma's and Leah's channels too for improving my English pronunciation and listening skills too.
Thanks to you all. 😊
Zucchini is Italian, whereas Courgette is French.
Second!!
Btw,you look like an anime girl!! I 😍 coriander!
I came here to hear your accent ... i love it !!!
Thank you Lucy
Oh my I'm so proud of myself haha cause I named like 5 of these before watching the video and then knew all the other ones!
P.S. we sat coriander in Russia as well :)
Geniusboy 79 you too
Victoria Dyachkova can we be friends on Fb plz to chat and ameliorate our English language.
Squad?!
Thanks Lucy for this wonderfull lesson
Thank you Mrs. Lucy for uploading your video ,we were waiting for it😃
6:45 hahah 💃🏼 haha
In all seriousness, if you use sweets instead of candy, why would you say candy floss instead of sweet floss? Also, while you might not like the idea of eating cotton, we Americans wouldn't like the idea of eating floss, since that word is associated with dental floss.
Regarding cookies, I understood that drop baked cookies, like chocolate chip cookies, are also called cookies in the UK. Is that correct?
Love coriander. Love your videos just as much as coriander. They are always very helpful and informative! 😊
I had learned more things!thank you mate
In India people say Dessert not pudding they do pronounce the letter r in the end of the word they say French fries not chips which is not correct they learn British English but they sound American they say chips not Crisps
😂😂😂
Supriya bahot yeah and we call eggplant/aubergine...brinjal in India!
In the UK, we call the final sweet dish of a meal "dessert". However, the word dessert originally referred to any dish. Except for Yorkshire Pudding, pudding refers to any sweet dish, particularly if it's boiled.
Oh right! I was wondering why nobody understood french fries and never thought that it is used solely in India!
Supriya we mix american and british words.
Engin from Turkey ? No!!! We speak English in school n also at home English is very very common in India!!!!
I think my mom thinks that i'm crazy, i've been saying "criSpS" for like an hour
Thank you, Lucy !
Thanks for the lesson, gorgeous
Two people who "work on batteries" did not like this video. Pity on them... 💐🌸💮🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🍎🍏🍐🍑🍒🍓🍅🍆🌽🍄🌰🍞🍖🍗🍔🍟🍕🍳🍲🍱🍘🍙🍚🍛🍜🍝🍠🍢🍣🍤🍥🍡🍦🍧🍨🍩🍪🎂🍰🍫🍬🍭🍮🍯🍼☕🍵🍶🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🍴🔪😂😂😂😍😘😄
Jelly for Americans jam for British
What about Jelly and Jello?
They're not the same. Jelly in USA is a spread made from the juices of the fruit, whereas jam is made of the entire fruit. Americans often get these confused. American "jelly" is uncommon in the UK. Also, the American name for the gelatine dessert was due to the popularity of the Kraft brand Jell-O. It's similar to the "walkman" and "hoover" situation.
I am American i call it jam
Jelly and Jam are 2 different things in the US
Alanna R. Jelly and jam are two different things as are the 3rd and fourth things preserves and marmalade
Thanks sister I have learned from you.
Thank you so much Lucy 😊😊
In Australia we call coriander "disgusting"
Toby T agreed! If it's added to a dish, I scrape it out as much as possible.
John Speer me too 😂 even if it's a tiny piece, I will still taste it 😖
Toby T coriander is edible if only a little tiny inch is in the dish but cilantro taste like soap. On one of the DNA testing sites that says that is a genetic thing to be able to taste a soap like taste on cilantro.
Sondra Dee Stanley in Australian English the word for cilantro is coriander
I hate coriander! It tastes like soap
ParisAntarktis I read about that. For some people it does indeed taste like soap, but for the rest of us it does not (not even a little soapy, ewww). I love it. Strange, isn’t it?
Thanks, very helpful. ❤
I love coriander so so much!!
hi lucy can i get a heart
thx lucy
*i think that you dont like anerican people*
I do love cilantro!
I love you Lucy❤️,love your accent, love your Spanish, love everything of you💋💋
From Laos
Thanks Lucy for your lovely lesson I think was so usefull
Thank you for your all effort
Youre amazing Lucy thank you 👍, i love this language
Thank you so much for this video, please I want more videos like that..
It is a great help to identify the difference of the American and the British words.. Thank you Lucy 😆😆
I watch your videos just to hear your accent, I feel like I'm slowly starting to sound more American (bc of TH-cam, movies etc), so this way I get a little bit of practice. I already know much of what you say since I've learnt English for so many years now, but your videos still help me. I didn't know about arugula and rocket, for example.
Thank you for this video!!
Thank you for your very useful videos
Thank you Lucy, for your cheerful and useful videos! :)
Amazing job Lucy,
I need more of this one and also a vocabulary videos
Much obliged!
I live in Seattle in the Pacific Northwest and "prawns" is used for "shrimp" here often, especially for the larger ones. Also, our biscuits can be served with gravy, or butter, or what we call jam (or preserves). Some treats for dogs are referred to as dog biscuits, or just biscuits.
