This is a great way to teach vocabulary! I find when people learn English, the last thing they learn is vocabulary, so in theory, they are fluent, but they find themselves searching for words. Great
Thanks so much for the kind words Pat. We think vocabulary is really important too and there's nothing like stories and conversations for making it come to life. :-)
im pretty sure that this is the most wholesome channel in all of youtube. the amount of fun the two of you are having is palpable, and will only make this channel thrive! thanks a lot for helping those that are learning english as a second (or third, or fourth....) language!
MĕŘıȚă ŅA, so many of our viewers have asked if we could be their grandparents, that I'm afraid you'll have to stand in line (or join the queue as they say in British English.). We're very happy you like our channel. Thanks for letting us know.
You two are the sweetest, loveliest, and most wholesome people!! I love this. I also like knowing why Arthur Weasley wears a crown in a Christmas scene that always baffled me.
My boyfriend is British and we’re gonna make Christmas dinner together this year. He mentioned Christmas crackers but it’s not a thing in Korea so I decided to make one for my boyfriend. Your video was so delightful :) thank you !
Well... In Poland we haven't any meat, except fish. If someone would like to eat turkey, other people will be surprised! We've 12 dishes and after Christmas dinner we can open our presents. One of the dishes is pierogi (dumplings) with a coin inside! The person who hits the coin, will be rich the following year. We sing christmas songs, we make wishes. Beautiful tradition...
I wish i was polish, love verry much eating fish!!!! Here in Argentina we eat asado (argentine bbQ) and salads or vittel thone (meat boiled in vegi broth and then cut verry thin with an anchoe tuna and mayonese sauce ) salads like ensalada rusa and then we eat desert and after that at 00:00 o 'clock we eat panetonne with mantecol (a buttery paste made with penuts and other things that it usually melts because it's summer and you can find it all year but we conaume a lot in christmas. You love it or you hate it) and candied nuts,also we eat a lot of candys like bonobon (a chocolate bonbon filled with a nutpaste )
Hi xGrool. This sounds like a wonderful and very filling meal and great evening. We love pirogis and we'd never heard of the coin story before, though we do put coins in a British Christmas pudding. Thanks for sharing.
@@emilialavarellocambaceres315 For a Pole it sounds quite strange, but it is very interesting. Every country has its traditions! Christmas is a wonderful and magical time! We love it! But... In real Xmas should be snow and Santa Claus on sledge... Global warming no longer allows it. It is so, so sad.
and now I know why Dad of Bridget Jones was sitting with the yellow crown on his head, when Bridget returned at home on Xmas Eve. I mean the scene from “ Bridget Jones’s Diary”. Thank you!:)))
I recently discovered your channel, and I'm happy I did! I love the warm feeling in every single video❤. Thanks for sharing education and joy for your subscribers✨.
I love the explanation of what a pun is and what “play on words” means. Lol very delightful. British folks have some traditions that are hilarious, silly and delightful and I wish my family had those things.
Hello! My name is Jack and recently I got really into languages, and I looked up different languages. I found Norwegian and I fell in love with the language, so I searched up videos with languages. I then became so interested in languages, and I became across your channel. I love your channel and you guys are amazing! The husband always cracks me up and reminds me of my dad. The wife always makes me smile and she makes me happy. Keep on being handsome and beautiful! Bye!
Hello Jack. So glad you have found us and are enjoying the videos and thank you very much for the kind and encouraging words. Good luck with your linguistic studies!
Really good video. Well, i'm from Greece and we actually don't have anything like christmas cracker but we have something different. We have a cake that has a coin inside and the person who gets the coin will be lucky the rest of the year. We also like singing songs at Christmas, playing cards and we usually organise a celebration with our friends and family to have fun together. I love Christmas here... By the way really good channel. We love you
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this Katerina. A Greek Christmas sounds lovely. We have a similar tradition with a coins in a British Christmas Pudding. Perhaps we can make a video about that next year.
Hi Joshua. This is Jay writing back to you. it's not part of the American tradition either, but I'm so glad Vicki introduced me to it. It is a lot of fun :-)
I am trying to get some crackers for christmas dinner with my son's grandparents. My 12 year old asked me what they are and I showed her your video. The two of you are adorable, and it was very educational for her. Thank you for making this!
I had a vague memory of a family friend giving us these when I was extremely young. On a whim, I investigated the memory which led me to your video. Thanks for posting it
Hi! I have been watching your videos for 2 weeks and you two helped me a lot with my english! I’m from Argentina and I really love this channel! Hope you have nice holidays!!!!
I was doing some research for a presentation and I found this video. What a lucky find! Great video, I wish you were my grandparents, too! I actually sent it to my mom who doesn't understand English that well, but I hope she will enjoy the video anyway!
Hi,Vicky and Jay! Thanks for your reply, so pleasant to have it! I have watched a few more videos and must say- your lessons are so professional, you know the subject perfectly and what’s more give all the things easily and interesting, following the rule ,, I love English and love to teach English,, You are very talented and hard-working!🤝👏👏👏
Your channel is really great! A native language is always emotionally charged for its speaker. A foreign language seems flat and alien because its words are not connected to life experience of a student, to particular situations, sad or joyful. You make English live. Thanks!
I'm here because of my assignment in school about crackers and ended up here. I'm asian so I didn't know what it was haha. This is very informative to me. Thank you po! (we use 'po' as a sign of respect) ❤️
I loved those Xmas crackers! We don't have anything similar in Brazil, but looking at the presents they have inside, made me remind my childhood. And those jokes and puns were so funny to me, they made me laugh out loud. You know English isn't my mother language, so everything I learn is like gold, even the corny jokes!
just came across this video because i bought some christmas crackers for this year, and i wanted to know how to use them properly. these two are too adorbs!

I love the Christmas crackers!..We don't have anything like that here in the U.S. Now I understand where all the 'party hats' I saw on British television programs at Christmas originated. I saw the party hats..and the many colored pastel decorations of British tv Christmas..and I thought..'that's more of a birthday party than our usual red/green color theme"...it doesn't look 'Christmasy' to me!....but then I realized..Christmas IS a birthday!...well done, Brits!
In my country the majority of the population is believed to be orthodox Christians. As such we have long periods of time when we restrain ourselves from eating meat, drinking alcohol, etc. These are called "пости", pronounced postee. Christmas Eve is the last day of the Christmas postee, so no meat meals on the table for us, only vegetarian dishes. We prepare a homemade bread (питка, peetka) with a coin inside. On Christmas Eve a family member tears the bread apart and handles a piece to everyone sitting by the table. Whoever gets the coin is believed to have luck and fortune during the following year. Needless to say that this is the most exciting part for kids.
Oh thank you so much for sharing this Galina. We love hearing about other customs. Jay would love the vegetarian meal as he went vegan this year. It sounds wonderful and that custom with the bread sounds like a lot of fun too.
I found this video while searching for Mr Bean’s Christmas (remember his attempt to make a massive cracker?), and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself watching this. It was like a cozy visit. Thank you and a Merry Christmas from Canada.
