Person: *speaking with American accent* Me, a non-native speaker: I Understand All. I Have Mastered This Language. Person: *speaking with British accent* Me: Ah yes. This person is saying something.
Yeah, I need sub titles to watch any British show, they seem to run many words together, they don't really seem to speak English anymore. I can understand non native English speakers better than British people
This is funny thing. I can clearly see that "old language" speakers have an advantage. UK guy can catch US guy talk, but US guy cannot understand UK guy (sometimes). I was told by one woman in Portugal, Portuguese can understand Brazilians, but not the opposite. My friend from Brazil confirmed that he cannot understand "original" Portuguese and in Lisbon he ordered a meal in the restaurant in English. I was shocked. Cheers from Poland.
You can tell you are making a big effort to speak more clearly and appeal to a wider audience. I imagine a lot of non-British people would still struggle.
El acento estadounidense es mucho más fluido si aprendés un par de cuestiones de vocalización que ellos tienen. Por ejemplo, en una conversación normal, una frase como "a little bit of butter" la pronuncian algo así como "alira bira bodeR" (la R mayúscula es la R de habla inglesa)
@@RigbyAdrian Yoo, that shit happens to me a lot when watching Outlander. I try my best to watch it in English, bc it’s the original language, but the Scottish accent is something else, so I have to change and watch it in Spanish. En español puede que hayan paises que no se logren entender, pero no creo que haya algo tan fuerte como la manera escocesa de hablar el inglés. Aunque muchos dicen que en mi país, República Dominicana, y el resto del caribe hablamos un poco raro. En lo personal yo puedo entender cualquier acento de español.
Its so unique,Greg! We have some similar in Ukraine like you're saying telly,we say teleek))),you say footy,we-footbeek)) I am very excited of your podcasts!
Onya Greg! We have a lot in common. The only words that were unknown to me were: Offie (because there is no such thing here. (We have bottle shop or bottle-o) Deffo (no equivalent I can think of.) Sarni ( we have a sanger or a sango) and Bevvie ( we say grog). All the rest are pretty much the same! Greetings from Australia (Straya)
It sounds Aussie. I use cuppa , arvo and brekkie. Also s’arvo for this afternoon, barbie for bbq , choccy biccy for chocolate biscuits and many more...
Thanks for your channel. I think there are various reasons that I find hard to understand British English in class. Concisely speaking. Pronunciation, speed and slangs make it hard for me to follow and also I feel hard to speak fluently as the native speaker. I have lived in UK for undergraduate, but I still find it hard to follow the native speaker in class as they won't speak like in any English Learning Channel. Speaking faster and with lots of slangs using in conversation. So for many times, I feel I could not hear clearly so that find it hard to catch up the native speaker.

OLA English with Greg Your welcome. I am from India and I came to UK last month,and British accent and words are quite different but after watching your videos, I didn't find it difficult. I can't believe that such a famous youtuber replied my comment.
In the South of England I've heard the term "HIYA", a greeting from a barista to a regular customer, I guess it means How are you? And you did not mention the Bobbies, policemen, or isn't that term used anymore.
I wonder by shortening these words and saving a few seconds, what amazing are you people doing with that time!? Why can't u just say TV like normal people!
if you can I hope you make video about vocabulary and how can I learn faster and don't forget them beacous all of my skills in english are good but I have problem with learn new vocabulary
Great video. I already knew about: footy, telly, gonna, wanna. Last week I saw an american youtuber talking about "pry" (if I'm not mistaken). "Pry" would be "probably"
Ha, yes, I can imagine Americans pronounces probably without the 'obabl'. We sometime write 'prob' or 'probs', but would not say it in spoken English. These really are important words to know. When I first moved to Spain to teach English I had to quickly learn what words like profe, cole and peque meant! 😀
I'm very curious about spoken English tips :) As I don't practice everyday (I mean, I don't have conversations in English), I am having trouble to remember a few words and expressions :o I really have a "rusty English". #sad u.u PS.: In Brazil "profe" is short for "professor" (same in Spanish?) xD

The ones that get me are the golf instruction videos. For whatever reason, they are all either British or Irish, and I mean HEAVY accent British or Irish. They generally go something like this: Allo (hello) Allo, Roga here to give you some queek (quick) teeps (tips) on improving yah short game. Plenty of blokes you'll see line up all squabbly, with their feet pointed in every direction but sideways. That's all wrong, folks... I mean, if you wanna heet the ball solid, you gotta squa ya shoulders above the ball, don'tcha? Ya can't have the ball someway ovah heeyah, or even heeyah. That just won't werk now, will it? Eef you line yaself up straight ways ovah the ball, like so... you can see yah swing will HEET the ball at just the propah motion in the sweeng, and ya shot ees moah likely to go straightaways down the fayahway. (Swings club) Blimey, that's a shot right theyah... Again, meedle of the stance, ahms bent sloghtly fowahd, and take ya nohmal sweeng. So, give it a go - see if thees helps you to get a few moah pah's.

Yes sarni short for sandwich but in Manchester England my Mum would always ask us if we wanted a sugar buttie a half sandwich bread butter and sugar one piece of bread rolled on top of its self and there you have it. My Mum was born in 1923 in Staffordshire so I don't know if it was a Manchester thing or Staffs thing but very enduring.
Did the people in the UK use the slang word "Brolly" in the victorian era? Like back in the 1850s? According to MerriamWebster.com, the word Brolly was in use since 1873. Is that true?
Hi Kevin. Sure! I did a video on how to pronounce the vowel sound in this word in my course '5 Secrets to Sound Like a Native Speaker'. Here's the link to get the free course: www.OnlineLanguageAcademy.com/5secrets.htm (it's the second video: "Secret #1 The Most Common Sound")

Here's the small difference... *14 beautifully British words?* = They are British in a beautiful way. *14 beautiful British words* = They are beautiful. And they are British.
Why do I understand what you are saying but when it comes to others who speak British Accent, I can't understand😭 or maybe it's bcus you speak not too fast and very clear
Dear Sir, I was wondering if I might dare to ask you a question ? Why did you say: I watch THE television or THE telly? Can one use the article "The" with television program? Presently, let me say you do have a deep mellifluous voice. I beseech your pardon for disturbing you. I pay my respects to you. Andrea from Venice, Italy.
Hello again Andrea. We generally use *THE* when we use the word *TELLY*, but we don't use it when we say *TV*. What can I say... English is a strange, strange language 😂 - What's on TV tonight? - What's on *the* telly tonight?
i could imagine a lot of non british people would feel struggle when they communicate with the british people. Somehow im tellin’ the person im talking to in the voice call (btw hes british) “can i go to the bathroom” (obviously i said that bcz i couldnt understand anything he said to me and i needed to quit this call but also i just dont want to be rude) and he said yes just that.
Reasons I do not understand British people: 1) They speak too fast. 2) They do not vocalize. 3) Too much informal speech or slang. Obviously, not all of them. I've heard different British accents and some of them are clear and beautiful. But I hate when they just spit three glottal syllables for a sentence with 10 words.
This is very difficult for me. I can't any understand british english. But american english very simply than british english. Especially british english very difficult for anything listening quiz.
Even without the slang or shortened words or whatever, british english is hard to understand because of the way words are pronounced in general, if feels to me english people do not open their mouths or something as much as americans, a friend of mine says they always sound like they are eating someting
After this it comes to my mind that for you to shorten every word over 4 syllabels you must have a lazy toungue then you people pronounce everything so fast as if it was a toungue twister , it's really confusing.
Thanks for the video, it's quite a revelation. No wonder I can't understand shit when I watch british movies or when I travel to the UK. I'm an American btw.
i literally understand nothing when they speak British english. This upsets me how can i easily understand it as good as i do understand american accent? What would you recommend me?I want to understand conversations hold in the game i play. And btw my English level is upper intermediate.
Person: *speaking with American accent*
Me, a non-native speaker: I Understand All. I Have Mastered This Language.
Person: *speaking with British accent*
Me: Ah yes. This person is saying something.
Ikr
I always wonder if American can understand British. Cause I can't
Yeah, I need sub titles to watch any British show, they seem to run many words together, they don't really seem to speak English anymore. I can understand non native English speakers better than British people
Sameeeeee
This is funny thing. I can clearly see that "old language" speakers have an advantage. UK guy can catch US guy talk, but US guy cannot understand UK guy (sometimes).

Thanks! Yes, I have to know these words! I will try!
As a Spanish guy, I have a hard time trying to understand brittish slang. The main problem is the pronuntiation, specially with thick accents 😅
El acento estadounidense es mucho más fluido si aprendés un par de cuestiones de vocalización que ellos tienen. Por ejemplo, en una conversación normal, una frase como "a little bit of butter" la pronuncian algo así como "alira bira bodeR" (la R mayúscula es la R de habla inglesa)

Back in England I learned Coach instead bus, pint instead beer and tube instead subway. It's fantastic!
Coach is a type of bus.
@@asparadog yes ?
Coach to me means a tour bus in England and tube TV in America I think.

Onya Greg! We have a lot in common. The only words that were unknown to me were: Offie (because there is no such thing here. (We have bottle shop or bottle-o) Deffo (no equivalent I can think of.) Sarni ( we have a sanger or a sango) and Bevvie ( we say grog). All the rest are pretty much the same! Greetings from Australia (Straya)

Oh my gosh!!! I'm awfully surprised i Would rather you taught us more about it coz they're jolly helpful even though i don't wanna eat veggies

Haha. It certainly can sound like another language at times!
Yeah Man I agree with you.
I wanna watch the footy on the telly this arvo with a bevvy and a sarnie.
It sounds Aussie. I use cuppa , arvo and brekkie. Also s’arvo for this afternoon, barbie for bbq , choccy biccy for chocolate biscuits and many more...
Hhhhh, that what kills me.
Not even the shorten words, I have a problem understanding the Pronunciation.
Sir please do continue . Your voice is lovely and I love to learn from you.
Superb. I'm definitely showing this vid to my students.

Forgot to say I'm living in California and I never said hiya but I'm gonna try to say it more.

Ta!.... i wanna learn it this arvo...
The ones that get me are the golf instruction videos. For whatever reason, they are all either British or Irish, and I mean HEAVY accent British or Irish. They generally go something like this:

for such a very useful lesson
I'm gonna watch a footi on the telly in the Arvo with a bevvie and a sarni.
Like si viste de nuevo el inicio del video y entendiste todo😄😄🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Cheers
There's "mo" for moment. For example "I'm just going to put the kettle on I'll be back in a "mo"
Ok same goes for the expression Wagwan instead of what's going on...
Arvo is Strine surely?
To be honest I didn't recognize three of these: sarnie, offie, and arvo. But I will now. What is the shortened version of tailgunner?
Taily, of course!
Yes sarni short for sandwich but in Manchester England my Mum would always ask us if we wanted a sugar buttie a half sandwich bread butter and sugar one piece of bread rolled on top of its self and there you have it. My Mum was born in 1923 in Staffordshire so I don't know if it was a Manchester thing or Staffs thing but very enduring.

Why not 14 beautiful British words?
Can you please explain?
Here's the small difference...
*14 beautifully British words?* = They are British in a beautiful way.
*14 beautiful British words* = They are beautiful. And they are British.
Don't forget "postie" :)
I'm from England and you sound Scottish and Irish mixed together.
i'm pretty sure he's welsh, northern welsh or nearby.
@@endelvelt7650 More like North East.
British people rarely use ‘Avro’. It’s more an Australian thing.
So many are the same in the US
great!
Thanks!
Good morning! Early video.
The early bird catches the word, Vicent :-)
great
Why do I understand what you are saying but when it comes to others who speak British Accent, I can't understand😭 or maybe it's bcus you speak not too fast and very clear
I’m from england and I’ve never heard of brolly or sarnie, like EVER. Strange 🤔
brolly??????? are you serious? woh lmao, that's not even slang where I'm from its just the normal language (SE London/Kent)
I'm from outside of UK but I've known that Brolly id a British term for umbrella
This sentence appeals to me : I'm gonna watch a footy on the telly this Arvo with a bevvie as you came with many words in one sentence.
Dear Sir,
I was wondering if I might dare to ask you a question ? Why did you say: I watch THE television or THE telly? Can one use the article "The" with television program? Presently, let me say you do have a deep mellifluous voice. I beseech your pardon for disturbing you. I pay my respects to you. Andrea from Venice, Italy.
Hello again Andrea. We generally use *THE* when we use the word *TELLY*, but we don't use it when we say *TV*. What can I say... English is a strange, strange language 😂
- What's on TV tonight?
- What's on *the* telly tonight?
i could imagine a lot of non british people would feel struggle when they communicate with the british people.
Somehow im tellin’ the person im talking to in the voice call (btw hes british) “can i go to the bathroom” (obviously i said that bcz i couldnt understand anything he said to me and i needed to quit this call but also i just dont want to be rude) and he said yes just that.
Reasons I do not understand British people:
1) They speak too fast.
2) They do not vocalize.
3) Too much informal speech or slang.
Obviously, not all of them. I've heard different British accents and some of them are clear and beautiful. But I hate when they just spit three glottal syllables for a sentence with 10 words.
The glottal stop fucks with everything
Same
Si tan solo todos hablaran como Greg🙃
This is very difficult for me. I can't any understand british english. But american english very simply than british english. Especially british english very difficult for anything listening quiz.
I wanna watch footy on the telly
this arvo, with some bevvies
I can't understand even when they speak regular words. Lately on TH-cam there's been many videos of British where I have rewatched and just still cant
Even without the slang or shortened words or whatever, british english is hard to understand because of the way words are pronounced in general, if feels to me english people do not open their mouths or something as much as americans, a friend of mine says they always sound like they are eating someting
I would say that about Julia Child like she had a Rothchild sweetie in her mouth.
Thanks , also using bro for brother
Yes! And 'sis' for sister, too! And 'cuz' for cousin... Thanks for commenting!
After this it comes to my mind that for you to shorten every word over 4 syllabels you must have a lazy toungue then you people pronounce everything so fast as if it was a toungue twister , it's really confusing.
Thanks for the video, it's quite a revelation. No wonder I can't understand shit when I watch british movies or when I travel to the UK. I'm an American btw.
Thanks Sergio. I used to live in the US (and quite enjoyed the confused faces when I used these words 😂)
What is btw mean? I live in California and have never heard of it.
