Things you should know before living in the UK

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- 1. Some people might assume that you speak English (but most people are kind and understanding!)
2. The humour might be different from what you're used to.
3. Racist, homophobic or other prejudiced remarks aren't generally tolerated (if you're speaking with most normal people).
4. Lots of people are interested in house-buying and decorating type topics of conversation.
5. People might be more private about their personal life than you're used to.
6. The streets might not be as safe as where you're from (depending on where you are).
Everything I say is just from my experience being British and living in the UK - of course most of this stuff is open to debate!
Thanks everyone and hope you enjoy your stay in the UK 💙💙

分享Newcastle 留學經驗
1. 晚上確實路上比較多奇怪的人，但我好幾次大半夜一兩點遇過醉漢，他們非常有趣，只要是他不小心撞到你或是嚇到你(因為他們喝醉都愛亂叫亂吼或是大聲唱歌)，我遇到的這幾個人都說”Sorry I’m drunk.”🤣
2. 另外就是一直聽說英國北部人是相對友善的，原本不太相信，直到前幾個月跟朋友去了倫敦，晚上在一間酒吧朋友被指著鼻子罵fuck off，我就信了😂
3. Newcastle 當地的口音”Geordie accent “對於初學者極度不友善🤣因為連其他地方的來的英國人都要猜一下想一想才能聽懂，更不用說我們這非母語者，但也是因為這樣，Geordies都明白自己口音獨特其他人可能沒辦法馬上聽懂，所以他們常常很有耐心的多講幾次或是想辦法換個簡單的字或詞來表達，尤其在當地菜市場🤣Geordie 的nice程度絕對絕對可以當英國第一！到後來猜Geordie 表達什麼意思變成非常生活中非常有趣的一部分❤ Newcastle number 1 !! haha
4. 學校老師教授、職員來自英國各地、世界各地，大家都明白並且尊重別人的文化，只要你聽不懂他們也很願意再多說幾次，尤其老職員都是Geordie，他們最可愛，每次聽不懂的時候他們就會說”Sorry about my accent.” 然後更努力的要跟你解釋🤣I love them!❤
分享得很棒耶！我之前在英國從事飯店業，當時有少數幾個同事會覺得亞洲人來英國玩竟然不會說英文，是有一種歧視的感覺，但是有這種反應的並不是在地英國人而是當地待很久或是從小移民過去有接受過英國教育的外來人。所以我覺得那他們很自以為是，也覺得歧視一方面是思想很狹隘。
關於晚上出門要小心是真的，當初我也不以為然，有時下班晚上10~11點跑步回家邊運動，一直到有天跟英國同事聊天時他告誡我說那非常危險我才開始擔心並停止。
後來也有遇到飯店入住的亞洲客人向我抱怨在路上被搶手機或是被拿破碎的酒瓶威脅搶包，也有在逛街時包包拉鏈未拉被偷錢包等事件。總之一個人外出是需要多感覺四週環境狀況的。
去過倫敦兩次，一次待半個月，一次待半年。就我個人經驗是覺得當地人雖然大多數看起來酷酷的有點冷漠，但在需要交談時卻意外很友善，而且我常常受到陌生人的幫助（比如在地鐵主動幫我提行李或在路上主動問我需不需要幫忙），所以我非常喜歡倫敦。❤唯一一次比較驚悚的經驗就是在酒吧前遇到喝醉酒的人過來騷擾，甚至抓住我的手直到我尖叫才放開我。因為當時旁邊有男伴，更覺得這種藉酒鬧事的人很放肆！除此之外都還好，一個人也覺得可以在那裡安心生活，可能跟我自身比較謹慎也有關係，入夜我幾乎都不會單獨外出了。
But your is women, I am is man.还是用中文说吧， 可能因为你是女生，人家才会对你客气吧？我是男生，身体看上去很壮，人家还会对我客气吗？会不会把我当作坏人？😅
@@user-zy2uh5bd1q 可是我覺得友善或客氣跟對象的性別無關，這是人品修養的關係，端看你遇上什麼樣的人。你言行舉止得當，仍被當作壞人或是遭遇不公對待的話是對方的問題，不是你的呀！我也有女性朋友在英國跟歐洲受到歧視，只是我比較幸運沒遇過，如我所言我常常收到幫助，所以很喜歡倫敦，但出門在外我依然會小心謹慎。
在乡村的确路灯很昏暗，不过街上的人，不管好人还是坏人，的确很少。在伦敦，主路上的路灯都很明亮。在夜里十二点前，女孩走在大街上其实根本不用担心。后半夜去夜店，女孩的确要非常小心，尤其是在醉酒的时候，不能单人独行。那些被报导性侵的案例绝大部分是发生在深夜或者凌晨。
冷食居多
@@kuochenssu2593 哦！了解，我觉得主要还是看个人吧！检讨自己，善待他人。不与没有共同爱好的人交朋友。就OK了！如果自己没有问题，被歧视也无所谓，不跟这些人一般见识。我重庆人，去北京被北京人歧视，去上海被上海人歧视。我无法理解他们不知道哪里来的自信。住在车水马龙的嘈杂的市区，还歧视别人。我还歧视他们呢？😅
入境隨俗這四個字應該是最佳的良方，
尊重及融入當地文化，相信一切會好，
希望未來有機會移民英國，謝謝分享！👍😃🙌
分享一下目前在巴斯留學的狀況。我的室友們都是英國人，但大部分都挺友善的，有人會放慢速度跟我對話，有人問我問題的時候會paraphrase，讓我有機會可以加入他們談話，而且雖然大家都是英國人，卻都是來自不同的文化背景跟家庭，我們甚至有一次flat聚餐時每個人輪流播自己家鄉的傳統音樂；至於歧視方面，學校在fresher's week曾經有上課特別說明偏見、歧視、霸凌的定義，資料上也有寫清楚不能容忍這些狀況，如果遇到了可以尋求哪些資源幫助，我覺得這塊學校滿用心處理的；至於問比較私人的問題，可能因為我室友們都是年輕人，對這些問題比較沒有顧忌，開學第二周過完，flatmates對彼此的感情狀況都大概了解😆
分享一下我的經驗～
目前在伯明翰留學一年多的時間
治安部分，曾經住過市中心，夜晚確實會有喝醉的人（不分週末或平日），剛開始經過很黑的公園警覺性會很高，但後來發現就算有人喝醉亂罵人，不至於觸碰到路人，所以後來就不太怕很晚走在市中心。
種族歧視部分，我的課程是理工科的PhD的學生，常常進出實驗室，因此很常跟系上的technician溝通，但每次溝通都有很嚴重的不適感。比如technician跟老師說我們可以用哪些用品，過幾天去問他如何領取，technician就會改口我們禁止使用，然後講了一大堆理由，說會影響到他們教學（他們有帶實驗課），可是實際的情形是，他們單純不願意分享器材，我並不會影響到他們的教學，類似的情況一年來發生太多次了，而且好發在系上每個有色人種的PhD學生，很明顯對白皮膚PhD態度很好，我不知道問題出在哪，這種態度上的事情也無從檢舉，他們這樣的行為確實沒有發生很嚴重的問題，所以也只能繼續這樣下去，儘管太多人說過PhD理應比technician還大。
别用有色人种代表印度人和黑人，印度的种姓，黑人的酋长，中国的主仆，注定一些人习惯性跪舔。
Email去記錄事件 會比口同鼻拗好
@@jkwok6105 了解，Email確實是好方法，但這幾個technician，沒有確實收發Email的習慣，儘管cc老師也一樣，他們只回覆他們想回的信，所以逼我們只能當面找他們。
Not sure whether or not you will see my note, but still would like to make a point about it. Am teaching and researching in a Bham Uni myself and if you really want to sort things out properly, you can email the PGR administrator in your department, and copy your lead supervisors, and/or the lead of the PGR at your Uni to the email, depending on how much you want to go down the formal complaint route dealing with the technician. I would if I were you, if the technician has been difficult with you and other colored students. Making a formal complaint about the person and make the relevant people in charge know that you are not just moaning about an unfriendly colleague, they will, or should, deal with it by following a certain procedure. 祝你好运！也祝你博士学业顺利
移民英國no.1最重要的當然是醫療，公私營醫療如何預約找醫生看醫生，要不要買醫療保險等？你起碼可以講兩集
看個人健康情況和年齡吧，正常年輕人不太關心醫療
That’s really useful. Low crime doesn’t mean no crime. No matter if you go to work or going to meet someone, Just be vary from all surroundings and stay vigilant. Even if you work in different job position, always be alert from someone who might be speak something might offending you. If not, everything will be fine.
神奇的yotube帶我認識妳，雖然我不學英文，因為1976年也來不急了，但是你做的水准用心度很高，我加入會員支持你。
Aw thanks for joining, it's great to have you here! 🥰
Susie, 我是香港人但我跟家人將會在明年2023年初移民地英國。我英文不是很好只是僅僅听懂，但是我很驚呀一个外國年輕美女但是普通話可以说得那麼流利？並且你会用淺白的英語跟听众溝通，現在我开始常常听你的視頻去学聆聽英語，真的感謝你的視頻。👍🥴😜👻
新移民? 吧 咁多簡體字
上個月有去倫敦 晚上我都不太敢出門～ 而且把包包夾緊～ 但實際上我遇到的都是友善的人～ 路人幫忙拍照，或是花時間等我翻譯😂 還會想再去英國玩❤🎉
刚从伦敦回来 对英国印象非常好。英国人有礼貌 克制的热情 治安非常好 全世界的美食应有尽有。历史文化的内容逛也逛不完。城市规划设计合理，交通方便 大气，个人认为比欧洲大多数国家都要好。至于banter 我只能说 英国人比法国人有礼貌多的多了！ 治安比意大利好的多的多。
Thanks for your information, so many HKers have been moved and planning to move to UK.
Susie 的英語很好聽, 很舒服👍
太棒了，谢谢你！
刚从英国旅游回来，遇到两次不愉快。第一次是在伦敦看冰雪奇缘的舞台剧，旁边有个老太婆对我们非常没有礼貌。还有在爱丁堡的一个披萨店一个服务员也有点歧视我们。不过除此以外其他人都很友好，天空岛的景色更是breathtaking。由于没有订到住宿，在天空岛的三天我们一家三口住的帐篷，帐篷充气垫是从中国背过去的，然后在argos买了一床被子。 所有这些都是为了天空岛的quiraing，果然一切都是值得的，真的太美了。
the newest thing to know about uk is that 10 downing st is a perfect place for short stay, according to airbnb.
Related to your saying about taking the piss - a random joke came to mind.
When my girlfriend called someone b*tch - they are best friends. When she calls someone sweet heart, they are probably archenemy.
You really have to be very close to mock someone without fear of them taking offense.
Thoughtful advice
Helpful for foriegn residents who arrived UK and not much known of your norms
Very useful tips as to understanding UK people. Thanks.
我能给你提出很多视频素材😅1.英国人都吃冷的吗？2.为什么房东要求我们先有工作再租房？不是工作的地方以家为中心吗？初来乍到不是先安定住处吗？4.如果学校倒闭了，学位费怎么办？5.英国的女孩子很爱美吗？
我觉得英国的文化魅力十足， 让生活其中的人觉得自己的未来有无限的可能。。
I feel Sussie's voice sounds much nicer when she is speaking Chinese, she is born to be a Chinese speaker!!! 😊
On the other hand, some Chinese girls sounds so mean when they are talking w/ Chinese.
i really agree with what you said about the safety in the UK, Susie. it is very interesting
道地英國人入木三分的實用介紹，感謝您！
Ooh....thx a lot 4 your valuable information and its very interesting as well.Great...I enjoy hearing that from a native in UK who is also have a excellent knowledge of chinese language.! Cool !
Regarding English, adapting to non-native accents is more difficult to me. I would say listening to Indian accent is quite challenging as they usually speak very fast and their intonation is quite different from standard accent. 😅
A tip for listening to Indian accent is, they don't different T and D, like Desk, they pronounced as Tesk, etc.
Thanks for sharing. I still learning how to live others things including English.
I had been to UK five years ago and I agree to what you had said in this video.
这些话题真的很有用，每一条都对应得上我在英国的学习生活经历，对英语学习者建立信心很有帮助。
😄，说到houseproud，不知道现在Hove Actually 这句玩笑话还在流行吗？😉
On the way to apply for PhD in the UK 💪 thanks
Very good information for new comers to the UK! 👍👍
Banter這個在香港大家都是這樣相處lol
來倫敦快要一年，真的非常厭惡這個地方（希望未來有機會改變對他的看法），我有超多鬼故事可以講。
住過瑞典中國韓國美國跟台灣，這裡最不方便，莫名其妙的事情最多！超不人性化，還莫名不知道在驕傲什麼
我覺得很多英國人很假，嘴巴說會做會做 ，實際上都不做，懶成這樣還喜歡對別人說教，超級爆炸沒有禮貌！這是我在學校跟教職人員打交道的感覺
真的出一張嘴大師
如果你去歐洲其他地方旅遊，跟你說一個最快跟別人變好朋友的方法：就是批評英國人
英國人在其他歐洲人的心中reputation超差，我問過Ｎ個人了，百試不厭。
倫敦這裡的房子隔音都超差（想必英國其他地方也是），差到無法想像的地步，很多惡質房東，聽香港朋友說押金拿不回來是常態
我上週去蘇格蘭隔壁剛好坐一位蓋房子的男人，我也跟他談到這問題，他說：啊我們用的都是超便宜的材料，反正不會倒就好
還有很多英國老男人出租自己的房間，但指定要年輕女房客，這種post也很常見，卻不用受道德指責
英國最有名的準則應該要是：expensive price, average quality 在這裡花大錢也未必會買到有品質的東西，通常就是超普通的東西，房子也是一樣
我的朋友家冷氣壞了，來修理的人跟她說：這壞了，你要去買一台新的，他什麼都沒做，收了200鎊檢查費
學校的project常常在講什麼社會責任講得這麼高大上，結果回收也很少人在做，身為一個進步國家連基本的環保都做不好（雖然美國也是浪費大國）
但我真的很傻眼，亞洲國家這麼努力做回收（韓國嚴格地跟什麼一樣，還會翻你家垃圾出來檢查，會罰錢），你一個先進國家國家在那邊添亂！
倫敦市中心的bar 11點就關了，11點後沒地方去，只能去clubbing，不想clubbing就沒地方去
很多百貨公司晚上六點就關了，包含假日，平日要上班的人根本沒辦法逛，真的是神秘！
在英國旅遊住bnb的體驗也最差，洗到一半還會沒熱水，而且沒看過入住須知長到像論文ㄧ樣，根本折磨房客
倫敦到處都超臭超髒
真心希望大家不要來，這裡真的沒有這麼好！
最後，歧視是存在的，我的英國女室友（他們都還是大學生）因為廚房瑣事打了印度室友巴掌，還嗆她：你的英文我聽不懂
旁邊站著的另一個英國女完全站著沒有幫忙，
我後來立刻寫信跟學校抗議，
學校還問我們：你們要不要搬到其他宿舍？ 為什麼是我們搬家而不是打人的人搬
據我所知這個同學後來也並沒有受到任何懲罰
這麼年輕的孩子依然有歧視問題，何況年紀大的？
不能否認這裡有好人，我也有遇到，但是不好的人比其他地方多太多了！
Susie很抱歉，我知道你很好，你一定是來自很棒的家庭，但你的同胞們真的不太ok!
不過要幫蘇格蘭人跟威爾斯人平凡一下，根據我的田野調查，英格蘭人是最奇耙的一群。（但我自己覺得蘇格蘭人也是偏驕傲的，但沒那麼怪異）
你以为欧陆和英美打了几个世纪为了什么。美国比英国更加能装而已，当然分地方。
我聽過住倫敦以外的英國人說, 住倫敦的英國人最不英國 (least British)
英國人的素質真的一言難盡......，只能提醒大家不要對他們抱有太多不切實際的幻想
I have been there for a month .. I feel 🇬🇧 people are nice❤
Thank you very much for your sharing on British culture. It is very useful . As mentioned in your video, you mentioned that we have to be more careful at night. At this point, I have thought of the weather in UK. As the sky turns dark a bit earlier sometimes even turning dark in the afternoon during winter . I am thinking if it would be more dangerous for kids/ young teenagers to go around by themselves even in the afternoon during winter. Thank you ! 🙏
I will be traveling to UK soon and hope to take pictures with you. 😊
謝謝妳，很受用！
Thank you susie ! I’m going to a boarding school in england next year and this helps !
My phone was pickpocketed in London, and also was robbed by a guy on bike for twice within just 8 months. My friend’s phone also robbed by a guy on a bike in London too. I’m very alert on the street now. Don’t use phone and walk close to the road. Be careful even when you are using phone to search maps. Using earphone is easy to become target too.
Thank you for your sharing, it is useful.
I remember that when I was in London. At the Friday's and Saturday's night, people were likely to be drunk anyway. Hahahaha
And I should be careful whilst I passed by them.
Yey, Susie is doing this!!!
the BNO scheme for ppl who born after 1997 will be launched in this month ,Hongkongers can seize this opportunity to move to the UK~
good video mate
老師好😊
非常有用
I love your channel.
Thanks, Susie.
Could you take us to Rugby League World Cup somewhere in England (like Manchester)?
l love 英國🇬🇧
@susiewooenglish
Is it considered British humour if someone laughs at you for speaking or if you don't understand English?
Very informative
thank you for sharing really useful for new comers
Have you been to Yorkshire love? I’ll meet you at York station. Bring some lard and plenty of money! Looking forward! Don’t worry about qlrpf etc up ere!!!
我bloody愛妳！
Can you talking about how to make local friends in the UK without able to speak very good English?
請問可從台灣寄隱形眼鏡到英國嗎？
喜歡戴舒萱😘
Scotland 在2023年 是不是準備舉行 獨立公投 然後加入EU ? 最新的民調投贊成票的可能超越50%了, 在前英國女皇Elizabeth走了之後, 還有趁著英國Liz Truss內閣 大亂之際, 蘇格蘭人趁勢追擊？ "Scotland independence vote could be held next October, says Nicola Sturgeon", 不過Scotland 只有500萬人口, 但土地遼闊, 『脱英加歐』是否會帶來更好的生活水平呢？
True.
They talk English, but never in the RP accent that we learned;
They're really houseproud, and brag their gardening, cooking, retrofitting garage to bedroom, bedroom to kitchen and kitchen to bathroom in their leisure time. They just have nothing else to do;
Yes, this is prejudice, based on the observations over them, sorry.
In non-city areas, there can be almost no street lights, which could be quite dangerous. If you don't want to be dogged, bring a tactical torch with you.
我喜欢英音 比美音好听多了 比澳洲英文还有南非的英文都好听
香港已走10多萬BNO移民去英國。
Here (hk), i'd freely without much concern to go out at very night time for jogging in practically anywhere i'd like to go to. So, do you mean that it is not a good idea to go for walking in a park in UK?
Parks are usually not well-lit as Hong Kong, won't prefer to walk in park at night
倫敦真的小偷很多 警察似乎也不怎麼在乎 兩年前在倫敦的Pret被偷了後背包 裡面有兩台筆電跟護照 快要氣死😢
曾經跟朋友的新婚兒子笑說“什麼時候生個孩子？”。然後，我被那年輕人噴得一面屁。我的朋友不好意思說兒子，於是滿堂的尷尬。可能這就是代溝和文化的不同。之後大家沒再來往過。磨蝕人心，人與人之間只會越來越冷漠。
是不是反应过度了
@@JallahBomber 還說是自少在英國和加拿大留學的哦。
i am curious why The UK's not so safe. because too many immigrants from poor countries？
在Colmar，和法国人只能用德语交流😓
Even I have no intentions on living in the Great Britain, having a better knowledge on English language is definitely the most important part when living or studying there.
What's the different between banter and toast? 🤔
Susie
Your putonghua is excellent
Every time listen to your channel
Can't help feeling you are language pro!
You can read the chinese characters too
Brilliant
We write so little now due to the use of phone
Losing chinese character word by word
Alarming …
It's a good time to visit UK, as GBP is getting dirt cheap. Thanks Truss, keep it up!
漂亮的小轩 你的中文讲的真好 我来英国也有十几年了 但是英文还是讲不好 能不能推荐几本英语初级的书籍 谢谢
throw out all those non English books and apps of yours.
About English….
Can I say to a British that “Can you use a proper accent?”😆
你的英文名字是 Susie Della 吗？
up主的样子很像前prime minister
Any chance we will see you visiting Asia sometime soon?
我会说英语和日语。
Privacy 這部分台灣人可能需要適當檢討了，因為隱私問太多細節真的我也不喜歡
所以我不挑倫敦住
10th like✌️
英语和汉语都这么好啊，厉害了。
说起英国的犯罪率，我就想起福尔摩斯😅
英國人都用whatsapp比較多嗎?
I just move to live in London for 1-year studying. Now I live with a local 42 years old woman, but I do not really like her :( She always likes to tell others what things we can put at public place, and what things cannot just because she think that it is not beautiful for her. Besides, she really likes to raise lots of plants, but she seldom clean up the dried leaves... and I think there are around 50% of whole things which belong to this woman in this house. Above all what I said, I think that I still can tolerate, but the worst is her live habits! After cooking and having a meal, she does not like to clean immediately, and always like to put them several hours later or even tomorrow... and after cleaning, there are still some food residue on the tableware:') Moreover, when we argue something about these, she just said that all of roommates do not appreciate what she did for this house? she think that she makes a really comfortable living environment. (Actually, I think that she does little to this house, and she just does what she needs and likes... Since I live in this house one month ago, I never saw her clean this house, like mopping floors and taking out the trash.)
So, all in all, I cannot understand why she always like to ask others not to do something, but she can? and why a person has lived 42 year, but she still does not know how to clean and wash tableware... how a dirty woman :)
戴舒萱喜欢中国哪个城市？
想搬到直布羅陀
我在ig上看到一个人跟你长得一模一样。
UK is a great country，but if you want to obtain a ILR is extremely hard now expect you are Irish.
