      You are welcome
      It is funny hearing you say the American words.
      Your voice suits the UK words.

    Hello from Spain Gill!
    One of my best friends told me about your TH-cam channel and here I am! Addicted to your masterclasses!!!
    Let me give you a thousand thank yous for sharing your knowledge with all the world, and most of all, for free!!!
    Your accent is The accent! I wouldn't like to use any other! It's clear and has the perfect pace and the right volume! Good for me and all the English students all around the world!
    I'm visiting the UK for the first time next September! I've practised English with all kind of non native English speakers all over the years but This will be the first time live! Oh my! I'm really scared!!! If only all the British people would speak just like you! I really do love your accent!
    Thank you for all the hard work here and a Big thank you for sharing it with the whole world! You're a blessing! Best wishes for you and yours! Greetings from Spain! ❤️

    In Australia we use a mix of British & American terms. Trousers and pants are the same thing. A bin would be inside the house and a rubbish bin, garbage bin or wheelie bin would be outside. Cars have bonnets and boots, not hoods and trunks. We have full stops, holidays and biscuits (unless the latter is choc chip, in which case it's a cookie 😅) We used to say flat, but apartment is used more often these days. We usually say chips, but you'll often see fries on menus.

    In america (especially the south) biscuit refers to a baked breakfast item often eaten kinda like a sandwich with either jam, ham, or butter inside. One of my favorites

    Hello from West Virginia! Your wonderful videos are helping me see English from a new perspective.
    We use the word trousers here. It implies church clothes or dress pants. Nicer pants than jeans.

    Hello Gilli, a very interesting lesson, thank you! In India, at one time the British English/Queen's English for those who went to schools similar to Grammar Schools in the UK, was always spoken without any variation in the language/words. What I find now is the American English, if one may call it 'English'' has gained popularity, mainly due to the internet. It is sometimes hard to distinguish, A from BE because it is all so mixed up 😁😂😃

    Growing up in Newfoundland, the leftover words we still had in common with the UK were biscuits, chips, and shop. Also, we would say often parlour, front room, bonnet (car), garden (yard), road (street), bins but we had it morphed to mean countertop, and emmets for ants, a leftover word from west country England.

    Great video. I as an American would like to add with some of these words it’s not that we don’t use them, but might not use them the same way. Biscuit is something different here. A shop is usually something small and niche like a candy shop or ice cream shop. We also use boutique a lot for this. We also use shop sometimes for places that fix things. College is tricky here because we do tend to generically say college but some of our colleges aren’t universities because they only offer associate’s degrees. We say college to describe sections within a university. I attended a university and was a student within the College of Liberal Arts.
    I hear us use rubbish to mean nonsense or perhaps unwanted. “She’s talking rubbish” or we say “good riddance to bad rubbish.”
    I hope that wasn’t too confusing. ❤

    Words like cancel,travel,channel,funnel,fuel,dial among others, always end in (LL) in British English. for example, Lisa channelled all her energies into the project.

    Dear Ma'am Gill,
    The lesson on British and American vocabulary was quite interesting.In India,when we speak in English,we use words from both the categories,American as well as British.
    Boot also means a kind of heavy pair of shoes which generally covers a major portion of our legs.
    We come across the word 'boot' in the fable ' Puss In The Boots'.
    Way back as a kid,when i used to travel with my parents,we would carry a big iron box with us to keep our clothes etc and call it a 'trunk'.
    Some of these words do bring back the sweet old memories of the then times.
    Ma'am,i am really thankful to you for coming up with nice and interesting English lessons ! 😊
