I knew the difference because in my country we also say toilet. I didn't know that in London you have to wait in line to sit at a table in a Cafe, but I sat down as soon as the guests got up, so they looked at me strangely.
I live in Australia, and a lot of the signage here says “restrooms”. However, people normally just say bathroom or toilet for a room with a toilet whether or not it has a shower in it.
i've been to the U.S.of A as well as the U.K and I don't know for which reason I found a lot of similararies. to me it was like a mixture between the american atmosphere with this europeen vibes as well. It's very difficult to explain what I felt but I love it. I love brighton. It's where I got my best fish and chips on the peers. I love camden town as well. thanks for this story. I really enjoy all of your stories.
I knew the differences since I study American, British and Australian english. Once in class I used a British word "Hollibob" for the American word "vacation". I often use Australian english, and my teachers get confused for instance yesterday in class I said " I'm knackered " and they were confused what I mean which actually means in American english "iam tired".
Teacher congratulations the way that express yourself is amazing, bravo!!!, and if I can take a trip from abroad maybe it will be British islands 😅, I like the culture but tbh I rather American accent 😊
I didn't know about the difference between restroom and toilet Us X England. I have watched the Downtown Abby to listen British English, I really like the british accent. I know now if I will go there 😁
I love it the way you tried to take a british accent. The bathroom is the restroom you have at home because there is the bath. In england to say restroom they say the loo and that's make me laugh because their train station is called waterloo I wonder where it comes from.
In England Toilet means both. So if you said ‘the toilet is broken’. You mean the thing people sit on. If you say, ‘they’re in the toilet’ you mean the room.
I'm Korean learnt English in Australia. Toilet is just a place for you know that... And I didn't have any feeling using the word there and after. Aussie and British just say Toilet, I'm going to the toilet.... But In North America, it was not common and some people think it's a rude. I'm verryyy confused with American and British English. 😂 in fact, I prefer to saying toilet instead of restroom though. I'll say restroom or washroom or bathroom not to get American upset in America. 😄
I was asking if americains can understnad scotich people. once i heard a man from scotland speaking and honestlyu i didn'it get any letter hhhhh I was asking about whether Americans can understand people from Scotland. I recall an occasion when I listened to a Scottish man speak, and truthfully, I had a hard time understanding some of the words.
The typical Brit on holiday would still tend to use the word toilet just out of sheer bloody mindedness. It is what it is. It's not like you're going to take a bath, or have a rest.
Did you already know these differences? Have you had an experience like mine?

Isn't it interesting all the differences. That's how it is in the USA too. There is usually a sign that says, "Please wait to be seated"
American racist 😡

Great to see you here, Vera! I love Downtown Abbey! We should talk about it soon!

I never thought of that. If you find out, let me know.

In France we say as well : Où sont les toilettes svp ? It is a polite way.
I took a little French and I would say your pronunciation of this words sounds much nicer than the English pronunciation!
🙏
Thank you

It can be really confusing!
What about WC?

The Scottish accent is difficult even for some Americans. Don't worry. The more you learn and listen, different accents will get easier.
❤❤❤
Thank you
I decided to stop calling the bathroom "John" and renamed it "Jim".
I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning ...
- Moscow, Russia
LOL! That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that!
Which english do you prefer to speak?
Iam always confused between British, American and Australian english!
I am an American so I speak American English naturally but I love the British accent!

Teacher, please, the audio is very low, can you turn it up a little, thank you 👍
I am working on this. Thank you for letting me know.
sorry to give my opinion. Did you know that you can speed the video?
Thank you, Vera. That's good information.
