As a french person, I found this interresting. When we speak english, we used to mix up both british english and american english. I prefer american english accent, it's much easier to understand
Bonjour, Ça dépend pour qui, perso je comprends les 2 mais j'ai préférence très nette pour les accents britanniques. Mais c'est un fait incontestable que nous sommes beaucoup plus exposés à l'anglais américain, même les britanniques subissent cette influence.
I think it has to do with how we fully express some letters that British people don't. (i.e. Americans pronounce party (la teuf) as "Par-tee", while lots of British say "Pah-tee"). When you fully express all the sounds as they're written, it's easier for a foreigner to understand as they learn. Same reason why as a learner of French I have a better time of understanding French from France instead of whatever gobbledygook they speak in Quebec.
@@InstantEnglishUK Because the UK added their extra "U" sound to so many words, if your English was considered real English, consider it disqualified lol.
The girl at 2:10 wearing the light blue sweater saying "let's have a cup of tea and watch the telly", that was actually unbelievably good. Even down to the intonation, very well done.
"One thing they haven't made cooler..." "Cool" being slang for awesome is from the USA. Bro is using American slang unironically while trashing American English.

An American friend of mine once studied abroad in Birmingham. On her first day their she caught a bus into the city and, after walking around all day seeing the city, she was very fatigued as she waited at a bus stop to go back to her new flat/apartment. When an elderly gentleman approached and waited beside her, she felt obligated to say something friendly to him. She wanted to express her state of fatigue by saying how tired her rear was, but she felt the word "butt" was too crude so instead she used a more quaint American expression, turning to him and saying, "My fanny is SO sore!"

I'm French, and tbh we don't really make the difference either. Some people who are more meticulous about geography and country name will care to precise Northern Ireland, but generally speaking the two are seen as the same thing? I don't really know how to explain it, it's a very special case. I think we mostly don't understand what's going on and why there's two half of a country, why there is the need to precise "hey I'm talking about the northerners", because it's just not something we learn. And from what we know of the countries, our opinion on Northern Ireland is pretty different from North Korea, which is another example of a country being split in two. We definitely do make the difference between north and south here. 😂 But the two Irelands seem chill af, so we generally don't see the difference between them and use Ireland indifferently without realizing it may be offensive or incorrect, actually.
I'm from Northern Ireland lol - it all started about 400 years ago or something when the English invaded Ireland. Now the two countries are divided. Protestant and Catholic views separate the two countries. Every 12th of July in Northern Ireland there's a huge celebration to celebrate King William of Orange or something - to celebrate his victory over the Catholics. I don't really care about it lol. Have you heard of Belfast before? Well, East & South Belfast are protestant and North & West belfast are catholic - so theres a bit of fighting. However, the one cool like about being Northern Irish is that we have 3 nationalities. I can choose whether to be British, Northern Irish or Irish and it will still be valid lol.
@@Capyrate Due to colonialism, currently there are 6 counties of Northern Ireland that are part of the country named the United Kingdom. The rest of Ireland is the country of Ireland. The independent republic in the EU.
As a Kazakhstani, I can say from the fact that I myself am interested in English for my studies and work - we were taught British English at school. The textbooks had drawings of London, red double-decker buses, a Big Ben, and the flag of Great Britain. I am currently attending English language courses in Kazakhstan (I am from the small town of Ekibastuz), we are taught here to distinguish but use both versions of the English language (both British English and American English).
Mi primer idioma es español soy un joven de 16 y e estudiado los 2 inglés y me parecen muy interesantes parecidos las diferencias son mínimas es como los diferentes acentos que tenemos en el Español
1 thing that I really liked so much is that all these people have been so jolly and respectful during the conversation. Is it the same with most of the americans? if it is, I think that's a great thing as I'll soon be visiting America for the first time in my life.
We have our moments. Most usually good if not trying to make commuter connections during rush hour. Left side of escalators reserved for commuters. Common courtesy. Some missed connections could mean a wait of more than 10 minutes. Some commuter rail (the ones that look like real trains vice the Metro) have to share the track with CSX aka freight trains. So aside from the anxiety of that, we’re usually quite accommodating.
I from Russia and... Yeah, we learning British English and understanding American too. I'm 15 years old and I ( not so cool, like my classmates ) understand the structure of English sentences. Your content is very good, I like it. So I didn't use the translator, when written all of that. ( Don't remember, V3(written) or V2(wrote) there must to be ) Бмять фуйню какую-то начеркал... Не кидайтесь камнями)
As a Spaniard I do understand pavement and sidewalk, rubbish and trash... for me, every word variation is just another example of English. I also use Mexican or Argentinian words when speaking Spanish. I think this behavior has something to do with how open minded someone is. I also prefer to discuss things that we all have in common, as to point out our differences. We all have to eat, sleep, work and take care of our loved ones, so it doesn´t matter what country you were born in. It just makes things be easier or harder, but at the end we all will overcome some day... hey, you guys from the video, you all were just amazing...!
Well, apartment is a more common word throughout the world. Spanish - apartamento Portuguese - apartamento Italian - appartamento French - appartement Romanian - apartament Korean - 아파트 (apatu) Japanese - アパート(apatu) American - apartment British - "you are all wrong!"
I'm an English teacher (specializing in American English) and it was a lot of fun to watch it and to try to guess what those phrases meant in British. I gotta say I'm still learning English actually because I'm not from America, and it helped me improve my vocabulary in American English as well (I'm taking notes in a notebook haha).
As I am new in the English language and I live in a country where only Spanish is spoken, I am happy with myself because I was able to understand the whole video. I also love the fun method you use to help people to learn the language. Greetings from Colombia! ;)
Such a nice video. Very interesting, entertaining and informative at the same time. I really enjoyed and had fun! 🥰👍. Amanda was best of all. Thanks for sharing it.
Excelent and interesting video bro... ps: this is my first time watching a video in english without subtittles and i am so happy for that... Sometimes i can make mistakes, but i think is part of the experience... Obviously i need to improve my english
i never thought americans couldnt read basic sentences in british english, that literally made me shocked or perhaps they just tried to imitate the accent and as a turkish i almost never have tried to divide them in 2 different languages but now i see its not like that for americans
the rest of the world used to beleive that english language belong to the American people instead of England, so much respect the way you create this bro, from Madagascar
I just finished watching a documentary centered around events in the Yorkshire area (Bradford, Leeds, etc) and something that jumped out at me is that those folks substitute “were” where yanks say “was”, so when I go back to work, I’m going to start using that when I talk to my former RAF co-workers.
I watch so much stuff that takes place in and around Yorkshire that I often say were instead of was (and I'm American). Check out Happy Valley... some of the best TV out there! Side note, Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) is from up north and sang Coldplay's "Yellow" for a charity album. She has such a thick accent normally that people were joking it wasn't her singing because she should have sung, "... and it were all yellow..." Which is how I sing it when I hear it, now.
It was really amazing, I really loved it, well most of my friends speak or follow American English , but I personally feel proud with British English and prefer not to use American while speaking and writing . My favorite accent is "Northern " , not getting myself into "London accent "
It's not about preferences, I just think american english is easier for me to understand, but if I was able, I would love speaking like a british person !!!
I am glad this was more about trivia and common phrases and how the what the vocab means in context, and less about the way each languages differ using specific words. That whole argument annoys the hell outta me, it's like comparing Russian and Ukrainian because they share a lot of similarities as Slavic languages, with Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus being the most similar out of the Slavic languages with the differences growing the further West you go. It is a pointless toxic argument that as I have seen it get more sincere with putting down the other's language, and I am not picking but I see it more often in the UK side being more antagonistic, and just for lack of a better way to put it shitty about their language being better, makes more sense, etc. It is just needless toxicity when Language evolves over time and distance anyway and American English has become it's own thing. Also it is fun to point out that if we are going by seniority then English is derived from a West Germanic language and it would be a never ending train back until the dawn of language arguing that way. I felt the need to give you props for not making this another rage bait video, this was a lot better than I was expecting as TH-cam and rage bait has conditioned me at this point, I mean I am fully expecting the Aluminum vs Aluminium debate again which is the stupidest of them all since it went through many variations and was coined aluminum by the guy who first isolated it and published as aluminum and a bunch of other countries, France, Germany, and Sweden, etc but they pushed to have ium added to the end to make it sound more "classic" and match the other elements and for a while all around the world everyone couldn't decide and honestly Alumium first, argued against by Germany, Sweden, and France due to issues with the latin naming convention, Davies, the guy who isolated it published a textbook with Aluminum in 1811, then the next year in 1812 his book would be criticized by a British scientist who used the "classic sound" argument at first even though the UK was using Aluminum interchangeably and the US used Aluminium from the start and somewhere during the back and forth over the next century it switched full any now we have Aluminum and the UK has aluminium. But I am also leaving out a LOT of nuance and other parts of the story, it is crazy and it has a more complex naming process and disagreements than people expect. I need to share that because that is the most common dig at American English when both languages have no fuckin clue what they are doing and can't agree as a whole on which word to use to technically not a UK word, or a US word as everyone couldn't decide. Either way its why the rage bait videos get me irritated, like I know they are rage bait. But the thing that gets me is the thing that is getting me is not the intentional rage they bait for, I am fuckin got just because most of these mf have no idea about the words they are using. Shit blows when you keep catching literal strays from a mf doing it without knowing he's doing it. Soccer v football is another prime example. It is either Aluminum or Soccer that the UK laughs at the US about but everyone that does never knows that the UK coined the word soccer as an evolution of its original form socca which was used as slang to abbreviate the word association in the fuckin Football association, from my understanding (though I haven't heard it personally since I don't talk sports with my UK friends) is similar to the term rugger from rugby. Also fun fact it became socca because the first three letters of association don't make a good nickname, so socca is the next best thing, and it went down the societal pipeline till barely anybody knows where the word came from the the MF who made it make fun of us for using it. But either way I ranted enough, this video was a breath of fresh air, keep it chill man 🤙
The country that put the first people on the moon gets to decide what proper English is, and we get to decide what system of measurement we use as well. I just made that rule up, but I think its fair.
im 11 years old and im vietnamese, i speak english but both british and american and i understand them all (even though the prouniciation on them is different). Amanda she nailed it
The Massachusetts lady was honestly seriously impressive, I rarely hear anyone replicate an English accent that sounds natural, but she sounded like someone from the the South pretty much exactly
American pronunciation and spellings tend to be more true to the original Germanic roots of the words. British English tends to be more informed by the French spellings because of the Norman invasion. So American English is technically the closest thing to original English that we have today.
@@Tony-lj5lr I know. I didn’t mention Noah Webster or any other influence on American English that would have made it different from British dialect because I figured most people that read my comment would be able to figure things out by context clues and basic logic because they don’t lack brain cells and possess an extra pair of chromosomes like you.
English is a unique combination of Germanic (actually Scandinavian) and French that was formed in England, hence the word English. English is not German - it is a fusion language and American is certainly not closer to it’s original manifestation
@@loveroflife1914, both American and English accents are a modern invention, but the closest to that of several hundreds of years ago is English, regional accents like those in the West Country and those in the North
I like the fact that British English are pronounced more letters than in American English, it makes it more easier for us (brazilians) to learn because in brazilian portuguese all letters (literally) are pronounced...
I don't know. It's a bit extreme between sounding like a member of the Royal Family or like a cockney. a neutral accent is somewhere inbetween. Also there are so many accents in the UK that don't sound like this at all - Birmingham, Newcastle, Lancashire, West Country, Yorkshire, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish - just loads. They did very well with the slang though.
I'm not an English speaker but even I liked it. It was fun, great video. The questions were interesting, maybe only question about UK Countries was pretty easy.
@@minimongo9560 i do actually have an idea, I live in Danmark and it often gets mixed up with the other scandinavian countries. I dont get angry when people get it wrong so long as they made an effort. Getting offended over smal things like that is just folly
Regarding the national anthem... The correct answer is "I don't know" or "There is none, trick question!" God save the king is the UK's national anthem. There is no official English national anthem. There are several contenders, though, and the England football team use "Jerusalem".
This was so cool 'n' funny. Just loved it. Couldn't help imaging doing this with other languages like German spoken in Germany 'n' the one spoken in Austria, Portuguese from Portugal 'n' from Brazil 'n' last but not least French spoken in Canada 'n' the one spoken in France...eheheh
As a Russian, I can say that the American pronunciation is easier for me to understand, despite the fact that we study British English in schools...
I don't mean anything bad, it's just kinda like... my sensation, I guess? Actually, I really like both accents ❤

Nice video! Thank you for existing really, your video brighten up my morning! Had a blast watching
Glad to hear it
I was surprised they didn't differ Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪
I'm French, and tbh we don't really make the difference either. Some people who are more meticulous about geography and country name will care to precise Northern Ireland, but generally speaking the two are seen as the same thing?
I don't really know how to explain it, it's a very special case. I think we mostly don't understand what's going on and why there's two half of a country, why there is the need to precise "hey I'm talking about the northerners", because it's just not something we learn.
And from what we know of the countries, our opinion on Northern Ireland is pretty different from North Korea, which is another example of a country being split in two. We definitely do make the difference between north and south here. 😂
But the two Irelands seem chill af, so we generally don't see the difference between them and use Ireland indifferently without realizing it may be offensive or incorrect, actually.
I'm from Northern Ireland lol - it all started about 400 years ago or something when the English invaded Ireland. Now the two countries are divided. Protestant and Catholic views separate the two countries. Every 12th of July in Northern Ireland there's a huge celebration to celebrate King William of Orange or something - to celebrate his victory over the Catholics. I don't really care about it lol. Have you heard of Belfast before? Well, East & South Belfast are protestant and North & West belfast are catholic - so theres a bit of fighting. However, the one cool like about being Northern Irish is that we have 3 nationalities. I can choose whether to be British, Northern Irish or Irish and it will still be valid lol.
Hi
Hopefully some day there will only be three countries in the UK (and after that, hopefully eventually 2)
@@Capyrate Due to colonialism, currently there are 6 counties of Northern Ireland that are part of the country named the United Kingdom. The rest of Ireland is the country of Ireland. The independent republic in the EU.
Yoo, i really enjoyed it! Loved the vibe so much.
As a Kazakhstani, I can say from the fact that I myself am interested in English for my studies and work - we were taught British English at school. The textbooks had drawings of London, red double-decker buses, a Big Ben, and the flag of Great Britain. I am currently attending English language courses in Kazakhstan (I am from the small town of Ekibastuz), we are taught here to distinguish but use both versions of the English language (both British English and American English).
Learn the proper one, Australian English, when you have mastered the beginner versions ;)
big fan of borat mate
You're English is really good! Keep going, my friend.
I have been watching Olympics, Kazakhstanis are good at wrestling and boxing. And exporting potassium. All other countries have inferior potassium.

Not minimal at all you need to learn more.
Really love your videos ! They're not only useful but super entertaining🥰
1 thing that I really liked so much is that all these people have been so jolly and respectful during the conversation. Is it the same with most of the americans? if it is, I think that's a great thing as I'll soon be visiting America for the first time in my life.

We have our moments. Most usually good if not trying to make commuter connections during rush hour. Left side of escalators reserved for commuters. Common courtesy. Some missed connections could mean a wait of more than 10 minutes. Some commuter rail (the ones that look like real trains vice the Metro) have to share the track with CSX aka freight trains. So aside from the anxiety of that, we’re usually quite accommodating.
Kid from Tyler definitely got some British decent, he's got the particular eccentricity I've seen so much before.
What’s really funny is how that guy has started singing Mendelssohn’s wedding march

As a Spaniard I do understand pavement and sidewalk, rubbish and trash... for me, every word variation is just another example of English. I also use Mexican or Argentinian words when speaking Spanish. I think this behavior has something to do with how open minded someone is. I also prefer to discuss things that we all have in common, as to point out our differences. We all have to eat, sleep, work and take care of our loved ones, so it doesn´t matter what country you were born in. It just makes things be easier or harder, but at the end we all will overcome some day... hey, you guys from the video, you all were just amazing...!
Well, apartment is a more common word throughout the world.
Spanish - apartamento
Portuguese - apartamento
Italian - appartamento
French - appartement
Romanian - apartament
Korean - 아파트 (apatu)
Japanese - アパート(apatu)
American - apartment
British - "you are all wrong!"
Maybe because in Britain the first apartments were all on one floor, so they were "flat", as opposed to a larger house or building?
The guy from Tyler NEEDS his own show!!!! He's hilarious and really genuine! 😂
I'm an English teacher (specializing in American English) and it was a lot of fun to watch it and to try to guess what those phrases meant in British.
I gotta say I'm still learning English actually because I'm not from America, and it helped me improve my vocabulary in American English as well (I'm taking notes in a notebook haha).
Please don't teach people American English. 😅

BEST GOOD LUCK YOU GOT THIS!!
i never thought americans couldnt read basic sentences in british english, that literally made me shocked or perhaps they just tried to imitate the accent and as a turkish i almost never have tried to divide them in 2 different languages but now i see its not like that for americans
So you think a few people who are probably uncomfortable on camera got nervous and read wrong represents the entire country?
The USA and the UK are two entirely different cultures. The language has taken two different paths accordingly.

As a foreginer American english is best for me it is easy to speak and it is understandble around the world
British English is understood in more English speaking countries.
Daniel is very expressive, he should make a channel.
the rest of the world used to beleive that english language belong to the American people instead of England, so much respect the way you create this bro, from Madagascar
I just finished watching a documentary centered around events in the Yorkshire area (Bradford, Leeds, etc) and something that jumped out at me is that those folks substitute “were” where yanks say “was”, so when I go back to work, I’m going to start using that when I talk to my former RAF co-workers.
I watch so much stuff that takes place in and around Yorkshire that I often say were instead of was (and I'm American). Check out Happy Valley... some of the best TV out there! Side note, Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) is from up north and sang Coldplay's "Yellow" for a charity album. She has such a thick accent normally that people were joking it wasn't her singing because she should have sung, "... and it were all yellow..." Which is how I sing it when I hear it, now.
@@EricaGamet🤫
'Were' is the subjunctive of 'was' and is correctly used after the use of a conditional verb. For example, one would say "If I were you".
Now Daniel was off his trolley 😂😂😂
It was really amazing, I really loved it, well most of my friends speak or follow American English , but I personally feel proud with British English and prefer not to use American while speaking and writing . My favorite accent is "Northern " , not getting myself into "London accent "
It's not about preferences, I just think american english is easier for me to understand, but if I was able, I would love speaking like a british person !!!
FFS. Why is he telling them to speak with a terrible Essex accent? There are millions of accents in the UK. A different accent every 3 miles.
The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well

And after all some people keep saying that “English is a super easy language”??! Thank you for the smashingly funny video! 🤓🤩
Thank you for the lovely comment
it is tought jsj
You'll be forever my inspiration for speak English, Chris. ❤❤❤
I am glad this was more about trivia and common phrases and how the what the vocab means in context, and less about the way each languages differ using specific words. That whole argument annoys the hell outta me, it's like comparing Russian and Ukrainian because they share a lot of similarities as Slavic languages, with Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus being the most similar out of the Slavic languages with the differences growing the further West you go. It is a pointless toxic argument that as I have seen it get more sincere with putting down the other's language, and I am not picking but I see it more often in the UK side being more antagonistic, and just for lack of a better way to put it shitty about their language being better, makes more sense, etc. It is just needless toxicity when Language evolves over time and distance anyway and American English has become it's own thing. Also it is fun to point out that if we are going by seniority then English is derived from a West Germanic language and it would be a never ending train back until the dawn of language arguing that way. I felt the need to give you props for not making this another rage bait video, this was a lot better than I was expecting as TH-cam and rage bait has conditioned me at this point, I mean I am fully expecting the Aluminum vs Aluminium debate again which is the stupidest of them all since it went through many variations and was coined aluminum by the guy who first isolated it and published as aluminum and a bunch of other countries, France, Germany, and Sweden, etc but they pushed to have ium added to the end to make it sound more "classic" and match the other elements and for a while all around the world everyone couldn't decide and honestly Alumium first, argued against by Germany, Sweden, and France due to issues with the latin naming convention, Davies, the guy who isolated it published a textbook with Aluminum in 1811, then the next year in 1812 his book would be criticized by a British scientist who used the "classic sound" argument at first even though the UK was using Aluminum interchangeably and the US used Aluminium from the start and somewhere during the back and forth over the next century it switched full any now we have Aluminum and the UK has aluminium. But I am also leaving out a LOT of nuance and other parts of the story, it is crazy and it has a more complex naming process and disagreements than people expect. I need to share that because that is the most common dig at American English when both languages have no fuckin clue what they are doing and can't agree as a whole on which word to use to technically not a UK word, or a US word as everyone couldn't decide. Either way its why the rage bait videos get me irritated, like I know they are rage bait. But the thing that gets me is the thing that is getting me is not the intentional rage they bait for, I am fuckin got just because most of these mf have no idea about the words they are using. Shit blows when you keep catching literal strays from a mf doing it without knowing he's doing it. Soccer v football is another prime example. It is either Aluminum or Soccer that the UK laughs at the US about but everyone that does never knows that the UK coined the word soccer as an evolution of its original form socca which was used as slang to abbreviate the word association in the fuckin Football association, from my understanding (though I haven't heard it personally since I don't talk sports with my UK friends) is similar to the term rugger from rugby. Also fun fact it became socca because the first three letters of association don't make a good nickname, so socca is the next best thing, and it went down the societal pipeline till barely anybody knows where the word came from the the MF who made it make fun of us for using it. But either way I ranted enough, this video was a breath of fresh air, keep it chill man 🤙
The country that put the first people on the moon gets to decide what proper English is, and we get to decide what system of measurement we use as well. I just made that rule up, but I think its fair.
im 11 years old and im vietnamese, i speak english but both british and american and i understand them all (even though the prouniciation on them is different). Amanda she nailed it
As a Polish I prefer American English. It sounds better and prettier😊
fair enough

Brilliant!
The Massachusetts lady was honestly seriously impressive, I rarely hear anyone replicate an English accent that sounds natural, but she sounded like someone from the the South pretty much exactly
By the way, that double decker bus going by was a nice touch 😄
American pronunciation and spellings tend to be more true to the original Germanic roots of the words. British English tends to be more informed by the French spellings because of the Norman invasion.
So American English is technically the closest thing to original English that we have today.
norman invasion happened centuries before america was even established dude.
@@Tony-lj5lr I know. I didn’t mention Noah Webster or any other influence on American English that would have made it different from British dialect because I figured most people that read my comment would be able to figure things out by context clues and basic logic because they don’t lack brain cells and possess an extra pair of chromosomes like you.
Also, the modern British accent is, well, a modern invention.
English is a unique combination of Germanic (actually Scandinavian) and French that was formed in England, hence the word English. English is not German - it is a fusion language and American is certainly not closer to it’s original manifestation
@@loveroflife1914, both American and English accents are a modern invention, but the closest to that of several hundreds of years ago is English, regional accents like those in the West Country and those in the North

Knowing the language is important n no need to compare which country’s English is best.STOP comparing n START learning
I don't have any objection of accents . i just speak English 😂 i mix words and speak them 😂
important thing is that they understand you ...
I don't know. It's a bit extreme between sounding like a member of the Royal Family or like a cockney. a neutral accent is somewhere inbetween. Also there are so many accents in the UK that don't sound like this at all - Birmingham, Newcastle, Lancashire, West Country, Yorkshire, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish - just loads. They did very well with the slang though.
Enjoyed watching!!🤓🤓

Regarding the national anthem... The correct answer is "I don't know" or "There is none, trick question!"
