[@DactylicHexameter]

As a native speaker of American English, I find it very interesting to see the differences between American English and British English. “good on you” is something an American would never say. Whereas “good for you” is something an American would often say. An American would say “well done”, but never say “well done you.” I don’t think an American would say “good show” or “Jolly good show”, which sounds extremely British to me. it’s very interesting to see the small differences. I love your videos. You have a delightful air about you and you’re an excellent teacher. By the way, “go get ‘em, tiger” is extremely informal and playful in American English. Once again, thanks for the wonderful videos.

[@RainerEberhardt]

You are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for the inspiration. As for the little quirks in German, you wouldn't keep your fingers crossed, but "press your thumbs" - not against each other, but each one individually against the side of the index finger. You may shake one or both fists along with that. You would pat someone on the back when they have choked and pat them on the shoulder when they have done something particularly well.

[@rolycastellini]

Hello Lucy, This is Roly Castelliny from Cuba. First of all, I love your lessons, I've improved my vocabulary so far, and even my understanding when hearing British language (which I prefer, it's like music to my ears) It is funny but I also enjoy your intro so much, don't ever change it please hahaha. I want it to thank you for your videos and your interest on spreading your knowledge to us, in order to improve our english skills. I'm thankful!!!! Wish you well and all the best of the world!

Hi Lucy, I'm your internet student on KZbin, from Indonesia, I love to learn British English it's because of you, how you can speak properly that I can understand. I already see your video maybe 2 years ago I think and I subscribe to you maybe 1-year ago😅. I just want to thank you so much, that I can learn many many words in British even I don't see your video, I hear some podcast surprisingly I understand that I hope you want to make some podcast in the future (?). Anyway, I hope you have a great day with your husband Will, have a long-lasting relationship, Amen.❤

Yes, "fingers crossed" is the same in Italian. We literally say "incrociamo le dita". Such a great video, you're always the best!

Hi Lucy, I've heard a slightly different story behind "Break a leg", I wonder if anyone can confirm: "Break a leg!" was wished to the actors who were going to audition for a role. Which meant they would end up in the "Cast".

Hi. Lucy, I came from Beijing, now in Australia for 25 years on. I leant English from a teenager starting from International Phonetic Alphabet. This is said the " standard " English pronounciation. Very close to British accent. In Chinese languiage, the standard or official spoken Chinese languiage is Mandarin, while Beijing accent is one of dialects but very close to Mandarin. I sometimes come across British English speaking people. I feel a bit hard to understand them because their English is not standard. But your British English sounds a standard English that I leant from start. Therefore I understand every and each of your word!

[@kaootik]

In Estonian we also say instead of 'good luck!': - nail to the tire! (similar to break a leg) - a stone in your bag! (similar to break a leg) - wind to your wings (as in fly high, good luck) - holding my thumb (as in tucking your thumb in your fist brings good luck) - When someone is having a test or an exam, we say 'happy flunking!!" (again wishing bad luck for good luck) (Edit) With congratulating (well, with everything, really) we use a much more toned down choice of words than you'd use in English. 'Sensational' or 'you're a genius' are something one would use in rare cases when something is actually absolutely phenomenal. It could also be used by someone on a more casual incident if that person is very high energy and bubbly as a person in general. The same toned down vocabulary (in comparison to English) is used in other aspects, too. I remember reading an article about translation fails from Estonian to English where the translator had not considered the difference between the two languages. I think it was an Estonian airplane company or a travelling agency that used a slogan "A Good Flying experience" (or something like that), which in Estonian means that it's a great service but an English speaker might think ...eh? just good? In that case it would have been better to translate it to "An Excellent Flying experience" or something similar to really emphasize the quality of the service.

Hi

[@learnturkisheasily9038]

I was blown away for your pronunciation.

[@magdalenamilivojac6629]

In Italian we say "incrociare le dita" for cross your fingers and in Serbian we say "Држити неком ралчеве" pronounced drziti nekom palceve (the z of drziti has an accent above with the shape of a v and the c of palceve has a particular accent I can't find in the standard keyboard a sort of v placed above the c). As always I have learnt something new thank you 🍀

[@marypiano3346]

In Poland we say: "Trzymam kciuki" which means I keep my thumbs. We usually don't keep our fingers crossed, but keep our thumbs. It's like showing your thumbs up and then tucking them into the whole.
