yes...i'm a native speaker of American English...i LOVE these vids...JUST FUN...

[@mylearningstuff]

I'm obsessed with your channel, Tom! I mean, totally in love with your videos and explanations. I've been learning American English for more than 10 years and I had serious trouble to understand British accent. I just can say, your channel is helping me to improve and listen to anything more clearly! Thank you sooo much for helping people like me!

[@andrecm8]

Tom, I'm Brazilian and I'm fascinated about the English/British way of speaking. I must confess you I've been learnt a lot watching your videos and first of all I would like to shout it out to you for helping me thriving my English, even you not knowing that. I'd like to learn more British slangs and the most appropriate way to pronounce the words in British accent but, of course, being aware of American, Australian, South African, etc. accents so I can go everywhere and understand almost everything preserving my British accent. I don't have English classes here so I always studied by myself. Therefore, excuse me for my mistakes in writing, I know my English is far away from being really fluent and sometimes it's terrible! But anyway, thanks so much for helping peeps like me to develop our English comprehensions. A big hug on you!

[@xelazer2888]

Tom, thank you so much. You help me a lot for my English. And I really need to improve it. I'm from France but I work in an international environment! And speak English from the morning to the end of the day. So THANK YOU so much. You are a good English teacher !!

[@Swampzoid]

I'm a native English speaker from the the U.S deep south. So, I'm not really here to learn English but I'm learning a lot about English by watching your fantastic videos.

[@jennyc2280]

I’m not actively learning English since I’ve been speaking it for 7 years already but I’ve never once heard deffo. Good job actually surprising me.

[@paulossilva8612]

What a fab vid. I was insecure about the use of those abbreviations, but you brought them to light. Cheers

[@poftim7773]

These words could do with a "slangometer" (0-10 scale of how slangy they are). Carbs and admin would only rate a 1, uni about 2-3, fab maybe a 5-6, but totes, awks and fam would all be around a 9.

[@julialelewel4477]

poftim I was just thinking this haha :)

[@marthaanderson2656]

totally enjoying your videos. I am a native English speaker from NW USA and travel frequently in England. Here we use "U" for university. For most it is speaking of "THE U" as our local university, but sometimes used generically such as I went to UCONN ( university of Connecticut) .

[@EatSleepDreamEnglish]

Ah that's interesting Martha. I've never heard that done over here in the UK. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@heymikeyh9577]

If your from the northwest, you're probably aware of the two main universities in Washington State: Washington State University (WSU), which we call "Wazzu," and University of Washington (UW) which we call "U-Dub."

[@irinak4725]

i often see words cv (Curriculum Vitae), ad, veggie and uni

[@EatSleepDreamEnglish]

Great examples Irina!

[@nickpatella1525]

Differences from American English, or rather, my English vernacular XD (I can't speak for everyone): 1) I pronounce "advertisement" differently! instead of 2) I use "veggie" as a shortened form of "vegetable" 3) I use "admin" as short for "administrator" 4) I've never heard "life admin" 5) I hear "totes" sometimes, but I've never heard or seen "deffo" the rest I hear fairly regularly ^_^ 6) I almost always hear "abs" and not "abdominals"; the latter sounds like a word the doctor would use

[@teresaf.rodrigues8558]

Nick Patella i also say advertisement like you do, it’s probably an American influence. And you might be a tech guy if you think of admin as administrator and not administration 😋

[@iamliamsingleton]

Deffo is very common in the UK. I've never heard it in the US though, so I guess it's not something you guys say. :)

[@carolinefinklea2524]

Love the video! In America we refer to “life admin” as “adulting.”

I am a Texan (specifically Houston). What I learned today - life admin, totes, defo, awks. I have never used and would not have recognized them. Many of the others are the same here or I would have at least known what you meant. Uni is not commonly used here. We would more likely say college.

[@barbarawitkowska4576]

Hi Tom, your information are unique , thanks.

[@EatSleepDreamEnglish]

So happy you enjoyed it Barbara

[@silverstar263]

We (canadians. dnno about americans) call vegetables "veggies" so the phrase "I'm a veggie" has a totally different meaning to me xD

[@EatSleepDreamEnglish]

Ha ha!

[@Freakschwimmer]

Same here, east-midwesterner. "I'm a veggie" kinda sounds like a non-scary halloween costume. "Veggie food" makes sense to me as in great food from Vegetables , thou I wouldn't expect it to be vegetarian. Kinda how you but beacon in green beans, that's still "Veggie Food" in my books.

[@heymikeyh9577]

Ditto in the Pacific Northwest (Washington/Oregon/Idaho) US. We even have a children's cartoon, Veggie Tales with animated vegetables as the characters (maybe to convince children they're not too scary to eat?)

[@danielsaintjames2923]

I'm really enjoying your videos. So much fun to watch. And also to see the difference between American English and British English. By the way Americans don't say Uni for University. In fact they would stare at you blankly if you said you were going to go see your Uni friends. Haha. Also we don't use Veggie to describe a vegetarian person. Only for vegetarian foods. Oh and I've never heard deffo. We certainly don't say that in California. Haha. BTW, you are totes adorbs!

[@lenaw2098]

In American English (at least in my area) in case anyone wants to know... We dont really use Uni...we say college We use veggie as short for vegetables but not vegetarian We use admin as a descriptor of a person....administrative assistant mostly We don't really say totes Fab could be used but its not really used all the time We might use def instead of definitely Never heard anyone say awks or probs :) Others pretty much the same:)

[@davidkeenan5642]

I have a true fondness for my antipodean cousins. I think no nations shorten words more than the Aussies and Kiwis. Kiwis speak is particularly delightful. They're such nice people, it's like some of the best of British were deported or emigrated to Australia, and then some of the best Australians, supplemented by continued British emigrants, moved to New Zealand. Obviously this is not a fact, but I find Australian and New Zealand English speak wonderful to listen to. The language originated here in England, but we, in our small island speak so many variants of it, that I think that it's repulsively ignorant of us to try and claim superiority of people use the language that we introduced to them. My one exception, is how Americans say 'herbs' :-)

Always great videos. Just a minor suggestion: When corresponding with someone or some business of importance...say a bank, University, Government agency or a corporate contact do spell out the entire word. Talking and corresponding among friends or family or anyone in a casual way is always fine to use shortened words.

[@JohnnyK60]

I've never heard veggie used to describe a person, cusine/food yes. As an American 'uni' sounds twee when I hear it, I get it. What I hear from folks with advanced degrees is the term 'undergrad' referring to friends, experiences from those years. I love the expression 'totes adorbs' myself. Admin is not known in the States, and I'm an Anglophile.

[@cassemiro8435]

Genial! Thx for this lessons!

[@antoniooya6670]

Sis for sister! Love that one! Thanks for the lesson

[@kelly3014]

I never use totes, uni, or probs. In America, we refer to university as college. So we would say, “Where did you go to college?” or “I miss my college friends.” I love learning the difference between American English and British English. 😊

[@SiddharthBhattacharjee2065]

Thank you for that.

[@robynh.s991]

Hello, I am very sorry to ask you but I really wonder how "even if" and "even though"are different. I have self-taught "even if" is for a future event, which has not happened, "even though" is for an event which had already happened before the point of speaking. But in some books, they are considered just the same. Can you please explain if you don't mind? Thank you so much...

[@EatSleepDreamEnglish]

It's a really good question robyn h.s. You are correct! One of the most common used of 'even if' is in hypothetical situations for example 'Even if I had a million dollars I still wouldn't move house.' The meaning is essentially emphasising that a particular situation will stay the same no matter what happens. These are often present or future events. 'Even though' means despite the fact that and is used in real situation for example 'Even though I went to 10 shoes shops, I couldn't find one pair I liked.' I hope that makes sense.

[@hakimhakim8110]

robyn h.s . Hey do you want the answer ? so: -even if I KNEW it,I wouldn't tell you.(but I don't know it ) -even though I know it, I refuse to tell you. (I know it but...)

In Australia, "veggie" is short for "vegetables" as in "Eat your veggies". The shortened form for "vegetarian" is "vego" (with the "g" as in "vegetable").

[@iamliamsingleton]

Great vid Tom! :) Although it doesn't really rank as an abbreviation, I think "cba" is worth knowing too since it's an acronym one comes across almost on a daily basis in the UK (albeit highly colloquial). I used it in the US and the person I was talking to seemed very puzzled by it haha. "Do you wanna go out tonight?" "Nah, cba (can't be arsed). I'll just stay at home." PS: I love "convo" (conversation) as a word too. I use it all the time.

To start with, I like your videos. They are amazing and I believe you're doing a great job. Keep it up. But I keep wondering if some of these short forms are not culturally specific to certain places i.e. exclusive to Britain or the US for example. I'm sure Australia and South Africa might have forms some Brits have never heard...
