Americans' say the phrase "I'm on the fence about _________". and "It's raining cats and dogs." Both are pretty commonly used.

[@janvdb9258]

Yeah was going to comment..definitely heard all over

[@Ykoz2016]

I was going to say the same 😂 Also, who on earth was Anna hanging out with? 😂😂😂 Who thinks the word “charming” is weird? 😂😂😂 And only says slang? 😂😂😂 This isn’t everyone. This is a type.

[@FiftyFive74]

Morish is an adjective I've never heard an American use to describe something tasty and addictive.

[@The_SeoulJourner]

@@FiftyFive74 I use moreish occasionally, but it's not common in the States. I don't think I've ever heard it used by any of my Canadian family either. US is massive, though there are plenty of commonalities within the way we speak, we also differ a good deal on state to state, county to county and even city to city. I lived in Chicago, vernacular would change neighborhood to neighborhood.

[@Ykoz2016]

@@FiftyFive74 Yes! I agree with this one.

[@ExLibris-Alys]

I’m English and it’s lovely to hear you both speaking with an English accent. It’s more usual to hear English with an American accent (except here of course) so it’s hard to tell where people are actually from because they all sound the same. I really enjoyed your video 😊

[@basicallyme.]

6:15 : We use both of those phrases (that Hattie said lol) . It's extremely common... I don't think we'd say "he's dope" to refer to a good looking male. I'd probably say , "Oh he's cute or he looks gooddd". Charming just seems so Cinderella.

[@janvdb9258]

British people should not be held responsible for Ollie London!!!

[@szewei85]

And also the success of RRR movie

[@kristenstewart1250]

So cute to see you guys together and you seem like genuine friends, not just KZbin friends, which is really lovely to see! I love both your personalities!

[@cannedheat300]

I understand most British phrases because I born before 1980 and was exposed to a lot of British colloquial sayings through books, plays, and British tv/movies. The younger you are the less likely you will know those terms unless you were exposed to the language.

[@janavanbeelen8489]

Canadian here! I actually have noticed that Koreans use the term “charming”, or “he’s showing his charms”, quite frequently, and I honestly cannot think of a time when I’ve used that word other than now and when watching Prince Charming in Shrek 😂.

[@genuinetallguy6318]

Im liking everything you do Anna. Keep it coming. Nice chill vlog.❤

[@ekaterini2957]

Those are American expressions too -- "on the fence" and "raining cats and dogs" -- just to clarify y'all.

[@beeku5557]

I think it depends on the Americans you hang with. Americans totally say on the fence or raining cats and dogs, though they may be more dated phrases. Maybe gen Z says dope and fire often, but they're still super young.

[@herstorylives7405]

Americans say "on the fence" and "it's raining cats and dogs". Those are very common phases in the US, at least they use to be among people older than 50.

[@ajrt_2118]

Wait, I'm American and I'm pretty sure I have heard Americans say "I'm on the fence about it." But maybe I'm confused because I did live in England for like 2 years. "It's raining cats and dogs" is definitely something Americans say.

[@XOut4This]

I see someone agree with me. Yes, in America, we say “on the fence; raining cats and dogs” I’d even say “super charming” 🗽🇺🇸

[@katieguid2005]

Younger Americans might not say “I’m on the fence” or “it’s raining cats and dogs” but us older peeps still say it 😛

[@carissaanderson5848]

I think idioms like being on the fence is more co fusing for non-native English speakers, that’s why Jin doesn’t naturally understand. But English speakers use that phrase all the time. Also you must be talking to a lot of Gen Zs if they just say it’s fire 🔥

[@allisonB123]

You two are so cute together, such a genuine vibe - I love it 🙏❤️💜

[@slavvalb3933]

Anna and Hattie !!! Which one of you is more British ? I want to go to British pub and S. Korean Cafe 👍. Have a great week ,ladies !

[@janavanbeelen8489]

I like this kind of video! Would love to see more of you ladies hanging out!

[@Rowlph8888]

British food is not the best, but it's definitely underrated, if you properly evaluate and they are the best at pies and pasties, especially if you go to restaurants in the countryside outside of London, where they make their own, often stacked with a tasteful blend of vegetables.However, British deserts, especially puddings are as good as any other countries The only countries I would say that have better cuisine than Britain in Europe are France and Italy.They mention Spain, but I've been to Spain several times and the food there is overrated and I prefer British

[@pinaynenelifeinuk]

I don't like marmite too😊. Interesting conversations. Watching here till the end and thumb up as always. Enjoy and have a good day to you both.

[@mitzkt1679]

I an an American in the Midwest and we know the phrases about raining cats and dogs and about being on the fence about something. 🫰🏻

[@sammie-chan4573]

I'm American. We say im on the fence alot... it's it a generational thing lol we say cats and dogs too

[@andresmattos7541]

Why don't u make a video about the low korean birth rate?

[@Han-cj2jp]

Hi Anna, I used to watch British tv shows but i did not know Tom Hardy was British. I really like him too. I had a co-worker and on the weekends she goes to the swap meet to sell things. She gets things from wholesale then sells it at swap meet. Just a suggestion. Maybe Hattie’s husband can introduce you to his male friends. Hope they are like Tom Hardy.

[@stefheathcote6123]

Loads of love to both from the Uk! I honestly think that the only thing that’s going for the spotted dick is the name! 😂 nothing too exciting! Is it common that the English teachers should use American accent? That’s weird - they learning a remix, they should learn the original! 😅😅😅 Ps @Hattie, which house did you choose?? Can’t wait to see it!❤

[@chanmer1]

very cute you two together. American say both those phrases, but probably not much in Korea. 👍👍

[@janetharris9291]

Americans say both those phrases. I’m on the fence. And it’s raining cats and dogs

[@szewei85]

Haha you should also collab with Emloo :3 Another Britisher that also in the Kpop game hoho

[@RockingMarshall]

Your cultural content is amazing Anna!!! 😍😍❤❤ Really educational and entertaining to hear your experiences from both of you. 🤩🤩

[@slavvalb3933]

I 💕 so much English accent . It sounds so sexy ! Anna you sound sooooo British ! Now, I am confused is that British or English accent ?

[@anna.lee_jy]

They're the same thing haha!

[@IshtarNike]

It's like a standard English accent. Reads as slightly middle class and from the south east around London without being one of the "London Accents" which are considered more working class. The standard English accent is considered "the" British accent even though Scotland and Wales are of course British too but we wouldn't call them British accents we'd just call them Scottish and Welsh accents.

[@mr.dakamd5444]

I adore these 2

[@TWEETIE04]

i am moving to Uk 🥺🥺💜💜👀👀i lived there when i was young

[@ginamarieo789]

Ummm....as an American (Oregon, West Coast) I can say that I've regularly said throughout my 45+ years of life that I'm "On the Fence" about something, and certainly once or twice said -- with my Mom -- "it's raining cats & dogs".

[@zabryant01]

We definitely say as Americans “I’m on the fence about…” and “it’s raining cats and dogs”

[@katieguid2005]

Awe bummer about the shoes as I was hoping to go shoe shopping since I definitely am too big for the clothes.

[@hannaparky]

Early! Notice me Anna

[@anna.lee_jy]
