Hi there friends!
Again - something a bit different for you today! Trying out some ideas on you all to see if you like them! Here I am sharing my observations of British people in the Summer - gathered over the years and comparing our habits to those of my students and when I lived abroad. It was really funny making this one as a lot of these habits really made me chuckle! I hope you like them! It's going to be great for your listening practice because this is the speed I speak at in my everyday life - so it's authentic English in use! Really hope you enjoy it, and let me know in the comments what you think! :-)

I' m a big England's fan. Thanks for sharing and telling us about your memories and Englisch culture. I'm brazilian and I've been living in Germany for 27 years. I was in London twice. I love going there.🙂

[@englishwithkatharine]

Aww that’s great 😃 thanks for your comment 😊

[@robertoa.paradar.1306]

That was just great from you to share a little bit about your culture.. Funny things here and there.. Just wondering if you're considering making a video about connected speech and its different features? Also the use of the glottal T, would come in handy.. Cheers Katherine. I enjoy watching your videos, I really do..

[@kassu3995]

Lovely video. I enjoyed listening to British summer habits/ rituals and the subtle details how people spend their warm season. I would like to add something on having a cup of tea in the summer. This is similar when it comes to hot weather in the Middle East. In my case, in Africa. We do have a saying in my language, I’m not sure if it makes sense in English. We say: WE TAKE A THORN OUT OF OUR SKIN WITH A THORN. So, heat with heat, that’s how it works. When your really thirsty in a desert, you have tea; not water-they say. Obviously, the perspiration cools down your body temperature. This is to share what I heard and know.

[@ahemranphn6774]

Thank you so much for helping people like me to learn british english as well as british culture. I appreciate your unique ideas. Like i said before we all are waiting your podcast

[@englishwithkatharine]

Haha! Maybe soon 😀

[@ahemranphn6774]

@@englishwithkatharine im sure you would be famous as frankie bridge , Rhiannan lambart

[@fabrice9252]

I adored your: 'when life give you pebble beaches ... just lie on them!' 😂 Kinda derisory humour and so British! 👌 It somehow reminds me, in its formulation, of one of my favorite English joke that you know most probably: 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! But when life gives you melons, ... you might be dyslexic! 😂😂 ❤

[@englishwithkatharine]

😊😊😊

[@fabrice9252]

I like your denomination of 'Mermaid's purse'. Very poetic indeed. We also call them 'bourses de sirènes' here and also 'oreilles de mer' (sea ears). They are fish eggs basically and egg capsules, or ootheca is the more scientific name given to the these characteristically shaped eggs of certain oviparous chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fish).They come from small sharks (particularly dogfish), rays and chimaeras and consist in a rigid, sac-like envelope (called the capsule), with long, twisted filaments at all four ends used to attach the egg to seaweed or other surfaces on the seabed. They often washed up on beaches and mermaid's purses are one of the elements that can make up the sea leash.

[@englishwithkatharine]

Oh that’s soooo lovely

[@hatsuemama7077]

Thank you for the video. Really useful! I’d like to know about tea, cream tea and tea room more. Can you introduce them some day? I’m going to London in July, so can’t wait! I live in Japan, by the way.

[@englishwithkatharine]

Great suggestion 🤗🤗

[@user-sd9qz2jv4x]

Katharine, I can't stop watching you and listening to your excellent accent👏

[@taalpointnoord8826]

Sitting on a pebble beach " is no picnic " , ( is not easy ) , Americans would say. In Holland people flock to the sandy beach in Scheveningen now , near The Hague (Den Haag ) , ignoring warnings of getting a sunstroke , or dehydrated and sunburned in the scorching heat. So a lot of similarities between Dutch and British people behavior here . Dutch news channels and dermatologists already advice today to stay inside more often because it is already too hot to stay outside. We are overwhelmed by the quick switching to soaring high temperatures all of a sudden .

[@Hocinoakat]

hearing your voice and description are so enjoyable, literally brought to UK, cheers;)

[@misschen2477]

So love British Culture videos~ Looking forward to more to come:)

[@Mike83]

Lovely fun facts about the favourite activities of Brits in summer. Thanks a lot and have fun-packed summer days and nights.

[@AhmedOmar-vu5ln]

Hi Katharine... I appreciate your efforts to explane every thing to us ..

[@user-sm2eo2kk7s]

This summer finished but watching your summer vocabulary videos is always helpful. Thanks:)

[@taalpointnoord8826]

..and of course , forgive me for bringing back a lovely memory for the fullest , the weather was typically Englisch , continuously cloudy , and most of the time raining or persistent drizzle . The taxi ride from Cardiff airport over the beautiful rolling landscape with winding roads among England's and Wales' (s ?) greenest hills still sticks to my brain . That characteristic landscape is really amazing for a Dutchman, and words can hardly express how wonderful that was. Traffic signs with " Give Way " or "Make Way " on it (? vague and distant memory) I didnt know what that was supposed to mean. The rain made the taxi ride even more adventurous !

[@englishwithkatharine]

Lovely! Haha

[@ImranUllahKhanimmi]

In summer, we are frequently used to Swimming 🥽🥽, barbecue and piping hot tea as well.

[@liudmylagantsevych8668]

Sure cultures do overlap for example tea drinking is so popular in my country Morocco 🇲🇦 even if it’s scorching hot we love drinking mint tea.

Thank you a lot for your videos! Now I’m able to feel myself as if I traveled to Britain ! I came up with an idea for your next videos: tell us about the sites, podcasts, newspapers, magazines or some Facebook subscriptions that you , your friends and family like to read or follow. That would be great to keep up to date and not only read classic books( although they are great)😊

[@englishwithkatharine]

Ooh great idea!! 😊🤗😊

Hi Katherine, greetings from Brazil! I like all your videos very much and your lessons about British english and British culture are so cool. You are really an amazing person. By the way, I am glad to know you like brazilian barbecue. But don´t worry, because your british barbecue 🥩seems also to be very cool, what it really matters for a good barbcue is to have pleasant momments and having fun with your family and friends meanwhile eating a good and yummy food.😎🥩🥓

[@englishwithkatharine]

Thank you so much for your feedback 😊😊

[@KevBarnes]

I live a km from the water on the South Coast of England, I should mention the West Wittering, sand! Just around the corner from me and not a pebble in sigh but oh the out of towners! When I lived in London my beach was indeed Brighton, special extended and yet rare excursions included Little Hampton or even Bognor Regis. My favourite location however, was (and still is) Seaford, where the river Arun meets the English Channel. Nice views of Beachy Head and The Seven Sisters, a bit of a trek clamouring up them though. FYI three BBQs achieved to date this year. Holiday, staycation. I only go abroad for work, that’s austerity for you. I tan naturally due to my bilogical roots but I do suffer form the initial singe. Right, I’m off for a cuppa, which is scientifically proven to cool. Happy teaching!

[@englishwithkatharine]

[@jeanfreitas3677]

Hello teacher! Greetings from Brazil. I agree with you, the brazilian barbecue is very tasty, and I guess the british barbecue as much as it. But, the argentinian barbecue is the greatest. I lived there, Córdoba Province. El assado argentino es muy rico, se lo digo! Amazing classes, keep going. Helping me to improve my english. A warmest thanks.
