What was your favourite phrase from the video?

[@uifwastaken]

innit = ain't.... maybe your handwriting is just a chicken scratch.. (fun fact, in my country, Slovakia, we say "you scratch like a cat")

[@3joewj]

The UK accent is actually annoying. There's no difference in the actual language...just some words are used differently. American Broadcast English...( Midwest English) is actually the only proper English and is being taught across the world as a standard for English speaking news hosts and agencies.🇺🇸👍is called American Standard Broadcast.

[@InstantEnglishUK]

@@3joewj that is true, USA is the best!! 🥳

[@3joewj]

@@InstantEnglishUK I'm not saying we are the best... but...ironically, there are more mispronunciations of English in British English than American Standard. For example The letter R is not silent in English.

[@ajbnmd]

Mine was a British guy referring to “an island called the United Kingdom.”

[@nichapatghoul4020]

I have seen brits trying to mimic americans once, it's quite hillarious. Imagine the most stereotypical american person: First name: Ronald Last name: Hamburger Passions: Car donuts, BBQ and guns, all together in his backyard. On top of that, the best valley girl accent you ever heard.

When that Versace guy appeared and started with his boring self presentation, I thought thank God you fast forwarded it. But in the end he turned out to be not such a killjoy, and I wish you actually had left his part in the video. Probably the story he told was actually interesting. In fact, he absolutely seemed like the most educated of all the other dudes in the vid (but also props to the ghetto guy for being so cool and funny!). Anyway, great stuff! Thanks for sharing it.

[@acsicsek]

I really wanted to like that guy because I too am from Baltimore and I always enjoy seeing a fellow Baltimorean made good, but jeez a lou he was pompous! At first I thought 'he's just taking the opportunity to promote his film', but it quickly became apparent he just loved the sound of his own voice, even he didn't know what the hell he was on about. Like for real dude? You think you'll know how 21st C British accents and idioms because you grew up in a state that was chartered 400 years ago by a British guy? It got worse when he decided to fabricate the history of peanut butter - unprompted, mind - just so he had an excuse to continue speaking into a microphone. And then of course the cringe name-dropping at the end... I have a sneaking suspicion that he jumped for joy when he saw that Harry Potter question because it gave him a reason to mention that he hung out with Daniel Radcliffe and that he has been to Sundance. Sorry to be so harsh. He also came across as a happy and friendly guy with a zest for life and new experiences. But those qualities got lost behind the boasting.

[@James-oi7mz]

I've read that modern American English has kept some aspects of older English and British English has evolved. I'm not sure if it's true or not but great video! Verily, this is my favourite video today.😄

[@marydavis5234]

It is particularly true, English in the New England states speak 18th century English.

Dude you’re in Miami! My guy have a great time! Also, can you come to Connecticut (Yale campus) you can pick up on some Northern slang LOL

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

That was really fun! 😂

[@notadaytrader]

English in the UK is perfect, but for non native speakers, English in the U.S. is easier to understand. Also some British idioms do not make much sense to me.

[@tapioca5545]

Interesting 🧐 thank you for the video

[@SimplifyTechInfoofficial]

when I started learning English, I chose the US accent, I knew the UK was a bit harder but, I can say both accents are amazing, and it is good to know about every different culture, English is a nice language, and I loved it so I learned it and still.

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Lovely to hear, and where do you come from?

[@SimplifyTechInfoofficial]

a big thanks from Morocco@@InstantEnglishUK

[@user-oc4ih6hk7t]

video bom ,gostei bastante,você podia fazer um video desse falando sobre the brazilian people,i love it.

[@NegativeAsmolav]

I know this is a joke and all, but I just wanna say that it's actually North American English that is generally accepted to be closer to Old English than modern British English. If I'm not wrong, the same goes for French and Spanish as well.

[@DarizDariz35]

ITS Amazing, and i speak American english but i find the Accent difficult sometimes but i try and try, i like youf personality

[@muyguapo1029]

2:37 it seems like the intonation of question form in british english has falling tone while the american english has rising tone. I might be wrong but i thought british people often use falling tone at the end when they ask yes/no questions.. like their accents go down at the end?

[@suny_ybc]

I love the man who says "mate" everytime xd

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Hahaha me too

[@randerins]

he always said it with a smile which made it even "betsah"

[@edmaitland]

My favorite phrase was the subtitles rendering “on a roll like Cottonelle” (a brand of toilet paper in America) as “cotton nail.” 😂

[@InstantEnglishUK]

I did that because I actually had no idea what he was referring to haha

[@MrMauricioelejalde]

Amusing!! When people speak slow it's easy understand. But people who speak slang fast, seem other lenguage, specially if you are not a native speaker as myself!!

[@rekin1654]

Please make a video about speaking to Americans and Brittish the Original English(e.g. Middle English period) and see who understands more :D

[@weftuh]

Yes!! That sounds incredible

I love your videos, lol. But I have a question, the word “minging” it feels like they pronounce the first G, right? when it was supposed to be just like you said at 08:39 or am I crazy? lol

[@InstantEnglishUK]

People say but, a softer G for sure but sometimes the G is there

[@ktenka]

In our country we also hear Mind the gap in the subway. I thought it's common!
