I was in London in May of 2018, I was enchanted by the language and culture, I started searching for English classes on KZbin and I found Cangoru, now I'm even more delighted to discover this channel, I'm watching older videos and asking myself: Why have not I seen this before? " Thank you Christian for all this, I hope to meet you someday to thank you in person.

Hi Christian, this is Carlos from Argentina. This is a crystal clear explanation about cockney rhyming slang. In Argentina we do the same than in France, we invert the words (syllables) as well as there is something called “lunfardo” (slang) a typical way of speaking that came up with the tango, mainly in Buenos Aires. About cockney rhyming I recommend to “the community of the canguro” to watch “Mind you Language” a sitcom form the late ’70, there is a character there (Tommy Godfrey) that perform as a caretaker at the English school/institute for foreigners in London, he speaks pure cockney rhyming slang… it drives me bananas to understand him. Thank you Christian for teaching us these subtleties of the English language.

[@Canguroenglish]

+Carlos Ponce Thanks Carlos for your detailed and informative comment! Tomorrow I am going to start reading about lunfardo and learn some more about it! Anyone who wants to see cockney slang in use should definitely watch 'Mind Your Language'! Great suggestion! See you again soon!

[@carlosponce7971]

You’re welcome Christian … Here you have some examples of “lunfardo”, it is very difficult to translate into English but I'll try to do my best, that is… “Cambiar el agua de las aceitunas” ( to change the water of the olives)= to pee.!!, or “Chamullero (Chamullar: Conversar, murmurar)”= Talkative (a person that tries to convince to another to give or to do something on his/her favor by talking) or “Abatatarse: Asustarse”= get scared. There are many others. The “lunfardo” is very important for the Argentine culture; there is poetry, novels, movies, and tangos on this matter. But since you have a good command of Spanish I recommend you to visit the following link www.abctango.com/lunfardo/listado.php?indice=h

[@Canguroenglish]

+Carlos Ponce Wow! Thanks again for all this information. I'm looking forward to reading more about this tomorrow. Big hugs from Spain!

[@carlosponce7971]

Christian… sorry to stick my nose in your conversation with Natalia, I also recommend you… Mr Julio Sosa (El varon del tango), his way of singing and saying the tango is unique, also you have Mr Cacho Castaña… this is more romantic and modern… mainly “Café la Humedad” “Garganta con Arena” dedicated to Polaco Goyeneche… “Cacho de Buenos Aires” among others.. Enjoy.

[@Canguroenglish]

I'm glad you stuck your nose in, thanks!

[@Ross.Cavendish]

At last, a proper explanation of cockney rhyming slang. Many videos on KZbin give an incorrect or hopelessly muddled explanation. I'm off now down the Elephant with my chinas to have a ruby!

[@Canguroenglish]

Thanks Ross, I'm glad that I was able to make a good job of it! I haven't had a curry in years so I'm very jealous! Enjoy it!

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

@@Canguroenglish I'm going off now to get elephant with my chinas. Or may be to have ruby.

[@didiersimon3060]

Thanks again for this new lesson ☺ You may not need this explanation, given that you actually gave us these just as examples, but still, in French, there's no d at the end of bizarre. and so its verlan gives zarbi (to be pronunced zarbee). and for métro, which however you spelled correctly, its verlan actually usually gives "trom" (the é is dropped). Well, that was my so useful help (lol) in return for your (actual) helpful courses ☺ Thank you again and take care

[@Canguroenglish]

Thanks for that! I really appreciate your feedback! I actually found the examples in a French newspaper so I'm a bit shocked that they got 'tromé' wrong! Then again, you can't trust newspapers these days!

[@didiersimon3060]

It's totally shocking, for trom, given the importance of such an information ... 😉 Well, for bizarre (ok, I watched a second time, there were actually no d on your label, I only thought I heard it when you said it), but anyway, it was misspelled and there, they could have checked a bit better .... ☺

[@Canguroenglish]

Next time I'm going to check with a native before I put anything in my videos! You can be my go-to Frenchman!

[@didiersimon3060]

Don't hesitate!

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

I'm going to have a butcher's. I like your lesson. Clearly explained. Thank you.

[@delfinosoares9841]

another class that is perfect ! Congratulation !!

[@Canguroenglish]

Thanks Delfino, that's very kind! See you again soon!

[@snezanarosic5948]

Hi Cristian! As you just said, it is not always fun learning English like Cockney Rhyming Slang. In other words, this Cockney is very serious. I think it is very important to deal with that for having good understanding speakers from England, Ireland and ex... It was great topic for learning as every your lesson. They are not hard to follow....Your lessons are at high level!

[@Canguroenglish]

Hi Snezana! Yes, some aspects of language learning are not fun but we have to deal with them in order to progress! See you again soon!

[@maryamfalih4225]

Oh! So strange and interesting subject. Today I was speaking with my daughter about this point when learning a language specially English. Thank you cz you enlightened us.

[@Canguroenglish]

+Maryam Falih Yes, it is strange but for me it also has a type of beauty. I'm glad you liked it. See you again soon!

[@maryamfalih4225]

Canguro English Yes it is beautiful cz there is kind of intelligence when using it.

[@Canguroenglish]

+Maryam Falih Yes! Like a type of poetry!

[@ESTUDIOSSR]

[@davidsebouk3673]

Thanks a lot for this lesson. You said you'd do it and so you did as you said very quickly! About Cockney rhyming slang I knew two very important words for an English man.In this sentence :I had a cup of Rosey with the backed been this morning. I'm also gladly surprise of your knowledge in french verlan.evenif I don't like to use it myself I prefer to use french argaut (I'm also amused by your pronunciation of french "r" ,because it's a bit agy to roll the "r" in Nowadays french but it is not wrong either ). Thanks for continuing your lessons (in live or videos ) ,I don't have as much time as before to watch them and comment.But I follow them all !!

[@Canguroenglish]

Thanks David, I'm glad you liked it! Believe it or not, I studied French at school for 6 years and my pronunciation is terrible! I am too used to rolling my R's because of the Spanish! I'm glad that you're still watching my classes and I look forward to more of your comments, whenever you have time! See you again soon!

[@davidsebouk3673]

I know the accent can be a realy big issue in English. It's less the case in french .As long as you have a good grammar your pronunciation will be less an issue. For this particular "r" pronunciation imagine the sound of a jota and atenuate it.

[@Canguroenglish]

I can actually produce quite a good French 'r' when I concentrate, but somehow I always feel like I'm doing a bad caricature of a French person! Although I don't remember any of the French grammar I learnt at high school I think it would all come back to me after a few months in France!

[@zafariqbal-mt7fj]

Really nice

[@Canguroenglish]

+zafar iqbal Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

[@danyaarabiyat9622]

continue you are very cool ❤❤❤

[@Canguroenglish]

Thanks Danya! Don't worry, I will continue!

[@mottahead6464]

Great example yet the french word is bizarre. And Virelangues' meaning says it all : tongue twisters. Great video. (By the way, Amy Winehouse got me into the Cockney accent).

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Hello Christian. My example sentence; Where's James? - He just went up the apples? - really? - have a butcher's then.

[@JoseGomes-xb9jv]

Christian, you're very funny teacher !!!

[@Canguroenglish]

Thanks! I try my best! See you again soon!

It's my pleasure . Many thanks from Brazil

I'm sorry Christian, I don't understand very well how rhyming slang work but that's okay, I would like to see any more class about english.

[@Canguroenglish]

I'm sorry you didn't understand it! Don't worry too much, it's not a big part of English, but it is fun to play with!

[@thedogfatherjt2243]

That butcher's on me trouble's boat when she was on the dog talking to her China told me I was in Barney, so I ran down the apples, out on the frog and off I was, down the rubber for a couple of Bitneys!

[@Ross.Cavendish]

It's best to make it clear that cockney rhyming slang uses established expressions, rather than inventing one's own, in order to be understood.

[@Canguroenglish]

Yes, I suppose I didn't mention that! I hope it's obvious when they look at the dictionary? Oh well... no class of mine is ever perfect, that's for sure!

[@gersonribeiro3046]

the today'class is coming

[@Canguroenglish]

Yes!

[@marianamorais2682]

I'm not sure if I got it. Do people really talk like this using this logic? hahahah it's funny

[@Canguroenglish]

It is strange, but lots of people use it! Maybe not in every sentence, but it's definitely a part of the English lexicon!

[@sayedalihashim1568]

wife means trouble 😂 probably correct in most cases.

[@Canguroenglish]

Heheheh! That's the brilliant thing about it! It adds new layers of meaning!

[@Vitalii_Kyrychenko]

I will not use "Cockney Rhyming Slang". IMHO, it's not fun and nonsense, ... I don't get it:(

[@Canguroenglish]

Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and there's no obligation to use it! Maybe you could think of it as a form of poor man's poetry?

[@Vitalii_Kyrychenko]

I don't like poetry, I'm a big fan of novels. Maybe this lesson is useful for a better understanding of Guy Ritchie's films ...

[@Canguroenglish]

See! I knew you would find a positive side!
