Always nice to see Easy Languages Cinematic Universe haha!

Marvel better watch their back 👊

Why did Dimitris get his perfect pronunciation from? 😅 He should give us all some classes before we fail so miserably at the next game 😂

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

😂 He's a fountain of knowledge... he could be our Easy English guru

[@halfthefiber]

He is quite the guru! He even knows that some words are pronounced differently in the UK and in the USA.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

I know! We were mightily impressed when he pulled out both pronunciations of lieutenant. 🤯

[@tinyclix9575]

@@EasyEnglishVideos All but one. I went for the American pronunciation of lieutenant 🙈 (I’m excluding my attempt to pronounce the last word because I’m sure its length technically makes it German 😂) Happy weekending Mitch, Isi and all the EL teams.

I’ve been a member of Easy German for years, and recently added a few more Easy Language subscriptions on KZbin.

Intro is so funny and cool!

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Thanks Tasbike 🙌

[@dng2000]

Awesome video! As a native speaker of American English, these peculiarities in rules of spelling and pronunciations in English are pretty natural to me since I learned how to speak those words before I learned how to spell them back in elementary school.

[@dng2000]

Conclusion: I got the words lieutenant and borough wrong because I didn't know their British pronunciations but now I do! 😃

[@EasyGreekVideos]

I had no idea "iron" should be pronounced eye-on in British English. But it makes sense! BTW, you should have included the word "corps." :D

[@klimtkahlo]

🤣😂The karate kid and Top Gun, etc. references were really clever! 👍💥 Worcestershire is even impossible to pronounce for Americans native speakers of English! 😳 I can’t even do it after hearing it multiple times!

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Yes! we were waiting for the references... There's another one in there to do with a Stallone movie. How many did you get?

[@chrysgnt4369]

Dimitris from Easy Greek does excellent videos about the Greek language. He is a brilliant presenter. However, due to the fact that he is half Australian, he clearly has an advantage over the rest in pronouncing English words. It would be like having Katie from Easy Italian taking part in this kind of episodes.

[@anjawright4609]

Dimitris rocks!!!! I first pronounced "lieutenant" the American way, but then corrected myself to say "leftenant" to make it British :-). Just watched "Sanditon", too, where that word comes up quite a bit.

[@janmuller6546]

You're all so damn funny, I wasn't even planning on learning English. But it's nice to see the family united, watch them fail and realise how I've been doing it wrong myself since forever like a complete idiot xD.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

This is why we don’t even try to do the correct pronunciation ourselves. Easy languages is such a talented network 🤩🤩🤩

[@mariannereuter]

Haha ... I love when you all take part. And Janusz' guitar intro was quite impressive ... I knew most of the words, but that I used the American version of lieutenant was new to me. :D

Yeah, why are army related pronunciations so difficult? I think only Dimitris can pronounce #21

[@VivaLaVittoria]

Geez these are tricky words to be giving non native speakers!!! As an American English native speaker I still got some of the British pronunciations wrong.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

As a Brit, I struggled… and I chose the words

[@islamadam8502]

I LOVED THIS EPISODE 👍 It's very nice to bring so many of the Easy Language family together 😎😎 I liked the 80s intro a lot 😂 It was a kind of surprise to me that they mispronounced many English words although they are Westerners, glad to know that we Egyptians are not the only ones who mispronounce English (still I think we do it much more 🤣🤣) And greetings to Dimitris especially for pronouncing that last word 👍🤠🤠

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Did you get any of the references? Also, how many did you get correct? Dimitris got all of them correct I think which is super duper impressive 🤯

[@islamadam8502]

@@EasyEnglishVideos I got the one from The Karate Kid, I guess the press-up scene appeared in several 1980s movies by Van Damme and Stallone. I got 16 words correctly, is that good?

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

@@islamadam8502 Absolutely... I tried to make a reference to Rocky IV when he crushes a picture of Ivan Drago in the mirror... so cheesy 16 is pretty incredible considering I researched for quite some time on the hardest pronunciations, so well done 👏

[@ArgusStrav]

Janusz gave the right pronunciation for the American version of the word "Anesthetist". Didn't realize that British English not only spelled it differently, but pronounce it slightly differently too! #6 is just where British English starts screwing with you xD. #14 Some of the Northmen in Game of Thrones definitely pronounced it as "eye-ron": "They can keep their eye-ron chair!"

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

😂😂😂 it’s like we don’t want you to say it correctly. Interesting about the GoT fact. Do you know where they’re from? In the real world, that is 😂🏰🧙‍♀️⚔️

[@ArgusStrav]

@@EasyEnglishVideos Tried leaving a comment, but it seems anything that has a URL in it gets automatically removed by the spam filter. I found the actor, his name is Steve Blount, but unfortunately he's not that big of an actor, so there's not a lot of information about him on the internet. All I could find is that he's apparently Irish.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

@@ArgusStrav ahh okay... that might make sense - I recommend looking for the phrase "how now brown cow" which actors have to practice saying to learn a Northern Irish dialect. Might explain the whole iron thing

SIM or SYM simultaneously - it does not matter, there is, often, in British English 'no right way' as there are many ways, THIS is one word that is an example - most people in the northern half of Britain would say SIM !

What a missed opportunity to demonstrate the differences between British and American pronunciation. So many of the words sounded weird to me being pronounced in British. Nevertheless was fun to watch.
