Hi lovely beings!
Hope you're all having a wonderful day! Happy Friday to you all!!
Today I've got another one of my video ideas for you hehehe! This is what my English mum says! She doesn't know I'm making this video hehehe :-)
This will act as a case study for you - for someone in their 60s and what kind of English they use! She is from the south of England and speaks with Modern RP! 🤗🇬🇧
I hope you find it useful! Let me know in the comments if so! I’ll do my best to reply to each comment 🤗
Take care everyone and keep smiling! Don’t give up 💪
Katharine xx

Thanks so much for that hearted comment again... But, love to hear a word or two for my comment from you, cause nothing like getting a comment from an expert like you who is everybody's bees knees when it comes to learning a foreign language.. Have a good day and sending greetings and good wishes to you again and again this festive season from a country called srilanka which is obviously quite far away from you, yet happy to get in touch on utube with you as always, "love your lessons big time" 🙏🙏🥰 Hugs.xoxoxo Gams ❤️

"You are getting a bit out of your tree there" is a lovely idiom, too. By the way, is N°5 always allowed (precisely because of the musk) ?

Hi Katharine❤I am an English teacher and your videos REALLY help me improve my accent, can u do me a favour and spot more light onto the illusive “y” that you talked about before, it really helps me catch this difference between my accent and native’s but I still need more explanation… thanks in advance 🙏

[@NATURALBEEKEEPERSCOLLECTIVE]

Its funny how our language and phrases change over short amounts of time. Oh Crumbs and Gordon Bennet are both used by my grandparents but not parents lol I used to hear raining cats and dogs when I was a child 80s and 90s but have not heard it recently. Here is some thing I bet you did not know. Gordon Bennet was named after a real person in Scotland his full name was James Gordon Bennet who had some very outrageous behavior like publishing graphic details of the birth of his son James Gordon Bennett juniour Shocking people at the time. He moved to Amercia and was a journalist. Here is one for you Jack Frost paid us a visit this morning its nice and crisp outside. :)

Dear Katharine, thanks 🙏 again for a wonderful video-lesson. One of the things you’ve said on it has have me wondering about what would it be a modern alternative. You’ve told us that, “being stuck between a rock and a hard place” is nowadays an outdated phrase. What would we then be likely to hear when walking, let’s say by the streets of London, to young people to express that idea? A thousand thanks 😊 and have a lovely weekend!
