[@dungduong-tc3bx]

Being British

[@chamiramesophieisrailian7362]

Being British: Joel & Lia Hello Joel! Wanted to say that a dozen comes from french douze, meaning twelve.

[@Alifahusna_97]

I freaking love it when Lia laughs. Her laughter is contagious!

[@AJ-oj2wd]

Haha this video made my German self feel a lot better tbh, so thanks! When I was still living in London, I was walking around in Shoreditch and a guy approached me to ask where he could find a cab. I told him how to get to the High St because he'll most likely 'get lucky' there. He looked at me as if I suddenly grew a second head, thanked me politely and walked as directed. Only after I thought the conversation over a few minutes later, it dawned on me that 'get lucky' is a slang term for getting laid and what I meant was the phrase 'be lucky'. Every piece of my skin shrivels up like a prune whenever I recall this rather embarrassing encounter :D

[@azazel3208]

I loved your osteoporosis story, dear Lucy, but my favorite one always is gonna be the perra choriza one.

[@FelipeEliteFecha]

Best video ever! You should do more of this kind. Thanks Lucy!

[@sarahpanda3252]

This video made me laugh a lot! I'm also feeling a lot of better about myself now..:D And, it's beautiful to see such a good relationship (Even if you thee don't know each other really long). I love you!❤❤

[@sophia6263]

5:00 "it dozen't make any sense!"

[@luisarmandoramirezluna6734]

ROFL HAHAHAHAHA.

[@DidierMelki]

Two tips for Joel : one : I always remember DOZEN because in French we say DOUZAINE and almost like in Spanish DOUZE is twelve. two: first time I went to the USA, I had to talk to the customs officer and when I told him I wanted to stay in the country for a FORTNIGHT, he understood FOUR NIGHTS and was about to send me back to my country because I clearly didn't understand what he meant

[@mrsrenekarina]

Also, I wil understand that 4 nights, actually is the first time I see and hear that word and its meaning New word learn 😇

[@danilobianco27]

Wonderful video, I had a lot of laughs 😂😂 Please Lucy bring other videos like this one!

[@flamango1982]

This was without doubt the most hilarious video I have watched on this channel although all of them are pretty awesome for my English learning....Lucy your mistakes were really funnny and joel's ones were pretty relatable .

[@m8852]

LOL. I don't usually enjoy listening to conversations on KZbin videos, but this was an absolute joy to watch and listen to. Nicely done!

[@ribhurajroy9511]

Thank you Lucy! You're a great teacher!

[@RussianwithAnastasia]

The story with the mouse trap is so funny! Thanks for this great video, Lucy!

[@janea1985]

Thank you for sharing your stories. It's very fun to hear all that.😀

[@darrelk5649]

[@bayuadi2974]

Really love this vid, Luc ... You both are amazing.

[@user-lb5xk3ry5u]

SUPER ENTERTAINING! Well done, guys! Laughed a lot!😂

[@kaseycarvalho6936]

This video made me laugh a lot! I really enjoyed it, love you guys!

[@ioseb14]

That Lucy Ending :D 1. Fortnight is an old English word meaning 2 weeks. It is very frequently used by George R.R. Martin in Game of Thrones :D 2. Dozen exists in Georgian as well in a form of "Duzhini" (Zh= French J) and means twelve. Also very old-fashioned.

[@oohnastya]

Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard, thank you 😂 I just love you, guys 😍

[@elbertpanjaitan2227]

This video make huge laugh in office room, and make me learn that even all of you guys make mistake, so am I cause English is not my first language and make realize we can learn more from our mistake. Thanks guys. GOD BLESS YOU. 👍👍👍

[@crumbcoatconfeitaria9658]

Best thing was Joel and Lia doing the finger clicks and hand waves with Lucy at the end of the video. So damn adorable. 💖

[@queencrimsonqueencrimson]

It's not just English, many other languages have words to refer to a specific quantity. For example in Spanish dozen-> docena, is used to talk about eggs, pastries, empanadas (similar to pasties). Fortnight-> quincena. In this case quincena refers to 15 days, whereas fortnight refers to 14 days. This is mainly used for holidays so I assumed that it's called like that because most people took 2 weeks off from work to go away, therefore saying a fortnight/quincena, because it's always that amount of time by law. I know it can vary and that people in Europe have longer holidays in general, but for most people, 2 weeks used to be the case at least years ago. Hope that helps

[@SergeyMalovatov]

Thank you very much for the video! It was very beautifully done indeed!

[@MrEric23]

Absolutely brilliant!!

[@Chiara-xk3gv]

Love this video so much!!!💝

[@bratwurstmitbiryani]

Almost 1 million subscribers. Lucy ,we are happy to see your success.

[@loukpadvanderwoodsen8997]

The ending moment is very funny, haha. Love you guys, xxxx

[@elias4878]

I haven't laugh so much with a youtube video in a long time ! Genial!

[@benjaminoutlander]

Dozen comes from the French "douzaine" which comes from "douze" which means twelve

OutlandeR Skyline And that's funny because for us who have a Latin Language (Brazilian here) dozen makes perfect sense! Hahaha

[@isa17lo]

I'm Spanish and "dozen" makes perfect sense as "doce" means twelve in Spanish, it's the Latin root!

[@SebastienFortin07]

I'm French Canadian so I can affirm it. :)

[@MrsLovett000]

In spanish twelve is “doce” and dozen is “docena”, so we don’t have problem with them 😎

[@janainasouzaqueiroz9412]

Jo and Lia are the funniest teachers on KZbin. Even Lucy sounded more relaxed, less formal then she would sometimes look. Lia, don't worry I never get left and right correctly either and I'm 33 years old hahahaha. My solution was to put a watch on my left side arm, so I always look for where my watch is in order to get it right. Thanks for the video guys (:

[@janainasouzaqueiroz9412]

You might be right! However for me it works as an extra challenge, it makes me pay more attention, therefore training my ears and while listening to their natural way of speaking. It makes learning more realistic and when you finally get to understand them, then you'll definitely be ready for speaking to natives. In the beginning it was hard, but now listening to them is part of personal studies. Take care xx

[@Chiara-xk3gv]

KingFisheR00011 I think you're not right because they teach English through having fun and not in the formal classic school's style

[@Chiara-xk3gv]

Janaina Souza They're all awesome❤

[@hardikgulati7681]

I've never been so early on Lucy's channel. Yayyyy!!! 💜💜

[@shrutiverma6508]

Oh my goodness..... Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved watching it❣️...

[@seanhaldar314]

[@imanehim1988]

[@Benkinersophobiaa]

The dance at the end gave me all the life I needed.

[@johnsantos5055]

[@NaveenK279481]

I don't know but i love your voice lucy so mesmerising

[@neilgoloy3582]

That was really amusing. Thank you.

[@user-xr6gk8xi7x]

Oh, it's the best crossover ever!! I was so happy to see you all together!! That was nice to get to know that some Brits don't know what a dozen or a fortnight mean))) I have a suspicion that sometimes non native speakers pay more attention to nuances then natives do.

[@moustapha12999]

Thank you so much Lucy

[@sakugava]

Almost 70k visualizations and 3k likes. Common, don't forget to give thumbs up!

[@abdelhadyalhosen4430]

It is very funny 😂😂,I've actually enjoyed the video so much and felt at ease when I knew that you native speakers experience a little difficulty in your own language.Thanks alot

[@matiasacuna4716]

este tipo de charlas informales ayudan a que uno retenga el vocabulario de un forma mas dinámica,recordando el contexto de las anécdotas y recordando mas fácil las palabras

[@cjsloki9717]

[@nuraisaho_o]

i really enjoy wacthing this 👍👍

[@luxelifediary]

Just watched this with the boy I'm tutoring English to in Spain (super helpful channel to give him some British English practice) and could not stop laughing! Loved this video. My favorite stories were definitely Lucy's. I was laughing so hard during the mouse trap one and the fact that you just were like... okay... here's my mouse trap... LOVED. Super funny. Great video. I also have trouble with the elevator/escalator situation. I always call an elevator the right thing but the second I see escalators I'm just like .......

[@fabiavasconcellos9780]

Lol 😂 you are spectacularly !!! Lovely 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💞

[@user-pc5vm3qs6c]

Thank you

[@gethbond]

Lol I’m not a teacher but once I had to substitute a teacher in this English course. The students were basic learners and for some weird reason they would say/write things like LARRY BEE, instead of the song title “Let it be” or LARRY POPPINGS, instead of “lollipop”. And the worst thing is that I couldn’t keep a straight face all the time. In the end we were all laughing.

[@kalanea1113]

you guys are amazing 💕💕💕

[@user-rm6vz4vy6k]

In russian escalator and elevator are also often confused bc their pronunciation are almost the same Thanks for my new fav collab❤

[@Legobuild750]

I didn't know what fortnight was and now I know. Also I laughed a lot with the trap story! Lol Great!

[@ahmedshuaib2505]

thank you teacher

[@davidhoman3807]

Lia said she had trouble distinguishing left from right. Here perhaps is a way to know which is which. Think of the two words alphabetically. Left comes before Right, so then, L R.

[@LosAnggraito]

Mine isn't necessarily language-related, but for thee LONGEST time I thought pickles were their own vegetable. I only recently learned that they were pickled cucumbers... embarrassing, I know. 😂

[@jenniferevans432]

LosAnggraito wait i thought pickles were onions wot-

[@junior.santana]

Wait, what? I mean, of course I knew it. (opening google right now)

[@alejo_montano3677]

I used to confuse the words "such" and "suck"

[@azeitonaf.7880]

Fabulous! I laughed a lot! XOXO

[@user-ri3ow1lt9i]

my favourite English teachers on KZbin🙃

[@sarakamal6550]

I 'm from Egypt and i love you lucy 😍😍

[@alf.2929]

The trick with left/right is if your write with your right hand, well that's the right side

[@Alavaro82]

OMG I laughed so hard You guys are amazing .

[@camembertdalembert6323]

I djust discovered your chanel and I love ze britiche accent, zis iz ze way I would like to talk english. Cheers from France.

[@economicslearningacademyby6019]

How funny! great...

[@kefuyi6981]

Even you guys can not understand some words exactly,let alone me.I still remembered in the reading comprehension part of 2014 Chinese postgraduate exam "fortnightly” was the key word to answer the question,at least to know it should be longer than "weekly".I considered the meaning was same as "every four nights"....

[@yaeladriano2184]

OMG! I OFTEN GET CONFUSED WITH RIGHT AND LEFT AS WELL! 😂😂❤

[@kayrius]

i cried laughing of the mousetrap mistake 7:35 hahaha

[@juniorsethboateng6732]

I enjoyed the video, particularly the collaboration between the two channels☺. In Italy we call a dozen ''dozzina" whose roots probably extend back to the habit to pay once every twelve days, literally ''stare a dozzina'' refers to Italian language. I hope this has helped👋

[@OnTheRoad667]

British humour. That's why I love you so much you brithish people

[@daudfabrics]

Good. I like this vedio. U guys r doing great to improve English of millions of people
