And in Argentina "no se coge el autobus". Apparently, though this is ok in Spain, in Argentina it means to be "intimate" with the bus. 😂

One thing I often hear is people mispronouncing food and foot Question : I don't get how I can say beach without my tongue hitting anything. I can't to the "ch" sound, or it would sound more like a "sh" (beash). Can anyone explain it to me please?

[@tunahanacar7948]

Lol that's so true! If a baby or an animal is cute, we(mostly older ones) say "Ay ne kadar tatlısın, yerim seni!" in Turkish. It means that "you are so cute, I eat you!"

[@shakespearaamina9117]

Best teacher ever! I ust love your videos. you are the best Aly. I conratulate you for that.

why is toothpaste and not teethpaste ?

[@papateachme]

This is something that really annoys me too!

[@StepinUSA]

Then you need more than one. Hehehee

[@theludyanna]

I think it's something like "toothache", it doesn't matter how many teeth are hurting, it's the name.

[@ThaoMiy]

You have to consider each tooth individually :) In German it's also "tooth"paste

[@DidrickNamtvedt]

@@ThaoMiy Same in Norwegian, the tooth is also singular for our word for it, "tannkrem", where "tann" is singular and "tenner" is plural".

I don't know if this is embarrassed mistake, but I didn't know how to pronounce squirrel and I described it by "rats from the parks"

Where I came from, we say 'fat" to someone as a compliment and they become happy when they hear it. When I said that to my American friend, she started crying. That's when I started learning about other cultures.

Once in the gym, I told my British male friend that I forgot to bring my pants (american version), and he asked me several times that what I forgot! realised some time later what kind of message I was giving away!!!!!

Wow!! I haven't lived in the UK since I was 15 (and you won't want to know how many years ago that was) but the language is in continuous development and you have opened my eyes to a couple of expressions I did not know (how embarrassing for a native English teacher). By the way, some students of mine brushed shoulders in the Tube with you and were so excited when they realised who you were but by that time you were gone. Thanks for your great and amusing videos!!

[@Velosirraton]

I have so much fun with your videos and learn new things as well. It's perfect.

[@cosichka]

I'ved had a very embarrassing situation saying "what a lovely shits!", when I'd really wanted to say: what a lovely sheets! " I couldn't distinguish between the i and ee sounds in those words 😱😌😂😂😂😂

[@papateachme]

Hahaha well it's the same pronunciation technique as I showed in this video so I hope it helps :)

[@julih4726]

My mom had the same situation about a year ago but she said "I need a shit" she just wanted a sheet to write on 😂🤦‍♂️

[@NekomiSon]

It should be “what lovely sheets” the a takes the flow out of the sentence.

Some years ago I stayed with a family in Kent while doing a two-week course for English teachers in Broadstairs. One night we were having dinner and I asked the family's ten-year-old daughter to take a picture of the dinner scene knowing that the mother of the family didn't like being photographed and that she wouldn't have liked it if I had done it myself. The thing is that I told the girl I feared her mum "would be pissed off if I did"....to which comment both parents reacted in an unpredictable way; they looked daggers at me and said I should mind my language in front of the children...
