As there are quite a few English ( as official language or the most common language) speaking countries in the Southern Hemisphere - it is a ridiculous question. I would suggest July is the coldest month in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. So the expression makes no sense to many native English speakers.

The English captioning has been bad in several videos, but it's especially bad in this video, perhaps because the audio quality isn't that great and there are a lot of small connective words, but also because it seems like whoever is doing the captions isn't fully paying attention to what's actually happening. 2:43 should be "I can't put *off making* this decision any longer", not "I can't put, I was making this decision any longer". She's straight up repeating the sentence from the question. 2:57 should be "can you use 'put off' another *way* ", not "another one" 3:03 "you are procrastinat*ing* ", not "procrastinat*ed* " 3:26 "It has to be like a negative thing *you are doing* towards the situation" 4:15 " *There's no* reason trying" again, repeating the question 4:18 again " *There's no* reason in trying" 4:23 "Like there is no reason to try *and get everything done* ", not "to try into everything that does" 5:20 This is not exactly a captioning error, more like a continuity error: The native speakers say that "getting at" was number 3, while it's listed on screen as the number 2 option. Seems like it was not copied correctly by whoever was copying the questions for the overlay on the video. 5:33 "Honestly *it's kind of* like an idiom" 6:26 "Get *better* on its own"

Picky English teacher here!!!! 1. Very well done for the learners, also for the natives on their explanations. 2. Very well done both sides, but the explanations for the other options was perhaps not fully understood. American girl was right "no reason to try" British girl too 'no reason in trying". 'However 'reason' trying is "wrong" in general English not just "awkward". But in my dialect you can indeed say "(ain't) no reason to be trying" the present participle in General English as in African American English (AAE) must be preceded by a for of "be", African American English just uses a much wider range of be + -ing than you will find in standard varieties. "rhyme" acutally would need to be a similar structure and does fit into standard varieties. "there is no rhyme of reason to try..." or "there is no rhyme or reason to be trying..." and AAE "ain't no rhyme or reason to be trying..." Of course spelling adjustments for pronunciation of AAE are not included because I am too tired and lazy to be changing things and adding diacritics I think a cold day in July is a polite version to avoid dropping an H bomb. 😁

Q3 was a bit odd for me as someone from the US. "Aiming for" and "getting at" both work for that scenario, but probably wouldn't be the first phrases I'd go with. I'd probably say something more like "going for" or "trying to say". I'm not sure if that's a US vs UK thing though. Perhaps "getting at" would be the more popular choice in the UK. But I feel like "going for" would be more common in the US. Also, I've never heard someone say "cold day in july" in the US. But "cold day in hell" is extremely common.
@utha2665 Жыл бұрын
In Australia July is mid-winter so we wouldn't use this at all but then we don't get that cold overall so not sure we would name a month. "When hell freezes over" is one we would use, however. "What are you getting at" is said in a more casual way, when someone says something a little confusing you could say "what are you getting at?" or what are you trying to say. Whereas "what are you aiming for" would be in a more formal setting perhaps in a teaching situation asking someone what are you trying to achieve.

Watching this video feels very satisfying as a native English speaker when we have to endure _some_ 'English as a second language' speakers telling us that they speak better English than we do. They're nowhere close to native speakers (understandably BTW). No matter what the language, you just cannot compete with the depth of knowledge that a native has of their own language. Natives are literally experts at their own language, and there's no amount of time a non-native can put in to 'catch up.' They won't even get close. That's not to say they can't appear very fluent, but you dig just a little bit deeper they really get exposed. Again, this is the same for every langauge.
@nekrataali2 жыл бұрын
Naw, English is four languages in a trench coat. Native English speakers can't really speak English all that well because English is all over the place in terms of rules, grammar, spelling, slang, and idioms. The English spoken in Dallas, Texas is different than the English spoken in Boston, Massachusetts and they're both far away from English spoken in London. A lot of non-native English speakers often learn English that can be understood across multiple accents and regions, which is pretty important when you're trying to convey information, which is the purpose of language.
@futurez122 жыл бұрын
@@nekrataali If English is 'all over the place' (and I agree that it doesn't have strict rules, as other langauges do), then that's the language, a language which millions of people have grown up speaking since birth. Just because it doesn't follow strict rules, and has variations which differ so much, it doesn't trouble natives like it troubles foreigners, as proved in this video alone. Trust me though, if you learned English in the US and you went to the UK, so long as you're relatively fluent, or even conversational, you'll be understood. Though, as said, they may struggle to understand natives from other regions of the world. People from the US had little issue following Game of Thrones, otherwise it wouldn't have been so popular, and people from the UK don't have issues with Breaking Bad either. The language is essentially the same. It's the same for any language though, I'm at around a B2 in Spanish and I can understand Latin American Spanish better than Castellano (spoken in Spain), but after a month or so of exposure, I'm confident I'd understand that Spanish just as well. It's just a case of getting used to it. You're right though, English is a mix of languages, and it's grammar is a mess, but that doesn't make it any less of a language, and it kinda proves my point that natives will be waaaaaaaay ahead of any learner of it. But again, that's the same for every language, you can't make up for 10s of thousands of hours of early exposure.

To be fair, this was much more of a memorization test than a language test. Language is a memorized skill...it's not an inherent law like arithmetic nor a regurgitation of facts from the past like history. Every word inside every language exists because some caveman in the past randomly decided that a certain sound would represent an object or idea. Sure, languages became complex and systematic as time went on but the basis is the same...sounds and what those sounds represent were memorized. And so, if a non-native speaker has not heard a word or phrase before then (generally speaking) that person is not going to be able to "figure it out". There is nothing to figure. Language is a memorized skill.

Stuart Scott (rip) coined the term "As cool as the other side of the pillow" on ESPN's Sports Center, and you will sometimes hear older sports fans use this instead of cucumber.
