You are so vibrant and humorous that you have changed my impression that British people are introverted. Your video courses are more vivid than other’s and your voice is so clear that even I, whose English is not very well, could understand most of what you said. Thank you for your distribution.

[@rosetiler]

omg not that many English videos out there that are PACKED with as much useful vocabulary! thank you so very much.)

[@yamineboubrahim1290]

It is a really good idea to start with a real time quick conversation 👍👍👍

[@ianmoone4576]

What i really like about this video is it brought joys for whoever would watch it, it's genuine and intertaining😄. TBH, the content is so helpful for the guy who's been into Brit accent and culture. I can only hope that u will be bound to make another gorgeous video in the near future. 😚😁

[@DevelopYourEnglishwithEmma]

Great video! So many common phrases in this video and you definitely picked a large number that the whole of the UK use 🤗

[@soonyatologan]

When it rains it pours. It poured so hard that the power was cut and the light was off. 😁

[@adnansoussi1746]

The British phrases and sentences are just typical and special. I loved the manner you explained it. There is light at the end of the tunnel 😂👍🏻👍🏻✌

[@Kamii-th1je]

@Johnny - Learning n' helping Thank you! I'll check it for sure😊

[@happypandapig123]

Could you please explain a bit more about “do you want to order first or do you want to grab a table”? It is a bit hard to understand this particular phase because, in my home country, we are supposed to order food once a table is arranged.

[@ranimerana8484]

Awesome thanks 🥰😍

[@MichaelLowsby]

You are both fantastic. Hello from Brazil!

[@alitamadon-zr1nz]

Love phrase videooooo

[@Selahrocks]

Watched another video of you about the different accents that are hard to understand. I personally don't have any problem with either one of the accents. I'm Dutch, but i've listened to English from all over the world since i was about 4 years old. This makes it possible for me to understand most English accents as a non-native speaker although i do have to pay attention when it comes to the Geordie and Glasgow accent. Indian-English is also hard to understand as it's use of vowels and general speach is softer and influenced by their native language(Hindi, Tamil, Urdu or other languages). I find the Irish accent a lot harder to understand than the Liverpool accent. I'm influenced by both Brittish(RP), American, Australian and African English. I loved watching Keeping up appearances and use a similar exaggerated RP accent, but i do switch from Brittish to American words and spelling when it comes to words as words becomes more regularly in appearances. I'm keen on languages and have been able to understand even Old English and read Beowulf while understanding it. Basically i love languages! ;)

[@user-fl1qs4rm2n]

That's amazing

[@user-et7in9di9b]

I really like british accent.

[@RedaZaidat]

I liked the video I would be grateful if you could do videos on some advanced phrasal verbs( going them in context, in conversation as you did in this video would be great,( not in separate examples pls) Thank you in advance

[@katarzynakoprowska6209]

I love you both!

[@codycook3382]

I live in Mid-Missouri, and I say "to be honest" all the time! I also say a few of the other one's as well but not as often. It makes me wonder how often other people here in the midwest say it.

[@farziddinsblog]

Dear Angel! You always make my Day! I admire you really much❤️

[@ericnic4872]

I am in Canada and a lot of these phrases are used with no British English context. Only like 2 or 3 of the examples are not used in Canada.

[@shawnfuzy3191]

Just found this. Love the 🇬🇧 never been there but it is the only thing on my bucket list. After watching this I found that I speak a lot of British sayings probs due to watching mostly British shows.

[@notgniot]

I cant believe you live in West midlands,im from walsall now your accent makes sense😃😃

[@michelgolabaigne595]

It is always a special pleasure to watch your videos. It's always so much fun and so much useful material…! M E R C I

[@britishenglishwithalexande1451]

Nice video Laura. I have to say...The 'Probs.' abbreviation's been a little bit of a surprise....Thank you.

[@miguelmelo8735]

I LOVED That hot tips they 're really interesting ...i didn't know the world 'faff' but it works effectively to build and expand our vocabulary ..i found you so funny in This vídeo..i liked it

[@ArpitBiswas-no9zd]

Cheers❤

[@gardenshed6043]

7:21 Faff can also mean procrastinating or doing something that doesn’t really matter. “Instead of doing some work I just faffed about for a bit”

[@mahdighalaoui8896]

Hi laura you know.. I like your videos...good job keep going

[@xyzabouttech5560]

I like this video!

[@mrandrews3303]

Ahahahahahahah, I have so much fun watching your videos!! I'll subscribe immediately! ;)

[@smashingenglish]

OH IM SO GLAD ☺️🤘🤩

[@RainyDayAuto]

I thought I was going to learn something completely new, but Faff is the only word I have never used. Other than that it sounds very American 🇺🇸

[@marcob4630]

Compliments for your frisky lessons! I feel that modern British English takes more and more after the America's East coast way to speak : sort of an "Atlantic English"

[@MrFree2nest]

Great heyh!

[@tungchung0106]

I am like watching a drama while learning some good common UK's common daily english. Weight off my shoulder now....(my little disclaimer). Thank you, to be honest!

[@iamliamsingleton]

I don't know about other parts of the UK but where I'm from, we barely ever say "definitely". We say "deffo" instead. So much easier to pronounce. 😁

[@ihjazahmed8787]

'Smashing "English" is under new management, by order of the Laura' ...Good luck Laura 😁 🤝

[@avd1830]

my favorite Phrase --> a BO'OH' O' WA'ER

[@stevejones4431]

Is the UK really big, though? The thing I find odd is that it's not a particularly big country, geographically, yet the accents are so defined and there are so many of them. People in New Jersey don't sound much different than we do in New York, but in the UK the same geographic distance can include radically different accents. I feel like there's a lot more distance between accents here. When people do an "American accent," they'll do a Texas twang, a California surfer dude or California valley girl, or a New York accent. But there's a good 1,600 miles between Houston and New York, whereas you travel 1,600 miles from London and you're in Bulgaria, Moldova or Ukraine. Maybe this is because the UK is an old country and the regional identities are a lot more defined, but that can only account for so much.

[@allamasadi7970]

When you said Britain is a big country, I first thought of how small it is compared to the USA

[@tatyanar7146]

Nice video! Thank you! Sounds funny when they say that the UK is a "big" place ))) :-DDDDD

[@alfredassan9278]

It's a good video... Can you make more of this on otjer regions?

[@mackwiz1]

@Johnny - Learning n' helping : Otjer is not a UK country or region.

[@alfredassan9278]

@@mackwiz1 typo error... Should be "other regions"... Thank you

[@donontario]

5:27 - "Good shout"

[@Locosporlapsicologia]

Is it possible to write " I'm Sound" in a informal Letter?

[@samisami-qb5tl]

Its interesting. Di you think english is a reál language??? Its only a lot of idioms and phrases. As Native Hungárian we are unable to learn english at all As a language. But if we forget our language, and using idioms and phrases, we speak fluently. Lot of people learned this Way. The my Way.😭

[@rajajesson]

Bez 5 stars ⭐️ too 😀

[@mctx9371]

If you want slang for probably then it would be pro'ly. Way better than probs if you ask me. :D

[@nashrulchaniefhidayat966]

Laura, could you just improve the audio quality in every single video you make? You can visit Keith on his channel "Speaking English Success" There's nothing to complain about your video and the way you share the knowledge, but the audio quality. So far it's great. Keep on going ☺☺ Thanks

[@drceegeegee]

You're killing me! That must have been hell for anyone with a semantic pragmatic disorder such as some on the Autistic spectrum. Great vids. Keep 'em comin'.😂

[@greyever7820]

Hey, thanks for teaching us english! Btw you can try teaching about the british music (psychedelic rock, progressive rock, punk etc) you can tell us about the history of the genres and biographies of the musicians of the last 60 years. It would be so much fun. Thanks.

[@puurfectlysplendid]

What's I'm sound means after how are you???
