[@EnglishwithLucy]

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy this video! I have listened to what a lot of you have been saying about my intro music being too loud and I have reduced the volume. Is it better? You can also contribute subtitle translations and HAVE YOUR NAME FEATURED here --> goo.gl/oc82DE. FINALLY the audiobook link is here: amzn.to/2ixYg3Z. Love you all and can't wait to celebrate 1 million subscribers soon - I am thinking of doing a celebratory live video! i've never done one on KZbin! What do you think? Any recommendations? xxx

[@maryam4868]

English with Lucy You can answer all your subscriber's questions on your live video😍

[@itsmilena_]

English with Lucy yeah, it is better now. A celebratory live video would be cool xx

[@1953emo]

Hi, Lucy, music is OK now. Quote from your comment:"...a lot of you have be saying about my intro ..." There is a small mistake, isn't it? (been??) :)

[@mjking0709]

Hi Lucy. I have been following you for a long time. I come from China and find your Weibo hasn’t updated for a while. When will you update your Weibo so that we Chinese see your latest video faster?

[@RUDRPRATAPYOUTUBER]

Music is better now

[@Alavaro82]

Lucy is my heroine First time I ever subscribed to a British teaching channel and still miss your vids because you don't post every single week , which keeps my eyes peeled onto your channel kudos and cheers for being there , much love !

[@jadecosson1674]

I'm French and I learn every day with you so thank you very much ! Ps: I love your accent Kiss from Bordeaux 🍷😘 I hope my English is good

[@Meirzhan91]

My knowledge of English is terrible. When I started watching your video, I didn’t understand what you were talking about, but I continued to watch it every day. And you know what? I now began to understand you, I am so happy XD

[@alexil28]

Hi, Lucy. Americans also use the word coriander, but for them means the dried seeds of the plant. That is one of the many funny thing I learned when I lived in NY.

[@CheeseBae]

Correct. I'm an American and we call the plant cilantro, but we call the seeds coriander.

[@lottiesdad]

The seeds or dried or gourd it's coriander. My understanding has always been that it's only Cilantro when fresh.....

[@rhyndawatson4173]

In the US we also say prawn for large shrimp, coriander and cilantro are both used as well, although cilantro is most commonly used.

[@marthagrimes2360]

I've learned a lot from you. Thank you from poland!

[@drach2249]

Omgosh why are you saying pollack?who the hell are you to say that?

[@drach2249]

Lazzzz? What the...seriously what kind of name is Laz????

[@shamalcanady317]

me too

[@seba_tufgaming]

Polish live in Poland. Not pollack hahha

[@akki9784]

She said polish not foolish come on dear

[@darkandedgy]

I had so much fun with the pronunciation of these words. I knew a couple and learned new ones. Thank you, Lucy✨

[@hugofernunez]

Cilantro is a spanish word derived from latin coriandrum (italian coriandolo, french coriandre) Arúgula is also spanish (italian rocola, french roquette)

[@Hastdupech8509]

Actually it's rucola in Italian. By the way, I love it with lemon and oil!

[@euriehpeji4087]

Hello Lucy from Learn English with Lucy,i think in Britain,the word biscuit in American English which refers only to a bread with gravy is what they called scone based on my research on wikipedia encyclopedia.

[@vale16gonzalez64]

Lucy, realmente me gustan muchos tus vídeos y me han ayudado bastante. Creo que tal vez deberías hacer un vídeo hablando de las "abreviaciones" y escritura informal en los mensajes de texto. Saludos desde México

[@shafqatali3538]

Your accent is too good. I watch your channel and Vanessa's , Emma's and Leah's channels too for improving my English pronunciation and listening skills too. Thanks to you all. 😊

[@injujuan8993]

Thank you Lucy for another great lesson! You really are an amazing teacher here on KZbin. Those seemingly simple things you spoke about in this video are often get overlooked by English learners such as myself. So very useful and helpful and...mouthwatering 😀🍬🍫🍆🍪

[@gavintillman1884]

I’m not studying English, it’s my first language, but you popped up on my feed, as I’ve been watching videos on the differences between British and American culture. I adore coriander. It’s the best. One thing that’s interesting - at least, I think it is, I’m perhaps 90% certain - is that we use different words in both countries for the leaf - cilantro vs coriander - but not the seed which I think is coriander in both countries.

[@gavintillman1884]

American biscuits are similar to what we call scones. When I visited the US I decided to try their classic breakfast of biscuits and gravy. Wasn’t too impressed. No biscuits in it and no gravy in it. Rather it was scones surmounted by an off white goo that resembles (in looks, maybe not taste) Heinz toast toppers with the bits taken out.

[@MrBa6]

In my opinion the difference between zucchini and courgette has less to do with american vs british english but with the italian and french terms for this vegetable. By the way, I‘m keen on coriander and your channel, too!

[@pile333]

Yes, I think that zucchini, just like broccoli, it's an italian immigration influence on American English.

[@aminaamina3180]

You really make me smile while watching your useful and fantastic videos so thank you Lucy

[@misterinternational]

A lot of the differences stem from others countries influence on the US and the UK. For instance Aubergine is a French word and is used in the UK which is close to France. In the US Cilantro is used to refer to coriander as the herb made its way to the US from Mexico. Also when looking at Rocket vs. Arugula, this is from the the southern Italian influence on the east coast of the US, as in southern Italy they use the term Arugula.

[@kymberlishea2036]

Being from the South in the US I am fascinated with all things British!! I could listen to you for hours!! Love your videos!

[@JustinThomas7]

Fun fact - we call them prawns in Australia too - the whole “throw another shrimp on the barbie” was created for an American TV ad. We say coriander, biscuits, eggplant, zucchini, prawns, lollies, fairy floss, rocket, chips and chips. Yes, we use chips for both - it’s all about context! I don’t remember ever being confused by that.

[@dicemarta]

Very interesting! Thank you

[@Tracy_F]

Justin Thomas - my parents are British and I was raised in Canada, we also called them chips and chips! Funny. 😊

[@Zakemon88]

I was just about to make a similar comment! 😂

[@MysticalAmberMC]

chips and hot chips

[@Adaadam1996]

MysticalAmber Yeah but we only use hot chips if we’re trying to differentiate them. You wouldn’t go into a fish n chip or charcoal chicken shop and ask for hot chips, you’d just say chips. I guess we might say ‘I feel like some hot chips’ so people knew we weren’t talking about crisps.

[@nanihamza6225]

I would first thank you for your hard work towards English language learners around the world. I would recommend for you to provide us with legible tips of writing and the differences between American and British punctuation marks. Indeed, your video was loveable and loved.

[@nehuel.]

Hello Lucy! You do an excellent work with your videos. They are well organized and the topics are really interesting! Go on like this, you rock. 😊

[@elsoso8812]

you rock with this comment😅

[@tatianasilina4232]

Love coriander. Love your videos just as much as coriander. They are always very helpful and informative! 😊

[@melissaa9102]

Biscuits, aubergine, and courgette are actually French words

[@harrisonmyers1572]

Melisaa Attalah roughly half the English language (approx 80,000 words) come from the French language. It might seem strange but you have to remember that William the Conqueror, who lead the Norman Conquest of England, was originally from France.

[@pile333]

Biscuit is probably a late Latin word. Bis-cooked, cooked twice.

[@daylonmurray8068]

Non, c’est bien français ;) It actually comes from Old French. In late Latin, cook was cocere.

[@arthurvanrodds2772]

Zuchini is an Italian one

[@pile333]

Am I the only one seeing so big similarities between coctum, cuit and cooked? 😁

[@drawwithdevyani150]

Hey Lucy thanks for your english I have learn a lot from you

[@GamerBruh23]

So I find this interesting, A purple vegetable is called three different things: Britain: Aubergine (French origin) America and Australia: Eggplant (English origin) Asia: Brinjal (Indian origin) Should English really be that confusing?

[@opermitabanerjee12]

Yeah . You're correct. We call it brinjal

[@2MidnightBlue]

In the US cilantro(in our area we pronounce it sih-lahn-tro) refers to the fresh leaves/plant, and coriander is the dried, ground seeds of the same plant used as a spice! 😊

[@sohaibhussain]

I swear to god if i had lucy as my teacher in undergrad i straight up get a phD just because of her.

[@gayatrimenon3751]

Would you believe me if I said I had just randomly ended up on some pronounciation video of your and started following you soon after? You've actually made me love the British accent. 😍

[@gayatrimenon3751]

PS- you look beautiful!

[@filiperibeiroferro6414]

Hey, Lucy! Coriander is super good, I love it! Oh, I just noticed you have almost 1mi subscribers! Congrats!

[@weronikaburek]

Love coriander/cilantro. 😊 Another example I can think of is broad beans or fava beans

[@zanzao-1ps318]

Zucchini definitely derives from Italian, in fact we say zucchina, and in some Italian dialects it's even the same, zucchini...

[@anisbatrisyia14]

Hi lucy! I’m going to sit for my oral test tomorrow,thanks to you,my pronunciation has been better then before ⛄️! Xoxo hope you notice me

In India we refer to an eggplant as brinjal. It is a vegetable of the same species but a different variety. just like there are different kinds of tomatoes , different kinds of eggplants are available too.

[@lottiesdad]

Love this page....In the Appalachian US we call it, "Cilantro", when it's fresh and, "Coriander", when it's dried...It's also sometimes called, "Spanish Parsley" or, "Mexican Parsley". I do like them both and use them in very, (sorry), extremely different ways.

[@soundarya.k7315]

In India we use both American and British food names so it's a little bit confusing 😓. For eg we use the word ''fries" to represent "chips" and "biscuits" for "cookies" 😅

Hey fellow indian💚

[@luchin9198]

I am a spanish native speaker and it was so hilarious hearing the way you say "berenjenas" By the way I love your videos and your enthusiasm. Thank you very much.

[@amallkrishna]

The aubergine/eggplant is called 'Brinjal' here in Indian English and I guess its called the same in Africa as well :) Love the video and btw I can't live without coriander

[@EliteXtasy]

"Brinjal" is a Hindi word for aubergine. Not Indians call it that. Some Indians call it "bengun", begoon", etc.

[@otherpill7008]

EliteXtasy no, it came from Portuguese, beringal, because of trade centres.

[@vidadeimigrantche55]

It is called "berinjela" in portuguese. Quite similar, isn't it?

[@otherpill7008]

Vida de ImigranTche yes, because brinjal was taken from Portuguese

[@hugofernunez]

Aubergine (french), Baingan (Hindi), Berinjela (portuguese), Berenjena (spanish) all those words are similar as they come from arabic hispanic "baḏinǧána"

"Cilantro" comes from Spanish

[@georgecaguerhab2709]

my first time in your channel and i find it really helpful to those of us who are dying to learn english..

[@alexandrenunesdeoliveira9417]

Zucchini is Italian, whereas Courgette is French.

[@ahmetziyaaktas9179]

Biscuit is also used in my own language, Turkish. Cotton candy is completely same. Besides, Rocket's pronunciation looks like ours we say it "Roka." Thank you Lucy for this beautiful lesson!

[@jpack85]

In all seriousness, if you use sweets instead of candy, why would you say candy floss instead of sweet floss? Also, while you might not like the idea of eating cotton, we Americans wouldn't like the idea of eating floss, since that word is associated with dental floss. Regarding cookies, I understood that drop baked cookies, like chocolate chip cookies, are also called cookies in the UK. Is that correct?

[@cardinal3728]

Thank you Lucy, for your cheerful and useful videos! :)

[@victoriadyachkova7338]

[@blueangel9752]

Jelly for Americans jam for British

[@arthurvanrodds2772]

What about Jelly and Jello?

[@EliteXtasy]

They're not the same. Jelly in USA is a spread made from the juices of the fruit, whereas jam is made of the entire fruit. Americans often get these confused. American "jelly" is uncommon in the UK. Also, the American name for the gelatine dessert was due to the popularity of the Kraft brand Jell-O. It's similar to the "walkman" and "hoover" situation.

[@sparklestarplanet]

I am American i call it jam

[@TheJak121212]

Jelly and Jam are 2 different things in the US

[@sondradeestanley7034]

Alanna R. Jelly and jam are two different things as are the 3rd and fourth things preserves and marmalade

[@tonygumbrell22]

I live in Seattle in the Pacific Northwest and "prawns" is used for "shrimp" here often, especially for the larger ones. Also, our biscuits can be served with gravy, or butter, or what we call jam (or preserves). Some treats for dogs are referred to as dog biscuits, or just biscuits.

[@supriya1323]

In India people say Dessert not pudding they do pronounce the letter r in the end of the word they say French fries not chips which is not correct they learn British English but they sound American they say chips not Crisps 😂😂😂

[@rushda9830]

Supriya bahot yeah and we call eggplant/aubergine...brinjal in India!

[@EliteXtasy]

In the UK, we call the final sweet dish of a meal "dessert". However, the word dessert originally referred to any dish. Except for Yorkshire Pudding, pudding refers to any sweet dish, particularly if it's boiled.

[@aliceverger4421]

Oh right! I was wondering why nobody understood french fries and never thought that it is used solely in India!

[@Sri-it2gh]

Supriya we mix american and british words.

[@supriya1323]

Toby T agreed! If it's added to a dish, I scrape it out as much as possible.

[@tobyt2798]

John Speer me too 😂 even if it's a tiny piece, I will still taste it 😖

[@sondradeestanley7034]

Toby T coriander is edible if only a little tiny inch is in the dish but cilantro taste like soap. On one of the DNA testing sites that says that is a genetic thing to be able to taste a soap like taste on cilantro.

I watch your videos just to hear your accent, I feel like I'm slowly starting to sound more American (bc of KZbin, movies etc), so this way I get a little bit of practice. I already know much of what you say since I've learnt English for so many years now, but your videos still help me. I didn't know about arugula and rocket, for example.

[@ParisAntarktis]

I hate coriander! It tastes like soap

[@stephanieosadchuk5689]

ParisAntarktis I read about that. For some people it does indeed taste like soap, but for the rest of us it does not (not even a little soapy, ewww). I love it. Strange, isn’t it?

[@yanalavrentievaenglish]

Lucy thank you a lot for the video! The vocabulary varies a lot, no doubt here, but I’ve got a question I’ve been dying to ask - are there any specific differences in grammar? I know the Americans don’t use Present Perfect that often, but that’s the only difference I know. Could you please take a video or just briefly explain it. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@javierverdunn]

[@uwemuller2944]

[@yamainyoutubeland914]

this video is very interesting and helpful, thank you!

[@LanaVegana]

Yay, coriander! Love it! Also the British word is more easy to remember for me, since we call it koriander in Dutch. The same goes for aubergine and courgette (exactly the same words in Dutch).

[@funalltime2948]

I love ur way of teaching....

[@rashidsultan5956]

Thank you Mrs. Lucy for uploading your video ,we were waiting for it😃

[@skjaldmoo]

In Turkish, we use the word ''roka'' (which is pronounced like rocka) for rocket, this similarity actually surprised me!

[@jimattrill8933]

I love the Afrikaans word or expression for Br. Eng 'candy floss'. It is 'spookasom' which directly translates as 'ghost breath' - lovely! (And I am not an Afrikaans speaker really).
