You should start your own podcast So there you can share British culture , education system, helth care system famous Universities and so on On the other hand you can also share some sharlok Holmes stories , British Stories I hope and trust that you take those things into consideration

I loved the video! Thank very much! Sound TH for me ir very hard! But I am trying ...😁🤩

[@christianbeghain8537]

Hi Laura ! Thanks for your videos😊Could you make a video about Cockney (unless youve allready done one before) ? I understand making videos is a lot of work, so don't bother if you cant, i perfectly understand 😊🥰

[@mcampero02]

I loved this video, very helpful! Laura, may I ask something for future lessons: some long time ago I stayed in London for three months and noted things that I never shared with anyone and never seen on KZbin. Is it typical British to say: Fantastic! Brilliant! Lovely! Gorgeous! Or use more often the preposition "off" instead of "out" or "away" (I remember on TV someone saying Clear off!)? Do you pronounce the words vocabulary, military, extraordinary, voluntary, ... differently from Americans? Is it typical British to use "I'm afraid", sometimes at the end of the phrase? Do you use more present perfect than past tense? Do you use more often "I've got" instead of "I have"? In UK, does "Thanks a lot" have a sarcastic meaning, or can I use when I really want to thank someone? Cheers!

You are so good. Every video is better.. 😍

[@amooboardgamechi]

Tnx for all great videos you have made, would you please make a video describing the article “the”?? A lot of non-English speakers find it very confusing

[@dewitriazzura9224]

I’m always happy watching your videos. I can fully understand what you’re talking about, and i’m proud of myself hahahah but i find it hard to speak english:(

[@thetechsite9619]

I heard that Patrick Stewart popularized the "Day-ta" procounciation in the US through his role of captain Picard on Star Trek - The Next Generation. But maybe it was more attributed to the character name of Data or "Dada" re-established itself?

I loved this entire video, thanks a lot Laura

I’ve never really thought about how hard it is to make a TH sound being a native English speaker, but it is unusual when you think about it.

Happy New year 2024💕💕🤗 Healthy, Happy, Prosperous in your life always Best of luck.God bless you.

[@gabimosqueraperez7511]

Many tks for picking my question!! 😊🎉🍻🙌

[@sgrenterprise6193]

I am also clear now that Great British and England 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 is both different

[@its3milia]

y'all know what, why do you care about this ,,th" sound? idk, I don't really care about it, I just pronounce it as /t/ and for me it sounds more natural than /th/.. it's kinda tiring - I mean struggling with it, thinking about I can't pronounce it good.. Like why some fucking /th/ can be any barrier haha, idk guys, just chill, breathe and fuck it. As long as we understand each other - we don't need to be perfect. Anyways.. Love your videos, someone in the comments wrote about podcast - YES YES YES YEEEESSSSS!!! We need it, so please - think about it!!

[@wexwuthor1776]

The Queen (may she rest) was German.

[@fuckmehard2292]

You looks pretty

[@Mohammad_Abushaqra]

Thank you alot Excuse me I want to ask is it OK to pronounce an Arabic name with the letters form arab language which is not in the English language For example if I said Ali (3'ali) is it going OK with you?

[@kingfoudomilani]

uk includes 4" countries " so some people consider it offensive if u call him english and he or she isnt from england

[@smashingenglish]

Yes! If you called Bez (my Welsh partner) English- he would NOT thank you! 😂

[@kingfoudomilani]

[@armanavagyan1876]

What does tata mean

[@armanavagyan1876]

@calculating person ok thank you very much

[@carotheplaylistmaker]

Not at all, mates 😉 Tata means bye bye ! And just taaaaa (maybe spelt tar ???) means thanks BUT we foreigners are NOT supposed to use either of these two "words". I'm French and lived in North Wales for a year and heard these two words all the time but I really shocked people if I used them myself 🤣

[@armanavagyan1876]
