[Kdanren]

You'll say that I'm Chicken Jalfrezi... but I like Cockney...

You remind me prof Jerzy Bralczyk polish linguist... In manner of speaking... It's just great, all clear.

I'm repeating every word you said in this video, it really helps ^^ to be honest I got amazed by the English pronunciation that was coming out from my mouth! xP wow!

[corinnarubi]

ya gonna be my new english teacha... thanks a lot

[xxmusicplease]

So, anything that rhymes would work? There aren't set words for certain words?

Would this work?

"Have a robin hood day" or "Have a robin hood tina fey" ?

[iswearenglish]

@xxmusicplease

You have understood exactly. And your examples are great.

Note Robin Hood for good is already used.

Many things have set phrases and I would not suggest using too many non standard ones together.

It is through this invention that new standard phrases come into existence when a new rhyming phrase becomes popular.

Note Robin Hood for good is already used.

[iswearenglish]

[TheRichthoffen]

[DanielleDuckieBag]

Your beard is amazing. <3

[JayKoach]

You are awesome

[respegerl]

Wonderfully explained!!!

[TheSchweineferkel]

I don't understand this AT ALL! So instead of saying "I got to take a dump" could I say "i got to make a jump" because it rhymes with dump?? And how can anyone understand what I really mean??? And instead of "I don't give a Donald Duck" could I say "I don't give a truck"? Or to confuse my listeners even more "I don't give a lorry"? This is all very strange...

[Nilguiri]

I think the cockney at 2:15 has spent more time in Australia than in London!

The only Cockney rhyme I know is from Crank 2. Strawberry tart. His heart. That's an easy one.

[Krisjanis]

Great video!

[MageAtYou]

This is such a great learning video :D I wonder Noel uses some cockney slang in The Mighty Boosh, you know that show?

I dunno if he does but sometimes you don't understand what he says (I'm a Swede by the way)

[shippem]

I know where Berk comes from like berkeley hunt but where does blue berk come from

[iswearenglish]

@shippem

I'm sorry, I don't know the origin of blue berk

[shippem]

@iswearenglish How about saying someone is a garlic twit?

[iswearenglish]

@shippem

Garlic twit seems to be a fairly new insult, but again as to origin I can't help you.

[shippem]

@iswearenglish Bummer. :/

[redfoxarts]

@iswearenglish cockney from east london? what else are the accents of britain?

[shippem]

Thank you so much for this post !

[BigGulp62]

[iswearenglish]

@somame69

[Ecaroleable]

[iswearenglish]

@Supersmooth007

cushty me old china

[tempnamejoe]

awesome job!!

How do i know when to omit the second word of the slang, or to use both words?

thanks for the video =)

[iswearenglish]

@tempnamejoe

there is no way to know if one word or the whole phrase is needed. You need to learn this individually for each phrase.

[pinoy1000]

I love that beard

[redpanda2401]

But I want to learn greek ?. Will this help ?

[iswearenglish]

@redpanda2401 There are a fer ancient Greek words in English. Anthropology for example, but you might be better with a Greek teacher.

[redpanda2401]

@iswearenglish : we were drunk, and it was a bit of a joke,,, i dont want to learn greek...as yet... hats off to the guy teaching us rhyming slang. On aside, what are the "fer ancient greek words" in the English language. Were interested to know...

ta

[iswearenglish]

@redpanda2401 for fer read few

a few Greek words.

Onomatopoeia, misogynist and politics

(On aside, no, use it without on. Aside, what are...)

:)

[lumaix]

thanks for making this!

[iswearenglish]

@coldsakurashiver

@coldsakurashiver

yes this is very very difficult. On occasions I have had to ask people what they mean and I am a native speaker. For more examples see user: warror135 "Only Fools And Horses Little Problems Part 3" 00:09 Gregory... Gregory Peck = Neck. Or "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Uncle Part 1" 08:24 Cushty, I'll pop down and take a butchers at it later... Butchers... Butcher's Hook = look. Cushty = Fantastic from the Romany (gypsy) kushtipen, meaning good.

[coldsakurashiver]

@iswearenglish

jaja ... yeah! that´s what i mean ... if sometimes you have some problems to undertand ... imegine my case!!! .... im from mexico! jaja ....

thanks for answer!!! and i´ll see that .... thanks!
