Thanks TRWolf for these great vids. I am from Romania, I learnd english in school, and I guess I learnd the british english. But I also watched like a milion movies (or films as you brits say) on the TV, and all of them from the U.S., with the original sound. Not to mention the tons of australian documentaries about crocodiles and sharks (you know, from Discovery Channel and Animal Planet), so my english is a mish-mash (I hope I sad that right) of all the types of english accents out there.
Congratulations on your videos! I'm a teacher and it really helps my students to have a perspective on the differences between the two accents/vocabulary. It's really good! keep up the good job and have fun with it. :)
I lived in Sri Lanka (which was a British colony) so we used mostly British English there,and now I'm in Australia, but I'm not so lost about both versions of English (like bangs/fringe) cos people use both sometimes :D
In the US we start off with elementary school where we have kindergarten which starts generally at age 5/6, and 1st grade through 5th grade. Then we have middle school (also called junior high) where it's usually 6th grade through 8th grade (sometimes 9th). After that there's high school which is 9th through 12th grade and students usually are 18 when they graduate. After that the student can decide whether or not to persue a higher education (and pay outragous sums of money if they do!).
@Jazaju - American's have preschool. It is optional, and(almost always)parents must pay for it. Age 1-4 attend preschool in the U.S. Afterwards we have kindergarten, which is derived from a German term/custom.
I'm not sure where the splits between Secondary and High/Grammar and College are in terms of US Grades. The general ages of kids in those would help figure that out.
Here in the US, school goes from Kindergarten (Age 6) to 12th Grade (Age 18). Then you have to go and pay to go to a college or university.
I really like your videos. A lot of the stuff I already knew but I still think it's neat. Oh and I'm southern so I use words a lot of other Americans don't use. But for "tot tot" we say "tisk tisk".
@verylastafrican - Most people, especially those that live in the U.S., aren't aware of region coding. Mostly, I believe that is, because most of them never purchase DVDs/VHS' from other countries. The fact that American's developed the concept, and thus are "Region Code 1", probably accounts for much of that.
@DestroyaDoll Quoted from Wikipedia. I know Wikipedia isn't a trusted source but it does get the point across easily. "NTSC is the analog color TV format historically associated with the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Taiwan, and other countries. PAL is the analog color TV format historically associated with most of Europe, most of Africa, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, North Korea, and other countries."
@YesIamEccentric We use both.You will hear sea or ocean.Seaside,oceanside,the beach are all used here.It depends on where you are and the people you are talking to as well.
@kralyk311 - My understanding is that "snogging" is more like "French kissing". If you don't know what "French kissing" is...well, it is open mouthed kissing with use of your tongue. :x
@TRWolf yeah here we also use Krunk means sick and phat put together mostly African Americans use it, if a white guy uses it they look at you funny and give you a look like come on cracker use your own dang words stop whiting our words up
The pen holder made from a slave ship made no sense, because barack obama has no connection to slavery at all. Barack obama's father came to the US long after slavery was abolished. So why was he given a gift relating to slavery when he has no connection to slavery? Because he's black? The British think all black people in America have a connection to slavery, which is just wrong.
@lostalex77 What? No we don't! I think it was just a nice gift, I don't think it was referring the slavery aspect. How about the DVDs? Should I say something like The Americans all think people in Britain haven't seen movies and so need some? No, so dont be silly about it.
it's that truth that you in England call the teachers professors like in harry Potter? I hear too in the film "The history Boys" that one of the professors called the quotations "Gobeat" or "gobit"
hey thank you! im from malaysia, and i used to go to an international school for like 12 years. so when i went back home to malaysia, people keep saying that i have a certain accent, which apparently they thought was british, i personaly thought it sounded more like american. well i guess now your videos do clear things up for me.. :D
i guess it must be because of my best friend who apparently is from birmingham. thanx again TRWolf :)
I think you´re cool, cause you´re like a teacher for free, and I think you enjoy doing it. I have watched more videos but you solve questions. And sth i like is that you DON´T care which sounds or is better, that´s cool.
thanks a lot. I´m Mexican, and the same happens among spanish countries, like México V Spain or Latin-American countries, you know. Thank you very much.
As a kid I used to say 'bloody' A LOT. I mean, like when I was 5-6 years old hahaha! I'm sure I was the shame of my parents, but yeah I would say 'bloody hell' and use 'bloody' for emphasis when I was annoyed. I suspect I learnt that from my dear old mum. Bless her cotton socks. :P
anouther english slang for icepops / popsical is also lollipop or ice lolly,
a lollypop is also suckers (lollipop is english, sucker is american)
anouther thing ive not noticed you mention is a shopping basket like a shopping trolly, americans tend to call them shopping tote or something similar and shopping baskets are not widely used as they are in the uk, - From Amber (Im from wales / cardiff i could help out with a welsh slang vid if you wanted)
All this information is great. I am a native speaker who wants to speak in British accent, because I believe it sound more intellectually. Can you give some advice to people like me who wants to speak in British accent.
@maxberkay when offered a cigarette,Just don't say "No,Thank you,I don't smoke" if you don't smoke.instead,Just say "No,Thank you,I don't indulge" if you want to sound or speak British.
You leave me curious, sir. Could you give an age range on education levels? The French system didn't seem nearly as complex as you have it in the UK. :)
A shopping cart or trolley can be known also as a buggy in the southern US! And I think the American written equivalent to "tut tut" would be "tsk tsk"!
A chav is what in America we call a guetto person. In Miami we call girls who like to wear tight clothing and big gold earrings (generally hoops or with their names on them) chongas. They're all chavs.... Wanna be losers!
@blueheart26 really? Here in Los Angeles we call ghetto people different things. Like a chav, which i think the closest equivilent would be white trash or wigger.. but the mexican gangsters we call cholos/cholas. Still, like the UK, and maybe to a larger extent, our slang and terms vary GREATLY from region to region, and even city to city.
@miller84157 what the fuck are grits the only grits in england is the rock salt to melt snow on the roads and savoury scones are also called dumplings in UK
@miller84157 - Grits are a porridge-like hot breakfast cereal, they're generally eaten by people who have roots in the Southern U.S. especially African-Americans. It was originally a Native American food and is made from corn meal. You eat it just like you would oatmeal.
wow thanks these videos helped me alot! i'm american and im in spain for an exchange year and i have english classes in my school here and theres so many british words in my textbooks that i didnt get. thanks for helping me figure it out :)
also in icepop in the uk is about a foot long and dosent have a stick. The type with a stick (popsickle) we call an ice lolly although we call brands like feast which are just frozen chocolate and icecream an ice lolly too. also your posh as fk and most people speak anything like you and a lot of american words are used weather or not its correct.
what planet do you come from ? chavs aren't "wiggers" you get black chavs asian chavs an.d white chavs chavs to understand chavs you have to undertand hiphop music nd its progression in the uk usa hiphop-uk hiphop-hardcore-other forms of dance music chavs are also related to to football hooligans (see the film greeen stret a type of gang whose sole purpose is fighting over who has the better fotball/soccer teams) to a yank id say chavs are a mixture of white trash hiphop lifestyle ppl
@LifeForm0 I couldn't think of what the US version would be, but nowadays since making this vid I'd say they were a cross between white trash and Jersey Shore. You agree?
In US we have ''casts'' when you break a bone. and ''chalk'' what teachers use to draw on a ''chalk board'' or what little kids draw on there drive way with. what do you call chalk?
@jjd705 Nonono, we DON'T that's my point, someone told me that in the UK they were told we did, but we don't. A cast is when you break a bone, and chalk is chalk, lol
In Ireland for the school system it goes Pre-school you go there when your about 3-4 then Primary school you go there From 5-12 Then on to secondary school you usually go there from 12/13-17/18 the you go to college or university
An American just transfered to my school, i was in charge of looking after them as i was the only person who knew what they were saying half the time.
I am an American and I love the UK. I have once before and really want to go back. I think it is fun to find out what we call stuff and what y'all call stuff. American Football is not like rugby but no worries. When I visited the UK I was really surprised by all the American culture in the UK, like TV, Movies, Music and people knew who our politicians were. I was really surprised by that because none of my friends know much about British Culture like I do or about UK politicians like I do.
@Niiamh208 There are about 4 different DVD regions worldwide, and about 2 or 3 for blu-ray disks. Basically it is how the DVDs are played. They try and stop people, say from the UK, buying DVD's from USA when they come out over there, because the US gets them before most of the other countries. We have region 2, the US have region 1, so we cant play their disks, unless we buy a multi-region player. The disks play at different speeds
When I lived in Birkenhead in '79 I was accused of being posh because I called cutlery silverware, but in the states that is what we call all cutlery even if it is made of tin. I was often asked if I wanted a bath when I asked for the bathroom and again was accused of putting on airs !!!! Thanks for the video it is enjoyable.
@Turtlesilikethem nope, there's an ever bigger cunt, oh sorry *cunts* in power who have already destroyed everyone's comfortable stable way of life and turned it to shit with everyone desperate for money!
@Thechristiancullen Serviette is paper, napkin is cloth. Heaps and Lots are both used in the UK. Togs in the UK tends to mean general clothes. Undies are used in the UK, but never "grits", I believe that's a food in the USA!. Mint and tidy are both used in the UK but they're very regional and not that modern phrases. Wee originates in Scotland. Sweet and great are both used :)

@jjd705 Nonono, we DON'T that's my point, someone told me that in the UK they were told we did, but we don't. A cast is when you break a bone, and chalk is chalk, lol

Here´s a question for you Mr.TRWolf, do women in the UK refer to their friends as "mates" or is it more of a guy thing?
Playster3 1 year ago
@Playster3 It's a girl thing too. We all do it. Mates can also refer to all friends, ie males and females.
TRWolf 1 year ago
@TRWolf But you still use the word "friend" as well,right?

Toilet is called "loo" in the UK if I remember correctly.

@Playster3 Yeah, that's sometimes used, ie "I'm just going to the loo", it's just another slang word for it.

I am an American and I love the UK. I have once before and really want to go back. I think it is fun to find out what we call stuff and what y'all call stuff. American Football is not like rugby but no worries. When I visited the UK I was really surprised by all the American culture in the UK, like TV, Movies, Music and people knew who our politicians were. I was really surprised by that because none of my friends know much about British Culture like I do or about UK politicians like I do.

What's this about in america they have Region 1 dvds & in britain we have Region 2?
I'm confused about that and what it means?...xx
Niiamh208 1 year ago
@Niiamh208 There are about 4 different DVD regions worldwide, and about 2 or 3 for blu-ray disks. Basically it is how the DVDs are played. They try and stop people, say from the UK, buying DVD's from USA when they come out over there, because the US gets them before most of the other countries. We have region 2, the US have region 1, so we cant play their disks, unless we buy a multi-region player. The disks play at different speeds

When I lived in Birkenhead in '79 I was accused of being posh because I called cutlery silverware, but in the states that is what we call all cutlery even if it is made of tin. I was often asked if I wanted a bath when I asked for the bathroom and again was accused of putting on airs !!!! Thanks for the video it is enjoyable.

I am curious about kiwi v British. Ie serviette (nz)=napkin, heaps(nz)= lots, togs(nz)=swimming trunks, grits(nz) =undies, mint(nz)=tidy, wee(nz)= small, sweet as(nz) =great
Thechristiancullen 1 year ago
@Thechristiancullen Serviette is paper, napkin is cloth. Heaps and Lots are both used in the UK. Togs in the UK tends to mean general clothes. Undies are used in the UK, but never "grits", I believe that's a food in the USA!. Mint and tidy are both used in the UK but they're very regional and not that modern phrases. Wee originates in Scotland. Sweet and great are both used :)
