This is part 1 of a series of videos for people learning English.
I went into central London recently and asked people "What's London really like?"
These are their responses.
Use the video to practise listening and to learn about English culture.

Shut up old couple; New York might been a great place but not certainly the best place in the world; so the cocky americans do need a *slack in the face* I live in London and yes I do complain about how shitty it can get in here but I do prefer it so much more then any american cities :D

[LukesEnglishPodcast]

@TheAmirGrg I don't really understand why people are hating on that old couple. They were really sweet and said loads of nice things about London. And what on earth is a *slack* in the face? Don't you mean 'slap'?

[zerodxsk]

The biggest city in the world... New York? No wonder the world thinks Americans are ignorant and self absorbed. Nice old couple... but still gets a *facepalm*

Im moving to england after high school :3 <3 i cant wait

[JamesGod08]

London is no longer English. Join the fight back against the globalist agenda

[Evertonmarks]

Hey, very good couple and people. Congrats for u LukesEnglishPodcast. Good job!

[grolis666]

@TheAmirGrg I'm getting really embarrassed by all the anti American comments, on almost every video I view. What's wrong with people. Most Americans I have met have been lovely. Just like this old couple.

The blonde girl around 2:00 is gorgeous!

[troybrad]

Yes, quite embarrassing, there are many ignorant Americans who don't realize there are many other great countries in the world! Interesting how only caucasians are being interviewed in the video.

@LukesEnglishPodcast I don't understand either...they were just talking about what they know and like... I'm British and most Brits take everything way too personally especially when Americans say anything :) I love the way Americans always mix up Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square

[NightEldar]

@TheAmirGrg also don't speak about your literacy please. You make a mistake in your every sentence, Londoner :)

[NightEldar]

@TheAmirGrg OK, hearing problem. I read it as "New York, which cannot compare to London". Now tell me what you heard him saying please?

[TheAmirGrg]

@NightEldar If you really havent listen to them properly then its not my problem. I am quite well educated interms of my english literature, thank you very much. Unlike you who can't check your ears properly.

[NightEldar]

@TheAmirGrg are you stupid dude? They actually said that NY cannot compare to London, meaning that they like London more? Is English your first language or what?
