    Thanks for watching! Just thought I’d mention that “naff” can also mean something is a bit distasteful or unfashionable (eg. Ugly trousers you see in a shop). See you next week! 🤓

    Those are really British words. The greeting at the begging of the video was:
    "You know, oh, it's a funny thing, you know?"
    Bloody - 'Curse word' - something bad happens or to emphasize
    Scrap - Physical fight with somebody
    Row - vocal/verbal argument with somebody
    Cuppa - To have a Cup of tea - you fancy a cuppa? or a 'cuppa of beer' (more accurate example LOL)
    Snog - Passionately kiss someone (make out in American)
    Naff - Not very good (a bit rubbish)
    Knickers- The lower half of ladies underwear (weird often British expression, I wonder why?) Could you give us an example of daily chatting?
    Fluke - to do it by luck
    Chuffed - really happy and pleased with yourself
    Thanks a lot, Elliot. Excellent lesson.

    What I don’t see anyone explaining is the fact that English, no matter the accent, is spoken through somewhat of a smile, which makes it sound a little softer. A lady from UK explained it to me, when I asked how I can fix my pronunciation (I am Russian). It actually helped a lot.
    But regardless, Elliot, I am very thankful for your lessons on UA-cam, they help a lot, even though it’s still a ton of work. But what isn’t?

    After scrapping and rowing, some snogging would be chuffing. But sometimes, if there is no fluke, it turns into being naffing. Eventually, better to have a cuppa ! 😜 Stay safe 🇮🇹🍀🇬🇧

    It seems many friends remember 'Bloody Hell' from Ron in Harry Potter.
    Elliott is the best pronunciation teacher in my view. Harry Potter inspired me of learning British accent. Not only my listening is better, but also speaking. I then follow Elliott's teaching from that.
