    Can you record some short stories. For example oliver twist from charles dickens. I will probably listen it. Please do it. It can improve our pronunciation

    I'd love to hear a whole conversation with hidden lessons, with someone else (or yourself :P). It would be nice to have a monologue I can practice. :) Congratulations on (almost) reaching 500k subscribers! It's well deserved and many more.

    I absolutely adore that "Running dogs and cats":))) Well, living in Ireland , I hear this lovely idiom quite often from mature Irish Gentlemen, and have hearing these words, every time I begin looking around - where ARE all those dogs and cats running away of the heavy rain?😂Thanks for the lovely lesson, Alian😊

    I’m actually French and studied British English in school (long time ago) but because of Netflix and tv series and the fact that as a non native I tend to mimic, I just started having an American accent. So this is perfect !

    Cold Turkey-try to quit something completely
    Out in the sticks-live away from city
    Neck of the woods-your area, your location,where you are from
    Do/done a runner-to escape, to run away
    By the skin of my/your teeth-very close to not achieve goals

    Thanks a lot . You are a superb teacher on British accent. I am watching from Bangladesh. But at times, I fall in problem in listening what you are talking about. So would you give each video lessons with subtitles? If
    you kindly provide each video, then millions of learners will be greatly benifited who are non native speakers throughout the world .

    I learned British English when I began speaking English. Born in Ceylon before the name change and then moved to England when I was two. Relocated to the United States when I was 10 1/2 and was teased about my English accent and retrained in American English. My pronunciation changes at home when I talk to my parents though - more British sounding but with a sing-song Ceylonese intonation. And they use words no longer used in modern Britain -- dickey for boot (of a car); spectacles or specs instead of "glasses". Also, cinema instead of "the movies" and biscuit instead of "cookie". I've noticed a fair number of American words and phrases have crept into British English - " out in the sticks", for example, is an American expression. So is "cold turkey".
