"One thing they haven't made cooler..." "Cool" being slang for awesome is from the USA. Bro is using American slang unironically while trashing American English.
I like it very much because you are not intentionally dumbing people down, and showing genuine responses. One thing, as an Irish person... ouch, no one got it right, there IS a difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland when it comes to the UK.
Yes, yes, in retrospect, of course everybody realized that in the end. But since we have no idea where either country even is, everybody is just "Irish" in the United States.
When people talk of British accent they're usually referring to English Received Pronunciation. Welsh, Scots, and Northern Irish people typically have a very different sound when speaking English, as do many from regions different regions of England.
@@InstantEnglishUK heey! That's unfair! I studied British English in school since I'm from Russia (we study BrE). And you know what! I don't remember any bo'o'o'wau'ah cause it was distinct 't' there. What the reason of you promoting this? What didn't you tell us?
As a french person, I found this interresting. When we speak english, we used to mix up both british english and american english. I prefer american english accent, it's much easier to understand
Bonjour, Ça dépend pour qui, perso je comprends les 2 mais j'ai préférence très nette pour les accents britanniques. Mais c'est un fait incontestable que nous sommes beaucoup plus exposés à l'anglais américain, même les britanniques subissent cette influence.
I think it has to do with how we fully express some letters that British people don't. (i.e. Americans pronounce party (la teuf) as "Par-tee", while lots of British say "Pah-tee"). When you fully express all the sounds as they're written, it's easier for a foreigner to understand as they learn. Same reason why as a learner of French I have a better time of understanding French from France instead of whatever gobbledygook they speak in Quebec.
As a Uzbekistan English learner honestly i could say British is super cool, since 2019, I changed my accent from American to British, and now am British English speaker due to beautiful pronunciation, looved too much this accent ❤
I'm an English teacher (specializing in American English) and it was a lot of fun to watch it and to try to guess what those phrases meant in British. I gotta say I'm still learning English actually because I'm not from America, and it helped me improve my vocabulary in American English as well (I'm taking notes in a notebook haha).

As a Kazakhstani, I can say from the fact that I myself am interested in English for my studies and work - we were taught British English at school. The textbooks had drawings of London, red double-decker buses, a Big Ben, and the flag of Great Britain. I am currently attending English language courses in Kazakhstan (I am from the small town of Ekibastuz), we are taught here to distinguish but use both versions of the English language (both British English and American English).
As an American, I agree. There are some British accent I cannot understand. But then again, I can’t understand half the Southern United States when they speak.

We have our moments. Most usually good if not trying to make commuter connections during rush hour. Left side of escalators reserved for commuters. Common courtesy. Some missed connections could mean a wait of more than 10 minutes. Some commuter rail (the ones that look like real trains vice the Metro) have to share the track with CSX aka freight trains. So aside from the anxiety of that, we’re usually quite accommodating.

In South Louisiana where I'm from, in the language of Cajuns/Creoles, even more so.
An American friend of mine once studied abroad in Birmingham. On her first day their she caught a bus into the city and, after walking around all day seeing the city, she was very fatigued as she waited at a bus stop to go back to her new flat/apartment. When an elderly gentleman approached and waited beside her, she felt obligated to say something friendly to him. She wanted to express her state of fatigue by saying how tired her rear was, but she felt the word "butt" was too crude so instead she used a more quaint American expression, turning to him and saying, "My fanny is SO sore!"
I'm French, and tbh we don't really make the difference either. Some people who are more meticulous about geography and country name will care to precise Northern Ireland, but generally speaking the two are seen as the same thing? I don't really know how to explain it, it's a very special case. I think we mostly don't understand what's going on and why there's two half of a country, why there is the need to precise "hey I'm talking about the northerners", because it's just not something we learn.

We definitely do make the difference between north and south here. 😂 But the two Irelands seem chill af, so we generally don't see the difference between them and use Ireland indifferently without realizing it may be offensive or incorrect, actually.
I'm from Northern Ireland lol - it all started about 400 years ago or something when the English invaded Ireland. Now the two countries are divided. Protestant and Catholic views separate the two countries. Every 12th of July in Northern Ireland there's a huge celebration to celebrate King William of Orange or something - to celebrate his victory over the Catholics. I don't really care about it lol. Have you heard of Belfast before? Well, East & South Belfast are protestant and North & West belfast are catholic - so theres a bit of fighting. However, the one cool like about being Northern Irish is that we have 3 nationalities. I can choose whether to be British, Northern Irish or Irish and it will still be valid lol.
@@Capyrate Due to colonialism, currently there are 6 counties of Northern Ireland that are part of the country named the United Kingdom. The rest of Ireland is the country of Ireland. The independent republic in the EU.

Mi primer idioma es español soy un joven de 16 y e estudiado los 2 inglés y me parecen muy interesantes parecidos las diferencias son mínimas es como los diferentes acentos que tenemos en el Español
A British speaker wouldn’t normally ask if he could ‘get’ a bottle of water, unless he was trying to sound cool (or American). It’s very fashionable in Ireland though.
Such a nice video. Very interesting, entertaining and informative at the same time. I really enjoyed and had fun! 🥰👍. Amanda was best of all. Thanks for sharing it.
I just finished watching a documentary centered around events in the Yorkshire area (Bradford, Leeds, etc) and something that jumped out at me is that those folks substitute “were” where yanks say “was”, so when I go back to work, I’m going to start using that when I talk to my former RAF co-workers.
I watch so much stuff that takes place in and around Yorkshire that I often say were instead of was (and I'm American). Check out Happy Valley... some of the best TV out there! Side note, Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) is from up north and sang Coldplay's "Yellow" for a charity album. She has such a thick accent normally that people were joking it wasn't her singing because she should have sung, "... and it were all yellow..." Which is how I sing it when I hear it, now.
As a Spaniard I do understand pavement and sidewalk, rubbish and trash... for me, every word variation is just another example of English. I also use Mexican or Argentinian words when speaking Spanish. I think this behavior has something to do with how open minded someone is. I also prefer to discuss things that we all have in common, as to point out our differences. We all have to eat, sleep, work and take care of our loved ones, so it doesn´t matter what country you were born in. It just makes things be easier or harder, but at the end we all will overcome some day... hey, you guys from the video, you all were just amazing...!
It was really amazing, I really loved it, well most of my friends speak or follow American English , but I personally feel proud with British English and prefer not to use American while speaking and writing . My favorite accent is "Northern " , not getting myself into "London accent "
Excelent and interesting video bro... ps: this is my first time watching a video in english without subtittles and i am so happy for that... Sometimes i can make mistakes, but i think is part of the experience... Obviously i need to improve my english
Well, apartment is a more common word throughout the world. Spanish - apartamento Portuguese - apartamento Italian - appartamento French - appartement Romanian - apartament Korean - 아파트 (apatu) Japanese - アパート(apatu) American - apartment British - "you are all wrong!"
im 11 years old and im vietnamese, i speak english but both british and american and i understand them all (even though the prouniciation on them is different). Amanda she nailed it
I'm not an English speaker but even I liked it. It was fun, great video. The questions were interesting, maybe only question about UK Countries was pretty easy.
This was so cool 'n' funny. Just loved it. Couldn't help imaging doing this with other languages like German spoken in Germany 'n' the one spoken in Austria, Portuguese from Portugal 'n' from Brazil 'n' last but not least French spoken in Canada 'n' the one spoken in France...eheheh
It's not about preferences, I just think american english is easier for me to understand, but if I was able, I would love speaking like a british person !!!
Recomiendo que mires algo como EastEnders (una telenovela) o Bodyguard (una serie que se llama 'guardaespaldas' en Netflix Lat/Esp) o Line of Duty (creo que sea en movistar en España pero no estoy seguro de Latinoamérica). Esos programas te ayudarán a mejorar tu acento británico. ¡Buena suerte!
I love American accent because of its rhotic sound and it makes me satisfied when they said water, circular, singer, car, peter, roar, mother, father, layer, better etc and it is so feeling like incomplete when it is said ca, motha, fatha , sista, laya, betta ( my problem, not judging). I love British accent also especially Hermione ( Emma Watson ) I could hear all day
Here in Texas, we always end with a hard r sound, unlike in Boston, Massachusetts where they end with a soft r. So, you can’t say it’s true for all American English. There are definitely regional differences within the USA. There are definitely regional differences in the UK!
i never thought americans couldnt read basic sentences in british english, that literally made me shocked or perhaps they just tried to imitate the accent and as a turkish i almost never have tried to divide them in 2 different languages but now i see its not like that for americans
American pronunciation and spellings tend to be more true to the original Germanic roots of the words. British English tends to be more informed by the French spellings because of the Norman invasion. So American English is technically the closest thing to original English that we have today.
@@Tony-lj5lr I know. I didn’t mention Noah Webster or any other influence on American English that would have made it different from British dialect because I figured most people that read my comment would be able to figure things out by context clues and basic logic because they don’t lack brain cells and possess an extra pair of chromosomes like you.
English is a unique combination of Germanic (actually Scandinavian) and French that was formed in England, hence the word English. English is not German - it is a fusion language and American is certainly not closer to it’s original manifestation
@@loveroflife1914, both American and English accents are a modern invention, but the closest to that of several hundreds of years ago is English, regional accents like those in the West Country and those in the North
American English has largely influenced British English. AAVE alone has done that and some southern words like “y’all” can be heard across the pond now 😮
As a Russian, I can say that the American pronunciation is easier for me to understand, despite the fact that we study British English in schools...
I don't mean anything bad, it's just kinda like... my sensation, I guess? Actually, I really like both accents ❤
Interesting 😁
Well, as a Russian native speaker I understand both, but like British English more as I've been many times to London and even worked there a little. Mind the gap! 😁

Every 12th of July in Northern Ireland there's a huge celebration to celebrate King William of Orange or something - to celebrate his victory over the Catholics. I don't really care about it lol. Have you heard of Belfast before? Well, East & South Belfast are protestant and North & West belfast are catholic - so theres a bit of fighting. However, the one cool like about being Northern Irish is that we have 3 nationalities. I can choose whether to be British, Northern Irish or Irish and it will still be valid lol.
Hi
Hopefully some day there will only be three countries in the UK (and after that, hopefully eventually 2)
@@Capyrate Due to colonialism, currently there are 6 counties of Northern Ireland that are part of the country named the United Kingdom. The rest of Ireland is the country of Ireland. The independent republic in the EU.
You'll be forever my inspiration for speak English, Chris. ❤❤❤
I from Russia and... Yeah, we learning British English and understanding American too. I'm 15 years old and I ( not so cool, like my classmates ) understand the structure of English sentences. Your content is very good, I like it. So I didn't use the translator, when written all of that. ( Don't remember, V3(written) or V2(wrote) there must to be )

Орнул с концовки😂
FYI: "when writing all of that"
Could say “when I wrote all of that”
Mi primer idioma es español soy un joven de 16 y e estudiado los 2 inglés y me parecen muy interesantes parecidos las diferencias son mínimas es como los diferentes acentos que tenemos en el Español

Not minimal at all you need to learn more.
Lovely video. I think they all did a bloody good job, especially Amanda and Emma.
The guy from Tyler NEEDS his own show!!!! He's hilarious and really genuine! 😂
A British speaker wouldn’t normally ask if he could ‘get’ a bottle of water, unless he was trying to sound cool (or American). It’s very fashionable in Ireland though.
Such a nice video. Very interesting, entertaining and informative at the same time. I really enjoyed and had fun! 🥰👍. Amanda was best of all. Thanks for sharing it.
She was!
Daniel goes in character ahah i love it - amazing job from Amanda and Emma, yay!
I just finished watching a documentary centered around events in the Yorkshire area (Bradford, Leeds, etc) and something that jumped out at me is that those folks substitute “were” where yanks say “was”, so when I go back to work, I’m going to start using that when I talk to my former RAF co-workers.
I watch so much stuff that takes place in and around Yorkshire that I often say were instead of was (and I'm American). Check out Happy Valley... some of the best TV out there! Side note, Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) is from up north and sang Coldplay's "Yellow" for a charity album. She has such a thick accent normally that people were joking it wasn't her singing because she should have sung, "... and it were all yellow..." Which is how I sing it when I hear it, now.
@@EricaGamet🤫
'Were' is the subjunctive of 'was' and is correctly used after the use of a conditional verb. For example, one would say "If I were you".
Kid from Tyler definitely got some British decent, he's got the particular eccentricity I've seen so much before.
As a Spaniard I do understand pavement and sidewalk, rubbish and trash... for me, every word variation is just another example of English. I also use Mexican or Argentinian words when speaking Spanish. I think this behavior has something to do with how open minded someone is. I also prefer to discuss things that we all have in common, as to point out our differences. We all have to eat, sleep, work and take care of our loved ones, so it doesn´t matter what country you were born in. It just makes things be easier or harder, but at the end we all will overcome some day... hey, you guys from the video, you all were just amazing...!
Love the interviewees. Good selection. Those are good questions but they make it so fun to watch. 😂
Thank you so much!
It was really amazing, I really loved it, well most of my friends speak or follow American English , but I personally feel proud with British English and prefer not to use American while speaking and writing . My favorite accent is "Northern " , not getting myself into "London accent "
This video put a smile on my face ... so cute
I’m so glad to hear that mate
Excelent and interesting video bro... ps: this is my first time watching a video in english without subtittles and i am so happy for that... Sometimes i can make mistakes, but i think is part of the experience... Obviously i need to improve my english
BEST GOOD LUCK YOU GOT THIS!!
7:38 he’s so cuuuuuuuuute!!!!
He is born to be an actor! I replayed his segment many times🥰
Men with double chins? Cute? Okay.
@@jasonhaven7170it’s his personality that was sweet, he seemed like a nice guy. Don’t be such a hater.😂
@@Swttng780 Maybe stop eating so much
As a central Asian girl, I relatively found most of the questions easily 😁
Brilliant!
I’m Mexican and British English it’s always my way to go, I don’t know why, but it’s clearer to me.
Cheers mates!
lie
I'm from Taiwan,and this is my first time to know that British English and American English are so different.😮
Actually it should be only British English
both british and american english
today american english rules the roost due to us movies, tv series etc@@nisbea80
@@nisbea80 What do you mean?
Daniel is very expressive, he should make a channel.
Your channel is fun for learners of English like me, it's not boring, not too academic. It makes me feel study more fun, relax and also learn vocab
And after all some people keep saying that “English is a super easy language”??! Thank you for the smashingly funny video! 🤓🤩
Thank you for the lovely comment
it is tought jsj
What’s really funny is how that guy has started singing Mendelssohn’s wedding march
True
Enjoyed watching!!🤓🤓
Thank you!
Well, apartment is a more common word throughout the world.
Spanish - apartamento
Portuguese - apartamento
Italian - appartamento
French - appartement
Romanian - apartament
Korean - 아파트 (apatu)
Japanese - アパート(apatu)
American - apartment
British - "you are all wrong!"
Maybe because in Britain the first apartments were all on one floor, so they were "flat", as opposed to a larger house or building?
Banger - can be a firework !
As a foreginer American english is best for me it is easy to speak and it is understandble around the world
British English is understood in more English speaking countries.
Lol, I probably would have done horribly on the accent part, but the vocabulary/pop quiz given was pretty easy
That curly haired guy was hysterical
He was!
You can say that again! 😂😂😂
Knowing the language is important n no need to compare which country’s English is best.STOP comparing n START learning
As a black American from Northern California, it’s easy for me to use my context clues when it comes to slang😂 we’re the Mecca of Slang😎
The ladies did very well
Now Daniel was off his trolley 😂😂😂
im 11 years old and im vietnamese, i speak english but both british and american and i understand them all (even though the prouniciation on them is different). Amanda she nailed it
You chose the perfect people to interview, they were all so great.
Ha, the way you joined in on the melody of "here comes the bride" 😅
I'm not an English speaker but even I liked it. It was fun, great video. The questions were interesting, maybe only question about UK Countries was pretty easy.
This was so cool 'n' funny. Just loved it. Couldn't help imaging doing this with other languages like German spoken in Germany 'n' the one spoken in Austria, Portuguese from Portugal 'n' from Brazil 'n' last but not least French spoken in Canada 'n' the one spoken in France...eheheh
Haha it would be great
El español de España y que se habla en América latina , hey en Haití también se habla Francés
As a Polish I prefer American English. It sounds better and prettier😊
fair enough
It's not about preferences, I just think american english is easier for me to understand, but if I was able, I would love speaking like a british person !!!
That curly headed guy was hilarious
We need more this kind of videos🎉
Next one is this Saturday
lol...now this is how the differences should be treated. They're interesting and amusing.
Thank you 😊
Quien mas habla español y esta viendo Este video porqué le gusta el British accent 🇬🇧
Recomiendo que mires algo como EastEnders (una telenovela) o Bodyguard (una serie que se llama 'guardaespaldas' en Netflix Lat/Esp) o Line of Duty (creo que sea en movistar en España pero no estoy seguro de Latinoamérica). Esos programas te ayudarán a mejorar tu acento británico. ¡Buena suerte!
Daniel is singing “God save the Queen” with switched music (Bridal Chorus - Wagner).
Hilarious!!!
By the way, that double decker bus going by was a nice touch 😄
The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well
Daniel is so funny😂
I love American accent because of its rhotic sound and it makes me satisfied when they said water, circular, singer, car, peter, roar, mother, father, layer, better etc and it is so feeling like incomplete when it is said ca, motha, fatha , sista, laya, betta ( my problem, not judging). I love British accent also especially Hermione ( Emma Watson ) I could hear all day
Fair enough man! 😎😁
You may be interested to know that some parts of Britain have a rhotic accent.
Here in Texas, we always end with a hard r sound, unlike in Boston, Massachusetts where they end with a soft r. So, you can’t say it’s true for all American English. There are definitely regional differences within the USA. There are definitely regional differences in the UK!
- where’re u from?
- I’m from Tyler
😂😂😂
I'm from Algeria
Tyler, Texas
I like your British accent ❤😊
This was refreshing. No insults at least not serious ones. just folks having a good time. Worst part was it had to end.
i never thought americans couldnt read basic sentences in british english, that literally made me shocked or perhaps they just tried to imitate the accent and as a turkish i almost never have tried to divide them in 2 different languages but now i see its not like that for americans
So you think a few people who are probably uncomfortable on camera got nervous and read wrong represents the entire country?
The USA and the UK are two entirely different cultures. The language has taken two different paths accordingly.
@@loganflatt It's the same language and the same culture with minor differences.
@@caramia4789 lol the differences are huge, not minor
@@loganflatt an example please...
American pronunciation and spellings tend to be more true to the original Germanic roots of the words. British English tends to be more informed by the French spellings because of the Norman invasion.
So American English is technically the closest thing to original English that we have today.
norman invasion happened centuries before america was even established dude.
@@Tony-lj5lr I know. I didn’t mention Noah Webster or any other influence on American English that would have made it different from British dialect because I figured most people that read my comment would be able to figure things out by context clues and basic logic because they don’t lack brain cells and possess an extra pair of chromosomes like you.
Also, the modern British accent is, well, a modern invention.
English is a unique combination of Germanic (actually Scandinavian) and French that was formed in England, hence the word English. English is not German - it is a fusion language and American is certainly not closer to it’s original manifestation
@@loveroflife1914, both American and English accents are a modern invention, but the closest to that of several hundreds of years ago is English, regional accents like those in the West Country and those in the North
American English has largely influenced British English. AAVE alone has done that and some southern words like “y’all” can be heard across the pond now 😮
Y’all was originally from England.
@@Spiffington “y’all”did not originate in England, that 100% southern states in America
Y’all was first used in a book in England in 1631. Do you really think the language spoken in London was affected by the American south at that time?
@@Spiffington Imma go look that up cuz ian never heard of this.
@@Spiffington completely false lmao
The Texan lad is hilarious!
You managed to choose the right people that was an amazing video!
Very amusing!!! I want another video like this !!!!
I have another one coming but from Miami
