- This is the first in a new series called 'English & Friends' where I chat to my mates about the language and culture of Britain. We start off with the very awesome Dan from Britspeak. He and I talk about British accents, the best TV series to learn English AND we debate which one is correct: Dinner or Tea?

What a lovely conversation to listen to, thanks to both of you 🤩
Thanks for listening! Glad you enjoyed it
Our pleasure Alice! Make sure you go check out Dan's channel for more great British English : )
"Fair to middling" is also used in the US.
That’s good to know! 😊
Great!!! I really enjoyed it!!!
Many thanks to both of you for this conversation. Don't know why but it was very inspiring for me to continue to learn English.
Amazing conversation! Tom, you were quite jealous of Dan's hair gel, weren't you? 😆
😂
Ha! Yes I am! How did you know?
i liked it so much that i watched it twice, thank u budddies keep doing it, i love ya
When I lived in London I learnt watching Eastenders
"Chip butty", "proper boring" - finally I can hear the terms I learnt from your books years ago! Cool!
😂 it is obviously a great book
Woohoo! Finally ; )
Listening to your conversation, Tom, was not too shabby.😊 To be honest with you, the Yorkshire dialect is one of my favorites, but I have decided to stick to the London based English I'm learning from you and Ally. Dan is fun in every way, however his taste of food isn't quite my cup of tea. Talking about tea, that was so interesting hearing you two explain the divide in terms concerning the different meals of the day: breakfast, lunch and dinner, versus breakfast, dinner and tea. I was brought up with the extra super and I always felt confused and unsure on when to use what except for breakfast and brunch.
The part concerning the most captivating series or film ever is quite easy: the Bourne trilogy (has become a five-ology by now) and the "Hitman films", also the Equalizer films with Denzel Washington. One of the most captivating series to me was San Ku Kay (Japanese) and Game of Thrones. I loved them both soooo much!
By the way 1: maybe you could do the other way round from Tom Grennan, become a British football star!
By the way 2: would you be so kind as to correct the preposition "from" in By the way 1 if necessary? Cheers mate!
Ohhh Dan the Cones with tea
Great conversation session!
Cheers for listening mate 😊
Thanks Eric! Glad you liked it mate : )
Tom if you like the Glasgow accent , try and find some of the old Scottish TV shows made by Stanley Baxter ( before he went south and had mega budgets to blow - he's still with us at 97 BTW ). Or look into Francie and Josie ( a stage comedy act that was an early TV comedy stalwart ). You'll be surprised by their accents and vocab compared to the likes of Kevin Bridges nowadays. I always think Frankie Boyle sounds quite posh to my ears. He certainly is compared to the stuff Billy Connelly was puting on his records in the early 1970s.
I’m definitely gonna check these out. Thanks for the tips!
Great tips, thanks for sharing : )
I love the YORKSHIRE accent, mate @britspeak!! 🤘🏼 Brits have 40+ accents, 'cos they have zero emotions. 😂 And in the Northern side of the UK, especially in winter, the sunset is pretty earlier, so you say DINNER instead of saying LUNCH 😂😂😂 I love 🇬🇧
It was an awesome conversation
Thanks for listening 😊
Glad you enjoyed mate : )
Very nice conversation sir
Cheers!
Glad you liked it : ) There will be lots more conversations like this one coming over the next few weeks : )
Smashing! British accent is really lovely.
Thanks! glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much! Make sure you check out Dan's videos for more accent stuff : )
Please, could you write down the TV series that you were talking about? It was hard to get some titles. Thanks a lot
I can’t remember off the top of my head but it was probably… bottom, red dwarf, father ted, Alan Partridge, peaky blinders, breaking bad, black mirror, it crowd, inbetweeners 😊
@@Brit-speak Thanks a lot Dan!!👏👏👏
Check them out Carlos! I'm sure you'll find one or two that you really like
If possible, hope to see Tom and EnglishwithLewis in a video.
Oh yeah! That would be fun!
@@Brit-speakHi, Dan, maybe next time Tom will be with Stew sensei in a video,haha.
haha stranger things have happened!@@yongchingping8025
Have Luke from Luke’s English Podcast! 🙏
That’s a good shout 👍
Thanks for the suggestion mate : )
We're all hobbits, really. Brunch is second breakfast. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, tea & finish off with supper. & don't forget the snack known as elevenses! Then there's that midnight snack...
I hate having to lie about how I am, so I always answer "How are you?" with "Alive" because at least that's always true, then quickly follow with "& you?" I wish we'd figure out another way to greet each other, since no one who's asking really cares how anyone is! Another option to answer "How are you?" with is "Can't complain" -- you don't have to tell them that the reason you can't complain is that it wouldn't be socially acceptable!
I will watch ANYTHING with Rik & Ade. FUNNY LADS! I was gutted when Rik left us.
Hello, I want to study English with you. pleased to meet
You look like Daniel Radcliff actually
Where's the subtitles 😕
The cringe level from 'I'm 3 bad'. 📈🤣🤪
Haha it is a great expression! 😂
LOLS!
