Good afternoon from Uzbekistan
London life is interesting to know i think. London life is different from others countries. London life can be not the same as well. London is one of the popular's city in the world. London life can be disciplined ever. People use their time properly. That was my opinion. I have never been to London. It seems like museums at the big city. Monuments and buildings are the best. Thanks BBC♡
Thanks a lot. BBC . greetings from Mexico.
Hi everyone from Uzbekistan i love you
Thanks so much BBC Learning English

It's so difficult to understand slang. Sometimes it's difficult for mother tongue too.
Exactly! British speakers can travel to other parts of the country and not know the local slang. It's a good idea to listen to speakers from all over to widen your vocabulary. And you can always use standard English if you don't want to speak slang!
Very slang :))))
I have a question , if someone doesn't know any slang words or typical native speaker style and just simple speak English, is it bad or good ?
I can say Atlee(Indian film director), rhyming slang for Idly a south indian food.😂
👍👍👍
👍🏻🙏🏻❤
Hi there, in my opinion the BBC rhyming slang video is quite a "Brad" with my English students. 😂 Can you guess my s-lang???
Brad Pitt (rhymes with hit) 😂
We're hoping it's 'rad' which means very good, cool, or exciting 😆
those words don't exist in Cambridge Dictionary
They don't because they are part of dialect, cockney!
I heard london people speak in mle accent nowadays.
“Hello! I’m looking for someone to help me improve my English speaking skills. If someone is interested in helping me practice speaking, please let me know. Thank you!”
Why didn't you made a lyrics there
If you mean subtitles, you need to press the captions button on the video 😊
slang is so difficult...
It can be difficult to learn, but it can also be fun. And you can always use standard English instead if you're not sure.

Slang will be used differently depending on where native speakers are from whereas English should be understood by all native speakers! If you can use your English to communicate then that's good!
