I was sat on the park bench when all of a sudden a quite large man approached me. He offered me a drink of water. He must have been able to tell I was quite parched. Either way, I was totally astonished at his generosity. After all, there’s nothing quite like a stranger treating you like a mate.
Most British sentence ever created in history

My teacher saw a huge difference in me and my best *mate's* accents' and asked us "why the sudden change hannah and faith? We shared a longing look before i answered "british has gotten to us, hasnt it mate?" And she replied "yes, it quite has. Kinda weird innit?"
lets say class was interesting in that session👁👄👁💅🏻
lol

🤣🤣🤣
1] 0:09 - Put the word 'Quite' in every sentences before you describe something.
2] 1:13 - Call everyone 'Mate'. Always say 'Mate' instead of 'Friend', 'Pal' or 'Buddy'.
3] 2:09 - Pronounce the 'T's or don't pronounce them at all.
4] 4:15 - Pronounce 'Been' like the same as you would pronounce 'Seen'.
5] 5:11 - I was sat/I was stood. (British dialect)
6] 8:36 - Don't pronounce the 'R's at the end of the words. End the words with an 'A'.

I say bin sometimes instead been

Here I am 3 years later after this being my first British video to learn in 2019 and now I am British with a British accent thanks Mike mate .
This was really well done. One of the best explanations I've come across. You really nailed the U.S. pronunciations.
Definitely was a huge culture shock for when us Americans first heard British people speaking (commonly with Harry Potter) & having normal conversations to realize how different it was & that we did the 'd' sound.

I’m from America but I’ve been watching British CZcamsrs since I was about 7 so I have basically formed a slight British accent but it usually is a bit more intense when I’m with my friends or I’m yelling at someone

oUU 300th LiKE
You are super amazing teacher. Am from different country but I live in London. I got quite mixed accent and I wanna learn proper British and right English. Here I come. Thanks a lot👍
Number one watch it before doing the accent! Watching even like 30 seconds of it helps tremendously I don’t even know how but after watching this for 30 seconds my accent goes from a 60/100 to a 90/100 in literally 30 seconds! I always watch a bit of it before speaking English.
When you’re already British and watch this

I'm learning the language and need to practice listening to the local accent. Your sharing is great.

I'm American, and this video made me realize that I somehow picked up the "I was sat" thing. No idea where I got it from, but I think it's neat that in the internet age, little dialect things get spread all over.

1. Use “quite” more often
2. Use “mate” more than pals/friends/buddies
3. “T”s could be more pronounced OR just not pronounced
4. “ee”s are pronounced with a long “e” sound
5. Different dialect usage, like saying “I was sat/stood” instead of “I was sitting/standing”
6. “R”s less rolled, just said smoothly and barely pronounced
Quite useful,thanks mate
@@fidanasay5242 Congratulations, you now sound Bri ish
We finally sound Quite bri ish mate
Thanks mate
that's quite a useful tip, innit?
well, thank you mate.
LOVE YOUR VIDEO MATE ! PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM .
A very good effort if I may say.... you chose very good examples indeed. Well done. How clever of you to teach Arabic... wow that is a complicated language.
Mum:What are you doing?

Very useful, thank you mate!
It's an amazing English teaching. The best steps in English learning are listening, reading (cap. Or sub.), speaking (try to imitate the natives speak) and writing. Am I right?
How's Coronavirus in the UK?
It's quite bad, a lot of people quite died.
Matthew Lo no you just say “it’s quite bad, a lot of people died” you don’t need to say “quite” all the time
I’d say that quite a lot of people died don’t say it before the died
Mmmh Yesss... quite classy.
Their prime Minister has it, or had it.
My country has foolishly eased restrictions, which is... Mildly irritating...
that's quite sad mate
The reason the British don't say the "T", they drink it.
You’re funny
omgggggg haha
@panos not funny bro
us brits don't even speak with much an accent unless you're down south and wanna do a shrek impression
if so, go for it. but trust me ya come here and talk like that n it's disrespectful
Im wheezing
• Gacha Nugget • i mean ofc you don’t think you speak with an accent because you live in England or wherever.
it’s like saying americans don’t have an accent and the person saying that lives in america.
Thanks mate that was quite helpful
Thanks I have been with the British accent for over 3 years.
Nobody:
British be like:
I am Bri...ish.
no one here says "i am" it's alway "I'm" 😂😂
I am Bridish
Being a brit myself, that has got to be the best reply I've ever seen
I feel quite SCHTEOOPID today on a CHEWSday mate I'm bri ish!!
@Protogen Freeman omg
As a British person, laughing a lot at this video. Didn't quite realise how often we use the word 'quite' until watching this. I use this word quite a lot of the time.
Gabriella Dines r u a girl ?
Ur joking right... it's must be a posh accent thing. 'Quite'
LordOfThe Flightless no, not joking. I found it hilarious when he pointed it out. I don't think it's a posh accent thing. I reckon it's used by those of a cockney accent too.
English Grammar yes, why'd you ask?
Yeah I use quite *quite* a lot...lol anyway.
Just love to listen to you. This is my kind of lullaby ❤️
This video was quite good

0:56 lies, we never say the weather is quite good. Cuz it never is. 😂
ENGLISH WEATHER IS ALWAYS S#!T!! It's always too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry...
We're always complaining about the forecast
My weather is really cold by the sea
I wouldnt complain about the cold, in brazil is hot all year round there’s no cold i love cold :’)
@Smit Shilpatul very rarely. Like maybe once every few years. The problem is that the heat is very stifling. Kinda like heat before a storm.
@Smit Shilpatul yeah we know we don't have very hot weather, we just like to complain and talking about the weather is the good to conversation starter. XD
