Gideon is best.

One important grammar difference was missed. My Indian colleagues tend to ask: Can you able...? instead of Are you able? Here this in almost every telecon... 'Can you able to see my screen?' in 9 out 10 times...

The US Movie was shown by Oprah to a group of kids. They couldn’t understand the language of the British version. It was changed !!! I’m Dutch so my statement might be a bit odd, but I’m learning from your videos. Thank you.

this is crazy

The Indian guy is not representative of English speakers in India. He speaks with a Hindi accent.

As the most widely spoken, second language, the English language belongs to the whole world. All that matters, imo, is that it should be intelligible to any careful listener with a reasonable level of English comprehension. The variety of accents in Britain, alone, in the days before radio and tv homogenised them somewhat, was greater than any differences, worldwide, now. I’m pretty certain that, say, aJapanese ESL and a Brazilian one, at a similar level, would have less trouble communicating than me (aged five) and my newly-found, Geordie, holiday friend did in 1949. We grew up within 100 miles of each other yet our accents were totally different.

You people discussing about English but, when any language people speak another language it will different pronunciation to native speakers.

Beautiful Indian english accent, very pleasant on the ear.

I tried to give everybody a thumbs up but I ran out of time

It's one thing to explain the meaning it's another thing to explain the origin let's try to explain the origin please I know it's challenging but it's my hobby

It's just as common as having an uncle named Bob it's just that simple it's just that obvious everybody has an uncle named Bob

So apparently everybody in England has an uncle named Bob

Lmao if you close your eyes it sounds like Michael Caine is talking.

The explanation of cash and carry was not accurate though . It means you can pay and carry it ( say , the gas cylinder ) yourself , instead of your turn coming up for the agency to deliver it to your doorstep .

Head nodding 😂😂😂😂

I see one person who only knows one language and another who knows 4. It's clear who is better at languages lol

Stewie from Family Guy

I think everyone has different pronunciation.

Why would you pour butter on the computer? 😂

Pilgrims originally settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts not Puritans. Puritans originally settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony. There's a difference - Pilgrims separated from the Church of England and Puritans wanted to reforn the Church of England. No cussing on TV in the US that's the reason for minced oaths. I use the term cockroach and I'm from the US.

In south especially Andhra,we had lots of scottish people who were stationed from british. So, we have big influence on that accent.

not many people in America speak american English either

Hello. I just found you and I suscribed really fast bc your going to be my new teacher. I'm a Mexican veterinarian in USA and my company pay me particular English lessons in a famous platform but I feel that it's not being too effective, so I came to find something that fit better to my necessities. Clearly would be better for me to have american accent teachers, but your content is so good that I don't care. You are so full of wisdom, culture and many more good qualities. Thank you very much for your dedicated effort bringing this materials to the world.

If you say hour as au-ea-ar (sorry I don't know how to put in the IPA script), isn't that a triphthong?

I keep coming back to your videos after years. They're definitely ever green. Thanks Gideon you're the dog's bollocks!

Isn't in Vale/t/?

We were taught in the school saying 'mention not' after the 'thank you' is the rude manners. Better, say 'thank you' in reply.

Ajay great conversation there. Loved it

Youngsters don't say what's your good name...thank God...😂

Hindi and Marathi have the same writing system unlike what he claims in 1:25 and Devanagari is the name of the script. The parent language is Sanskrit. Oof.

English is an Indian language, more than any where else speakers are in India. It is the language in which courts and administration work

Now look you, Wenglish has been around since the time of Shakespeare's Fluellen

Que? kkkkk lol

"Scotlands second famous drink, it's called Irn Bru" *turns to the camera "Other drinks are available"

I want to learn this lol. I'm southern so would be hard though.

In some Indian cultures, it is common for people to have two names, one is called the "pet" name which is used to be called by people within the household only, and the other one is the official name which will be registered in the records. So when they're asking for good name they are asking for your real name.

I suppose we got the /HAR/ and /SAR/ from the more traditional Received Pronunciation. We could have picked it up from the British official during the Raj.

Gabor Maté has really switched up his style since moving to the UK and getting into pastries.

I must say that I was puzzled the first time I've heard my Indian colleagues asking me if I wanted to eat non-veg

Good name from Bengali

Why didn’t this presenter first research the Devanagari script/pronunciations before coming up with this .

I married a Scot from Fife, ye dinna spin with a fifer! After 51 years I still have fun understanding what he says!

My American mother was visiting my great grandmother in the North of England when she asked my mother “Cuppa d char, luv?” My mother had no idea what she was saying. My great grandmother then switched dialects and asked, “Would you like a cup of tea?”

Thank you 🙏🏻

*Keep a translator when visiting England* or a notebook

As Dostoyevsky pointed out, a common profanity has multiple meanings depending on the way in which it is spoken. It is no different than the word “quite“in this regard.

Your observation that stressing the adjective gives a different meaning to the sentence is true of any sentence in English and has nothing to do with the meaning of quite. For example, saying “your simply beautiful“ changes nuance if you emphasize simply in one case, and beautiful in the other.

A lingua Franca would be a good thing from the point of view of a deterministic humankind, but not from a strictly Christian point of view. It would foster industry, innovation, achievement. Which is precisely why God reacted negatively to the tower of babel and forced humans to speak a variety of languages. God noted that with a common language there was nothing humans could not do, which would derogate God’s sovereignty and necessitated a multiplication of languages.

41%. What are they ? Examplify some of them , would you please ?

Just came to check if I as an American, am, in fact, fluent.
