7
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:24.960
[Music]

8
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.279

10
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.040

so today i'm going to show you 15 simple

12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.440
phrases to help you sound more british

13
00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:42.640
okay now this video really is just a bit

14
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.479
of fun right

15
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.920
that said if you are living in the uk

16
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.239
then this could be really useful to help

17
00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:52.960
you understand british people and even

18
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.960
get inside their heads

19
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.120
a dangerous place to be

20
00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:00.160
also if you enjoy british films or tv

21
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:03.280
series this can be really useful

22
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.000
most of all though i think this video

23
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.438
will help you

24
00:01:07.438 --> 00:01:10.000
start to change your mindset from just

25
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.880
being

26
00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:12.479
an english student

27
00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:15.840
to being a confident english speaker

28
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.560
right it's all about communication and i

29
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.560
want to try and take you away just from

30
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.840
your books and into the real world of

31
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:24.840
english

32
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.240
communication in particular in britain

33
00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:29.280
okay

34
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.000
now a quick word of warning if you are

35
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:33.840
an ielts student

36
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.159
these phrases are not

37
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.400
really for ielts speaking

38
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:39.438
why

39
00:01:39.438 --> 00:01:41.680
because they are slang and they are

40
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.680
regional they're from britain

41
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.479
um so i would not recommend using this

42
00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:48.320
kind of slang in your ielts speaking

43
00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:49.360
test

44
00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:52.320

45
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.880

one by one to you i'll give you the more

77
00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:13.519
common expression and some synonyms and

78
00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:16.560
then explain this british expression

79
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.480
and also at the end of the video you

80
00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:20.879
will be able to get a pdf for free with

81
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.720
all of this information

82
00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:26.080
lovely let's go

83
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.560
okay let's begin with greetings now when

84
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.879
you meet somebody um the most common

85
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.360
greeting of course is hello

86
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.920
you can also say hi

87
00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:43.120
in many parts of britain we say higher

88
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.080
higher

89
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.000
i don't know how you spell that but it

90
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.120
sounds like

91
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.760
the comparison high higher higher

92
00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:53.680
and if you say that to a british person

93
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.439
they'll probably go oh

94
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.200
where did you learn that

95
00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:00.159
and you can say oh some bloke some bloke

96
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.640
some man some bloke off the internet

97
00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:04.879
yeah can't remember his name

98
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.040
some bloke off youtube

99
00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:08.799
now another very colloquial way of

100
00:04:08.799 --> 00:04:11.200
saying hello is all right

101
00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:13.840
and it's a bit like a question

102
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.920
you just go all right

103
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:17.519
and the answer is

104
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.400
all right it's exactly the same dead

105
00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:22.240
easy and you've got to do this with your

106
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.080
head

107
00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:25.759
all right

108
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.000
all right

109
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.440
okay now after hello you've got

110
00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:35.279
classically how are you fine thanks

111
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.560
right but there are a lot of more

112
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.360
colloquial ways of saying that for

113
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:40.639
example

114
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:44.479
how's it going how's it zit how's it

115
00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:45.759
going

116
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.360
how are you doing

117
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.639
how were you how are you doing

118
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.960
and in the conversation we saw how's

119
00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:54.479
tricks

120
00:04:54.479 --> 00:04:55.680
how's

121
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.400
tricks grammatically incorrect right

122
00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:00.960
should be how are tricks but we actually

123
00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:03.360
say house tricks

124
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.080
and well british people

125
00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:08.800
we often don't get very excited right we

126
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.759
often don't go oh yeah great awesome

127
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.039
amazing

128
00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:15.680
no usually not bad

129
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.279
can't complain

130
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.160
and in the video we had mustn't grumble

131
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.880
mustn't grumble right to grumble is to

132
00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:26.160
complain so it's all very calm right and

133
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.199
very

134
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:28.960
unemotional

135
00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:32.080
how's tricks mustn't grumble

136
00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:35.520
have a go how's tricks

137
00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:36.720
lovely

138
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.840
let's move on

139
00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:46.639
so next let's look at inviting

140
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.960
so typically if you want to invite

141
00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:51.520
somebody in british you would say would

142
00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:53.279
you like uh

143
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.520
something would you like a coffee would

144
00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:57.680
you like a piece of cake

145
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.479
or with a verb would you like to go for

146
00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:01.600
a coffee

147
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.560
would you like to go out

148
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.919
british people use that but we also use

149
00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:09.680
the word fancy

150
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.560
do you fancy a coffee do you fancy a

151
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.160
coffee

152
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.479
do you fancy a piece of cake

153
00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:18.880
what's interesting right is the do you

154
00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:20.479
we often

155
00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:21.520
drop

156
00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:25.120
and so we just say fancy a coffee

157
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.199
fancy a coffee

158
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.880
fancy a piece of cake

159
00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:30.800
and if there's a verb it goes to the

160
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.919
gerund right fancy going out for a

161
00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:36.240
coffee

162
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:37.680
great so

163
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.960
if you want to invite me to a cup of tea

164
00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:43.759
what could you say

165
00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:46.880
right

166
00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:48.560
fancy a cup of tea

167
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.919
or fancy going out for a cup of tea

168
00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:52.800
great

169
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.400
fancy moving on

170
00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:57.038
let's move on

171
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.120
okay next let's talk about describing

172
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.039
something that is easy

173
00:07:05.039 --> 00:07:08.000
and also about being happy right so if

174
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.319
something's easy of course you can say

175
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.039
it's easy um there's the idiom it's a

176
00:07:13.039 --> 00:07:15.599
piece of cake right this exam was a

177
00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:16.960
piece of cake

178
00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:20.560
or driving a car is a piece of cake it's

179
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.520
easy

180
00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:23.919
in the british conversation we had it's

181
00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:25.440
a doddle

182
00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:27.120
a doddle

183
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.599
it's a doddle can you say that

184
00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:34.560
right so the exam was a doddle

185
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.800
it's a very british thing

186
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.199
well that was a doddle now

187
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.919
talking about being happy there are many

188
00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:44.400
ways of saying this right i'm happy

189
00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:48.000
i'm delighted i'm thrilled it's quite a

190
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.360
common one

191
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.560
and with that one i'm thrilled we often

206
00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:31.840
great now you may be describing

207
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:34.640
something as being really good or cool

208
00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:35.760
or great

209
00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:38.719
sometimes we say it's wicked

210
00:08:38.719 --> 00:08:40.880
it's wicked

211
00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:42.320
it's very slang

212
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.519
i mean wicked really means evil nasty

213
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.080
and bad but as a slang expression it

214
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.958
means cool awesome it's wicked

215
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:57.680
okay that was a doddle let's move on

216
00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:06.000
now if you're enjoying this video please

220
00:09:12.640 --> 00:09:13.519
so

221
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.399
continuing with the theme of being happy

222
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.800
let's talk about joking

223
00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:20.320
of course this is when you're not

224
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.360
serious and you can say i'm joking

225
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.720
quite commonly we also say i'm kidding

226
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.000
right to kid

227
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.399
is to joke you probably know the word a

228
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:34.399
kid is a child but the verb to kid is to

229
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.399
joke i'm kidding i'm kidding with you

230
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.120
we have a great idiomatic expression as

231
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.760
well which is i'm pulling your leg

232
00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:46.958
what are you doing

233
00:09:46.958 --> 00:09:48.880
i'm pulling your leg

234
00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:50.880
to mean i'm joking

235
00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:53.200
it's funny right in spanish they have a

236
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.399
similar expression but it's

237
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.279
i'm pulling your hair

238
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:00.480
what are you doing are you pulling my

239
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.600
hair no i'm pulling your leg i wonder in

240
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.760
your language do you have a similar

241
00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:08.000
expression

242
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.880
now in the conversation we saw with my

243
00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:14.078
uh twin brother

244
00:10:14.078 --> 00:10:16.000
you also heard

245
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:17.519
a very

246
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.800
common

247
00:10:18.800 --> 00:10:21.839
phrasal verb meaning to joke but very

248
00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:23.679
few people know

249
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:25.839
but now you will know because you're not

250
00:10:25.839 --> 00:10:28.480
just a student you're becoming a speaker

251
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.200
right an english speaker and that is to

252
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.839
have someone on

253
00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:36.078
i'm having you on

254
00:10:36.078 --> 00:10:38.958
it means i'm joking with you right in

255
00:10:38.958 --> 00:10:42.559
the video i was having my twin brother

256
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.480
on

257
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.160
i'm having you on he's not my twin

258
00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:47.440
brother

259
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.360
i'm having you on can you say that

260
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.279
nice confident english speaker love it

261
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:59.399
let's move on

262
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.240
right enough of being happy and joking

263
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.120
and having you on let's talk about being

264
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.480
unhappy

265
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.880
so if you're unhappy you can say i'm

266
00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:14.720
upset

267
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.880
in the video conversation

268
00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:18.720
with my twin brother

269
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:19.679
um

270
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.160
i said i'm gutted

271
00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:25.519
i'm gutted just means i'm not happy i'm

272
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.320
very unhappy

273
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.880
to gut it comes from originally from

274
00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:33.360
when you take from an animal you take

275
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.600
the stomach out of the animal you can

276
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.320
imagine if somebody takes your stomach

277
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.240
out you will be gutted literally and

278
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.120
idiomatically

279
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.839
either way not very happy so you can say

280
00:11:45.839 --> 00:11:49.279
i'm gutted i failed my ielts test i'm

281
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.440
gutted

282
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.920
i know it's not a laughing matter

283
00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:56.000
now sometimes you can be gutted or

284
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.320
unhappy because you've made a mess of

285
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:00.480
something right and if you make a mess

286
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.720
of something we've got a great idiomatic

287
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.839
expression to make a pig's ear of

288
00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:09.279
something that's right to make a pig

289
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:10.399
oink

290
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.639
ear a pig's ear

291
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.920
of something i made a pig's ear of that

292
00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:17.120
exam

293
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.600
or if you're cooking a dish and it turns

294
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.559
out terrible oh i made a pig's ear of

295
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.440
that dish so sometimes when you're

296
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.279
writing an essay you can make a pig's

297
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.720
ear of your essay and you will be gutted

298
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:32.320
i'm sure

299
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.480
so let's move on and talk about finding

300
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.480
solutions

301
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.078
now when we find a solution in english

302
00:12:44.078 --> 00:12:47.279
we just say there you are right there

303
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.679
you have it there you are

304
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.399
easy sometimes we use the french word

305
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:53.519
voila

306
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.720
voila

307
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.600
without the french intonation voila

308
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:59.920
there you are there's the solution in

309
00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:01.679
britain we also have this great

310
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.279
expression bob's your uncle

311
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.559
what who's my uncle bob i don't have an

312
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.720
uncle bob yes you do you've got an uncle

313
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.839
his name is bob and bob's your uncle

314
00:13:13.839 --> 00:13:14.559
so

315
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:16.559
when you're giving a solution right you

316
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.440
say well there's the problem do this do

317
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.279
that do that and bob's your uncle

318
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.600
easy peasy

319
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.839
let's move on and talk about being tired

320
00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:30.320
which you may well be at this stage of

321
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:34.920
the video stick with me

322
00:13:37.920 --> 00:13:41.440
next let's talk about being

323
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.600
excuse me about being tired now you

324
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.600
probably know the expressions i'm

325
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.120
exhausted

326
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.958
i'm beat

327
00:13:50.958 --> 00:13:53.199
in britain we also have the expression

328
00:13:53.199 --> 00:13:54.720
i'm knackered

329
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.040
i'm knackered right

330
00:13:57.040 --> 00:14:00.880
i'm really really tired i'm knackered

331
00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:02.399
if you are

332
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.958
very tired then of course you need to

333
00:14:04.958 --> 00:14:08.160
get some sleep go and have a rest

334
00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:09.839
in britain we would say

335
00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:11.679
go and have a nap

336
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.440
or have a kip

337
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.720
have a nap

338
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.920
have a kip it's a short sleep

339
00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:22.000
um or you can also say get some shut eye

340
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.639
i'm going to get some shut eye

341
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.560
get some shut i it's logical right

342
00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:31.279
nice expressions so

343
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.040
excuse me i've got to get some shut eye

344
00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:37.040

347
00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:47.120
