I’m from Russia, and teachers usually teach us British English. But I realised that I know some American versions of words too)) Thanks for your video🩷 Very interesting and useful!

[nymshfk]

I confidently said "trash" at 2:57

[cowgirl_]

3:34 I so confidentally said "beach."

[ntudzef]

I speak both american and british. Anyone else?

[suchismitajacob]

As an Indian I speak a mixture of both British and American English. Sometimes words that are in neither of them 😅.Like Brinjal meaning Eggplant/Aubergine. English is of several kinds not just 2. ❤

[Amuztak]

They always forget Australian. I'd love to see the differences between Australian, American and British English

[grace_xyz]

As an Australian, here are all the names we would generally call the items in the video:

1:26 chips
2:17 chips
2:58 rubbish/rubbish bin
3:35 holiday
4:33 truck
5:13 biscuit
5:56 torch
6:23 pram OR stroller. can be both
6:40 dummy
7:21 pants
7:53 lift OR elevator. can be both

It is a mix between both but I feel like it is more British English than American English lol.

[sunitashinde]

As an Indian now I'm realizing that I've learned mixture of British, American and Indian english 😅😅😅😅

[kalyanjyotidutta]

Them : Vacation, Holiday
Meanwhile me who said "beach" at 3:53

[mrekkalipso]

Im from Poland. We teach in school british english, but american culture have big influence. So in the end many people, young people speak mix of american and british english. Also the same case when we pronuonce, some people more use british, and many people use american pronuonce. I more use american pronuonce, i think. So this is interesting situation 😄

[MarsLos]

I am European, English is not my first language, I was taught British English at school, but now I realize how many US words and especially US pronunciations I use! The US influence is impressive!

[stecortipon]

I'm from Italy, I've been working hard to improve my English through the years, I believe I ended up with a funny mixture of both British and American, plus a lot of mistakes and some slang😂

[MultiKamil]

I'm from Poland but I use British English. I was always taught an american pronounciation in school but when I found out about accents, I decided that British accent is much more pleasant to the ear and just sounds more gentle, noble in a way.

[leomessijk]

I'm a Turk and I think it's really nice to have such differences. Because richness and diversity are beautiful. I think it can be said either way, that's great.. ❤❤ Love from Turkey...

[helgi.]

Super! Never heard anything even closely as comprehensive as this one! Thank)

[FelipeGuadarramaValencia]

I'm from Mexico, in Mexico when teachers teach us English language, they teach us American English, but personally I love British English. ❤❤❤❤

[Liza-tjqh]

I'm from Russia, and I use both British and American English. I'm not sure if it's okay to mix them (I actually think that it's not), but it's a little bit hard to stick to only one of the versions. Thanks for the video!

[marisagonzalez]

OMG! I liked too much this video!!

Thank youuu 😊

[andrey_lotel]

I really appreciate the video man! I'm doing a course in linguistics and translation, so this is really useful for me! Thank you!

UK seems to produce more educational material for English learners, but because of US culture industry people tend to speak more like American. At least that's my case and of many people I've met.
