Lauren & Christina ... it feels like a sitcom of two strangers becoming best friends and I'm so hooked I can't wait for the next episode !! Love them both ^^

[marianofernandez]

The greatest thing about this is seeing Christina and Lauren's interactions. They are genuinely friends and have fun together.

Most viewed videos of this channel are this amazing duo, Christina and Lauren, these two are funny, interesting and respectful with each other, thank you ladies 🇺🇲🇬🇧

The less of a "you're welcome" you get, the less of a burden your request was.

"You're welcome" = "I have risen to the occasion of helping you and thus accept your due praise."

"No problem" = Literally, as in "this was not a hardship so don't worry about it"

"Yup" = Your request was so easy and minor for me that I've already forgotten doing it.

In the US, there is sort of a generational difference for what to say when someone says "thank you". Older people (or people in more formal settings) usually expect a "you're welcome" and can find it rude if someone says "no problem" while younger people often prefer "no problem" and even saying "you're welcome" can come off as a bit rude to some as they think it implies that you think that they owed you something or that you are being sarcastic and overdoing things by saying "you're welcome" to show you might not really accept their thank you or your request was unreasonable. A lot of younger people prefer the "no problem" or "no worries" or something like that as it is showing more that you really didn't mind helping them while "you're welcome" can imply you appreciate the thank you but that it was some sort of special effort or you went out of your way to do it. I tend to often do a "you're welcome" with a very causual tone or a wave of my hands to show that even though I'm perhaps using the more "formal" words, it is done more causally so it kind of is like no big deal at all.

"Bless your heart" is a saying in the Southern US which can be well-meant but also quite snide depending on tone and context.

[hello]

this is one of the best series to ever exist on this channel

[robertknight]

That 'bless you' does extend further than responding to a sneeze, in the way that you will respond sincerely and sympathetically to seeing or hearing someone who conveys vulnerability or kindness in some way or another (bless you, bless her, bless him). It's a form of endearment or appreciation. It has no religious connection in general parlance.
Indeed, we have an expression (somewhat redundant now) relating to something an infant or young child has done, or happened to them, in 'bless his/her little cotton socks'. Robert, UK.

[belalabusultan]

these two are great, and always explain that (everyone is unique and different, but this is the average norm in my country).

Good to see cristina and lauren pair again thank you soo muucchh..!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[Marylily]

I absolutely love these, I feel like we’ve learnt so much about the differences between two English speaking countries.

It would be really cool to see the differences in other languages too. For example, France French vs Canada French vs Belgium French. Or Spain Spanish vs Mexican Spanish vs Colombian Spanish.

[Bongi]

Hahahah the "sorry" illustration was so funny, I had a good laugh

[rasmusn.e.m]

If you wanted to compare politeness vs. directness, I think the UK vs Germany, the Netherlands or any of the Scandinavian countries would probably be better. I'm from the latter, and we would actually consider it extremely rude not to be honest when declining an invitation.

[henri]

"I feel like for us, if somebody doesn't apologize", actually, Lauren, this is with any person from any country in the world, being rude makes anyone angry 😂 🇨🇦🇺🇲🇬🇧🇩🇪🇦🇺🇯🇵

There’s never a better insult than saying “Bless your heart” 😂

[brendamayo]

I'm from the U.S. in the deep South. We say "bless you" and "bless your heart " a lot. I suppose it's just where your from in the states. Love your videos!

[robteech]

Bless you started because the heart skips a beat, you you are thought to be dead for that second. So is to being a blessing for that time.

Americans are also really polite to be fair... They're in that group of polite cultures.

I'm Saudi Arabian, travelled to Canada, US and England. I would consider the 3 countries to have a similar 'apologetic' culture.. so many sorry's and thank you's.. It's nice.

I would say Britain and America are similar in politeness, while Canada is the most polite.
