"How's your uncle after the fall?"
"He's quite dead actually, "

[treyquillin]

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.

Mom: "Darling, how's school?"

Me: "Quite alright, mate. Thanks."

When you don't even speak English fluently, but wanna sound british

He said “quite” so many times that it doesn’t sound like a real word anymore 😂

[ag-dnvl]

“are you hurting?”
i’m quite hurt, thank you, mate.

[shart]

"How's the class?"

*"It's quite quiet."*

[dikshyamohapatra]

1. Say Quite a lot
2. Call everyone a Mate
3. Pronounce t as T, Not D.
4. Been/ Bin (just watch the vid)
5. there are some weird phrases eh
(I was sat/ I was stood)
6. The R's are mostly silent?

[コレクター-dh]

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👁👄👁💅🏻

[bon.bon.]

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

[LKay]

“Hey how’s your friend holding up?”
“Yeah, she’s quite depressed mate. Her father is quite dead in the grave mate”

[martinford]

When you’re already British and watch this

*LEVEL UP*

[Luv_Sotu]

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 haven't got any mates"

*I felt that*

[haroonahmedbaba]

I'm gonna come out of this lockdown with british accent whether my tongue likes it or not

[miravossebein]

no one:....




me: alright it’s 2 am lets take some british lessons!

[NightRaptor]

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.
