(upbeat music)
0:10
- Hello everyone and welcome back to English with Lucy.
0:13
I have got such a treat for you today!
0:15
I've been excited about this for such a long time.
0:19
I am shortly going to welcome two lovely guests
0:22
who have generously given their time
0:25
to help teach you the differences
0:28
between Australian English, American English,
0:32
and British English.
0:34
This is going to be a two-part series,
0:36
today, we are going to focus on vocabulary
0:40
and then in the next part of the video,
0:42
we are focusing on pronunciation.
0:45
We may all speak the same language: English,
0:48
but we have very different accents
0:52
and we speak with different vocabularies.
0:56
So this video is perfect for improving your vocabulary
1:00
but if you want to improve your pronunciation
1:02
and your listening skills even further,
1:05
then I highly recommend the special method
1:07
of combining reading books
1:10
whilst listening to their audiobook counterpart on Audible.
1:15
This is how you use the method.
1:17
Take a book that you have already read in English
1:21
or a book that you would like to read in English,
1:23
I've got plenty of recommendations down below
1:26
in the description box, and read that book
1:29
whilst listening to the audiobook version on Audible.
1:33
Reading alone will not help you with your pronunciation
1:36
because English isn't a strictly phonetic language.
1:40
The way a word is written in English
1:41
may not give you much indication at all
1:44
as to how it's pronounced in English.
1:47
But if you listen to a word
1:48
at the same time as reading it,
1:51
your brain will start making connections.
1:54
And the next time you hear that word,
1:56
you'll know exactly how it's spelt,
1:58
and the next time you see that word written down,
2:01
you'll know exactly how it's pronounced.
2:04
It is such an effective method
2:06
and the best part is you can get one free audiobook,
2:10
that's a 30-day free trial on Audible,
2:12
all you've got to do is on the link
2:14
in the description box and sign up.
2:16
I've got loads of recommendations down there for you.
2:19
Right, let's get on with the lesson and welcome our guests.
2:23
Firstly, I would like to welcome Emma to the channel.
2:27
- Hey there, I'm Emma from the mmmEnglish YouTube channel,
2:31
coming at you from Perth in Western Australia.
2:35
- And we also have Vanessa.
2:38
- Hi I'm Vanessa and I live in North Carolina in the U.S..
2:43
I run the YouTube channel Speak English With Vanessa.
2:46
- It's so lovely to have Emma and Vanessa on the channel.
2:50
I've known Emma for a very, very long time,
2:53
four years now and I've recently got to know Vanessa.
2:57
Both of them have fantastic YouTube channels
3:00
and all of their information is in the description box
3:02
if you want to follow them.
3:04
So I have got some pictures and Vanessa, Emma
3:08
and I are going to tell you how we would say
3:12
what's in these pictures in our own country.
3:15
You might be surprised at some of the answers.
3:19
Okay so let's start with this one.
3:23
- In the U.S. these are chips, 100% just chips.
3:28
- I can't believe you started with this one.
3:30
These are chips.
3:33
- We call these crisps, crisps.
3:37
- The other word that you used, Lucy,
3:40
is the most complicated word in the English language to say.
3:44
So let's just call them chips and move along.
3:46
- Yeah, I'll give you that one.
3:48
Crisps is a notoriously difficult word
3:51
for learners of English.
3:52
It's the sps sound at the end, crisps.
3:56
You'll find a lot of people mispronouncing them as crips,
4:01
crips, when they should be crisps.
4:03
So here is the next one and it gets even more complicated
4:07
because in the UK we call these chips.
4:12
So in the U.S., the cold version is chips
4:14
and in the UK the hot version is chips.
4:17
Let's see it what Vanessa has to say about this.
4:20
What does she call them?
4:21
- These are French fries.
4:23
I know that they're not really French
4:26
but we still call them French fries
4:28
or you can just say fries by themselves.
4:31
- The next one's chips as well, right?
4:33
They're hot chips. - Hot chips, oh my god!
4:37
Hot chips, Australians just call everything chips then.
4:40
It is worth noting that if you go to England
4:42
and you order fries or French fries,
4:44
we know exactly what you mean.
4:47
Okay, next we have this one.
4:50
- We call these cookies
4:51
or chocolate chip cookies specifically.
4:54
- Okay they are biscuits.
4:59
Don't really hear people saying cookie.
5:01
- Yes, two against one!
5:04
These for us are biscuits as well
5:06
and we would use cookie to refer to an American style,
5:10
normally, chocolate chip cookie.
5:12
However if you use the word biscuit in the United States,
5:17
you might get something that you are not expecting.
5:20
Vanessa has more on this.
5:22
- If you ask someone, "Do you have any biscuits?"
5:24
or, "I want a biscuit," they would not give you this,
5:27
instead they'd give you a savoury kind
5:30
of fluffy type piece of bread.
5:34
A biscuit is savoury and a cookie is sweet.
5:40
- So there we have it.
5:40
If you fancy something sweet with your coffee in America,
5:43
don't ask for a biscuit. (chuckles)
5:46
You will be bitterly disappointed.
5:49
Okay, Vanessa got very passionate about this next one.
5:55
Very passionate.
5:56
Here is the picture.
5:57
Vanessa seems to think
5:59
that she knows the absolute correct answer
6:03
and she's even done research.
6:05
I did not expect Emma and Vanessa
6:07
to get books out for this video.
6:10
- I have the proof that my answer is the most correct
6:14
because you can see my two-year-old son is obsessed
6:19
with trucks, we have so many truck books.
6:21
Let me read to you.
6:23
What truck do you need?
6:24
A tractor trailer. (chuckles)
6:27
So this is also what I would call it a tractor trailer.
6:30
I might call it a semi.
6:32
- Alright that yellow thing is a truck.
6:35
- So Vanessa thinks it's a tractor trailer
6:37
and she's very, very sure about it.
6:39
- In all of these books, they call it a tractor trailer
6:44
so we're gonna go with that one.
6:46
- That really tickled me.
6:48
- Emma thinks it's a truck.
6:50
In the UK we would call this a lorry, a lorry.
6:55
- It's a truck.
6:56
- Whatever Emma, it's a lorry.
6:58
Okay, what about this next one?
7:02
What have the women got up here?
7:06
- These girls all have bangs.
7:08
- We would definitely say fringe.
7:10
Bangs is probably becoming more popular,
7:15
especially colloquially.
7:17
- So in the UK, we definitely call this a fringe
7:19
and when I started hearing the word bangs in movies
7:23
and things like that,
7:24
I was really genuinely confused.
7:27
Okay what about this next one?
7:30
- This is candy.
7:32
- They are lollies, lollies.
7:37
- Lollies, that is so cute!
7:39
So in British English these are sweets.
7:42
Or sometimes if you're talking to a child,
7:44
they might call them sweeties.
7:45
Lollies for us are sweets on a stick.
7:49
Right, what about this next one?
7:53
- This is a swimsuit.
7:55
Some people might call it a bathing suit,
7:58
you can also call this a one-piece.
8:00
- Okay, this one's really funny.
8:02
In Melbourne where I'm from,
8:03
it's really common to call them togs
8:07
but no one else in Australia really calls them togs,
8:09
they call it swimmers.
8:11
In Sydney they call them cozzies or costumes
8:18
but generally it's swimmers or bathers.
8:21
Oh gosh, that's another one, bathers or swimmers.
8:26
- Oh my word, I did not expect to receive
8:28
so many different ways of saying swimming costume.
8:33
This for us is a swimming costume.
8:35
We can also say one-piece
8:38
and we can also shorten it down to cozzy.
8:41
I remember my mum saying, "get your cosy on,"
8:43
before my swimming lessons when I was a child
8:45
but that's quite a childish thing.
8:48
Okay what about this next one?
8:50
- This is the forest.
8:52
- That is definitely a forest.
8:56
- No!
8:57
It's the woods, woods, plural.
9:00
This is definitely the woods.
9:02
I mean in general we say the woods.
9:04
Forest implies a huge, huge area of trees, of woodland.
9:12
- The woods sounds kind of like something you might hear
9:15
in an old-fashioned fairy tale.
9:17
- Yeah well, Vanessa, sometimes life
9:20
in England is like an old-fashioned fairy tale.
9:23
I think a lot of Americans have this vision of England
9:28
as a place with so much culture and history,
9:31
like a fairy tale, and then they come over
9:33
and they are just so disappointed.
9:36
Okay what about this next one?
9:40
- This is a bathroom.
9:42
You might say it's a restroom
9:44
but it would be really unusual to call a place
9:46
that actually has a bathtub a restroom.
9:49
Usually we use the term restroom for public places.
