Conversely, everyone in the Midlands understands the traditional expressions: thanks, thank you and thank you very much. Also, "maybe" is an adverb and "may" is a verb. They're different things, not different types of the same thing. The object should be to communicate clearly, not attempt to sound like someone who was born in a particular locality. For one thing, that's impossible. For another, which locality do you choose? South African English is easiest to understand. Why not choose it?

As a Psychology major in Ohio, even though English is a second language for me, I learned subtleties such as how to use "ought to" instead of "should." A college education in an English-speaking nation is indeed great to learn these things.

I am a native English speaker but I have lived in Germany for the past 15 years and because of that I can speak German pretty fluently. At work I am constantly in contact with people who are speaking English as a second language and most of the time they are translating word for word directly from German to English in their heads. I know that because I know how they would have said it in their own native language. All of the people I work with are educated to a degree level and their command of English is pretty good. Sometimes very good. What gives them away is their accent and general sentence construction (verb order etc..)

I face all your tips as pieces of cultural commentary. Being seen as a native speaker is also a cultural expectation. As you said about understatements in the UK. That said, I’d add another tip, which is never say “good” or “fine” when asked “how are you”. “Not too bad”, “I am okay”, “I am doing____(this thing)” are some of the answers I hear constantly. These are ways of not sounding over confident, I guess. All the best.

Lovely video. Just a small tip for newcomers: "May" is talking more about probability while "might" is strictly related to possibility (depending on the context can be used to talk about probability). [It is a common knowledge between linguists and grammarians, but let us not be prescriptives and assume that both are used in both senses - probability and possibility -]

And that "may" is used for future probability: "I may go to Greece."

I'm American, and you're right, no one in the US says "have you got a pen", although it is grammatically correct. We do say, "you got a pen?" Or, "got a pen?", but the "have" makes it sound British.

Relying on my own experience as a person who absorbed the English language from the BBC learning English platform and has a sort of British accent, there is a particular set of words that I use quite often that I don't hear at all from my classmates from the language school in which I study. For example, the words particular, sufficient, familiarise, proper, perfectly, appreciative, considerable, contemplate, visualise, unbearable, surely, throughout, favourable, unfairly, ponder, thoughtfully, expressively, approximately, pontentially, whenever, opt, centred, bore and so on. The language school where I study is completely centred in the accents of The United States of America and teachers as well as students categorise my English as 'extremely formal'. The majority of language schools across Brazil are focused on the accents of USA and the students who frequent them are poorly introduced to the English spoken in other countries besides the one I've mentioned previously. The students learn the most basic way of expressing themselves and as an example I'm going to use the constructions 'very scary', 'I don't like it', 'I don't know it' and 'I know it". Some English students here in Brazil can sound really robotic and/or rude whilst speaking English for they are not used to enrich their vocabulary to the point that they learn how to soften what they say in order to not be impolite. According to what I was told, if you use words such as 'fairly', you are trying to sound sophisticated and surely as hell you are going to sound as a native English speaker from the UK 😅💗

By the way, I love the joyful ukelele melody in your videos.

Very simple piece of advice, but incredibly useful!

I was born and raised in America. My first foray into alternative languages was learning and reciting the first two paragraphs of "The Prologue to the Canterbury Tales", in it's natural form, Middle English, as a fifth grader. At the time, although difficult, I thought it rather cool. "And smale fowles maken melodye, That slepen al the night with open ye" Became my Mantra (Probably why I didn't have many friends). I can still remember most of what I learned until this day. From that moment on, I became quite fascinated by all things "English". Unfortunately, growing up in inner city Philadelphia in the late 70's, my interaction with English culture was limited to, you guessed it, "The Benny Hill Show". I thought if I talked funny and went around smacking people in the neck, I was English. Before long I was introduced to Monty Python. The first 2 VHS tapes I remember owning was "The Holy Grail" and "Blazing Saddles", the two movies that shaped my humor. (I know Mel Brooks isn't English). To this day, I prefer British humor and British shows in general. Thank God for the internet! I have no idea how or why I ended up here watching this video, but it's amazing how I still find myself attracted to insights into British culture and accents. Just thought I'd share. Cheers!

I'm a native English speaker and I slightly disagree about may/might. There are grammarians (grammar experts) who will give you a specific difference, but in everyday speech, here's my tip: always use "might" for possibility. Firstly, I don't agree with the percentage thing - for me, the percentage explanation is not accurate - I don't perceive any difference in possibility, percentage-wise, between "may" and "might". Instead, the difference to most native British English speakers' ears is that "may" sounds slightly posher, and because of that as a non-native speaker you will sound as if you are trying to be too correct, regardless of the grammatical situation, if you use it. "Might" always sounds comfortable/right/commonly done in spoken English for possible things. Disregard my advice here if your English accent is perfect, of course; in that case, you probably sound convincing whatever you say.

It also conotes variety; breadth rather than depth of knowledge

Thank you very much. Your video is very helpful!

Doule Cheers. 😊 I have learnt a great deal of interesting things from your lessons. You are amazingly good!

I like it when you thank a British person rather than replying 'You're welcome" they say "MY pleasure"

That's because Brits are self-centered narcissistic tossers!

@@stoneymcmechan3210 Actually "my pleasure" makes it sounds friendlier than "you're welcome". "You're welcome" could almost have a sense of entitlement about it - almost like when people say "you're welcome" in a sarcastic manner when someone's not said thank you. "My pleasure" has more of an air of joy about it, that you're not only doing it for the other person (ie. "you're welcome") but that it was actually a pleasure for you to do the thing you were thanked for. :)

How I would answer the last question: "Well, they understand me on the south side of Chicago."

Your videos have given my loads of good advice. Cheers!

Cheers !! For your teaching

This guy seems like a villain lol

"English, do you speak it?" "What?"

Evgeny, once I asked a new student of mine if he spoke English, and he answered modestly, "A few."

I used to live 4 years in London and I never heard about the difference between about thank you and cheers. Cheers.

This deserves a rather huge thank you!
