AMERICAN vs BRITISH English **50 DIFFERENCES**
Ойын-сауық
American English vs British English: 50 differences! How many did you know? Can you think of any others? Our American friends have different names for things than us in England. If you are learning English as a 2nd language it can get confusing. If you want to learn the British accent it's useful to know some of these differences.

Cheers for this mate ☺️ please make more videos like this. Finally!
Monday is definitely the first day of the week, because you have the weekends Saturday and Sunday, then it's a new week from Monday
When you speak a mixture of British-American English … Bricanglish I call it hahahaha

Remember when you did that video where you translated Arabic cartoons? Can you please do more of those?? They were so helpful!!
i really miss such of this video
This video series proves why American English & British English need 2 separate film & TV shows dubbings like; Latin-American Spanish & Castilian Spanish Brazilian Portuguese & European Portuguese Quebecois French & Metropolitan French
I actually learn the British Accent and I like it❤️🙂
more videos please sir about what you been up to since pandemic
American here. I've always pronounced Notre Dame the British way and didn't even realize it until recently. What she called scallions I call green onions and I always call EMTs paramedics. The picture she called a "roast dinner" looks like what I would call a buffet, I've never heard of roast dinner.
Awesome
I love her voice
Yeah, I love these series so very much ❤❤❤ Yeah, I think the first day of week is Monday in entire Europe ;) I think the levatory or the loo is also a common words to name a public toilet in the UK🤔 About Principals at schools there is also a headmaster word to call for a teacher taking this post, I guess 🤔😉 I'd like to defienetly see more 😃😃🙏
I've always pronounces Notre Dame (the cathedral) and Notre Dame (the university) differently.
Don’t want to assume. 2 seconds later : Whats he pulling 😂😂😂😂it’s good to have u back Mike
omg you're backkk

My answers as a British kiwi: 1. Note 2. Sled 3. Sand pit 4. Lollipop lady 5. Weed whacker 6. White out 7. Postman 8. Pointer finger (I’ve never heard someone call it a first finger) 9. Shovel (spade is a type of shovel, the small one handed one) 10. Bucket and shovel I guess. 11. Seed 12. Pit 13. Ground floor 14. Second hand store, charity shop, thrift shop, I use all of them 15. Zip tie 16. Duffel bag 17. Cling film 18. Two for one, no special word 19. Monday 20. Jag-yuh-ar 21. I say both 22. Rubbish truck 23. British pronunciation 24. Hose 25. Alimony 26. Boxing Day (that’s when you get all your Boxing Day sales and the mall is packed) 27. I would call the top american universities Ivy Leagues, I didn’t know there was a British equivalent and there’s definitely not an NZ equivalent because we don’t have enough universities for that. 28. With honours 29. Car boot sale 30. Don’t have that 31. Heater 32. Pan-teen 33. I thought corn and maize were two separate things that look similar. I eat corn, I go in a maize maze. 34. Don’t have a name 35. Spring onion 36. Hood 37. Manual 38. Totalled 39. Paramedic 40. Jury duty 41. Face cloth or flannel 42. The great British bake off 43. Wrench 44. Bin bag 45. Principal or head teacher 46. Toilet 47. Zebra crossing 48. Counter clockwise 49. Laundromat 50. Idk, they both sound right to me
4:13 Well obviously Monday is first. If it started at Sunday, why is it still called a weekend?
Yup, the first day of the week is monday
I'm an American who speaks German. I find the half eight really interesting because in German, halb acht is half an hour before 8, not after. So halb acht is 7:30.
What's the music that starts playing at around 7:32? I know ive heard it before. Its annoying the hell out of me 😅

She deserves some credit
In the US, Sunday is the first day of the week and in pretty much the rest of the world Monday is the first day of the week
I think that it has been in british English and USA English some words are from the colloquial/informal language are like abbreviated words, cute words for something that has to do with children and brand names. ' I wonder if there is also more formal words for them in the respective English. I also find it funny that many languages also have put words together to describe something new, and I wonder why it doesn't have a new name. e.g. broom and a stick are broomstick, in German it would be the words Reisig and Stock are a Besen not a Reisigstock. That with the clock, is gegen den Uhrzeigersinn in german, which I find quite long, and I've used to saying Widdershire for whatever reason and most people don't understand this here and I always correct it.

Sunday is the original first day of the week anywhere. Constantine changed it in March 7 321 AD. Research it for yourself.
Cant say I agree with him on all of these. I’ve never known anyone say first finger (except maybe a young child), everyone says index finger

Child support and alimony are separate payments. Someone can pay both alimony and child support, but even without children, they might still need to pay their ex-spouse alimony.
