TRANSCRIPT
Hello. I'm Gill from www.engvid.com, and here we are in London on a rainy day, and we're going to be looking at the English alphabet. And I have for you an alphabet memory trick to help you remember. Okay? Because every alphabet in every language is different, so the English alphabet with 26 letters is... Sorry, that's probably too high, so I'm going to put that down here. 26 letters is different from other alphabets, and the letters come in a certain order. So some people start, "Okay: A, B, C, D, E..." So this is to help you remember all of the letters in the correct order. Okay. So it's like a little poem or story. And the first word... The first letter of each word is the letter of the alphabet. So let's just look at the first line, okay?
So we have: "All Boys Can Do Exercise", okay? So that's A, B, C, D, E, the first five letters of the alphabet. Okay? So it... Because it means something in a sentence, hopefully it's easier to remember. So: A, B, C, D, E: "All Boys Can Do Exercise". "Exercise" meaning this sort of thing. Okay? Exercise. Right. Okay.
Second line, continuing: "French Girls Help In June", okay? So: "French Girls Help In June", the month of June, okay? I always think of French au pairs here. I don't know if you know that word: "au pair", it's French itself, but it means usually a young woman who comes from another country to live with a family and help them with their housework, help them with the children, the shopping, and they're called an au pair, so this always reminds me of French au pairs, so maybe that will help you remember as well. So: "French Girls Help In June", and that's in the summer when maybe more French girls will want to come because the weather isn't that bad in the summer. Okay. So, we've had A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, okay? And then, finally... Because the alphabet is 26 letters long, it helps to divide it into two and stop halfway, so it's 13 plus 13, and that's how I learned the alphabet when I was a very little girl at school. So I always stopped halfway and knew I was halfway. So we're going to do the same here, okay?
So, next one: K, L, M, okay? "Kids Like Milk". Now, if you don't know the word "kids", it's an informal, casual word for children. Okay? So: Children Like Milk, but it's "Kids". And a kid is also a baby goat, maybe that's why children are called kids; I don't know. Don't quote me. A kid is a baby goat, which is an animal-okay?-that you find on the farm. A baby goat is a kid, but here it means children. "Kids Like Milk". You can also remember this line because it's K, L, M, and I hope we're allowed to advertise, you may know of the airline, I think it's the Dutch airline, KLM, that's another way of remembering this line. If you can't remember about kids liking milk, think of the Dutch airline KLM. Okay? So then here we are halfway through the alphabet. So, we've got: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, halfway. Right. Okay, ready to go on? Right.
Next line, this sounds strange, but it sort of makes sense, so we have: "Now Our Professor"-our teacher, our professor-"Quits Reading". Okay? "Quits" means stops. It's another informal word, it means stops. Okay, so... And the professor, that's usually someone in a university. So it sounds pretty strange that a professor would stop reading, because that is what professors are supposed to do, but maybe this professor is retiring, or they got very tired, or they need a holiday, and they think: "Right, no more books." So: "Now Our Professor Quits Reading". Okay, so: N, O, P, Q, R. Okay.
Now, the next bit is totally unconnected; it doesn't really follow in the story, but I'll explain what this means if you're not sure: "Socks Turn Up". "Socks", what you wear on your feet, okay? Your socks. Sometimes you lose your socks. You think: "Where are my lovely red socks? I can't find them." And you go for about a week or two weeks, and you're still thinking: "What happened to my socks?" And then suddenly one day you go into the kitchen maybe, you open the kitchen cupboard, and there are your socks and you say: "Oh, my socks turned up." […]

I am lucky, the Czech alphabet is similar to the English one so I remember it but this can be indeed very useful to a range of people. Another brilliant lesson as always, Gill!♥
I love your lessons Gill. I've forgotten how to say "j" in English. This lesson is so useful. Thank you so much!!!
Hi! I have just loved this way to learn the ABC. Thanks for sharing this idea with the world!
It can be forgotten how easy it is when some things are not repeated and it was a great video to prevent it. thanks gill
It is good to learn and be better at what we do because we are good at what we can do and we are not bad at what we know that we can do but we do not need to do.
This is great!!
Thanks teacher
Thanks a lot
Lovely lesson, Gill. I understand exactly what you mean about saying VW!!!

طريقة جميلة لتعلم الأبجدية
very helpful... tnx
Isn't it even harder to memorise this mnemonic? Except for exotic languages the basic alphabets of all languages are pretty much the same. (because they're generally based on the Greek and/or Latin alphabet, which on their part were base on the Phoenician alphabet, hence almost all alphabets around the world are base on the ancient Phoenician alphabet. Even the Cyrillic alphabet is the same, plus some additional special letters more).

Thanks Andy -- there are slight differences, for example the Italian alphabet has 21 letters whereas English has 26. So Italian learners of English have to get to know letters which are used in English but not in Italian: J K W X Y. All the best :-)
Your pronunciation ❤❤😁😁
I really liked it..
This lady is so funny and she have what we call in my culture deep respict.
Thank you! So cute :)
You pronounced letter Z different, I know it's British accent but it's the first time I hear it pronounced like that. I'm in US.

hi Shaibat -- to contact any EngVid tutor, please email direct to EngVid via the website: www.engvid.com -- many thanks :-)
Dear Prof Gill, I was wondering if I might dare to ask you a question ? Presently, in this example: Neither my friends nor I AM interested in ... Is that correct ? Most people said " are" instead of “a.m.” Honestly, I would have said: Neither my friends nor AM I interested in....or rather Neither I nor my friends ARE or rather, Neither I nor ARE my friends interested.. Thank you. I pay my respects to you. A

hi Andrea -- it's a 'grey area', because it's I AM and MY FRIENDS ARE, but for an English person it sounds better to say ARE -- the best word order is: Neither I nor my friends are interested. All the best with your English studies :-)
I am an Au-pair in Germany😘😍😁
Nowadays young people destroyed English language because of saying H ( Aitch ) as hetch . The senior citizen of London( well- educated) always say Aitch ( Oxford Dictionary ) include BBC accent , thank you 5 June 2022

Hi - if you google 'Anglo Saxon runes' you'll find the answer :-)
Usually one out of a pair of socks disappears, and it's very annoying :-)
I am quite puzzled at why she taught this instead of the song
It seems to be an old video because of her hairdo....
