Thanks!

love Fage 0% yogurt, that stuff is amazing

Hey, this video randomly came up in my feed but as an American who went to college/uni in NYC and has now lived here for 10 years… I definitely recommend Trader Joe’s for most grocery shopping. There are plenty of overpriced grocery options in the city (I too live near an overpriced Whole Foods) but there are a few budget-friendly staples with Trader Joe’s being one. Additionally, their frozen foods and seasonal items can be pretty good at times as well. If the store is relatively convenient to get to from where you live it will be your go-to. I love Wegmans (as there is one in Princeton, NJ where I grew up) but there are only a couple in NYC currently and they get fairly busy… but they do have a larger selection of items/ingredients than places like Trader Joe’s which are typically smaller. PS: I can understand you just fine.. I agree with another comment that it’s likely that people aren’t expecting the accept when you speak to them so they probably ask if you can repeat yourself because they thought you said something else initially or were maybe speaking another language -which is common in NYC. A few of my friends have married Brits and even when I know their accents, if we’re out at a noisy bar or something I sometimes mishear them.. and them me. Don’t take it personally and nobody should be bothered by it, you’ll just have to get used to speaking a little slower and/or repeating yourself.

Thanks for the recommendations, definitely want to try a Wegmans I've walked past a few times Regarding the accent that makes sense, slowly getting used to it! Thanks for watching!

I'm American and I can understand you fine, but I think sometimes in public if people aren't expecting an accent we can think we must be mishearing you and so ask again. For example, you pronounce "tuna" with a very strong "ch" sound at the beginning. I could see myself thinking that you were asking about some fish that started with a "c" that I wasn't aware of.

especially in NYC 😅 You can find great produce, any ingredient you could imagine, and the finest specialty items from just about anywhere in the world… but you will pay for them!

I have no problem with understanding your accent at all. I don't think you have a difficult accent, it's just the terms you use are different from American English. Just like Americans don't use cheers as British ppl do

Very true, I am picking up the local terms slowly - subway, lineup etc. haha

My favourite example of Americans not understanding my accent…try getting them to understand what an otter is!

I will tell you why New Yorkers don’t understand your accent. I am from New York but raised mostly in England. New Yorkers have an accent as well but they cut their words short. When you speak you speak proper English. Plus English people speak faster than New Yorkers so if you slow it down for them they will understand you better.

Most people in America are not familiar with what an accent sounds like from England now a days. They just think everyone speaks like queen Elizabeth.
