Laura and Berwyn are two geniuses. They teach people through making them laugh. Their face expressions, emotions, all the details are just a masterpiece!
I’m in so love with Laura’s accent. Also, I’m missing her Peaky Blinders accent video series. They are so good!
I’m BritISH, EnglISH actually, I use ISH a lot! I didn’t realise I used it as much as I do til you mentioned it 🤷🏻♀️
4:15 made me laugh-out-loud, that face in a cut-out!
In Germany it's nowadays quite common to use or add "-ish" in English conversations. I'm not sure where it came from, but I suspect stream services.
Oh yes, -ish is used a lot by my friend from Yorkshire. Usually when I ask the time then he answers like…3ish. Thanks for the explanation. Love it!
My English family loves to use "ish" together with time if they don't want to fix a time exactly like we usually do in Germany. "Let's meet at the pub at 5-ish." Means: Sometime after 5. It was hard for me as a German to get used to it. 🤣

Oh my gosh!!! I'm surprised ish when i was learning English in My country The way my teachers were pronouncing
Thank you so much to teach us about this. I moved to the U.K. 2 years ago, I really can’t understand the slang or some English in my daily life which is not taught in the exercise book😂. It is so hard to chat with others! I will keep an eye on your guys' channel❤
Hi lovely... Love the way you teach n speak.. ❤️🌹
Etymologically this is the Megrelian genitive case ending. The same as in Polish, Swedish, Spanish. There are huge number of Megrelian and Laz words and morphemes in the English language. You, guys, used to be Georgians.
The way knowing this word before the video boosted my confidence to heaven--
Yo, in my country most of ppl using american british, it was easier for me, but you Laura, u help me for understanding better english accent, for me grammar are not sometihing urgent, but how to communicate words, is much urgent. Sorry for my bad english, thanks for the vid! Terima Kasih.

Another 3-letter suggestion: "tad". Do I sound a tad of a normal person? Normal-ish, I mean? Tad normal??

I'm from Minnesota and my family use "ish" to describe something that is gross, icky or a strong dislike of something (mostly weather related). "We are getting more snow this weekend". "Again? Ish" or "the weather looks ishy out there". I've never heard the phrase "ish" alone to mean anything else but ick or gross.

That’s not a context we use in British English. I’m wondering if it’s more a local way of saying “ick”!
you looks like Sophie Marceau !
Does it work with Greenwich also ?

The opposite. It means ‘around’. 5-ish is sort of 4:50-5:10

Please, give us your take on Gemma Chan’s RP accent.

If it's about vocabulary, well, read books. Different books. There are bunch of literary words and just stuff, that you won't hear as much on a daily basis

@@Dude-ln8pe oh, then, just practice. A lot. Try to have your inner monologues out loud, when no one is around if there's no one you can practice speaking skills with. But if there is, do it! Nothing will improve your speaking skills rather than, well, speaking :)
