Hey, I'm Ethan, your RealLife English Fluency Coach, and the words that we natives use change from the US, UK, Australia, and South Africa. Each country adds its own unique flavor to the language. In today's lesson, we'll explore some of the most common vocabulary differences between
American, British, and Australian English in a fun lesson I recorded a while back with two amazing fluency coaches, Andrea from the UK and Ollie from Australia. We decided to bring it back because these kinds of differences just don't get talked about enough. And understanding them will not only help you enjoy movies and series from different countries,
but also to feel more confident when connecting with native speakers. Plus, it's just a lot of fun to learn about these kinds of differences. Now get ready to laugh, mates! Let's jump right in! Right now we're going to start with vocabulary differences.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (14 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
