Il fut un temps où l'anglais enseigné en France était British, depuis le l'avènement à grande échelle des séries américaines et le fait que les étudiants en langue anglaise ne choisissent plus principalement la Grande Bretagne pour leurs études nous avons de plus en plus un anglais scolaire moins homogène.

Lastly, in America a duvet is a type of comforter that has a removable cover. So interesting how English is different around the world!

A dooner in Australia is - called Doona because it is usually a simple quilt or cotton bag that is filled with goose or duck down (the soft feathers) - down became doon - 'dooner' & then placed into a removable cotton casing. U put it straight onto your bed with just an undersheet & your pillow. No blankets, nothing else. A comforter is usually a quilt that can also be filled with down but it tends to have quilted stitching on it & doesn't get a cover placed over it & is used as a top bedspread.

Hi Lucy. Thanks for this video - quite interesting. You seemed surprised by some US or AU words although these were quite easy and common words. Now imagine how suprising/difficult this might be for foreigners who learn UK English and talk to an US/AU person or learn US English and come to Europe. I'm Polish working in Poland and using English for over 25 years now and I struggled quite a lot when started prefessional cooperation with an US company. Vocab they use for business is totally different from what we use in Europe, like deck (PP presentation), regroup (meet again on the same topic), recap (summary) or copy (description of a product). Maybe this will be helpfull for some of your followers. Cheers!

@ahmedal-nabhani6726 3 роки тому
For me it is totally the other way around. It could be because I am currently living in the UK. In all/any ways, the words(vocabularies) can be understood from the context itself; some times LOL 😁. Just pretend like you are elaborating more on the meaning hence you can guess the right definition of it without being awkward or old-fashioned wo-/man.

American here. I would call any comforter meant for use with a cover and no top sheet, a duvet, but something used over a top sheet, and without a cover, that is not a blanket or a quilt, I would refer to it as a comforter. Duvet also implies that it is either filled with down or a synthetic material that mimics down - something poofy, with loft to it. We definitely have duvets in the US, and most people who use them (in my experience) call them duvets, or down comforters (with the qualifier). Comforter (without the qualifier) is something with dense filling (no loft), no cover, and not hand quilted. As others have noted we also use the term woods in much of the US, and forest implies a larger wooded area, perhaps a bit wilder. In the seventies and eighties, the terms thongs and flip-flops were definitely interchangeable in the US (I would say favoring thongs), but in the nineties, thong became more associated with the undergarment and fell out of favor to refer to the footwear.
@aellipsis 8 місяців тому
It’s the woods and a forest in the US. The woods I would say is typically more local, while the forest doesn’t imply a specific location within it.

Good luck with pronunciation. I sometimes have put subtitles on when UK programs come on. I am Australian and as I have got older it is harder to understand some UK accents. When I worked in China my secretary had problems because I was Australian from Melbourne our head fitter was from Bristol in the UK and out boss was an American from Oregon - we often had different words for the same thing. I had a girlfriend who I lived with for four years - a Canadian friend of mine once said "Only in Shenzhen would a diminutive Chinese woman tell you off in perfect Australian but with a slight American accent"

Swiss Homes have a standard complete Bathroom with everything (small Appartements only have a shower, bc a Bathtub won't fit in). In the recent Decades it became quite fashioned to also have a additional separate little Room with just a Toilet and a Sink, the "Tages-WC" ("Day-Toilet") where often also the Washingmachine/Tumbler is or the Cupboard for cleaning Utensils is located. That's for day use or Guests, so they don't have to go upstairs in the private Family-Bathroom. The "Tages-WC" is mostly located between the Entrance and the Kitchen, conveniently where it's nearest to go to.

Lol slippers confused my English friend too. What they wear is footwear made of soft material. We call 'peppers' 'capsicum' in India. Since India and Australia were both British territories, I'm pretty sure we got it from the Brits. When I was in school, we learnt both the British English and the American English versions. Now with more English friends it gets really confusing. I can't say pants to mean trousers because it means underwear in England. That one made me laugh like anything.

OK, I am old enough to remember when these shoes were introduced to the US from Japan after WWII. At that time those were called a lot of different names - Jap Flaps/Slaps Go-aheads (as in constant forward motion needed to keep on feet) sandals and later/now - flip flops People need to remember that in the 1950s things made in Japan were thought of as the same level of 'cheapness' that made in China invokes today.

"Alcoholic beverage control (ABC) states, generally called control states, are 17 states in the United States that, as of 2016, have state monopoly over the wholesaling or retailing of some or all categories of alcoholic beverages"...such as distilled spirits / liquors...ergo, an "ABC Store" is often used to refer to the place where this type of alcohol is sold in these States (and this is actually on the sign of the store). But you can buy beer or wine pretty much anywhere (doesn't have to be an ABC store).
