Thank You so Much Elliot .It's really a pleasure watching your videos

U r erudite

You are just a fantastic teacher ! Thank you

thankyou alot

🙏❤

I learned British English when I began speaking English. Born in Ceylon before the name change and then moved to England when I was two. Relocated to the United States when I was 10 1/2 and was teased about my English accent and retrained in American English. My pronunciation changes at home when I talk to my parents though - more British sounding but with a sing-song Ceylonese intonation. And they use words no longer used in modern Britain -- dickey for boot (of a car); spectacles or specs instead of "glasses". Also, cinema instead of "the movies" and biscuit instead of "cookie". I've noticed a fair number of American words and phrases have crept into British English - " out in the sticks", for example, is an American expression. So is "cold turkey".

Thank you for the video

10 packs a day that would be dangerous 😂

Well, this comment is one year later, but is always perfect. You are nothing to chage, you are perfect like you are. Thank you a lot.

You look genius with your glasses

I don't understand the meaning of "by the skin of your teeth"
can you explain me this in comment section
please?

Awesome Sir.....................

Hi Elliott, a have a question from tbis video. Is "neck of the woods" an informal expression? Thank you so much for your content, it's extremely helpful for us students. Greetings from Spain.

Thank you Elliot for improving my English!

Amazing and very helpful video!! But I will stand by my cats and dogs when it comes to stormy weather, sorry about that!! ;)

You Brits do love your schwa, don't you? 😂

absolutely wonderful

Thanks for calling my attention to the concept of using the outdated expressions, idioms that means we should always keep on updating our knowledge otherwise learners will definitely feel themselves isolated.

Even though it is really tough to pronounce the English words in British accent , I will keep on trying all my best possible means to speak English in British accent .

Amazing job

Florence, in Tuscany, is my neck of the wood 👍

Я только начала изучать английский 🇬🇧❤, и Вас практически не понимаю. Но слушаю с удовольствием ) Пытаюсь услышать знакомые слова. Мне в изучении английского помогает дочь - студентка лингвистики. I very like English 😃

I am requesting to your parents to tell you make more videos if you can

Glasses looks perfect! Thank u for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Ell. I’m from FİNLAND.
I’ve been following your videos about 14 months and I gonna follow you forever
Thank you very much…
For very nice explanation…
You are a great teacher I wish…so god bless you always.

I really admire every video on your channel, I ask permission to practice british accent with your videos plz

Thanks a lot . You are a superb teacher on British accent. I am watching from Bangladesh. But at times, I fall in problem in listening what you are talking about. So would you give each video lessons with subtitles? If
you kindly provide each video, then millions of learners will be greatly benifited who are non native speakers throughout the world .

Thank you so much your videos so good keep going pls 🙆

I thought you were going to take your glasses off after saying it. I was so ready to watch

Learning British accent is too easy than American

@etj this was a great lesson as always! You rock 😊

Hi sir I’m a big fan of you keep going 🎉❤

Oklahoma USA

Neck of the woods..... your vicinity

Do a runner...to flee ,to escape

By the skin of teeth .....u snatched it in the long run

Can u use what’s your neck of the woods instead of where in England ?

Actually, "cold turkey" refers not to quitting something but to the discomfort after quitting something.

Neck of the woods? I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia

Teeth have no skin so the expression by the neck of the teeth doesn't really make sense.😊

My neck of the woods is Pakistan panjab❤

I absolutely adore that "Running dogs and cats":))) Well, living in Ireland , I hear this lovely idiom quite often from mature Irish Gentlemen, and have hearing these words, every time I begin looking around - where ARE all those dogs and cats running away of the heavy rain?😂Thanks for the lovely lesson, Alian😊

Can You make an authentic british english conversation for listening practise .
Congratulations 🎉❤❤
