In this English lesson, I'm going to go through American vocabulary and Americanisms that seem natural to me now (I'm from the U.K. but live in the U.S.) - listed below.
I'll also go through words and phrases that still sound strange to me.
This is great for you if you want to learn some differences between British and American English.
Here is the list of the words and expressions used in this episode:
- Soccer - Diaper / stroller - Like - Did you have breakfast yet? - Can I get…? - Chips and fries - Takeout - Gas and gas station
Words and phrases I still use that are considered British English: - Couldn't care less (not could!) - Yoghurt - Tomato - Water bottle - Trolley - Torch
