Creando lección...
1
Today we have collected some of the internet's favourite British stereotypes.
2
Oh, that's great.
3
I feel like there's a lot of stereotypes.
4
Most about our accent and our teeth.
5
First up, do you guys want to read these out?
6
British people will be like Harry Potter.
7
Harry Potter.
8
Harry Potter.
9
Harry Potter.
10
Harry Potter.
11
Is that how you say it?
12
No. Harry Potter.
13
Harry Potter.
14
Harry Potter.
15
British people will be like... Can...
16
Wah...
17
Er... Can...
18
This virus to be over.
19
What?
20
Can way through this virus to be...
21
What is this?
22
Oh, I know what it means.
23
It's saying, can't wait for this virus to be over.
24
Can't wait for this virus to be over.
25
We do not sound like that.
26
They're taking the mick out of us.
27
Bottle of water, which is obviously the normal way of saying it.
28
Bottle of water.
29
It's a bottle of water, you know.
30
Bo-bo-what?
31
Bo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo.
32
British people be like, A,
33
B, C, D, E, F, G, H.
34
Yeah, that's true.
35
It's H.
36
I'd say H.
37
Are you gonna wind off or something?
38
When I spell my name, S, H, E, A.
39
It's H.
40
Nah, man.
41
H. H.
42
H, H.
43
What's the difference?
44
No, H is like with a H.
45
With a H.
46
With a H at the beginning of the H.
47
Yeah, but F.
48
It's not fair.
49
I don't get into the E too, fair.
50
E, F, F. And L?
51
A, B, C, D, E, L, L.
52
What about W?
53
Doesn't begin with Wubble you, does it?
54
We don't talk about W.
55
Ignore that.
56
British people be like, you've got to be joking.
57
They're just so terrible.
58
You've got to be joking. Is that it?
59
Yeah, no, it is true.
60
Yeah, I'll accept that.
61
Two of them.
62
British people be like, you must think I'm stupid, innit?
63
Stupid, innit?
64
What a beautiful phrase.
65
Stupid, I think that's the better way to spell it stupid.
66
Do you reckon?
67
100%.
68
You should just spell it like that.
69
Spell it like that, 100%.
70
Screw it, finnit.
71
Screw it, finnit.
72
Stupid, innit.
73
Is it stupid?
74
Yeah.
75
How do Americans pronounce stupid? So stupid.
76
Stupid.
77
Stupid.
78
Stupid.
79
It's horrible.
80
Do you guys use in it?
81
Yeah.
82
Just like, like, a mess.
83
But not like it.
84
Or in it.
85
Not like that.
86
He uses it a lot.
87
He uses it a lot.
88
It's not good.
89
It's not good.
90
For anyone who's watching that doesn't know what in it is.
91
It's like proving your point.
92
So you'll be like, Chelsea's the best team in the world, innit?
93
I think you've got to say that.
94
It's just proving your point.
95
I think of it as like giving your sentence a pat on the back at the end.
96
Yeah.
97
But it could be at the start as well.
98
I like that, you know.
99
It could be at the start as well.
100
It could be at the start as well.
101
No, it couldn't.
102
British people be like, it's Tuesday innit.
103
Yeah, that's quite...
104
No, that's good.
105
Tuesday.
106
See?
107
I...
108
Tuesday.
109
Tuesday.
110
Tuesday.
111
It's Tuesday innit.
112
Well, Americans go Tuesday.
113
Tuesday.
114
Tuesday.
115
Who says that?
116
Nobody after one ray of sunshine in British people.
117
Yeah.
118
Yeah.
119
I don't know.
120
I don't know.
121
I don't know.
122
I don't know.
123
I've never seen you turned in a day in my life.
124
Have you, listen, summer I was pretty turnt, I can't lie.
125
Yeah, of course you were.
126
No, listen, if you compared me from here to there,
127
it was much different.
128
I think it was all red and white.
129
Yeah.
130
You had a Polish flag in the summer, mate.
131
Okay.
132
The British people would be like,
133
this website uses biscuits to improve user experience.
134
Yeah.
135
Yeah, but obviously we've got biscuits here,
136
but their biscuits are different so it's just so annoying.
137
Would you have a biscuit with gravy?
138
Wait, what?
139
Ever have gravy with your biscuits?
140
Never.
141
I don't have gravy from stock.
142
Would you put biscuits with gravy?
143
Don't say that please, don't say that.
144
That's the American thing they got.
145
Do they actually, you know scone, like a scone?
146
Yeah, scone.
147
Yeah, you pull gravy on the scone and that's a biscuit.
148
And they call Digestives cookies.
149
Which is weird.
150
Do you call digestive?
151
I mean, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not American.
152
Harry's mind blown!
153
British people be like, do you know what I mean?
154
Like, mate, do you know what I mean?
155
Do you know what I mean?
156
Do you know what I mean?
157
And I'm like, yeah, I don't know what you mean.
158
Yeah, I feel like that's accurate.
159
Props to that guy, man.
160
Do you know what I mean?
161
Do you know what I mean?
162
Do you know what I mean?
163
How Americans sleep, zzzz.
164
How British people sleep.
165
Zed, zed, zed, zed, zed, zed, zed.
166
That's terrible.
167
Zed, zed, zed.
168
You're saying it wrong.
169
Americans are saying it wrong.
170
Completely wrong.
171
Funny how the British people conquered so much land looking for spices but they refuse to it.
172
That's fair play.
173
Fair play.
174
This one I fully agree.
175
Nah, I disagree.
176
Beans, chips and fish fingers, that's a meal.
177
And you guys stand by fish and chips?
178
100%.
179
Nice.
180
Beans go with anything in Britain.
181
So you'd have beans for breakfast?
182
Yeah.
183
Beans for lunch?
184
Yeah.
185
Beans for dinner?
186
Yeah, if it's on toast.
187
Snack?
188
Yeah.
189
Beans are so good.
190
Beans and toast is honestly one of the best meals.
191
What is that?
192
Toast and what?
193
I've never seen this in the UK.
194
What?
195
A toast sandwich is a sandwich in
196
which the filling between two slices of bread is itself a thin slice of toasted bread which may be buttered.
197
That's not real though.
198
That's no chance.
199
It's on the internet.
200
Yeah, but like, do people actually,
201
like, I don't think anyone's true.
202
Everything on the internet is true.
203
Don't take anything with a pinch of salt.
204
Take everything like it comes to you.
205
Hey guys, so I got a lot of questions after my last video
206
and everyone wanted to see me make hot tea or British tea,
207
so today we are going to make tea.
208
So fill our mug with water,
209
put it in the microwave.
210
Wrong already.
211
Set it for a minute.
212
Pour the milk in.
213
Drop your tea bag in.
214
Never go to that person's house.
215
You're dying inside.
216
I'm sure you're dying inside.
217
Give it a little stir.
218
And that's how you bake hot tea.
219
Oh my gosh.
220
Why'd she smile like she did it correctly?
221
Like, you did it wrong.
222
English people, when Americans use miles per hour instead of tea bags per rain cloud.
223
That's.. that's.. dumb.
224
Which of these things Americans don't have freaks you out the most?
225
Is this real?
226
They don't have electric kettles in America.
227
They have electric kittles.
228
They don't have electric kittles.
229
They don't have electric kittles.
230
Yeah, that's crazy.
231
Is there a reason why they don't have...
232
It's because they don't drink as much tea, I think.
233
Yeah.
234
That's quite weird.
235
He's got a gobsmacked.
236
He's shocked.
237
Proudest people be like, Mathematics is hard in it.
238
Actuate?
239
Yeah.
240
Yeah, you say that.
241
Mathematics.
242
Not many people know how to say that in English.
243
I realise.
244
But in America they say like, like math.
245
Yeah, they say math without an S.
246
Yeah, it's maths.
247
Maybe they just learn one.
248
You can...
249
They just learn one of them.
250
Do a British accent, can you do it?
251
Um...
252
Ish.
253
Ish.
254
What I end up doing is I just end up doing sound bites from Love Island.
255
Alright, love, like, you just like...
256
That's not Essex, that's Essex.
257
That's not even properly British.
258
It's so annoying.
259
And like, so rude.
260
Yeah, that's perfect, yeah.
261
It is good.
262
That is good.
263
Remember, like, Love Island, yeah.
264
Some of the people on that show are so stupid.
265
Okay.
266
Stupid.
267
Stupid.
268
We've not had enough posh, though.
269
No, that's true.
270
I only wanted, like, more posh-troll, posh accent.
271
Yeah.
272
Looking forward to summer.
273
I live in England.
274
To be fair, though, we have got a few,
275
you know, hot days in the summer.
276
It's not only.
277
Yeah, no, to be fair.
278
A few hot days.
279
It makes you sound like you can count them on one hand.
280
Yeah, I know.
281
I know.
282
Do you know what?
283
Yesterday was so nice.
284
It was like, what, 16 degrees and it felt amazing.
285
I was hot in class,
286
I'm like, I just need to get outside.
287
I love it, in the UK,
288
it's like 16 degrees C and we're like,
289
oh, it's lush out here.
290
To be honest, you already see people in shorts and flip flops.
291
Flip flops?
292
Go to Tesco's.
293
There must have been someone who says innit as well, I'm sure.
294
So I feel like we've been rinsing Americans doing British impressions quite hard.
295
So it's only fair if we end the video by getting you guys' best American impressions as well.
296
Alright.
297
Do you want to read this sentence in your best American accent?
298
People!
299
Can you get the yogurt and tomato water?
300
Tomato, bro, come on.
301
Tomato water from the herb garden.
302
Oh, it's time for the root.
303
But avoid the zebras in the garage.
304
Not bad, you know what?
305
Not bad.
306
Oh, brilliant, guys.
307
Thanks very much.
308
Have you got a message for Americans watching this?
309
Football, not soccer.
310
Soccer.
311
Soccer.
312
Football, that's the one thing.
313
Stop mocking our culture.
314
Stop it.
315
We're not just fish and chips and tea.
316
We're not just that.
317
We're not just bottled water.
318
That's why we're not, but we are that a little bit.
319
Moral of the story, pronounced your T's.
320
Yeah.
321
All right, well, see you jolly soon.
322
See you later.
323
Thanks very much, guys.
324
Epic.
325
you

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
