1
Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com and today I'm with my friend Victoria.
2
Hi!
3
She's from England and I'm from America.
4
So our topic today is 10 items that have different names in England and in America.
5
Are you ready?
6
I'm ready.
7
Alright, our first item is...
8
Well, in the UK we call those pants.
9
Pants!
10
Pants!
11
Well, in America, these specifically are boxers.
12
We could call them boxers too, actually.
13
But in general they're called underwear because you wear them under your clothes.
14
Actually, we would also call them underwear, but I guess it's useful to talk about this because we call those pants, but in America pants are...
15
Number two.. this!
16
which is what we call trousers or jeans I guess because it's a kind of jeans.
17
Yes, so I would say, oh I'm wearing pants today.
18
I'm wearing this today.
19
And she would think I'm wearing this today.
20
And I'd be like, that's great Vanessa.
21
Good job.
22
Glad you're wearing underwear today.
23
So these two items are very common to mix up when, especially when Americans come to England.
24
They often make the mistake of saying, Ah, I like your pants!
25
Those are really cute!
26
Really?
27
You can see my pants?
28
All good!
29
Alright, so number three is...
30
This item...
31
Let's open the sleeves out.
32
What would you say is this item?
33
I would call this a jumper.
34
A jumper.
35
I would say this is a sweater.
36
and a jumper to me is a long dress that you would wear something underneath.
37
Maybe old women wear this or sometimes like it's stereotypically clothing for elementary school teachers.
38
But you would say this is a jumper.
39
This is a jumper.
40
Like we understand what sweaters are because we watch lots of American movies But that's pretty much it.
41
Otherwise, this is just a jumper.
42
So what if you said, this is a sweater?
43
Or if you said, oh, I'm wearing a sweater today.
44
What would people in England think?
45
They'd understand jumper.
46
And that would be fine.
47
Like, it's not like...
48
I mean, even in England we understand that, or most people understand that when Americans say pants, they mean trousers.
49
But, like, it's just like that split-second moment when you're like, what?
50
So it would seem awkward, but you would understand.
51
Eventually.
52
Maybe old people wouldn't.
53
But it's mostly because we watch a lot of American movies.
54
Okay.
55
Alright, this is item number four.
56
Item number four.
57
And it's raining today, so this is already wet.
58
Here we go!
59
Can you tell what it is?
60
What would you call this?
61
For me, this is an anorak.
62
This is my anorak.
63
This in America is a rain jacket.
64
Because it's a jacket that you wear in the rain, but...
65
Very descriptive.
66
Yeah, I think an anorak means nothing to me.
67
If you said, I need to get my anorak, I would have no idea what you were talking about.
68
Maybe like it's a brand name of something, but I would have no idea.
69
You can call it other names too.
70
I mean, if you said...
71
Well, we probably wouldn't say rain jacket, but obviously we understand what a rain jacket is, and it's kind of obvious, but...
72
You could also call it a Mac, which is like Macintosh.
73
In the Beatles song, they sing in Penny Lane.
74
Ah yeah, see there you go.
75
You could call it a Rain Mac.
76
Learning English through music.
77
Alright, the next item is this.
78
What do you think this is?
79
Something we use to wash our faces with.
80
Yes.
81
So I would call that a flannel.
82
Flannel, okay.
83
And I would call it a washcloth.
84
Which is, again, like very descriptive.
85
Very descriptive!
86
They just have descriptive words in America, but we just make up random new words.
87
That's a flannel.
88
So a flannel to me, I would never say a flannel, but I would say a type of cloth could be flannel.
89
So sometimes plaid shirts that are kind of thick that you would wear in the winter, I would say that is a flannel shirt as an adjective, but I would never say something is a flannel.
90
So it's like more an adjective for me, but it definitely doesn't mean that.
91
So, alright, the next item is...
92
This.
93
Ah, don't hit me!
94
If you want to fry up some eggs, where would you put your eggs?
95
I would put my eggs in a frying pan.
96
A frying pan.
97
I mean, this is a frying pan.
98
I would put them in a skillet.
99
Now, I could say frying pan.
100
I'm going to put them in the frying pan.
101
But, at least for me, it depends probably where you're from in the US.
102
Maybe some people might say frying pan, so I'm not gonna say all Americans say skillet.
103
But for me, in my family, in my area, I guess, skillet is pretty common.
104
I've heard lots of Americans say skillet.
105
But that's a funny one because that's like the opposite way around.
106
That's where the British people are calling it something very descriptive and the Americans have made up a whole new word.
107
That's true!
108
What the hell is skillet?
109
Huh.
110
Next is this.
111
A mobile phone.
112
A cell phone.
113
Yeah.
114
Could you ever say cell phone?
115
No, we would never ever ever say cell phone.
116
But we do just call it a mobile.
117
And sometimes even just a phone.
118
I would say a phone too, but I would never say mobile.
119
You're mobile.
120
You can move it around.
121
Yes, I would say I, yeah, in that sense, but never with a phone.
122
Okay, alright, next item.
123
The next item...
124
Trainers or dirty trainers.
125
I would say, okay in America we can say several things for these.
126
Personally I would say
127
that they're tennis shoes as in the game tennis even though you probably aren't going to play tennis in them.
128
I would say it's tennis shoes.
129
But a lot of people say sneakers.
130
But to me sneakers is kind of a word that like your grandma might say.
131
But I think in some places it's common to say sneakers.
132
And some people might say running shoes, but I think these aren't necessarily considered running shoes.
133
I used to run in these a long time ago.
134
But no, the word trainer is pretty standardized in British English.
135
But yeah, I mean, if your shoes are specialist running shoes, then maybe you could call them running shoes.
136
But other than that, they're pretty much trainers.
137
And for me, when I say, when I think of the word trainer, I think of a person who helps you learn how to do something.
138
They're training you.
139
Like a personal trainer.
140
A personal trainer, yeah.
141
So it's a job, it's not a shoe.
142
I remember one time in France, you said, I need to get my trainers.
143
And I didn't know what that was.
144
Like, what's trainers?
145
Like, is it tennis shoes?
146
And you're like, what's tennis shoes?
147
And then you said in French, basket.
148
And I'm like, oh yeah, that's it!
149
So we had to go through French to understand each other's English, but that's really rare.
150
Usually I understand the sense.
151
Alright, next to last item are these!
152
Wellies!
153
Brain boots!
154
Although the proper word is technically Wellington boots.
155
Named after the Duke of Wellington, I could give you the whole history.
156
Did he wear those?
157
Actually, rumor has it is that he invented them because he didn't want to wear these short riding boots.
158
He wanted to, because it was always when he was riding his horse, so he asked for somebody to make him some knee-high ones, which like keep the rain off,
159
and so then it became a national pride thing, so we called them Wellington boots, and now just wellies.
160
Wellies!
161
That's a cute word.
162
It is a cute word.
163
Alright, the next thing we have is this,
164
or what you can see Victoria wearing right now.
165
And they're not the same thing.
166
Well, they're not the same word in England.
167
In the States it's the same word.
168
Yes.
169
So what would you say in England for this?
170
It has a collar, it's pretty professional.
171
There are buttons going all the way down, pockets, pockets not necessarily necessary,
172
but the buttons are necessary and therefore this is a shirt.
173
A shirt, okay.
174
So usually like a man, if a man is wearing a business suit underneath his jacket he's wearing a shirt
175
and the same with a woman like it doesn't necessarily have to be a formal one
176
but most of the time it is so this is definitely a shirt.
177
There's a collar and there and there are buttons going all the way down.
178
But this I know in the States you would call this a shirt.
179
This This is a shirt, this is a shirt.
180
I'd be like, this is not a shirt, this is a top.
181
There are no buttons, this is not formal, there is no collar, there's no way this is a shirt, this is a top.
182
So anything that's like cottony or fitted or basically has no buttons and no collar.
183
Hmm.
184
If I would say I'm wearing a top, I think it would sound kind of snobby maybe in America?
185
Like, oh this is a nice top.
186
It would sound just a little bit weird.
187
I know what it means, but I would say I'm wearing this on top because you wear shirts on top and pants or trousers on the bottom.
188
But I understand the meaning.
189
It's comprehensible.
190
I guess we just have more words for our clothing.
191
Yeah, maybe that's possible.
192
Wellies, trainers, shirts, tops.
193
Well blouses as well.
194
is just meaning a shirt for a very feminine kind of shirt.
195
And what would a feminine shirt look like?
196
Frilly, lacy?
197
I mean this one is quite masculine because it's quite baggy and it's got long sleeves, whereas a feminine one might have some lace
198
or it might have some embroidery or it might be sort of curved like in sort of straight angles or something.
199
Something, some kind of touch to make it more of a feminine shirt.
200
You would say that's a blouse.
201
Yeah.
202
But you could still call it a shirt.
203
If I said it's a blouse, I think I would sound like a grandmother.
204
I suppose it is a kind of grandma word.
205
That's probably why I don't use it.
206
Oh.
207
Even in English?
208
Well, yeah.
209
Hmm.
210
Well, wow.
211
I learned a lot today.
212
Me too.
213
Well, I hope that everyone out there learned a lot too about England and America, and if you mix up these words, don't worry.
214
People will still understand.
215
It's just fun to know the difference.
216
Yeah.
217
watching and if you know any other words that are different in America and in England, leave a comment and we'll learn more new words.
218
Thanks so much!
219
Bye!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
