1
In England, we don't say 50 pounds.
2
We call this 50 quid.
3
Money appears all the time in daily conversation.
4
For example, Hey man, have you got a tenner on you?
5
Sorry lad, I've only got a fiver.
6
If you don't understand that, then you are missing a very big chunk of British life.
7
In this video, I'll teach you what nobody teaches you about money.
8
This is a one pound coin, but what do British people call it?
9
We call it a quid.
10
One quid equals one pound.
11
But what if there are two?
12
We don't say quids, there is no s, so it's just one quid, two quid, three quid, four quid.
13
But what about five quid?
14
Five quid is a fiver.
15
This is a five pound note.
16
What can you buy with a fiver in England?
17
A meal deal, a tuna sandwich, a can of coke and a bag of crisps.
18
Meal deals are a huge cultural phenomenon in England.
19
They are very popular.
20
Every day, millions of people walk into a Tesco and pick up a sad little sandwich, a bag of crisps, and a drink.
21
And they feel genuinely good about it.
22
I was one of those people.
23
I regret nothing.
24
This is a tenner.
25
a ten-pound note.
26
And at the beginning of this video I gave the example, hey man have you got a tenner on you?
27
Sorry lad, I've only got a fiver.
28
Now do you know what it means?
29
So if we call five pounds a fiver and ten pounds a tenner, what do call 20 quid?
30
A 20-er?
31
Nope, we just call it 20 quid.
32
The most common term for a thousand pounds is a grand and you might hear it in a conversation like, hey Rock, how much is your rent in London?
33
It's a rip-off.
34
It's a grand and a half for a tiny flat.
35
How about yours?
36
Bloody hell.
37
Yeah, mine's a rip-off too.
38
I pay two and a half grand.
39
Note that there is no S on grand, just like quid.
40
One grand and two grand.
41
The smallest currency in Britain is called pence, but we call it P.
42
So we say 10p, 20p or 50p.
43
Lots of coins together we call change, loose change.
44
Now, Mario, do you have any change, mate?
45
Sorry, mere friend, I don't.
46
Fair enough.
47
Do you fancy a pint, then?
48
Mate, I'm skint.
49
You might know the word broke, which is the standard universal term for having little money.
50
But in Britain, we like to do things differently.
51
We say skint.
52
I'm skint.
53
It means I've got very little money.
54
Skint is a top slang word in the UK.
55
Alright mate, you look a bit rough.
56
I'm skint mate, can't afford a beard trim.
57
Fair enough.
58
If you started saying skint, I guarantee you natives would be very impressed with your English.
59
but what is the opposite of skint?
60
So if skint means having little money then loaded is the opposite.
61
I am loaded, it means I've got a lot of money.
62
Recently I read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad on my Kindle and the author Robert Kiyosaki wrote that a lot of people say, I can't afford this.
63
And he urges us to flip that to a question and say, how can I afford this?
64
The question opens up the mind to possibility.
65
Now, I had the idea, how can you guys apply this to your English?
66
A lot of my students say, I'm not good at English.
67
So I would encourage you to flip that to a question and ask yourself, how can I improve my English?
68
How can I get better at English?
69
I'm sure your brain will find the answer.
70
Now, it's about time to go for, I think, a lovely coffee at the cafe.
71
But before I do, let's have a quick scan of our environment.
72
I am sitting on a boulder.
73
A boulder is a very large rock.
74
And the boulder is sitting in the ocean.
75
Now, let's get up and go to the cafe.
76
This coffee is like two quid.
77
That's pretty cheap.
78
By the way, be careful with the word cheap.
79
It can just mean low price, but it can also mean low quality.
80
So here are some more natural ways British people like to talk about price.
81
Come on, thank you.
82
The coffee has arrived and the price of these coffees was reasonable.
83
It was quite affordable.
84
In fact, these coffees were a bargain.
85
A bargain is my favourite way to say something that is cheap in a positive way.
86
That's a bargain.
87
And for some context for you guys, we are on an island and again no s.
88
We don't say island or island, we say island.
89
It's a silent s.
90
This is my stick.
91
They gave me this to scare the monkeys away.
92
It's very common for monkeys to be coming through this cafe and stealing your food.
93
Some extra verbs for steal we would say pinch or nab.
94
They are slang words in British for steal.
95
Where are you in the world right now?
96
Let me know in the comments.
97
I am curious.
98
So if a bargain is a positive way of saying something is cheap then the opposite of that is a rip-off.
99
A bloody rip-off.
100
Now a rip-off is when something is expensive and you're a little bit annoyed about it as well.
101
It's a rip-off.
102
Now some alternatives to rip-off are pricey or steep.
103
That's a bit steep.
104
Now, I don't want the monkeys to steal my food, so let's dig in.
105
Let's start eating.
106
After eating, you can ask, excuse me, can I have the bill please?
107
After that, you might want to split the bill with your friends.
108
Now, I've seen a lot of English teachers teaching let's go Dutch, the English idiom.
109
But honestly no one says that.
110
No one says let's go Dutch.
111
So here are some more natural phrases that English speakers use.
112
Shall we go halves?
113
Nah, I'll get this one.
114
No, no, no, let's split it.
115
Peach, honestly, don't be silly.
116
It's my treat.
117
It's on me.
118
Oh Jay, you're such a gentleman.
119
Right, now let's play a little game.
120
I'm gonna flip this coin.
121
You can choose heads or tails.
122
Heads, I win.
123
Tails, you lose.
124
Heads, I win.
125
If you want to win and succeed at English, on SproutLanguage.com, you can now do real-life roleplay conversations with J.I.

You can practice in a restaurant, in a cafe, in a hotel, and many more.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Praticar a conversação em inglês é essencial para se sentir confortável no uso diário da língua. Este vídeo sobre vocabulário relacionado a dinheiro no inglês ajuda a entender expressões e termos que são frequentemente usados em situações cotidianas na Inglaterra. Aprender a usar essas expressões, como “quid” para uma libra ou “fiver” para cinco libras, oferece uma rica oportunidade de aprender inglês com YouTube enquanto se familiariza com a cultura britânica. Ao se imergir nesse conteúdo, você não apenas melhora sua pronúncia e fluência, mas também ganha confiança para participar de conversas informais.

Gramática e Expressões em Contexto

O vídeo apresenta várias estruturas e expressões que ajudam a expandir seu vocabulário em inglês. Aqui estão algumas delas:

  • “Have you got a tenner on you?” - Uma forma coloquial de pedir se a pessoa tem uma nota de dez libras. Este uso do presente perfeito é comum em conversas informais.
  • “It’s a grand and a half” - Usado para falar sobre preços, `grand` é uma gíria britânica para mil libras. Notar como o inglês informal usa gírias é crucial para melhorar sua prática de conversação em inglês.
  • “I’m skint” - Uma expressão popular para indicar que alguém está sem dinheiro. Esse tipo de gíria é essencial para entender o inglês cotidiano.

Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia

O vídeo também apresenta algumas palavras e expressões que podem ser desafiadoras para pronunciar, especialmente para falantes não nativos. Aqui estão alguns pontos a prestar atenção:

  • “quid” - A pronúncia correta é fundamental, já que não há plural variando como em muitos outros substantivos. É sempre “quid” para um ou mais.
  • “fiver” e “tenner” - A sonoridade das letras “v” e “t” deve ser praticada para não confundi-los com outras palavras.
  • “skint” - Esta gíria britânica pode apresentar dificuldades devido ao seu som curto e rápido. Trabalhar na entonação e aceleração ao aprender novas palavras pode ajudar.

Utilizando técnicas como shadowing em inglês, onde você imita imediatamente o que ouve, pode melhorar sua pronúncia e fluência de forma significativa. Aproveite seu shadowing site favorito para praticar essas expressões e assim aprimorar sua habilidade de conversação!

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.
