someone british once said to me god you're so annoying

and i said thank you

because i knew exactly what they meant in the uk there

is a whole secret language running underneath what we actually say

and if you don't know that language you will misread us and misunderstand us constantly.

You'll think we hate you when we like you.

You'll think we like you when we are furious with you.

And you will spend years being baffled by a nation who apologize to items of furniture that they bump into,

but who will absolutely never tell you they enjoy your company.

Unless perhaps they are drunk but that's a video for another day.

Today I am going to teach you the subtext of British communication.

The real signs that someone British likes you and I promise you some of these will surprise you.

Don't forget to check out the free pdfs that I offer.

Links are in the description below.

The first sign that someone British actually likes you, they start teasing you.

Let me give you an example.

Imagine this.

You've been working somewhere for a few weeks, maybe a month or two.

You walk into the office one morning and a colleague says, oh good, you're here.

Now we can all collectively lower our standards together.

The wrong reaction would be to take offense.

The right reaction would be relief.

Because this colleague has just told you in the most british way possible

that they are comfortable with you we don't tease anybody we don't tease complete strangers

that would be mortifying we tease people we've quietly decided

that we like

because it lets us show warmth without having to say anything

as horrifying as i enjoy your company a good way to see it is as affection

with plausible deniability and the key once again you probably know what i am going to say it's

that word i always use yes the key is the tone

if it is gentle a little absurd playful there is no real sting to it

if it makes you both laugh you're in the second sign that someone british likes you they start complaining to you.

Not about you.

Again, that's different.

Complaining to you.

Complaining in the UK is intimacy.

With strangers, we complain about safe things.

The weather, train delays, the fact that there are now 17 types of oat milk and none of them froth properly.

But when someone starts properly venting to you, that's a good word, vent.

We often say, sorry for the vent.

They start venting properly to you about their commute, their manager, their partner, anything, anything personal.

That signals trust.

They trust you enough to do that.

They have decided that you will understand and that you will nod

and look horrified in the right places you might even contribute your own grievances and indeed

if someone starts venting to you you should it shows mutual

trust you will spend a companionable 10 minutes getting quietly outraged together in short

if someone is bringing you their problems even their petty ones they like you.

The third sign is that the politeness starts to drop.

When British people first meet you the politeness can almost be aggressive.

Oh so sorry no sorry after you you go first.

I'm so sorry could I trouble you for a pen?

But the thing is very often that level of politeness is actually a form of distance.

It's what we do with people we don't yet know how to be around.

It's why also our voice our intonation goes up

so much we talk really highly

when we're being polite sorry would you mind possibly why I don't know we just do

so when someone stops saying to you sorry would you mind

or could you possibly

and instead say something direct like can you move this they

haven't become ruder they've become more comfortable with you you have

moved from a person I must perform for to a person I can just talk to.

And that is a promotion.

Again, it means they like you.

I will say this doesn't apply if someone is just rude from the beginning, that means they are just rude.

The videos that I do are generalisations.

Not every single British person is incredibly polite and indirect.

These are general things to be aware of.

The next sign is that they trust you with humour.

British humour has a learning curve.

It is mostly irony.

Irony and sarcasm.

Saying the opposite of what do you mean in a deadpan, dry way and then watching to see if the other person gets it.

I unpack British humour more in this video if you are interested.

You could cook someone a Michelin star masterpiece meal

that has taken you hours and they might just nod and say in a deadpan way,

well, it's not completely inedible.

And that is a rave review.

When a British person starts using that type of humour with you, it means something specific.

They think you can handle it.

They're not going to have to explain themselves.

They can be slightly strange and you can be slightly strange back and that's absolutely fine.

Neither of you needs to explain.

That's a level of trust that can take some time to reach

but once you've reached it there's no better stamp of approval than

that trusting you with that kind of humor and the next signal

if you're very lucky you will get the invitation a bunch of us are going to the pub this evening

if you wanted to come we're doing a barbecue on sunday nothing fancy

but you're welcome to come if you want or the most significant one.

Shall we grab a cup of tea?

Tea in the UK is never just tea.

Tea is we sit down.

We have time for each other.

I want to hear what's going on in your life.

That is what tea means.

We will make tea for people we like.

We will definitely make tea in a moment of crisis.

And we will make tea

when we have no idea what else we can do for you

100

but we want you to know

101

that we are there for you we will make you tea

102

if someone puts the kettle on just for you you're in there we go

103

if a British person teases you complains to you stops being excessively polite around you

104

and trusts you with their quirky sense of humor

105

or invites you for tea

106

or a pint they like you although they almost certainly won't say

107

that obviously they might say yeah you're all right

108

or yeah i don't mind spending time with you they might

109

say nothing at all just refill your mug without you having to ask

110

but they will know and now so will you

111

if you are more interested in british culture make sure you

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

Конструкция	В видео
Условные предложения if + предложение, will/would + глагол — условие и его результат	if you're very lucky you will get
Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас	has just told · have decided · haven't become
Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает	being baffled · are drunk

Произношение, на которое стоит обратить внимание

Говорящий использует 28 сокращённых и редуцированных форм, например don't, you're, we're. Произносите их коротко, так, как слышите.

Звуки «th»: underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/, warmth /wɔɹmθ/, froth /ˈfɹɒθ/
Звуки «sh» и «zh»: ventilation /ˌvɛntɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n/, promotion /pɹəˈmoʊʃn̩/, invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/, affection /əˈfɛk.ʃən/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/
Длинные слова — следите за ударением: ventilation /ˌvɛntɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n/, incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/, apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/, invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/, intimacy /ˈɪn.tɪ.mə.si/

Звуки, трудные для русскоязычных:

/w/ — губы округлены, это не /v/: quietly /ˈkwaɪ.ɪt.li/, warmth /wɔɹmθ/, quirky /ˈkwɜːki/
/h/ — лёгкий выдох, а не русское «х»: humour /ˈhjuːmɚ/, horrify /ˈhɒɹɪfaɪ/
Звонкие согласные в конце слова — не оглушайте их: tease /tiːz/, rude /ɹuːd/, colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, aggressive /əˈɡɹɛs.ɪv/, apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/

Как заниматься с этим видео

Прослушайте всё видео один раз молча и выпишите незнакомые слова.
Начните со скорости 0,75×, повторяйте предложение за предложением и вернитесь к обычной скорости, когда станет легко.
Запишите себя и сравните с оригиналом, обращая внимание на такие слова, как humour, complain, tease.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
