A Brit Difficult
August

A Brit Difficult is a podcast for intermediate learners of English that focuses on British English. Too often, people think of British English speakers all being White and speaking like the Queen, but there is a rainbow of voices and accents in the UK. We'll explore vocabulary and grammar, talk about British culture, and hear interviews with native speakers and English learners from around the UK.

A Brit Difficult - Episode 18 - conversation with an English learner #4

It's time for another conversation episode!

In this episode, I have a chat with Judit, a native Hungarian speaker who has lived in the UK for a number of years, experiencing both Scotland and England.

Transcript available soon.

Words and phrases that might be new for you:

  • bless her / him: an expression often used to express that someone did something nice OR that they are going through something hard and you are expressing empathy
  • to be conscious of something: to be very aware of something
  • every so often: sometimes
  • put it together: to figure something out; to understand what something means
  • to cringe: to feel very embarrassed, usually for someone else's actions
  • wee: in Scotland, this is another word for 'small' whereas in most of England it refers to urine - hence the confusion Judit described :)
