@JackSonEFla2 trust me, your comedy about Americans is stale, too, like nothing new in the last century.

​@JackSonEFla2as a German I want to thank the whole of Britain for giving us Monty Python's!!! Only the Brits can produce such sarcastic humour ❤

If I'm at work, and there's no kettle or pot (or even stove!) I'm going to use the microwave and "nuke" my water for my tea. Or use the coffee maker and make hot water that way. Just so subconscious

She seems to be on drugs or something

she sounds like she`s on something tbh

she's slow

@@unknownceres5714 slow 🤔

She’s high tbh

What about "Zed" instead of "Zee" ?

​@@jimgorycki4013no no Zee instead of Zed

@jimgorycki4013 same. Actually that one makes less sense

sounds like the song - "little fluffy clouds" by the orb

nar i think she putting it on and speaks with an essex acsent when no ones around , she probs thinks in it too , . 🤣🤣🤣🤣 jokes if ya dint see it calm down calm down 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t think majority Americans sounds like her

i thought she was high at first, buts its just me

I adore how she speaks, it's soothing, relaxing and gentle. 💖

The same goes for Canadians. Every province has a distinct accent, with many regional accents. No one would ever think a Nova Scotian and an Albertan sounded similar. Newfoundlanders sometimes sound more Irish than the Irish do. Northern Ontario is distinct from southern Ontario, etc. I live in NS and our Acadian communities have very distinct community accents…….

Spot on.

I was thinking the same. Even a smaller state like Arkansas there are a bunch of different accents depending on the area you are in. Multiply that times 50 states.

the uk is comprised of four countries so you cant get one british person to sit there and represent four places with different cultures, histories and languages ALSO scottish, welsh ect people don't usually refer to themselves as british however regardless of the state they live in a person in the US would refer to themselves as american

@@paulamcdonald1393 Agree, I'm American New England and there is nothing this 'american' does/says that I can relate too haha. And speaking of Canada the Nova Scotian would be pretty similar to we New Englanders :) (tho they are New Scotland haha)

I thought she was on drugs

Do most people and businesses there not use sprinkler systems or hoses to water their lawns?

Last time I was in London (a few week before the Olympics), it was not raining at all. It was bloody hot (I was on the crew that sailed the Wylde Swan to Britain and up the Thames, the ship would do tours on the Thames during the Olympics, so did many other sailing ships)

Looks like she’s high

@xohyuuGo back to English class, study harder, and you won’t have to ask such questions.

​@xohyuu They said U.S.A so probably a north American restaurant. 🙂

FYI A large percentage of Americans don’t actually pronounce can’t that way. Many of us say it like cain’t.

Most people are able to understand me even when I travel abroad the US! I know for a lot of people it can be confusing as they don’t know the drill😂😂

@xohyuu what do you mean? I don’t quite know the difference haha

good for her. very few us had to grow up with the abomination that is government cheese. and government cheese is not the same as American processed cheese.

@@Ivan-fm4eh agreed! It is interesting how other countries are aware of our government cheese tho

I just looked it up & apparently the term "government cheese" stopped being used in the '90s. The cheese still existed, but it was no longer called "government cheese." So, it makes sense for people born in the late '80s & beyond not to be familiar with the term.

@@naivenostalgia what did they call it afterwards? i only know it as government cheese and i was born in the late 80s

​​​@@Ivan-fm4ehApparently it was called "government cheese" because it was owned completely by the government. It still exists in cold storage, but is now owned by private companies. It seems to vary between companies. I'm learning this right now with you, just to clarify lol. I had no idea.

dafuq is “bIack american english”

@@antoniocasias5545 he prob means aave, african-american vernacular english

@@Ivan-fm4ehAave? Never heard of her.

My former coworker is from the NOLA West Bank. Whenever he gets angry his accent goes full West Bank, and we can’t understand everything he’s saying. 😂😂 I think anger and drunkenness brings out people’s true dialects.

Wisconsin has great cheese, as does Vermont, California, and Washington State. It's just that the processed cheese food is what is known outside the US, and thus... yeah.

When you say "swiss cheese" what exactly do you mean? Do you mean Emmentaler, Appenzeller, gruyère, Raclette cheese, Tilsiter, Tete de Moine? Many other Swiss cheeses out there but it alwayd confuses me what Americans mean by swiss cheese.

@@laurajane192 Essentially, Emmentaler, and then American Swiss and Baby Swiss (aged 1 month) are variations on that recipe, but lighter and more buttery. One example of a cheesemaker would be Edelweiss Creamery in Monticello, WI. Had a Schweiz burger for lunch today.

Why eat anything else? Because you have not tasted the different variants of kashkaval 🥰

@@huskytail We're kind of up to our ass in cheese here. 3.52 billion lbs. (1.6 billion kg) in 2022. 6 million people live here. I don't think we have had a lot of Bulgarian immigrants move here. Havarti, Münster, Gouda, Butterkäse, etc., but I couldn't find anyone making Kash kaval. The European ancestry here is mostly German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Irish, and Polish.

Kraft Singles are mostly milk fat with dye to look like cheese. Then there's Velveeta which isn't really a dairy product at all

​@@benschultz1784true, but mixed with Rotel it makes an amazing nacho dip!

So annoying that Americans don't know the difference between British and English.

Yeah even the flag in the part of the video and in the description, they all have their flag and England has the British flag like wtf

​@@101steel4 bud this is a South Korean channel. Contrary to what you apparently think not everybody who isn't from the UK is American, there's more than 2 countries in the world 🤦‍♂️

​@@figs449 England is the main/capital region of the UK. Also as you can see from the video itself, Welsh and Scottish people like pretending they're not British while English people usually identify as British above all else. So relax.

She’s from the south lol. I’ve heard a saying where some good ol southern people move like their life is in molasses. Honestly I think speaking slow and deliberately is a good change of pace.

@@MS-vk9ph she did say before she's a tea drinker. but you need more coffee shops in the south apparently... if you don't like Starbucks, you can try Brazilian coffee, or Turkish coffee, or even the highest quality Yemeni coffee.... 😛 ps: I am joking, not making fun of anyone, you do you ❤

@@MS-vk9phppl in the south do not speak slow. i guess maybe an old hick accent but she does not even have a hint of a southern accent

Your on point 🤌🏾

That meme is bizarre. It's very weird to consider 'aitch' a funny 'British' thing - not only is it the standard term in both the UK and the US, it's also a term British folk use less than most! 'Aitch' is basically universal in North America, but only used by about two thirds of British folk, with the rest saying 'haitch'. FWIW, 'aitch' is the older form, and 'haitch' developed out of hyper-correction.

@georgio101 haitch is older actually. But is was dropped after French influence as can be seen by what we know Queen Elizabeth the 1st spoke like. The R sound was still prolific though

There's also an English girl representing the whole of Britain 😂

She's supposedly from Georgia according to a previous version of this conversation. She definitely doesn't have a Georgia accent which may partially explain.

US Southerner here. There are some people who do speak this slowly, but it's not very common, even in much of the south. Most people I know speak at Lauren or Eoin's speed. To be honest, the slow speech drives me a bit crazy. I've started watching the videos with Sophia in it at x1.25 speed. Nothing against her, but I struggle to stay focused on what's being said at that slow a pace.

i’m pretty sure it’s because this is a korean channel so she is trying to be understandable to a non native english audience

In the uk we use tea pots as well as kettles, as you say kettle is used to describe the electric version or older versions where u don’t brew the tea in it. Most people in the uk will just have a kettle and some will have both, generally older generations will have tea pots used for when guests are over, but we pour it directly from the pot to cup so it’s hot. At breakfast cafes it’s not uncommon to get a pot of tea if asked for rather than separate tea in just a cup.

Is the way Sophia talks normal in the US?

​@@athos163 That's typically how it works in American Restaurants too, Typically you get a glass of it and then they'll refill the cup as you go if you ask. Typically you pay for the initial glass because refills are usually free in the US. As i understand that's not the case in the UK? Correct me if i'm wrong.

@@user-ry2qs7xf9k Not where i'm from, that's more of a Californian LA thing.

@@AtsumuMiya123 ur correct, if u ask for a cup/glass u just get the one unless the place offers a bottomless drink, these are normally self service dispensers. For tea if u ask for a cup of tea u get the one, however some places u can ask for a pot (generally breakfast cafes not restaurants) and they'll brew the leave the tea pot on ur table for u to use until none is left. If there's a few of you it's generally a cheaper option rather then getting a cup each, or cheaper if u really like tea and can drink a pots worth in one sitting

she was a poor representation of an American, she was 16 as the others were in there twentys

And even if you don't have a kettle, it's not impossible to improvise and come up with perfectly fine results.

You make hot chocolate with a kettle? Don't you use milk?

@@laurajane192 put cocoa in a cup. Pour hot water. Stir. Then maybe milk.

she sounds heavily medicated

Only real Ireland gets represented.

who wants to hear their horrible accents XD

Possible they couldn't find someone. They film this in Seoul, and recruit models and English teachers.

For anyone from Northern Ireland who read the above antagonistic comment, I just wanted you to know that Northern Irish accents are my favorite accents I've heard so far in my life. Listening to a Northern Irish accent has genuinely brightened up some very crappy days in my life. Your accents feel like music to my soul 🥰😇 (Just in case the perfection of your accent was in question for you, heaven forbid.)

​@@ponyxaviors4491Ian Paisley,Frank Carson and John Cole to name but a few.

I am French and I have a diploma in the field of electricity. I never understood what interests have Americans to have such a low electrical tension. Especially since the USA is much larger than France, on the contrary, they should have a higher source voltage due to the voltage drop which comes from the natural electrical resistance of electric cables. With 110 volts, they must need many more neighborhood transformers and tension rectifiers than with a voltage of 220 volts. In addition, an alternative tension of 110 volts is no less dangerous for humans than 220 volts. Finally, the electric cables must heat more since it takes more electrical intensity on a network in 110 than in 220 volts for the same power as P = U × I

@@arnosolo5248 I’m surprised why they still use it also. I don’t have good knowledge about electricity but I heard some yt talking about this topic and it’ll be better to adapt the 220 V

American drinks more tea than the UK.

​@@arnosolo5248We don't transmit at 120V over power lines my dude... there is a step down transformer outside the house or apartment. American homes have circuits running at two voltages. We run large appliances like washers, driers, and stoves at 220-240V. Small appliances run at 110-120V. Most people don't have electric kettles because tea is less popular in the states than coffee. Most Americans have drip coffee makers in their house. Most Americans have stove top kettles too. I have an electric kettle as I drink a lot of tea and coffee and use it to heat to the proper temperatures.

That argument makes no sense. As an American with ADHD and a working memory of about three seconds, an electric kettle is by far the easiest and safest way for me to boil water. Just click a button, forget about it while you do other things, and then let it alert you when it's done. And even taking longer, it boils water in a very short period of time. If your time budget is such that you can't take an extra 2 to 3 minutes, the problem isn't the kettle or electricity, it's time management.

Surrrre. There are other colours of cheddar in the states

@@antoniocasias5545 Cheddar cheese is British anyway so calling it American cheese is wrong in the first place.

@@antoniocasias5545 I don’t know if I would call it cheddar, it tastes like the plastic it comes in haha

@@spirituallyyoujustbeenx185 but why 😂 just cause isn’t a good enough reason for me to waste time and create more dishes imo

A kettle is not expensive, it got my nerves when I found out an acquaintance used an electric stove to boil water.

Makes as much sense as cooking a chicken on a microwave

They got some troubles out there.

@xohyuu I really can't understand in what context you write this,..

It's not really a joke, it's something we genuinely find very surprising. You're underestimating how ubiquitous they are in the UK and Ireland. I've seen and met bona fide Americans who say they've never encountered an electric kettle (or hadn't before coming to the UK). It's literally as odd to us as saying you've never encountered a television or a car.

I’m American and while I definitely know there are Americans who own kettles, I am not offended by people thinking we don’t in large part. Like you said we are huge with different cultures. I don’t own a kettle. no kettles were in my relatives homes when I was growing up. No one in my family or friends owns a kettle. The number one reason for this is most people I know either don’t or rarely drink hot tea. Even these popular Boba tea places popping up is cold tea. For one think we live in a very hot climate and we see tea as a refreshing type of drink. We brew our tea in a pot on the stove and chill it, serve it from a pitcher. Only way I drink hot tea is if I’m sick and I also make it in a pot on the stove.

@@georgio101That makes sense. I felt that way when Brits told me they get charged for non-bottled water in some restaurants. Blew my mind. To us that’s like charging for breathing their air.

Hot tea only in the winter I think is an overgeneralization. I live in a hotter region of the US, and many of my friends and family drink both hot and sweet tea regularly. For me, it's a morning hot tea, iced sweet tea during the day, and another hot tea before bed. I've had and used an electric kettle with temperature control for all of my adult life. My Keurig, on the other hand, is the same one from 10 years ago and it only ever gets used at Christmas when we have guests who bring their own Kcups 😂. I have also wondered if Sophia was high, but you're the first other person I've seen mention it. Good point about Wisconsin.

No, you've been eating cheese with artificial colouring.

It has to do with where we speak in our mouths. I've practiced a lot of accents and learned that as a generalization, Americans speak further back in their mouths which makes pulling our tongues forward to make a sharp T sound in the middle of a word jarring (it causes me to stumble over my words). It's the same reason that in some English accents there aren't any harsh Rs in the middle of words. Many English accents are spoken a bit more forward in the mouth than most American accents, and since a harsh R sound is spoken further back in the mouth it would likely be jarring for them to pull their tongues back for an R in the middle of a word. Once you learn the positioning of the tongue, movement of the lips, etc. to successfully pull off an accent, suddenly all of these little details start to make sense 🙂
