Do Argentinians speak British English? (Buenos Aires, Argentina) 

Have you lost something? 🤣The subtitles made my day...

Gracias amigo. Abrazo, excelente video

movies, music, social media, youtube, most are "americans" and that's why we end up talking that way, but we all learned british. I still prefer american, i don't like the sound of british. Me acuerdo en las clases de inglés, con el grabador tipo chanchito de la profesora cuando pasaba los listening, con los graves altos, no se entendía nada jajaja

Well, if you want to speak british english, then don't say fu___ng "movie", because that's yankee; say FILM instead

@@salacious_motek that is the point.

Enserio? No sabia que enseñaban inglés británico. Es como que a los extranjeros le enseñen Español de España y no Español de Argentina

@@ezequielsaavedra9670 historicamente Argentina estuvo mas ligada a UK que a USA y quedo esa costumbre. Es como en USA enseñan español mexicano y e UK español de España

@@ezequielsaavedra9670 en el resto de los paises de la region enseñan ingles americano

hasta los ingleses dicen "football". Soccer es bien de yanqui

@@vHumboldt77 that’s true! I didn’t think about that

It's natural, because of US influence.

Supongo que estaban preparados para traducirlo y por ende más decantados para decir algo que diste del español

​​@@elenfermero5156pero la palabra futbol viene del ingles 'football' . No es una palabra 'espanol'!

To us aswell, I don't know what this guy were thinking.

Did you know that the term 'soccer' actually originated in England? The sport is officially called 'Association Football' (Shortened ASSOC). By that time, for some reason it was common to add 'er' to some words, it was some kind of trend then. So people started calling the sport 'ASSOCER', then through natural disambiguation of the word it lost the 'A' and it became 'SOCER or SOCCER'. It then was adopted by the US, but after some time British people stopped using the term (The trend passed away) and went back to 'football' but by that time US folks already had accustomed to call the sport 'soccer' so it just stayed that way. It's funny how it turned out.

Valeu irmão!

Y en España también

And they might actually be related, because you kick the bucket when you are dying. It is one of the possible origins of the expression.

@@glenbetton3146 I have actually met a few! They speak the royal English despite some of them never having been to the UK !

There are also Welsh towns in Patagonia

My granny is the case I think. She pronounces the 'h' sound in all words, for instance in 'what,' 'where,' etc. When I realized it, I found it interesting

Actually, you've just found one of them 🙋🏼‍♀️

@@emafrancisco1808 Welsh descendants in Patagonia speak no English at all, they only speak Spanish and Welsh.

He is my husband. Wkwkwkwk

Argentines are welcoming and warm to everyone. I wonder how this would go in England. Would it be hard to find someone that knows any Spanish? How about Argentine Spanish?

Soy de Buenos Aires y si bien "adiós" es un saludo correcto, es muy formal y ya casi no lo usamos. Con "boludo/a", que es super informal, decimos "chau boludo" o más frecuentemente todavía "nos vemos, boludo". Espero no te moleste mi sugerencia y gracias por tu comentario, a mi me sirvió mucho 😊

@@odi-yi Bueno, gracias!

@@sillybilly2.or even better: chau fierita! Chau crack! Chau papurrio!

So it sounds more like "hembra"

​@@phrodendekia fierita Is more like saying "you are fierce and you're my friend"

Alto traidor.

I guess you didn't know that Argie is used as an insult...

@@matiasd.7755 It's not. It's like Aussies, Brits, etc

The term "Argies" was an insult during and after Malvinas War.

​@@agustina_manobanen realidad no necesariamente. En sí argie es solo un diminutivo. Lo insultante es hablar despectivamente en diminutivo, algo típico inglés. Los britanicos tienen el humor sutil y el desprecio sutil también, así que depende más del contexto que otra cosa. Pero en sí argie es como aussie y brit como dijeron previamente.

@@agustina_manoban No. They always called them Argies, the same way they say Brits, Aussies, Yanks, etc.

In the whole worldn, honestly. And honestly, is way easier to us to pronounce the "american" english to us rather the UK or english version.

I would not say they are influencing willingly, but most of the media in english is in american english (music, tv, films, social networks now). Even though we are supposed to be taught British english.

Something I missed is that, because of the proximity of our countries, some argentinian provinces and chilean communes share a lot of slang and vocabulary, even before the globalization phenomenon. Especially in Tierra del Fuego.

So? Which is your level?

@@batiele I said this to them, and they had no idea what I was talking about! But I knew I had seen it in the supermarket in Buenos Aires! 😂

@@Frankly_Speaking_English 😲🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂😂 Maybe I'm a bit older and these kids don't cook!! 🙄🤔😅

@@TheLautaro98 follow me on instagram @frankly_speaking_english. I will definitely be back as I used to live in BA

Yeahs ,Indeed😂

No, se habla español

yeah, it is a excellent app

No se pueden establecer leyes de pronunciación. Sin embargo, en Estados Unidos hace algunos siglos se intentó reformar drásticamente la ortografía, de manera que cada palabra se escribiera como suena. Obviamente generó tanto rechazo que quedó en la nada.

They can see the pictures yes

@@Frankly_Speaking_English so, actually they can easily guess the meaning. 🤪

@@riyadiraya no, because the images don't match the meaning.

No one say otherwise tho

For Americans, it seems to be 'mirror'!

" falklands" 😁

@@estebanrearte252 🤣🤣🤣

Te puedo garantizar que existe el portugués y el portugués brasileño. Desde la pronunciación a muchas palabras la diferencia es notoria. A los portugueses me cuesta entenderlos.

@@TeresaAbba So you have Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. You do not say Portuguese Portuguese which is my point.

@@Kaiserbill99 It is the common way to differentiate it from the country where it originates. I can't think of any other way. How would you do it?

@@TeresaAbba Did you not read my comment? If you really want to "differentiate" then we have English and American English. Saying British English is no better than saying English English. It is ironic that the only time it seems Americans use the word British, given that most of the time they use English when they should use British, is as a prefix to English. English is the language of England, the clue is in the name, but English is spoken as a first language in Scotland, Wales, Ireland North & Republic, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and as a second language in most of the rest of the world but the language belongs to England. England speaks English and the rest of the English speaking world speak English or their derivative of English eg American English. So you have English and American English whilst the rest of the new worlds and British Isles who speak English, funnily enough, just speak English. Australia and Canada do not speak Canadian or Australian English; they just speak.....English. So why are Americans different. Americans speak English...period. No need to differentiate. Really not rocket science.
