English is a broad and beautiful language which is always evolving. Over time, people assign different meanings to the same word or they create new words which can be known as slang. Slang is informal and used in speech rather than writing. Here, I have put together some words you might hear when speaking with native British English speakers.
Hello and welcome to another episode of Engine English. Ever since the might of the British Empire was expelled from the United States, ordinary folk from both sides of the pond have chuckled at each other's use of the English language and pronunciation. This has also led to a few interesting conversations where things often get lost in translation. The two might share the English language but it can seem like you're speaking an entirely different language if you're unaware of the way certain words are used. 👉 Book a lesson with me today: www.italki.com/teacher/8719362
Hello and welcome to another episode of Engine English! Every language has its own idioms and expressions and the English language has plenty of phrases that are useful to learn. Idioms are words or phrases that aren’t meant to be taken literally and usually have a cultural meaning behind them.
Most of the English idioms you hear are offering advice but also contain some underlying principles and values. You have probably heard some of them, especially in TV shows and movies, and wondered why you can’t understand these idioms even though you fully understand the words. Learning English idioms and expressions can take some time but there are some of them that are more popular than others that will come in handy if you know them.
When you learn English idioms and phrases you will sound more confident especially when you speak with native English speakers. If you can’t understand idioms you will not be able to understand the context. That is why I have gathered some of the most common English idioms and phrases so you will understand their true meaning of them.

Which Are The Most Spoken Languages In The United Kingdom?English is number one, but there are a lot of other languages represented throughout the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom is, unsurprisingly, very English. Of the 65.1 million residents of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, over 98 percent speak English. The United Kingdom is also tied for third-least likely in Europe to speak a foreign language, with only 31 percent speaking at least two languages.
Despite this linguistic dominance, English is far from the only language of the United Kingdom. With its proximity to Europe and long history of colonialism, there are a number of languages and dialects that have shaped the country.
