I heard this in Hyde Park, London!! 🦢🧺🍦| Real Daily English! 🇬🇧

hello everyone welcome back to English with Katherine I'm Katherine and I'm here to teach you some daily natural English today the setting of The Daily natural English is hide Park most of the English in this video came from one particular family they were a pretty typical family really and they spoke with the modern RP accent as I always say the best way to learn English is to combine it with learning about the culture it just makes it more interesting and funny at times don't forget to watch till the end of the video because we have a word of the week and this one is beautiful shall we get started let's go o before we start do you like my necklace a lovely company called bako I think I'm saying that right sent me this beautiful necklace I love it because it's kind of elegant but it's got this red can you see there's like a red pearl or red bead and that just for me makes it a bit more interesting than a usual pearl necklace let's get started with the video number one did you remember to grab the Scotch eggs did you remember to grab the Scotch eggs this first one is about a typical British picnic now unfortunately the color of a British picnic is beige in a typical British beige color picnic we have the Scotch egg this is quite tasty it's not my favorite personally but they're very popular here it's basically an egg mixture surrounded by sausage meat which is then surrounded by breadcrumbs so it's a little ball we also have mini sausage rolls of course beige again of course crisps they're kind of beige don't forget the absolutely essential sandwiches so here the person is saying grab now to grab is to just take something quickly and bring it with you so we often say let's grab a bite to eat that means let's go and get something to eat and take it away usually grab is a very good informal daily natural word to use in this kind of context so if you're ever in the UK try a scotch egg and let me know what you think of it by the way in the end she had remembered the Scotch eggs so panic over number two wow look there's a Black Swan a Black Swan now maybe for you black swans are common maybe in your country and you see them a lot but for me and I think most people they are quite rare so when you see one it's like cool when we want to focus someone else's attention on something that we've seen and we want them to see as well we use there is look there's a pigeon outside there's a squirrel outside there's always animals doing things while I'm filming number three can you top up my pins please can you top up my pins please you're probably so confused right now let's go with top up first so here we have a phrasal verb to top up is to add more drink into someone's glass or any kind of vessel like a cup it's usually a glass so that the drink is full again so top me up is some times what we say top me up please now let's talk about pims it's basically a punch of pims lure which you just you can put a little in if you don't want it too strong lemonade and then all this fresh fruit like cucumber strawberries usually they are wild strawberries so the small ones and don't forget the mint number four can you believe Sarah's pagers I just never thought it would happen can you believe Sarah's Pras what do you think pagers means I think you probably worked it out it's pregnant this is very much slang and when you say this you're kind of joking around with the language you know it's quite creative to say Pras instead of pregnant I have to say that I prefer the expression a bun in the oven though so cute she's got a bun in the oven now I have to say this one is about gossip which I think is a little bit rude to kind of comment on someone like that and now I have this thing where I don't take part in Gossip so if one of my friends tries to talk about someone behind their back I just say look I'm sorry I don't gossip anymore I just think there's so many more interesting things to talk about right then what other people are doing so usually I just sneakily change the subject when gossip comes up and I start talking about music or birds or butterflies or something number five Charlotte can you put some sun cream on my back Charlotte can you put some sun cream on my back first thing to draw your attention to here is the phrasal verb to put on I've talked about this in important phrasal verb before but basically it's your go-to phrasal verb for summer because we put on everything in the Summer sun cream makeup perfume clothes bikini everything on your body is to put on and in Britain we call it sun cream in America they call it sun block and you need to know this vocabulary factor factor 50 Factor 10 Factor 35 that vocabulary is about the strength of the sun cream I usually go for Factor 50 for my face so that I don't burn it and age quickly I'm actually not that good at that but I do try number six Molly freeze there's a wasp in your hair freeze there's a wasp in your hair wasps are the bane of everyone's lives in the summertime they cause so much Havoc they ruin picnics they disrupt peace and calm I remember when I took my maths exam My GCSE maths exam when when I was 15 a wasp flew into the exam Hall and it caused pandemonium everyone was flapping you know some people really really don't like wasps by the way in case you didn't know a wasp is like a bee but more evil don't understand the purpose of them at all why do they exist they don't make honey they don't bring joy they just hurt people they sting you okay it's called Sting the verb when they sting I've only ever been stung by a wasp once and it was very un Pleasant now here we're using the verb freeze and that means don't move just stay still which is really difficult to do if you're scared of wasps number seven duck your head there's a pigeon coming straight for you I've just realized this is actually quite funny because duck is another winged creature even though we're already talking about a pigeon anyway to duck means to go down I don't know where that comes from where ducks like do that anyway this person is warning her friend that there is a pigeon coming straight for her and and you know if she doesn't move the pigeon could collide with her head which is very rare actually and probably would not have happened now let me just tell you about the pigeons in London they are a rare type very dodgy usually they're missing a claw they look like they've really gone through it you know resilient tough pigeons that survive London they represent life in London by the way coming straight for you means something is heading directly to you okay so usually something traveling at top speed or high speed in your direction we say that it's coming straight for you move out the way number eight gosh it's really barmy isn't it I may need to move into the shade gosh it's really bomy isn't it I may need to move in to the shade we've got gosh first of all which is a polite way of saying oh my God we have the word barmy here which has a silent L and that's a lovely word that means really warm really quite hot and then we have the shade which is somewhere maybe under a tree or under an awning or a parasol to protect you from the Sun just to say British people will always remark on hot weather because it's so rare number nine I just can't get over how friendly the squirrels are here this is very true I found myself listening and thinking I agree squirrels are confident in parks in London everywhere else in the countryside they are so scared of people they just Dart away and they move very like this now here we have the phrasal verb get over and this is a really good one we usually use this for recovering from an illness so a physical illness like flu or covid or something or a mental difficulty like a breakup so you have to get over a breakup but you can also struggle to get over something that seems unbelievable like squirrels being that friendly for people that don't live in London you know so Countryside people coming to London that's a real novelty for them to see such friendly animals because usually that doesn't happen in the countryside number 10 mom can we have an ice cream please the classic one happening all across the world now in Hyde Park there is the classic quintessential iconic ice cream van which plays The Little tune when it comes and it's just that typical British experience really notice the use of of have can we have an ice cream they're not saying can we eat an ice cream they're using the verb have which is a very very common word in spoken British English people have started to use get more often now with some American English coming into the language so you will hear that as well can I get an ice cream please but I usually say have everyone are you ready for the word of the week I'm so happy if you watched till this point Thank You eloquent eloquent isn't it beautiful doesn't it just sound like what it means which is a person
