hahahah, good vid.
It happens the same to me with American Spanish speakers, I don't get the half they say. (And when I say American it's just that: the WHOLE america from Argentina to the US.)
On topic: Pants are not trousers in Britain, but female underwear.
Pavement, sidewalk
Lorry, truck
Flat, apartment
Programme, program
Catalogue, catalog
Travelling, traveling
Theatre, theater
Grammar:
Have you got? (UK) Do you have? (US)
The hottest I've ever seen- The hottest I ever saw.
And you will be teaching in a Centre, not in a Center.
Sell this as an advantage so you can teach the differences between the 2 variations and contrast them for the students.

I don't think any of us understood that right there
in a cockney or essex accent cunt comes out as caahnt.
I lived in Houston for a few years, but at the key age to learn a language, english was pretty much my first language, my parents made me speak in spanish in the house cause I didn't want to.
I was already warned not to do exactly that, so as to not "confuse" them, but thanks anyway hahaha

it's all bollicks if you ask me...
we had to decide in school whether we wanna speak BE or AE and had to stick to that.
as if there's only BE and AE...there are so many dialects and regional differences that are as big as the difference between AE and BE that chances are you won't be understood anyways, or the other way round...they're gonna understand you anyway.
and isn't that the key thought? to learn english so that you can converse in English?
who cares if it's AE or BE, it's not that you won't be able to get your point across on the other side of the pond.
I think it's way more important to actually get to speaking to people so you stop being shy and scared...so what, I went to the US and said "that's shite"...they still got what I was trying to tell them.
as I said, they won't get all the words, but as long as you're fluent in AE OR BE you'll be able to get the point across....and that's what it's about.
......And then there's Australia.

Don't forget knickers!
"In the English speaking world, in particular United Kingdom, Ireland, some Commonwealth countries, and occasionally in United States, knickers is a word that is used to describe women's and occasionally (but quite rarely) men's underpants and undergarments, women's lingerie, and for sports pants sportswear. In the United States it more commonly used as a short form for Knickerbockers, a type of golfing pants, also called Plus fours."

don't think I saw it in here yet ...
in USA "getting pissed" or "to get pissed" means you're getting very angry
in UK means to get drunk
but in UK "taking a piss" also means like "making a joke of" if I'm not mistaken but here it just means, well, taking a piss
