🇬🇧 BRITISH ENGLISH vs INDIAN ENGLISH 🇮🇳 How much difference?

(upbeat music)

- Hello everyone, welcome back to English with Lucy,

today I've got a very special guest.

It is Anpu from Conquer British English.

- Hello everyone. It's a pleasure to be here.

- So this is the first part of a two-part video.

The second part of the lesson is on Anpu's channel.

The link is in the description box.

Today we're going to be looking at the differences

between British English and Indian English.

I grew up in Bedford here in England,

but I live in Cambridge here

and I speak with a modern RP accent

sometimes with a bit of estuary as well.

- And yeah, I actually speak with a similar accent

to Lucy's, but during the course of this video,

I'm sure you'll be able to hear the differences

'cause I actually grew up in London.

And I also have hints of Multicultural London English

shortened down to MLE in my accent too.

And just to let you know, I'm of Tamil ethnicity,

and we just wanted to also mention to, you know,

India is such a diverse country and the population is huge.

It's over 1 billion people living in India.

And just to put that in perspective,

if you kind of compare India to Europe,

just the number of nations in Europe

and the languages that they speak,

you will notice some differences

in the Indian English that you use.

So we'd love to hear whether you use any words

slightly differently,

and we'd love to hear your thoughts on that

in the comments section.

- Yes, definitely. This is all about learning and sharing.

So please do use that comment section

to tell us how you speak and the words that you use.

- What I'd love to do is give you a taste

of what one form of the Indian accent sounds like
