Words like “dunnit” or “the Watford Gap” sound totally normal to us… but leave learners totally confused! So in this lesson, I’m sharing 10 brilliant British phrases that every B1-level learner should know. These expressions are the real deal—stuff you’ll hear in the pub, on TV, or when you’re out with British friends. 🇬🇧 What you'll learn: Real British phrases with natural examples What expressions like “Queen’s English” or “jaunt” actually mean Key collocations and pronunciation notes Mini quizzes and context breakdowns Why Kendal mint cake is a big deal if you go hiking 📘 Who it’s for: Perfect for intermediate+ (B1+) learners who want to speak more naturally, boost their cultural knowledge, and understand the unspoken rules of British English. ✅ Subtitles available ✅ Includes listening, pronunciation, and comprehension practice ✅ Free PDF lesson pack in the description! #BritishEnglish #LearnEnglish #BritishPhrases #BritishVocabulary #EnglishListeningPractice #BritishSlang #SpeakLikeABrit #BritishEnglishWithCharlie #EnglishWithStories 🎓 ⁠⁠The Academy⁠⁠ 📑 ⁠⁠Transcripts & Glossaries⁠⁠ 📧 ⁠⁠FREE Email Lessons⁠⁠ 👋 ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ @thebritishenglishpodcast Get Charlie's Podcast/Courses App: 📱⁠⁠On iOS / Apple App Store here⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
