I chat with Tori, who is from the United States, to discuss what it's like to interact with people who speak the same language but use different words and have a different accent. We discuss hot topics like how the UK does not stock enough different types of peanut butter, The Great Jaffa Cake debate, why British people need x's on their text messages, and ponder the question: why do you sit IN a car, but ride ON a bus or train??

Transcript coming soon.

Words and phrases that might be new for you:

• Jaffa Cake: a biscuit with chocolate on top and an orange filling
• to consume: can mean to eat, can also mean to enjoy media, whether that's watching or reading
• halls: dormitories/dorms - a place where students stay whilst at university
• to go blank: to suddenly not know what to say in a situation
• to be on you: to be your fault
