I’ll be honest—before I started teaching English, I didn’t realise how many odd little phrases we use in British English that just don’t appear in textbooks.
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
