Harry Potter is a great movie franchise to learn British English with because it's full of vocabulary that natives use a lot, including British Slam.

So without further ado, let's jump straight into today's lesson.

So the first word that we're going to take a look at is wicked on.

No, this doesn't mean evil or something like a wicked witch, for example, it actually means a good thing.

It's another way of saying Excellent.

Now you won't hear this word used in American English, but they will probably use something like awesome to describe something that in British English is wicked.

I'm run by the way from Weasley.

I'm Harry.

Harry Potter.

So?

So it's true.

I mean, do you really have that?

The the what?

Skull Wake id.

Eternal glory, That is what awaits the student who wins.

The try was a tournament, but to do this, that student must survive three tasks.

Three extremely dangerous tasks.

Wicked.

So the next typically British word is brilliant on.

This is a very, very British word.

You won't hear it used in American English on what it means is it's used to describe something that's wonderful or exciting on in particular when you have some good news.

So you mean this map shows everyone, everyone, everyone where they are, what they're doing every minute of every day.

Brilliant.

Where'd you get it?

Of course, I didn't mean to blow her up.

I just I lost control.

Brilliant.

The next word that we're going to learn is bloody now, literally.

This is used to describe something that is made of blood or has blood on it.

But in Britain it's used as a slam alternative to vary, and it's used to add emphasis.

Toe what you are saying.

It can also be used as an alternative to a particular swear word that some people might use to add emphasis as well.

Well, made it.

Can you imagine the looking on?

We're gonna go space if we were late.

Yeah, that was bloody brilliant.

Thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley.

Yes?

How did you do it?

Never mind.

Doesn't matter.

You might have let your best friend no, though.

Let you know what you know.

Bloody well.

War now in Harry Potter, if you're a big fan, you may have noticed that they say bloody hell very often in the movie franchise to hell.

Our next word is Cheers on.

Do you may have heard this when people are making a toast, which usually happens with a glass of wine or champagne.

But in Britain, we actually use this as an alternative to thank you.

Our next word is mate on.

This is very typically British on is also an alternative way of saying friend.

You might have also heard it in Australian English because it is also very popular there as well, While they are standing around that manky old boot that isn't just any man.

There are next word is fancy.

Now you might have heard in American English the term I have a crush on someone.

Well, in British English, we would say I fancy someone.

We can also use it to describe a desire.

For example, I might say I fancy a cup of tea or a fancy some chocolate.

Does anyone fancy about a bit?

You know, if you think I'm gonna let everyone risk their lives for me, I've never done that before.

No, no, this is different.

Taking that becoming me?

No.

Well, none of us really fancy it.

May yeah, imagine if something went wrong and we did a school respected get forever.

So our next word is barking on.

You'll often find this word colic ated with mad.

So it becomes barking mad on this is used to describe someone that's acting crazy or acting a bit strangely racking.

You have to be barking mad to put your own name in the Goblet of Fire Corner View T long enough now the next one I really like because it's quite fun.

It's quite funny.

The word is dodgy now.

You would describe something as dodgy if it's unreliable or dishonest on.

Do we usually use this word when we want to describe something that is untrustworthy or that we lack confidence in, For example, you might say this car has some dodgy breaks.

You're a mess.

Harry Sculptor in Rome, Nocturne Alley.

Dodgy place.

No.

One.

No one to see you there.

People think you were up to no good.

The next word is Nutter on.

It's important to note that you would probably only use this word with close friends in a very informal way it's used to describe someone that's acting crazy or silly or strange in American English.

They might say that someone is nuts, for example.

But in the UK, we would say that someone is acting like a nutter or that person is a nutter.

Surprised the ministry still letting you walk around free Potter.

You better enjoy it while you can.

I expect this a cell in Azkaban with your name on it.

What I tell you complete nothing to stay away from May.

So our next word is rubbish on the American English alternative to this is trash.

So in America they would call the rubbish bin a trash can on.

They might say that they're taking out the trash, whereas we would say, I'm taking out the rubbish.

However, we also use this as a slang term to describe something that's worthless, untrue on nonsense.

Dear Mr Potter, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

You will not be going way swore when we took him and we put a stop to all this rubbish.

You knew the truth lies buried like a sentence deep within a book waiting to be read.

But first you must broaden your minds.

First.

You must look beyond what a little rubbish.

Our next word is bloke on.

This is a very informal word.

It's a slang way of saying, man, it's creepy shot.

He's a creepy blue look.

His father is a death eater.

It only makes sense come.

It's one thing for a plug to shovel for good.

It's just sad.

I won't be going alone because believe it or not, someone's asked me, but and I said yes.

No, she's not me, right?

So our last typically British word is one of my favorites because it's a synonym for dessert on this word is pudding, so you'll hear this a lot in the U.

K.

As a way of describing pudding.

Another synonym is also afters.

So rather than say I want dessert or we having dessert Next we would say, Shall we have some pudding?

Next?

Think I'll just go have somebody?
