Hello guys and welcome back to Papi English my name is Sam and I'm traveling the world teaching you English today we're in London in England we're gonna explore the city we're gonna find loads of awesome English lessons to help you learn English so let's go this is London the capital of England it's a quirky city if something is quirky it is unusual in an interesting way London has something to offer for everyone whoever you are and whatever your interests London is your home so welcome to London and let's learn English first of all it's a typical day in London today because the weather is overcast overcast is how we describe the weather when it's really cloudy there's like a blanket of cloud and you see no sunshine at all if we look at the sky it's completely overcast I looked across the River Thames and I saw Big Ben unfortunately covered in scaffolding scaffolding is the structure that builders use to restore and build buildings so for the time being Big Ben is covered in scaffolding for the time being it means for now temporarily so this right here is a typical English ice cream this we call a 99er because they used to cost 99 pence 99p I don't think they cost 99p anymore anyway it's normal vanilla ice cream and the chocolate is called a flake it's called a flake you put the flake in and it's really nice unfortunately it doesn't cost that much anymore you should definitely try a 99er ice cream when you come to London so guys that behind me is the London Eye if you don't know it's a huge wheel in the middle of London you can go around and around and you get awesome views of the city the Thames, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and much more and yeah it's huge but I want to teach you you know what I want to teach you I want to teach you some expressions with the word eye first one is I have an eye for something that means I'm very good at recognizing the fine details of something I'm very good at quality of something for example I can say I have an eye for fine art I can recognize when art is a very good quality so if you have an eye for art there are plenty of places in London you can see some amazing art like the Tate Modern but now I'm eyeing up my next destination to eye something up means to look at something closely that you're attracted to or you're interested in I've been eyeing up Westminster Abbey because I want to teach you a little bit of its history so Westminster Abbey is really old 960 AD so way over a thousand years old and it was founded by monks now monks are religious men they usually live in groups in quite poor conditions you might have seen them in brown cloaks especially in films and stuff like that and they don't live here anymore at Westminster Abbey so technically it's not an Abbey anymore and when Westminster Abbey was built here it was an island called Thorney Island which was an island of the Thames and again it's not an island anymore but originally it was which is pretty cool a stone's throw away from the Abbey is St James's Park if is a stone's throw away it means it's extremely close often when people think of London they think of pollution and very crowded places but London is also full of amazing parks huge parks like this one St James's Park which is right in the centre of London and we could be smack bang in the middle of the countryside if you say something is a smack bang in the middle it means it's right in the middle the very centre so you know when smack bang the middle of London but it seems like the countryside really and you've got St James's Park you've got Green Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens there are so many parks in London and I think it's one of the greenest capital cities I've ever been to the parks are also abundant with nature and life you can find many species of birds such as ducks and swans here you can see a white the Queen owns all of the swans in the United Kingdom that means they belong to the Queen talking of the Queen our next stop is Buckingham Palace so that is Buckingham Palace and on top of the Buckingham Palace just there you can see a flag the British flag this flag we don't actually call the British flag it's called the Union Jack when the Union Jack is flying it means that the Queen is away the Queen is not present at Buckingham Palace next I saw the Queen's Guard the security at Buckingham Palace and also noticed that there are a lot of police around Buckingham Palace as you can imagine there are a lot of police officers but in British English we have other words for police officers slang words for example coppers I spoke to the coppers about the robbery and also the old bill this one's a little bit more old-fashioned we don't use it so now we often call the police the old bill so now I'm heading to Covent Garden if you're heading somewhere it means you're going to a place and Covent Garden is a great place to see live shows and also eat some typical food from England I'm eating pie this pie that I'm getting is called steak and kidney pie and it's the most typical I'm eating it with gravy which is a meat sauce and mashed potatoes it's so delicious now I really want to teach you an expression with the word pie and that is to eat humble pie now if you eat humble pie you show and you say that you're very sorry for making a mistake for example I had to eat humble pie and I made a spelling mistake in my English lesson I had to say sorry guys you know mistakes too I ate humble pie so now I'm getting on the tube to our last destination the tube is what we call the underground metro system in London and my final destination Tower Bridge so behind me you can see Tower Bridge and I want to teach you the expression to bridge the gap okay to bridge the gap means to make the jump between two things so for example imagine you are an intermediate speaker in English and you want to be advanced you need to bridge the gap between intermediate and advanced you need to take that leap across to the next level which is obviously very very different so what can you do to bridge the gap well I think it's always good to take an interest in the culture of the language you're learning so if you want to learn British English it's good to take an interest in British culture come to London and when you have an interest in something it's always easier to learn so try and do that to bridge the gap so guys we've come to the end of this English lesson in London we've seen some of the main sites and attractions but to be honest with you there's so much more to see so I'm going to be doing more videos in London in the future you can do museums more about food and like other parts of the city that I have to show you and teach your English there as well so that's London we've learned some English lessons thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next class bye so that is the amazing city of London a dynamic city with so much to offer I'm traveling in the world and teaching you English where do you think I should go next bye

こんにちは、パピィEnglishへようこそ！私の名前はサムです。世界中を旅しながら英語を教えています。ロンドンへようこそ。まずは英語を学びましょう。今日のロンドンの典型的な一日です。ビッグ・ベンが残念ながら足場に覆われているのが見えた。足場とは、建築業者が建物を修復したり建てたりするときに使う構造体のことで、ビッグ・ベンは当分の間足場に覆われている。バニラアイスとチョコレートはフレークと呼ばれていて、フレークを入れると本当においしいんだ。残念ながら、もうそんなに高くないんだけど、ロンドンに来たら99erア
