Speak like a Canadian

Hi, I enjoyed your video, as usual. I’m from Argentina, and here sometimes we say eh too. Oh by the way, speaking of Canada, I’ve got one silly question. Do people from the french province speak english as well? or they just speak french? And what about the people who live in the english provinces, do they speak french too?

Martín

All kids are forced to learn French and English. I grew up in Ontario, an English speaking province. I took French in school for 10 years but I cannot speak or understand French! I didn’t have the opportunity to practice French and I didn’t find it useful to learn! I am sure most Canadians have the same experience!

Ronnie

hi ronnie iam jaskaran i am from india and i come in canada 4 monthes ago.i don”t know english proper and i don”t know how to use could,would words can you please tell me.and hocky is popular in canada but not in india but hocky is our national sport.

jaskaran

Ronnie

thanks

jaskaran

Oh, Yeah..manny ,actually everything have a gender,in french, as i know, i dont like this language much

Nahiyan

It is good to be familiar with English regional variations. It help us to broaden the mind and our horizons.

I send you a BIG thank you to you for this excellent lesson Ronnie.

All the best.

Regino

And what about Spanish? Is it as popular in Canada as in USA? There it is considered to be the second langiuage!..

Dasha

No, Spanish is used much more in the US. The main reason for this is that the US shares a border with Mexico.

engVid

Same here

Rita

as you know in algeria we use french.all my studies are in french to be honest i dislike it.i prefer the usage of english or any other language.i’m not racist except with the french language.sorry to say that but it’s the reality.i can’t do other than that.

kercenna

It is good to be familiar with English regional variations. It help us to broaden the mind and our horizons.

I send you a BIG thank you to you for this excellent lesson Ronnie.

All the best.

Regino

Is it possible to live in Montreal without speaking French?

Erdal 007

Yes—but it will be easier to find a job if you speak French.

engVid Moderator

thank you

Erdal 007

In Canada you say It’s cold, eh? In America they say It’s cold, ya? But in Serbia we say it’s cold, isn’t it? :D

Hey Ronnie…I have been watching your video since i was in india…Now i am in ur country Canada …I live in montreal is there any center of engvid in montrea?

a222

NO sorry!

Ronnie

By the way,,”Eh” is also used in The Levant Countries such like “Syria and Lebanon” and in Egypt and sometimes Sudanese they say “Ah!”
Ah and Eh also they mean the same meaning that in Canada =)

hanikorshab

yes that’s right.
sometimes we use Eh to simply say yes,but it is so slang and mothers touch there children not to say it specially when they are called,you know it’s better to use more polite ways to respond people’s calls,(they should say Naam).there’s no wrong with Eh,it’s not rude or something,but you know it’s a sllllaaannng. :) :)

Rahaf

your vid gives an idea on Canadian culture which seems cool. Shall consider visiting once!
Could you upload some more Canadian vocabs?

Great, Ronnie! It’s good to know and learn things about your country and culture. Speccially about Canadian accent. Speaking of “Canadian English”, I’ve noticed that you guys also say “aboot” instead of “about”, eh! :-) :-)

Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
where can i find the different between, anything and nothing. I like your Lessons a lot, your my Favourite.

dedl

Anything we use with a negative. I don`t have anything.
Nothing = we cannot use with a negative. I have nothing!
google anything vs. nothing!!

Ronnie

Sorry Ronnie!
We can surely use “I have nothing” with a negative! See the example below:
I have nothing to show for…….
I have nothing to hide………
I have nothing for you at this moment……
These are certainly phrases we use in our day to day English Canada!
Sorry Ronnie!
Jackie.

jackiesmith

hi my dear, what’s different between especilly and specilly, thx teacher

rabah

They are the same.

Ronnie

tahnks miss Ronnie to help us

compara

thank you soo much
Please what the difference between take off and take out

ninoy

Take off we use for clothes. Take off your shoes.
Take out we use ONLY for things that we put into our bodies (contacts/earrings).
We also use for food. Take out or dine in.
Watch this video to answer your question!

Hi Ronnie-san
I’m sometimes confused about various expression each country.
Especially, Britain people often use “have got to”. I guess that it means, “have to”.
If you know about the detail of it, would you tell me about the meaning of it?

Noboru

You are correct, they basically mean the same. Have got to is a little stronger!!

Ronnie

hi miss ronnie

i want you to help me. these are two sentence

i am gonna school
i was gonna school

parkash

gonna = going to + verb
i am gonna school = wrong. I am gonna GO TO school = correct. This is present tense.
i was gonna school = wrong. I was gonna GO TO school = correct. This is past tense.

Ronnie

i was gonna school = wrong. I was gonna GO TO school = correct. This is past tense.
“I was gonna go to school (This is past tense??)
WRONG!!!
PAST TENSE IS: I WENT TO SCHOOL
THIS IS WRONG!!
Sorry Ronnie!
Jackie.

jackiesmith

i am getting confused about idiomatics
i hope you will help me as soon as possible

Please make a lesson and explain how to use (although and though)please???I couldn’t find a lesson like this !!
best regards

Taleb

They basically mean the same!

Ronnie

thank you ,,but i wanted to know how to use them during my conversation >>>>give me an example ???

Taleb

Hi Ronni,,,
It was a great lesson,,,I really enjoyed it,,,Thanks for your kind invitation to Cannda,,,,I am thinking about it

Afridi

Hiii Ronnie,How are you?I am back after a long time because I had my semester examination.However,I have a question for you.I have been reading English newspaper daily and also following video lesson provided by this site.I have come to know that the third form of a verb is similar to its adjective form in spelling.Is it correct or incorrect?I have also included some examples and want you to correct those if they are any mistakes..For an instance ,let take the example of the verb “to break”
1.My little sister broke the glass yesterday.(past tense).
2.The glass is already broken.(here broken is an adjective).
3.My spectacle has been broken.(present perfect but in passive sense,here the verb is also “to break”).
Now ,I would like to ask you a question i.e. if you look at my second and third sentence you will find that precisely in my second sentence I have used the adjective form and in last sentence the verb form-I have also encountered the same a lot of time-I request you to assist me in correcting my mistakes…

sona sharma

You are correct – we use the past participle as an adjective too!

Ronnie

very good teacher
thank you eh

ali

Hi dear Ronnie
I hope that you are doing very well. I really like your teaching. Thanks so much for great lesson.Please I would like to improve my English speaking . Could you give me your email address to contact with you when you have time.

Hi Ronnie
I live in Toronto more than 10 years , but it is the first time I heard about such expressions, so it was very interesting for me…!! I would like to ask you if you can give us a lesson about INSULTING and how to respond at such behavior in ethical way >>>>!! I work in customer service …and I have such problems…!! how to respond to an insult , but in good manner too..!!
Regards

Jamal

Ok! I will make a lesson on this for you! The customer service industry is very challenging because you cannot just tell the people off! Good luck – Where do you work????

Ronnie

Hi….Ronnie this is Jamal…again..!! thank you for your quick respond..!! I spent long time in customer service..as a Concierge in two tower condo buildings…and I face a lot of challenge dealing with people from different backgrounds..I consider a good communication skills is the key for better understanding between people.!! eager to watch your next video…!

hi Ronnie!how are you?

you know, I’ve been learning English for more than 20years and I met so many English teachers along the way. I even studied English in Toronto when I was young. (I love your hometown,BTW! )

what I’m trying to say now is that your lessons are absolutely fabulous and really intriguing! That’s the most important factor when you learn different language, isn’t it? also I LOVE your sense of humor!!
I wish I could met you earlier..

anyways, I will be rooting for u !!!

Ronnie, I live in Victoria BC. I am 31. I have been watching your videos. You are great! What is your email?

I like , your way to teach, is so very fresh and moving, thanks

Dante

Hii Ronnie,
How are you getting on?Everything is in control or you are having some difficulties leading your life.. I hope things are going in your favour and according to you.By the way,I have got some problems with two sentence constructions-First one:Imagine,I am solving some mathematical problem where two numbers say 10 and 12 have to be added.In this regard ,I have two sentences.One of them reads out as if I added 10 and 12,it would result in 22 which is correct to say.
Another one is if I was to add 10 with 12 ,it would also give the same result.Now I just wanna understand the difference between the two construction while I am already familiar with the first construction which is basically formed in
classic conditional sense but the second one is not clear to me though..
I would like you to help me understand the differences as to use them correctly in the future.
I also request you to analyze my sentence-making abilities along with mistakes assosiated with them.If you give marks after going through this short writing,I would really be happy knowing my score next time..looking forward to receiving reply…

sona sharma

I like your lessons, and also I love canadian accent. For some reason I always can understand people from there, more than people from the States, or any other country, you guys just pronounce so clearly…

Hi Ronnie. I´m Andrew from Colombia. Thank a lot for this lesson. Could you help me someday with this… What is the correct pronountation between new, news and knew ?

news = nouz
knew = nou (knew and new are the same!)

Dear Ronnie,
Hope you have a good health and everything is going well with you,

Hi Ronnie, I like the way that you always appear in your videos :-) .I am from Greece and I`m going to be in beautiful Vancouver to live with my uncle.You are a great/Funny teacher and I`d like to tell me (with your experience)who is the best way to learn quickly the languish, by registered in a school or just speeking with other people? Thank you in advance.

Spiros

I think in a school is good (depending on your level). If you learn English in Canada you get the advantage of “school life” and that everyone around you speaks English.

Ronnie

Poutine! HAHAHA! Best word in english for me now! xP

david1993

I’d love to learn more about Canadian words and expressions. Thera ars some words I know and use, but many people laugh at me because they say they are not common English words. I simply say they are English words used in Canada, but unfortunatly I live in a country where Standard American English is more frequently spoken. Anyways, I love to know that you are teaching people about your beautiful country. Peace

ibennycr

Ronnie, I loved this video about Canadian Vocabulary, I went in Calgary (Alberta) e studied English for 1 month, I hope came back in this city and to study for a long time. Thanks for this video, i loved remember !!

simonefcosta

Ronnie,I enjoyed with this lesson , and i would like to eat that dish that called poutine :)

wissamovich

Hello Ronnie :)
I’d like to ask if there are actual differences in english between the US and Canda especially at slang and daily spoken language ,thnx.

huda-sd

There are! However, both the US and Canada are very big countries, so there are many kinds of American and Canadian English. There are many different accents, too. This survey might help show you the variation in types of English.

Some general differences: Canadians call the fizzy, sweet drink “pop”; Americans are more likely to call it “soda” or “Coke”. Canadians call a pack of 24 cans of beer a “two-four” (Americans have no word for it). What Canadians call “university” and “college”, Americans call “college” and “community college”. Here’s a longer list!

Some dialects of North American English have very different pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar from Standard English. Maritime (east coast) English, Southern U. S. English, and African-American Vernacular English are some of them.

That said, Canadian English and American English resemble each other more than any other kinds of English, because our countries are so close and share a lot of history and culture.

engVid Moderator

aha, thank you dear,
actually,I’m gonna travel to Michigan next month and of course it’s so close to Canada, so which videos do you think I should focus my watching on??(at this short period before traveling)
I’m not sure,but as I see this is maybe a Canadian website! ,thus If I can’t find my need here, please guide me to the optimal way.
thanks so much.. :)

huda-sd

i love your lessons sooooo much ,your friend from egypt

mohamed elhosiny

As in Portuguese Language. For instance, there are some differences between Portugal’s Portuguese and Brazil’s Portuguese. These differences are very important to make a country more peculiar.

tiagojuarez

Thank you, i’d like to learn more about Canadian accent, just because it sounds cute.

Istanblues

Actually i’ve 2 requests, more accent plus how can we ask for doughnuts just like double-double? Are there special short forms?

Istanblues

Thanks

Petter93

Hi Ronnie , I thnankyou very much for your excellent videos , Iwant ask you about that : Do you have a collection for all your lessons in a CDs , and Do you have a series for teaching english from the start tell to the advanced level , if you dont have what series which do you advice me to have .
Thankful for your efforts in teaching English

amhelaimi

Hi Ronnie, thank you for your video. Spanish people also say Eh! at the end of the sentences but we use it as a question (eh?) It’s very common to say it. For example: it’s very cold today, eh?. We also use ¿no? with the same meaning, I supose is the equivalent of the “…, isn’t it?” . Thanks again.

saraeguiguren

Ronnie nganggo ketu (java language)
Ronnie memakai topi (Indonesia language)
Ronnie wearing toque (english)
apa nang kanada hawane adem Ronnie?
apa di kanada udaranya dingin Ronnie?
is in Canada cold Ronnie?

chakim hamzah

We also use a similar “prompt” in Hellenic (Greek), like the Canadian “eh”, for same purpose (to a great extent that is). For example we say: it’s really hot today, eh? For us it implies a reasoning with regards to something that is bound to be actually true and we simply await an affirmation (any kind will do; nodding or a simple “yes”) from the individual next to us… Cheers.

George66H

Hi again Ronnie :)
First of all sorry for my not so good English.
After your video about Canuck English I’ve decided to write you about Putine and why its sounds “dirty”… Have you ever been in Bulgaria Eh?! Or other country where they speak language close to Bulgarian (they all speak it but not the correct one). The word Putine sounds just like our slang word for vagina :) Eh!

dbunalov

Hi Ronnie.
This lesson was so so so great for me as a newcomer to Canada! Thank you.

Jeck

Hi ronnie,

noviandani

Ronnie is the best!!! Fun videos.

alexandre007

Hahahaha actually in Brazil the word poutine is realy close to the dirty word “putinha”, wich is literally translating as “little bitch” or “little whore”, but not meaning as a small person, but kinda “cute way” to call your best friend or your sister :D

KarenCabral

I felt that your canuck love for beer is similar to the irish kind of love. Is it right, or just an impression?

KarenCabral

Hello! I want more Canadian words , please :) Its very nice!

dwrobel

Hi,Thanks Ronnie you are the first one to present Canadian :basics” I have never met any in any textbook, I wanted to check my knowledge about mickey.. and there is no quiz, I think I will come to Canada,the climate seems similar like that one in Poland… Eh?
