Did I tell you that my trainer is from Wales? Cool beans! She teaches me much of the English lingo! :) “All right?” That's what people say instead of "how are you?" or "what's up?". They just walk by and say, "all right?" There are some funny words here - band-aids are plasters, the garbage is rubbish and the garbage man is the bin man. The sidewalk is the pavement and your pants are trousers. Your underwear is called pants so be careful about that one! Jeans are jeans! The accent here sounds more like Eliza Doolittle's from "My Fair Lady" before she learns to "speak properly." It's not too hard to understand but people don't always expect the American accent so I'll say something and they stop and go, "what?"
Love you!
