Hey guys welcome back to the channel man today we’re going to be taking out a video titled biggest culture shock American in England so first of all um I you know I I’ve said that U
I live in Finland which a lot of you guys may or may not know by now right however I don’t think I’ve said it quite enough that my cousins uncle aunt like live in the UK like they’re British my
Cousins are British right and um I have a quite quite a few family you know relatives in the UK so I should know stuff about the UK right but I don’t I don’t like I’ve been told by my cousins
That I would fit quite well there you know and I I was you know happy about that right that’s way before I moved to Finland obviously I didn’t even knew Finland existed at that time cuz the only place in Europe that I knew existed was places like Germany Spain Italy the famous ones
And obviously the UK because family whatever right but um we’re going to be checking out this video right now because I want to know what are the culture shocks you know what an American would experience in um England you know should be you know nothing major I don’t think really
I don’t know I don’t know anyways um let’s get right into this video thank you for watching first of all and if you have any recommendations feel free to leave those in the comment section down below and uh yeah let’s get right into this video man the seven biggest culture I’ve
Had to endure being an American living here in England now oh you live in all tight tight tight crazy Scotland so number one the weather not just the weather in general but the weather and patterns changes so quickly here have been days where it’s been really cold and rainy and then around like
Midm morning lunchtime it’s sunny and warm there’s not a cloud in the sky and then by like 3 or 4:00 in the afternoon it’s really dark really cold and the wind has picked up freezing by the next
Morning just changes really really quickly here but the good thing about it is it’s not as Extreme as it is in the northeast of America in northeast of America you get frigid temperatures plus plus
Lots of snow when it’s lots of rain freezing rain um and you get extreme heat and humidity but the UK weather here has been a huge culture shock for me the second thing is the accents so in America
Because there’s it’s so big and there’s it’s such a Melting Pot of people I’m used to different accents so but when I came to Britain I thought there would be a few different accents but there’s wa on why she a had nothing for Florida different accents that’s crazy Britain I thought there would
Be a few different accents but there’s a lot of different accents even between like counties but I wasn’t expecting that it be so that that divers but in my humble opinion I think the United States
Is the one place that has like a [ __ ] ton of variations in the way how people speak like you Americans just typically just speak like a flow like the way how things flow is just American but
Like most Americans that you will meet like you most most Americans I could I could get videos right now of Americans talking and I can guarantee you cannot understand like I’ve made videos of my
Own self and I’m listening back and I’m like what the hell did I say right and it took me a while to even figured out what I say right so sometimes [ __ ] you know in America gets really complicated
Too so I do believe that it’s a toss-up you know I do know the UK has so much variety you know they have so many different ways of speaking but I don’t really think it it is so diverse compared
To United States when it comes to Accents I really don’t think so but y’all let me know what y’all think y’all probably experience both of them so let me know what y’all think in the comment section please here number three the cost of living is it bad everything’s really expensive
In America oh here in England the cost of living is a lot less expensive than I thought even going to you know big touristy spots like castles when we went to Canterbury at Christmas time and the markets that special you special Christmas markets and specialty stores and stuff I thought it was
Going to be really expensive but it really isn’t and it’s a cultural norm actually to not spend a lot of money on things and to be very stringy about money those those types of things were were huge culture shots number four it’s a really friendly country now England has a reputation you
Know being a little bit stiff um a little bit pretentious and just shut up and get on with it kind of attitude which is for the most part people are really willing to help and in a very
Genuine and non-fake way but I didn’t expect it from strangers and I didn’t expect you know that kind of environment to just be conducive to being helpful and friendly number five that’s good it’s something that I love but the walking culture here is like Supreme cuz obviously a lot of
The towns are been around for hundreds of years and it was well before you could get wagons and stuff into it the culture in America is centered around driving D centered around having to have a car to get anywhere walk to some place is very rare unless you’re in the cities that suburbanite
Point of view that I grew up with and lived with for so long in America really got challenged I actually really like it there something I love about being here in the UK cuz I’m a walk I love
I I’ve been in Finland and um well the honest truth is is being here in Finland I haven’t been the most you know on the feet type guy I haven’t because um I live in you know North Finland where
The snow is really there and it’s really cold I live in that area lap land right um so I haven’t really been walking you know unfortunately um what when it’s summer though I do bike right
I don’t like to walk cuz it’s too slow of a pace for me but the truth is before I had my driver’s license I did walk a lot more because everything that I needed I had to walk or bike right and um
I I do bike in summer that’s for sure like when I go out to you know workout my workout is playing basketball and riding my bike um so when I do do that I do ride and I do you know move a lot but
I don’t actually walk a lot since living in um you know La plan well that’s the only place I’ve lived in Finland but um the thing is I do believe if I lived in South Finland I would have walked a lot
Because the truth is it’s not conducive it’s not feasible for you to drive in South Finland as I visited those cities before I’ve seen it it’s not feasible at all right um too much walking uh it’s like New York I would never recommend somebody to drive in New York because there’s
So much people walk in it’s like one mistake and that’s it your ass is screwed right so I wouldn’t have recommended so I do believe if I was in South Finland I would walk more but I haven’t actually been walking and it’s actually a huge surprise right now that I’m realizing this
Cuz I didn’t realize so yeah I think I need to put some legs in you know some walkinging for me it definitely suits number six there’s a lot more nature here than I thought there would be because
It’s an island very little space there’s a lot of population here and so I just um I guess I made the American assumption that they would just build stuff on that land you know Commerce or something like that or housing instead they’ve actually preserve a lot of greenery there’s public parks
Everywhere there’s trees and flowers everywhere in the springtime it’s like a garden everywhere you go just really enjoy seeing that and uh that being a priority in such a uh Urban and developed country that has been around for so long especially compared to America where they
Would basically pave everything and make it a parking lot if they could make money off of it and lastly biggest culture shock for me is the sense of community that people actually want to help that people actually want to preserve nature that people actually preserve the heritages the
The British history people actually take a lot of Pride yeah Europeans take a lot of pride in theya for real cuz I was here in um Finland about two three days ago and I was driving and when I was
Driving um I saw some folks and I was like what the hell they doing with all these signs get out my city right cuz you know where I live it’s really a calm place you know nothing happens
Here right nothing happens right so I get in that Vibe it’s like n no no Outsiders get out right and um I went by and then when I went by I asked someone and I was like what is this what
What are they doing right cuz I I don’t know it was in finish right and I’m not that fluent in Finish somebody told told me and they were like it’s because of the mining that is going
On and the mining uh company are going to move to another location further in Finland up north further up north and they’re trying to protest to prevent this from happening cuz they’re going to destroy so much [ __ ] right like you know you know the same foresty stuff right and I was like
Oh okay so that’s actually not a bad cause then I understand you know but um yeah so I respect it with uh Europeans in general protesting and um you know letting their voices be heard you know when they’re disgusted or disgruntled with a particular topic or manner you know having a good
Community we because it the sense of keeping the community see keeping the community going so that everybody can enjoy it that sense of community was a huge C shop for me but it is something that is
My favorite thing about living here in the UK so there you have it the seven biggest culture shots I appreciate it mom um but y’all can go check out the original video and go you know subscribe to her Channel she got 351 subscribers go ahead and go subscribe to her Channel help her

Dont walking, use skiis
For me #1 one for shure would be driving on the other side of the road. I wouldn't even dare to drive there without some extra training first.
Weather is such a dumb one. I mean thats a culture shock you can also have as an american in america if you just go into another region.
Stingy!! Wtf?
Oh the accents in the uk are crazy different, even within the same city you’ll find completely different accents, not to mention the differences between for example a south London and a scouse accent, and that’s just England not to mention wales Scotland and Ireland 😂
I really enjoyed your video and comments plus learning more about the world around me.
Overhere in the Netherlands people living 3 miles from each other use different words, and within 25 miles they even speak a dialect I can not understand. And driving to a other countrys with a other language it takes me ten minutes.
She “endured” the weather????!!!! 😳🤔🤔what?? The hot weather temperature reached 30c and she was worried she would dehydrate?? Did she experience wild sandstorms whipped up by the strong winds from the Sahara Desert? Terrifying tornadoes – seeing the roof of a house flying up in the sky? Was she struck by lightning in a fierce thunderstorm? Or due to the Arctic conditions had to wear thermal clothing and snow ski to her place of work? A diving suit because of the Flooding? – yes, well a bit of that I suppose 🥺
No…. She just witnessed the usual and typical British “weather conditions” that most of us just get on with 🙄. If I had the opportunity to travel to Death Valley, I might have to “endure” the heat there though, but then again, it’s called Death Valley for that reason I believe!!
Word of advice to the lady, always carry a rain mac, wellies and a brolly, together with a tee shirt, flip flops and sun cream in your shopping bag – be ready for any sort of weather then!
In the UK you can literally get a different accent in a town 10 miles away. We have so many accents nobody has even counted them.
Accents in the UK are on another level. You cant compare the 2 AT ALL. Find a video on accents just in England. Not even Scotland Wales or Ireland. Just England.
There's nearly 40 accents in a country about the same size as Michigan
American accents are also very difficult to follow,given the strange words used there with odd pronunciation and very poor enunciation;(hairy padder had a glarse of wadder from hermeeony and Ron ),if it were not for the subtitles,most american media would be unwatchable.
The U.K’s weather is hard to predict because we sit under 5 different weather systems. And on our accents there are roughly 40 in a country smaller than Texas
It's funny hearing an American pronounce Britain with a glottal stop on the t so the t is not pronounced. I think Brits can understand American accents better than Americans can understand British accents. I think it's to do with exposure because Brits hear American accents on TV and in films more than Americans hear a wide range of British accents in those media. Also perhaps the variations in accent are greater in Britain, or I should say the UK, not to forget the Northern Irish accent.
There are currently 40 regional dialects in the UK. The accent can change in some areas within 10 miles. There are 30 dialect in the USA.
Thanks for reacting to my video. It means the world to me as it’s my first. Much Appreciated! ❤❤❤❤
The US (and Canada) lack hugely in dialectal diversity and the accents that come with it, especially in the west of the country where the presence of the white colonisers is relatively recent compared to the east, or even more to the UK.
I think she's confusing "shock=horrified" with "pleasantly surprised".
UK accents are WAY more diverse than the US.
I used to live half way between Liverpool Manchester citys. 35 miles in a direct line with at least 30 accents in that radius wit Chester city in the South and Preston in the North East. Takes a while to tune into some of the subtler ones but completely wide variety of accents.
I think England has more accents than America, The accents are different in London , North East,North West, Yorkshire , East Midlands, West Midlands,East of England and South East, The accents I carnt understand is people from North East of England , West East of England and people from the Midlands.
Britain has way way way more accents than the Americans . For a start most or all YOUR accents of the English variety stem from us , we didnt export ALL of our peoples . Our accents come from foreign invaders like the vikings in the north , the french in the south , constantly being forced to change and merge , for intsnce most Scottish ' slang ' what i call my language that i use exclusively round other Scots derives from north Europe . Your redneck brethren in the south are predominately of Scottish origin ( not proud ) Hillbilly originates from the Scottish escaping the british army due to a rule , put the Scot up first kinda thing , and in support of king billy rebelled and joined the south or something to that effect
Is it nice living in Finland ? I’m a north wales Welsh person and I love living here never lived anywhere else .I admire people who can live in other countries as I could not , I would miss my language to much . . When I go across the border (England ) 😊 I like it when I come home and see the road signs in Welsh and English . Home then 😊
weather is not culture
In England, proceeds to use the UK flag. UK equals four different countries. So experiencing only one and using a flag that represents multiple is not a good look. That’s like using a EU flag of you only went to Germany. It doesn’t make sense.
No, we really do have a crazy number of different accents here in the UK. You have to remember that we are exposed to a LOT of US American TV, film, music, etc. So we hear the different accents in the states. Ours are far more diverse. It's not just different accents in different counties. Accents can change a matter of streets away! The reason for this is that the UK is very, very old. People didn't travel much in the olden days, so accents developed almost in isolation and departed more and more from what might be called a 'normal' accent, although there really isn't such a thing in the UK. With the advent of the radio and, particularly, TV, everyone was exposed to what is still called the 'BBC' accent, or Received Pronunciation. This became diluted over time to result in what we call a 'normal' British accent. However, I for example, have a slight Bristol accent (it's a thing, mine's actually a Bedminster (Bemmie) accent which is a small part of the city of Bristol). Other Bristolians think my accent is 'normal', whereas people from elsewhere can hear the Bristolian accent when I speak! Many of our dialects have words which are peculiar to that particular dialect. Like, for example, as a Bristolian, I might say to you 'Owroight me babber?' (it's a greeting) or say that I come from 'the general areal o' Brizzle'. The 'l' at the end of 'areal' is not a typo.
So please dont' say we're not as diverse as US Americans when it comes to accents. We are well-known throughout the world for having extremely diverse speech (accents and dialects), especially for such a small country. You have to travel round the UK and then you'll soon realise how wrong you are! it's actually a little bit insulting for someone from another country to categorically state that our accents are not diverse when they clearly haven't travelled throughout the UK or bothered to research it. It's like telling all Native Americans that they all sound the same. We are generally very proud of our heritage, whatever part of the UK we come from, and our accents are part of that heritage.
The US is a country where INDIVIDUALS went to get a better life for THEMSELVES.
They left their European COMMUNITY for that.
So. No surprise the US is what it is.
