Episode 236 Real British English: UK Dialect Words You’ve Never Heard Before

Hello and welcome back to Emma’s ESL English! This week, we’re diving into some brilliant and bizarre British dialect words — from sea fog called fret or sea roke, to mountains named bens, fells, and bryns.

We’ll also explore how bread rolls have a dozen different names across the UK (seriously — baps, cobs, barms, and more!), plus Scottish weather words like driech and hoolie that perfectly describe grey, rainy days.

British English is full of regional quirks, and understanding them can really help if you're moving here or just trying to follow what people are saying.

I’ve also included tips on how to get used to different global English accents, like Australian and South African — remember, it's totally okay to ask someone to slow down!

Hit follow and leave a comment if you enjoy learning real-life English — and feel free to share any weird words you’ve heard in the UK below!
