Want to understand what on earth British people are talking about? You’ve come to the right place!
Not The Queen’s English is a weekly podcast, in which we have a casual chat about a topic relating to British English or life in the UK. We’ll be covering everything from making small talk about the weather to understanding the jokes in classic British sitcoms. We’ll be speaking the way we do in real life, using lots of colloquial British English, and explaining the slang and cultural references we use along the way.
Whatever your relationship to the English language, there’s something for you here, whether that’s a new idiom or phrasal verb, or a bit of regional slang, or just finally understanding something said on Drag Race UK that went over your head first time round.
For every episode, there’ll be a handy cheat sheet, explaining key words, phrases and cultural references from the episode, which will be available to our Patreon subscribers, along with various other treats. Patreon subscribers will also be able to download an extended version of each episode.
If there is a subject you’d love us to discuss, join our community over on Patreon and let us know.
