you didn't tell them what we call cigarettes... oh they'll love this.
I'm an exchange student from Germany and I learned American English and I didn't realize how different it is...so if I would go to England now I actually would have to learn a whole new language :D
Sensible for the British is the most logical decision or just common sense
I think sensible is a good one, for us we may say something like that a sensible eating plan so it kind of means good decisions. For the British, it seems like it means right or correct. I don't know, just something I observed. Also, I cracked up during both of those videos. Your facial expressions are hilarious and precious. Keep making videos.
The most important one...
A fag is a cigarette!

"route" can be pronounced both ways in America when meaning a train route or anything related. It just depends on what part of America you are from.

My favorite word I learned in England was "chinwag" and "chuffed to bits". Not to mention the "loo".
when I went to London it was pretty cool that people were fascinated by the way I talked. Kind of like how if we hear an english accent we think its the coolest thing ever..the english teens in London thought it was very cool to hear the way I speak. Cultures around the world are so interesting-this was a great video!
I say root and route the same. It really just depends on the person
This is interesting...I had no idea about any of these things. I'm glad I know now!
