High Tea and the Low Down: A Guide to Misunderstanding British English

June 18 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

One of the most shocking things Americans find when traveling in Britain is not just the wealth of regional accents, but the completely different terminology Brits use in our “common” language. Would you know what to do with an aubergine and a courgette? Is it possible to be scrummy while drinking scrumpy in the scrum? Would you ever want to name a UK linen store “Bed Bath and Beyond?”

Chuckle while learning how to avoid Britspeak disaster on your next trip in this virtual presentation with Claire Evans, author of “High Tea and the Low Down: An American’s Unfiltered Life in the UK”.
