Can YOU Pass This (FUN) American English Test? 🇺🇸🗽🤠🦅🇺🇸

Hello my lovely students.

I have a fun lesson for you today.

You're going to find out how  American your English is,  

and we'll do that by testing your knowledge of  American culture, traditions and vocabulary.

But don't worry, this is going to be a  very fun lesson and you'll learn a lot.

Welcome back to JForrest English.

Of course, I'm Jennifer.

Now let's get started.

Question one, what would an  American English speaker call this?

Do you know any ideas?

We call it a Band-Aid.

So if I'm at your house and I cut my finger,  I would ask you, do you have any band aids?

Now this is a bandage,  

but American speakers always call it a  Band-Aid because that's the brand name.

The most common bandages are by the brand  Band-Aid, so we just call it a Band-Aid.

Question 2A related question and make sure you're  

keeping track of your score and you  can share your score at the end.

Question two related question,  what is a Band-Aid fix?

Speaking of band aids, what is a Band-Aid fix?

Any ideas?

A Band-Aid fix is a temporary  solution to a problem.

This is an idiom in English that uses the  word Band-Aid by putting band aids on it.

But I could say filling the  potholes is a Band-Aid fix.

The entire Rd.

needs to be repaved, which  would be the permanent solution,  

And filling the potholes  is the temporary solution.

And that's why it's a Band-Aid fix.

And I hope my videos help you permanently improve  your English so they're not a Band-Aid fix.

So put no band aids.

No band aids.

Put no band aids in the comments,  but it's just a Band-Aid fix.

Question three, What would an  American English speaker call this?

Do you know any ideas?

I would call it a Kleenex.

Kleenex.

For example, can you pass me a Kleenex?

Now these are tissues, but again,  

the brand name is Kleenex, which is  why Americans just call it Kleenex.

I need a Kleenex.

And keep in mind we do this even if we don't  use the brand Kleenex or the brand Band-Aid.

We still just call it the brand names.

Native speakers don't use brand names  for many things, but Band-Aid, Kleenex.

Also Q-tips, which are technically cotton swabs.

I've never called it a cotton swab, always Q-tip.

Also Chapstick, which is technically lip balm,  but the brand is Chapstick and Tupperware,  

which is the brand and it is  plastic storage containers.

The brand is Tupperware, so these  are the main ones where Native  

American English speakers just  use the brand name Question 4.

This is a fun one.

I'm an American at a baseball game.

What am I most likely eating?

What am I most likely eating?

What do you think?

Put it in the comments.

I'm eating a hot dog.

That's right, baseball and  hot dogs are synonymous.

Now there are other options, but  I'm most likely eating a hot dog.

And if you asked this question to 10 Americans,  I'm pretty sure all 10 would choose hot dog.

But other common food items, maybe you said  are peanuts, popcorn, pretzels, or nachos.

But again, most likely I'm eating a hot dog.

Question five.

Another fun question.

What does the Tooth Fairy do?

American traditions What does the Tooth fairy do?

Any ideas?

The Tooth Fairy takes your tooth from under  your pillow and leaves you money in return.

This is of course, for little kids.

When they lose their baby teeth, they take that  tooth, they put it under their pillow and they're  

so excited because when they wake up in the  morning, the tooth fairy has left them money.

And of course the mom and dad are tooth fairy.

But the little kids, they believe in tooth fairies  

until of course, they grow up and realize  it was their mom and dad leaving them money.

Does that tradition exist in your culture,  or does that sound super weird to you?

The idea of putting your tooth that  fell out of your mouth under your  

pillow and then waking up in the morning  and getting money, Does that sound weird?

Because traditions can definitely sound  weird if they're not part of your culture.

But of course, to me that sounds totally  normal and it was a part of my childhood.

So what's your score so far?

Let's move on.

Question 6.

If I ask you to complete a task, what 2 words?

Two words should you use to accept that task?

Any ideas?

Let me give you a hint.

Will you do me a favor and subscribe to my channel  like this video and share it with your friends?

And to accept this task,  2 words, what can you say?

Will do, will do, will do.

Jennifer will do ASAP as soon as possible.

You can do it right now, just  click subscribe and like.

Or if you want to sound super  American and very confident you  

can reply back with one word and say done done.

Because you're expressing it as if you have  already done it, so you're putting it in the past  

tends to show how confident you are  that you accept and will do this task.

But remember, those two words will do.

Question 7.

If I'm starting to get angry  because I'm hungry, I'm.

I'm hangry.

You knew this one, right?

I've taught this to my students in many  different videos and shorts as well.

I'm hangry, which is a  combination of hungry and angry.

Someone's hangry.

I'm not hangry.

Tito question.

Ain't another culture and traditions question.

What do Americans most  commonly eat on Thanksgiving?

Do you know?

Of course it's Turkey.

Turkey is synonymous with Thanksgiving.

In fact, a lot of people call it Turkey Day.

If you Google Turkey Day, it will  tell you the date of Thanksgiving.

Question nine What does?

Let's Uber it.

Let's Uber it.

What does Let's Uber it mean?

Any ideas?

This means let's take an Uber.

So notice how I'm turning Uber, which is a noun.

If you're not sure Uber is  an alternative to a taxi,  

I'm taking Uber the noun  and I'm using it as a verb.

Native speakers love using nouns as verbs.

So instead of saying I sent you an e-mail,  

a native speaker will say I emailed  you so using e-mail as the verb.

I'll call you on WhatsApp later.

WhatsApp is the noun.

I'll WhatsApp you using WhatsApp as a verb.

Native speakers, we love doing this, but we only  do it in specific situations with specific nouns.

So for now, just use the three I taught you.

And finally, question 10 how  are you doing with this test?

Question 10 If I answer, it's going great.

What question was I asked?

It's going great.

What's the question?

The question is, how's it going?

How's it going?

Great.

Going great.

It's going great.

Those are the three different  ways you could answer.

And of course, instead of great, you can  choose whatever adjective you'd like.
