Hi I'm Joel and I'm Lia and today we've got a pronunciation video for you this
is part 2 of London Tube stations that you might be pronouncing incorrectly so
let's kick it off the first one is a very satisfying one I think it's Ruislip
you might be saying it Roo-is-slip that's how it's spelt but it's actually
just pronounced Ruislip the next one is Balham which is on the Northern Line
south and it looks like bal-ham but it's just Balham and it's quite close to
another station that's also mispronounced Streatham yep so not
Stret-ham or Streth-ham yeah it's Streatham here's a boy saying it
Balham here's a girl saying it Balham another good one is Maida Vale which is
a really cool name for a place it's sort of central but Central West and a little bit of info about Maida Vale
it's also nicknamed Little Venice yeah because there's lots of little boats around there, lots of canals it's really lovely it's also not far from Warwick Avenue yeah
which is famous because of a Duffy song yeah so those are two for you Maida Vale
and Warwick Avenue the next one is a really Central Station
it's Westminster people get this wrong all the time even English people it's so
annoying people say Westminister yeah I'll meet you in Westminister you're like
no there's not an extra i it's not minister it's minster. Westminster yeah so easy
to get that one wrong and it's probably somewhere you might visit if you're a
tourist in London because you've got Big Ben, the houses of parliament, Downing
Street - 10 Downing Street, Downing Street, not just number 10
another one that you will need to know is Borough lovely Borough Market is
there it's around the London Bridge area it's a really nice place to go but it's
not I think Americans would say Boro, but it's not Boro its Borough here's a
lovely picture of us at Borough Market love it there, it's a really nice place you get
lovely - loads of stalls, it's all basically just food
cheese's pastries vegetables wine street food loads of street food so
worth getting down to Borough Market it's very busy on weekends but I think it's only
open on weekends. The next one is Greenwich Greenwich is spelt Greenwich
mm-hmm so if you're saying it like that it's Greenwich fact about Greenwich
you've got the O2 there, which is a big Stadium, a big big arena where there's lots of
huge concerts going on in London yeah you've also got I think it's the Royal
Naval College or something it's a beautiful massive building a really nice
hill you can climb and then have a nice view of London I've personally never
been there but I just want someone to take me to Greenwich Greenwich market as well, I know we keep banging on about markets Greenwich market is definitly
one of the best for sort of British made items and the similar sound
Woolwich, like Woolwich Arsenal it's spelt in a similar way to Greenwich its
spelt Woolwich but it's Woolwich Greenwich yeah running theme here so the
next one is probably one of the most complicated-ly spelt ones is Theydon Bois
and where is that station I don't think I've even heard of it, Theydon Bois
I think it's in East London on the central line I seem to remember always
seeing it when I used to live at that end of London don't know where it comes
from it sounds a bit French almost yeah Theydon Bois thing is you're probably
never gonna need to say it because I'm not sure anything is there, unless you're
visiting someone there yeah why would you get out at Theydon Bois, no it's Theydon Bois
There's also a station on the DLR which is called Heron Quays and because it's spelt
like quays you always hear people say like Quay and like South Quay yeah
Heron Quay but it's KEY yeah so South Quay, Heron Quays, West India Quay these are all
stations on the DLR fun fact about the DLR there's no driver they're driverless it's
amazing you feel like you're on a roller coaster if you're at the front of the
train, it's brilliant. so the next one is Plaistow, I think it might be
Plaistow. People differ on this one I would say 'Plah-stow' sometimes I might
say 'Play-stow' but I think 'plah-stow' makes more sense to me yeah but I mean it's
interchangeable 'plah-stow' makes me think of like play-doh for some reason like
plasticine yeah plasticine Plaistow, we will have to listen to the way
the tube lady says it, yeah we will - I never go that far - But I think sometimes it might be like "this is a central
line train towards ... Hainult via Newbury Park..." I'm so London, they're embedded in me, I've not memorised that.
That's a good one Hainult, not Haiiii-nult, not Heinz beans, Hainult and Plaistow, what do you think, let us know in
the comments I'm sure they will anyway and then the last one is Dagenham which
is actually in Essex it's not in London but it's still on the tube line you go
to Dagenham East yes on the end of the central line District, I think, I think it's District
Dagenham East and there's a lovely film 'Made in Dagenham' it's worth a
watch it's got Sally Hawkins in it cracking British actress so yeah worth
a watch and that's it guys that's our little pronunciation video of tube
stations plus a little bit of dotted local knowledge for you yeah the last
video went down really well you guys seem to really enjoy learning how to say
these tube stations right even I like watching these sorts of videos I've got
an idea for London, go on then! How about the Queen reads out all of the tube stops so
you can hear how the Queen would say it that would be great! She needs to be the
voiceover so she's like "welcome to Victoria" everyone would love that "alight here for my house" that would be good you
should pitch it to the Queen yeah so thanks for watching guys if you enjoyed
