Differences in British English are not limited to pronunciation.
Polite speech, subtle humor, restrained expressions of emotion, even the leisurely conversations of teatime? Only when language and culture come together can true British communication be achieved.

This book is the first introductory book to British English that deals in earnest with British speech and lifestyle.
The author studied and lived in London for over 10 years, acquiring firsthand British pronunciation and culture. As Korea's first British English influencer, he has been conveying the charm of British English through videos that have accumulated millions of views on YouTube and social media.

British people often say “You alright?” when greeting someone.
Learners accustomed to American English might easily take it as a worried "Are you okay?", but in Britain, the most natural greeting is "Hello, how are you?"
And when high expectations are dashed, we say, “I'm gutted.”
A British expression that conveys a much deeper sense of disappointment and despair than “I'm sad.”
In England, where it rains often, even the expressions for the weather are unique.
“It's tipping down.” is not a drizzle, but a vivid depiction of a torrential downpour.
Even in a single sentence like this, the life and emotions of the British people are fully contained.

The book is divided into five parts: TALK, FEEL, SOUND, TEA, and SENSE, and covers everything from practical conversation to expressing emotions, pronunciation and intonation training, tea time conversations, language in everyday life, and famous lines from dramas and movies.
The 'Gems of Conversation' section within the text points out expressions that are easily overlooked, and the 'British Special' section even shows the lifestyle and mindset of British people.
Additionally, all conversations are provided as MP3 audio files, allowing you to train your eyes, ears, and mouth simultaneously.

As the author believes, “It is more important to add British accents and vocabulary to your own English than to obsess over pronunciation,” “Just Follow British Local English Conversation” goes beyond a simple conversation book and guides you through British sensibilities and classy conversation methods.
