If you are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Afghanistan, or anywhere else in South Asia, this is the video for you! I’ve visited South Asia many times in my life, and there are many South Asians living in London, so I’ve had a whole lifetime to listen to South Asian English. Many South Asians speak very, very good English, but some aspects of the way they speak English are confusing or considered incorrect in British English. Watch this video to learn what these issues are, so that you can correct them today. My tips for South Asian English speakers cover grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and tone. For example, if you change your intonation in a sentence by putting the stress on a different word, it may be perceived to have a different meaning. But the word you put the stress on in India may be different from the one you should put the stress on in England! Also, South Asian and British English speakers sometimes have different meanings for common words like “hotel” and “backside”. Even if you are not South Asian, this lesson will help you with your English pronunciation.
It’s Urdu Not Hindi . Hindi is different Language.

Is “much too” (in question #4) a common grammar construction (I’ve never seen it before)? I think using “too” sounds more natural to me, as in “Your music is too loud for me”. As a side note, Brazilians also have that tendency of inserting vowels, especially at the end of words (probably because most words in Portuguese end in a vowel)

very resourceful lesson,thanks Benjamin.

Well, I scored 70% because I misunderstanded some things about: the word “hotel” I knew it no no, and two points that I answered like: “much more” instead of “much too” “your music is much too loud for me”; and “more” instead of “too” “it’s too cold outside” thanks so much Benjamin :)

No offense but for a teacher (Benjamin) if you don’t know how to speak proper Hindi then you should at least try not be hilarious. And those quiz questions are for kids.
