queue & quid

  • Intro

    Hello. In today's lesson, I'm going to teach you two very British words, starting with the letter 'q'. The first word is 'queue', which means a line of people. Americans would probably use the word 'line' rather than 'queue', but Brits prefer the word 'queue'. The second word is 'quid'. 'Quid' is a British slang word to describe a pound, so 1 quid is 1 pound.

Could I borrow 50 quid, please?
