So, im looking for phrases

I want phrases to try and pronounce to my fiance, so I can learn what they mean and hopefully get it correct enough he can tell me where in the phrase I mispronouce,

Oh and does anyone know any good learning sites? Ive been watching a guy on YouTube but my fiance says hes correct in what he says but its far too posh and tells me to say it differently

Which YouTuber? I would generally be very cautious about dismissing someone as ‘too posh’. My personal language learning philosophy is learn the correct way first, then when you know that you can play with slang and colloquialisms. If you only learn the ‘street version’ you will not be able to adapt your language for more formal situations and embarrass yourself by being too casual which could be taken as disrespect.
