Throughout this trip I have heard German, English, and Czech. Being in London I would hear some words that didn't sound familiar. London and Grantham are both similar in the way they speak. From what I observed when they greet or give introductions, it is similar to how we say things. We say hello and introduce one another in a similar manner. What I found interesting was one word in particular which was "cheers". They used this to say goodbye, your welcome, and basically a nice way to say have a good day. When in the grocery store I would hear children call their mothers "mum" which I thought was cute. They also speak in a softer tone than us Americans. We are loud, so it was hard to hear what they would say at times. In general I think of London and Grantham  speak more proper English, but we are similar in speech.
