    Love British English here it's an amazing accent from people who were born here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ❤
  • when i was growing up, i lived not far from the UK sector in West Germany back in the mid 80s. I heard more of British accent and picked it up really fast, I was 3 at the time. After moving back to US, I kind of lost it... guess more like its mingled with the American accent. Now, I'm trying to get it back, the way I speak is mostly British grammar mixed with bits and blobs of American grammar. I always prefer British grammar over American grammar. Countless times, I have been corrected in American grammar, but I just blow a raspberry and go about my way xD. Love your videos, mate by the way. They're really good to watch.
  • As a non native English speaker,,one of the most British words that i've noticed must be " innit" .

    I'm sharing this lesson with my students from a linguistic high school in calabria, south italy. Good job!
  • Hi tescher Tom you are a good teacher. Thanks s lot for sharing us everything you know.
  • Thank you have beautiful British accent. I’m beginner in English. I speak Swedish because I live in Sweden, and Spanish because I’m originally from Chile. Now I learn English my third language
  • I do luv' your videos!! It helps me a lot to get that British accent I am aiming for. Cheers and hugs from Asunción, Paraguay. ❤❤
  • @nutapril4560
    You are. Clarity on communication is the first priority.
  • @premanadi
    Americans don't say "bu-lay" (ballet) with a schwa, the first syllable rhymes with "cat."

    As a Chinese living in England, what I found it challenging for me to have a better accent in speaking English is that it is not too hard to imitate native accent pronouncing individual words. However, when it comes to a whole sentence, the intonation, rhythm, stress, I can tell my Chinese accent is really strong. Chinese we speak every single word equally strong whereas in English, there is weak form and connect speech, I really get struggled
  • @helener7101
    Amazing video, really interesting, thanks. I love hearing British accent, especially RP or modern RP, it's the kind of accent I am trying to have.
  • @nutapril4560
    I’m particularly interested in the glottal T restrained in some British English accents. I have noticed such omission of the tea in some words like what you have said ‘water’ as ‘war +ar’, but I could not spot what made the difference until you said it. Thx. Very interesting.
  • @PurnaRodman
    The aw sound in office, want, cough etc. is pronounded variously in the US, not identical to Britich but no a long ahh as you describe.
  • @user-oe1bu5qw1w
    3:42 I would say that southerners replace, because language of northerners is closer to Middle and Old English.
  • @raphmcafee
    Have you thought about doing a video on the Transatlantic accent? I think it'd be interesting to hear your take.
  • @zainabverdiyeva
    Hi👋🏻 firstly, thanks for such useful educational videos❤ I'm sounding to both American and British accent speakers🙋🏻‍♀️ using english as the second language, what do you think which accent I should choose to speak ? Which one is preferable and sounds cooler?
  • I suppose... when people Say they want to learn British accent they talk about accent that uses actors on Netflix series. 😂😂😂
