    Its not just the pronunciation that makes the accent beautiful. The vocal cords plus your beauty and constant smiles on the face amplify the atractipn.

    My mother tongue is Portuguese, I've been taught American English since I was a child and it was hard for me to try and speak with the British accent, but after I've started learning German, it felt more natural. I've noticed similarities in some aspects and sometimes it is easier to pronounce certain words with a British accent instead of the American one. Thanks for the video, it sure helps a lot!

    in brief:
    The video provides a comprehensive guide on how to nail a modern Received Pronunciation (RP) British accent, also known as Standard Southern British English (SSBE).
    The video is hosted by Izzy, a Cambridge graduate and doctor based in London, who stresses that her accent is just one among many variations of British accents.
    Izzy focuses on seven key pronunciation points using specific words to illustrate each.
    Here are the seven points and words that she elaborates on:
    1. Long O sound: Demonstrated with the words 'hello' and 'open'. The emphasis is on the elongated O sound, which is considered a diphthong or a moving vowel where the mouth gradually closes down.
    2. Long wide R sound: The word 'tomato' is used to illustrate this pronunciation, contrasting it with the American pronunciation. This sound is also found in words like 'grass', 'bath', 'father', and 'laugh'.
    3. Non-Rhotic R sound: The word 'rather' is used to demonstrate this feature of RP, which is the absence of 'r' pronunciation at the end of words when not followed by a vowel.
    4. Schwa sound: This common, neutral sounding vowel in British English is shown through words like 'doctor' and 'rather'.
    5. Short Round O sound: Shown using the word 'honestly', which includes a silent 'h' and the round 'o' sound.
    6. Curled Round O sound: The word 'water' is used to demonstrate this point. Izzy also emphasizes the importance of enunciating all 't's in RP English, unlike in American English where the 't' sometimes sounds like 'd'. She also mentions the absence of glottal stops in RP English.
    7. Full T enunciation: The word 'daughter' is used to illustrate the full enunciation of 't's, as well as the curled round 'o' sound from the previous point.
    Izzy encourages viewers to practice these pronunciation points and suggests more content for viewers interested in refining their British accent. She acknowledges the diversity of British accents and focuses specifically on the modern RP accent for this guide.

Thanks for your suggestions although I'm afraid I'll never be able to lose my American accent (however a polite one). Being a non-native but having lived there for quite some time, it seems to be rooted in me and it doesn't want to leave, alas. You, on the other hand, could read the phone book and still sound pleasant😁

  • @alencaru
    @alencaru Год назад +3

    Thank you for the beautiful explanation. Basically the "-er", "or" sound at the end of the words in British pronunciation (RP) is a soft "a" similar to the "-er" sound in german but in german is a hard "a". That is what sounds to me as a portuguese native speaker.

      All have done evil “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) The penalty for sin is hell (Revelation 21:8). Because of Gods love for us Jesus Christ came down from heaven to take the punishment for our sin on the cross in which he was spat on, beaten, mocked and laughed at.
      Christ died for the sins of the world and The third day God raised him from the dead (Praise God). This was done so that those who believe on Christ will not perish (hell) but have life everlasting (heaven); be justified by Gods grace through redemption in Christ (John 3:16) (Romans 3:24).
      The blood Jesus shed on the cross washes away our sin if we Believe in The Son of God and his finished work (ordained by God) on the cross. When this happens the believer receives the righteousness of Christ in place of their own unrighteousness (all sins are forgiven) and this makes them saved (going heaven) and they are born again as a Christian. (Romans 3:25-26)

    You're incredibly eloquent, did not expect to enjoy watching these so much! I could probably listen to you for hours; I'd love to see you doing a medicine related channel. 😁
    But the term "RP" really bothers me, as it suggests this is the most prominent accent. Unless someone can give me hard evidence to suggest otherwise, I'll be very surprised if that's true. I've only met a dozen people in my life who speak RP. They're usually either retired or went to private school and/or came from a wealthy background.
    Most of us speak like total commoners. "Hey, s'up pal? 'Ow ya doin'?" 😂
