"Remember! We are British. We love to steal everything and call it our own." That was Brilliant! 😂😂 I love your sarcastic sense of humour🤣
😂😂
😂😂😂 it's perfect
It is funny, but the fact it was about was wrong. Pronouncing Ts like Ds isn't an American influence at all. We tend to think of it as American because their accents do it a lot more, but it is a long standing feature of British English.
The thing with Karl Urban is, even he learns how to pronounce the words correctly, he still sounds Kiwi/Aussie to me because of the way he drags vowels and the musicality of his speech :D Great lesson, Aly!
It’s been approximately 3 years that i’ve started watching your immensely useful videos, as a result, the range of my vocab as well as my knowledge in English have been improved, thanks to you mate. 🙏
Love to see it! 🤘🤓 keep it up!
As a foreigner raised on both British and American movies I speak mix of those accents with my own 😄
Your every video is incredibly super.!😊 You rock! God bless you!
That "free for a pound" phrase that the street food vendor in Camden town used to say to finish his stock at the end of the day. ..back in year 2000...as a Spaniard it took me weeks to get he was offering three items for 1 pound 😂
GREAT breakdown. Thank you!
OMG that's SO intersting. You give so much information!
Love the goofy expression you make when you switch over to an American accent.
Spot on! When we speak our eyes naturally bug-out EVERY TIME. 🤣 🤣 🤣
Great vídeo!
I love your videos sooooo much. I love pronunciation!
I loved this so much! your classes they've helped me a lot! God bless you!
Glad they’re helping! Let me know if there’s a video you wanna see!
@@papateachme yes

Hello Aly God bless you much I want to see videos about training British Accent.
How to sound like a true British!
when I want to review some of the many mistakes I make in Brit..ehm English I always go back to your channel mate! to answer your last question, there is a lot to learn from the Guy Richie's, the gentlemen for instance :)
Great video, you should do more of these accent critiques!
More coming
I miss you class Ali,
Great lesson!!!!
✌️
Thank you for uploading a great video, as always. I'm a fan of Peaky Blinders, so I'm wondering what you could say about one of the characters.
Thanks Papa English!!! You make me laugh a lot! Hahaha thanks! Do you offer any course or e book? 😀 I moved from Argentina to Bristol to make my British pron better 🎉🎉🎉 thankssss for these videos !!!;))
I do! Check my website: papateachme.com
I'm from Durham and have also lived in Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester. So I'm very northern. We actually don't quite apply the TRAP/BATH rule to the word 'can't'. We say it with a long a sound too. We definitely don't say it 'kant'. Some areas say it with that kind of 'a' but a lot longer (kaant) but most people actually just say it the same as southerners.
In the north east we actually often say it 'cannot' pronouncing it 'kanət but that's specific to us.
What I find irritating when actors play British characters is not so much the accents but when they use vocabulary and/structures that we wouldn't use. This is a scriptwriter problem. I always remember a supposedly English person saying "I'll go fix us some tea" in film once. We'd never say that. (We'd say "I'll go and make some tea" or "I'll put the kettle on".)
They also do weird things like in Mrs Doubtfire in which Robin Williams speaks throughout in a pretty good Scottish accent but then talks about growing up in England. This would be like somebody talking in a Bronx accent about growing up in Kentucky.
Speaking of Scottish, on behalf of the Scottish and the Welsh can you just explain that you're really talking about English accents not British. Only Americans refer to "British accents". And English teachers speaking to Americans.
Quite right about "can't". We northerners pronounce it the same as southerners. People from the West Country also pronounce it "kaant", like some northerners. Scots pronounce it with a short vowel "kant". If you hear a southern English person pronounce it like that they're actually saying "cunt". So you be careful out there.
What a pleasant young fellow.
Hello Papa! I love your videos! About this one in particularly, I’d like to know what you think of Renée Zellweger accent in the Bridget Jones movies. Thank you in advance!
Speaking as an Englishman I found her accent to be really good. She could almost pass as English but her accent was just a little bit too posh. She sounded a bit upper class which her character wasn't meant to be.
I watched "Him and her" before.. I love their accents there.
Thanks Coach Ali.Ilove South accent
I grew up in Cheshire and although I pronounce laugh, bath and glass in the typical northern way, I pronounce can't the southern way.
Hey Ali!!
Please check out the accent of the actor Tom Ellis from Lucifer series. Im a huge fan of him and trying to learn his accent
In general I'm in awe of people who do accents properly (if not perfectly at least passably). Nothing kills it for me like when people just have no ear whatever for a particular accent. For instance, I really like Daniel Craig's turn as Benoit Blanc, and think he does a decent job with the accent. OTOH I thought Cate Blanchett (as much as I find her a great actress generally) did a truly awful job with a Southeastern US accent in the movie "Hannah." BTW, any thoughts on her Scottish accent in _Charlotte Gray_ (2001 WW2 film)?
So how is the final L sound in professional (properly pronounced in Southern UK English) any different from how it's pronounced in a standard American pronunciation of the word (with a "dark" if not "Slavic" L)? Is there still a subtle difference?
I did notice what you mentioned about Peter Dinklage's inability to get that right in his turn as Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. He would always pronounce that final position L too "light."
The dark and light L are not different from each other when it comes to where the tip of the tongue is placed. The back of the tongue and its approach to the velum is what makes them different.
I'm Italian and when I speak English I realize it's easier to me pronouncing some words with an American accent and others, differently, with the British one. To be honest, I love British accent and find it much "sexier" than the American one. I don't know what English mother tongue people think about my accent. Weird? Funny? I don't know, because I mix both accents.
How I'm gonna speak like that living in the US for over than 7 years?😁😁😆
Joking my English teacher Jason Statham 🤪🤪🤪
I love both accents, English and American.
You'd be surprised at how often cockney rhyming slang is used in everyday discourse.
I love British accent
Next is going to be Jason Statham and how he is trying to sound like an american 😄
He committed the unforgivable sin of pronouncing 'twat' as 'twot' in the film 'Spy'. He's either been in the USA for too long or he was instructed by the director to say it like that.
This is great and so helpful. I think Robert Downey Jr's L is actually an American Dark L in "professional". It sounds very American to my American ear and we don't use a light L at the end of that word. Is it possible that our dark L's are just darker than British ones? Or maybe they're the same level of dark but we Americans hit it harder? To my ear the British L in that word sounds more delicate where as RDJ's sounds heavier. Also, wouldn't the British dark L being more subtle than the American make sense in the fact that you guys can drop it entirely and swap it for the "o" sound which you advise is a good solution to avoiding RDJ's "professional" error?
Btw, to my American ear, Dinklage definitely uses a strange, non-American sounding L. It must be light, because he sounds like he's doing a Schwartzenager impression.
I'm from Nottinghamshire and i pronounce laugh, last, castle and bath like a northerner but can't like a southerner 🤔
I'm guessing this guy's classes have a wait list. Lowest grade was an A- (9) and highest grade was an A++ (11).
But can’t is always long, even in the North. I am Mancunian and never have a short a in this word
Hey! Do you do any dialect coaching for actors or have any recommendations for coaches based in London (where I live)?
I do! You can DM me on Instagram ✌️
Lovely! Great channel btw 👊
Cheers! ✌️
How about rating Matt Ryan's accent when he portrayed John Contantine?
I’ll have a look! 🤔
I don’t think it’s fair to judge Tessa as Valkyrie as technically that character is an alien and isn’t British
She’s a legend
I’ve seen Dr Who. All aliens are British
@@noelleggett5368 haha... I couldn't agree more 🤣
Ally how about London..should it be light L as its the first letter..but when british people pronounce it I feel like its dark L..
Yeah that’s a light L ✌️😁
@@papateachme thank u
What about 'Secretary'?
Same rule! ✌️
Cockney accent, please PLEASEEEEE
Wait!?... Lilly what?
Gordan Ramsay, Boris Johnson so far are the ones I've tried copying.
i know people who say TWOT instead of twat. when they don;t wanna sound as rude as saying it properly haha.
i like RDJ's british accent. it's vvery very good. one of the best. 10
i like this "can't bath split list" thanks.
IKEA man didn;t say it northern! it was a softer southern. like he was from sussex, not london.
the Thor Lass: EXCELLENT first scene; "it is a he" yeah we do do that don't we, unless we home counties stick up ass. her accent is amazing. 11/10 is a great one; woulda just thought she was english.
Karl urban sounds aussie. with hints of real english. he gets a 4;
the poncy eyeliner emo twat: bumped it up to a 5.
Who's Lilly....?!😅😅😅
Sounds like a broken Chinese record, easier to listen to Texans whilst drunk
Wrong, everybody's favourite Sherlock Holmes is Benedict Cumberbatch
This is alright but you've chosen the absolute worst example possible: 'Can't' is one of the very few words that Northerners use the longer vowel for!
It's quite a common word that trips up Southerners attempting Northern accents. They'll shorten 'can't' to sound like 'Kant', which no Northern English person does. Similarly 'half' is generally long (except sometimes in the phrase 'half-past'), and 'father' and 'rather' are generally long except in some very broad accents.
In the North East the A in 'master' is often long too, which sounds oddly Southern to the rest of the North! I like how Bob Mortimer, Greg Davies and Alex Horne on the programme 'Taskmaster' each say the show's name differently - Taskmaaster, Taskmaster, Taaskmaaster.
Never heard anybody say strawbry????? 🤣
The Boys was made as like a parody to superheroes so maybe your theory is correct
Aren't there people in the UK that pronounce twat more like twot?
Maybe some Americans who live here 😂
@@papateachme You may not wanna "tweet" that one 🤣
No. Honestly. That sounds really silly to us.
Britlish
boaawoa
8:00
And i just cant respect that score. She is not doing a convincing British accent. In all honesty... what did you watch?
The scottish accent is the hardest to understand.
Yo look you always criticize American English
