      It's rare to see this kind of situation in our school, but it's quite common in many English language training centers which hired foreign teachers.
      The posher the teacher speaks, the more likely to become a professional teacher in that center. The language center will also advertise the teacher's Posh Speaking accent

    In British English, we say long vowels quite often and we omit the /r/ sound frequently. We also, usually, have a deeper voice and a less croaky-like pronunciation. Apart from that, it’s really just the extra vocab and knowing when to put the glottal stop instead of the /t/ sound.

    Thank you Tom, you've answered a question I have had for years! I am German, I've learned English at school in the 80s and at university in the 90s, I have a pronouncing dictionary - and I have always been taught the yod sound without a doubt. Duke, Tube, tuna - always only with a yod sound. That's why I also teach my students the yod sound. And suddenly I keep on hearing all these words with a tsh/dsh sound! And I always wondered why when who... I even asked English friends and they couldn't explain. Now finally! I do have my answer, thank you so much! (Now the question is - will I be able to change my way of speaking so that I can teach my students how those words are pronounced today?) (Btw the students' textbooks all use the 'old', or as you now explained 'posh' pronunciation!)

      An English singer Johnny Flynn pronounces "dew" /dju:/, not /d͡ʒu:/, as most of the British would pronounce it, nor /du:/, as most Americans would pronounce it, so it sounds neither as "Jew" nor as "do":
      ruclips.net/video/2F9DDBhjOdE/видео.html
      And I remember Galadriel in "The Lord of the Rings" pronounced "seduced by power" as "sedyoosed by power", not "sejoosed by power". She was portrayed by Cate Blanchette, who is from Australia, and I hear "tuna chewing" from Australians as well as from the British, but still she didn't turn /dju:/ into /d͡ʒu:/.
      On the other hand, this English teacher pronounces "deuce" /d͡ʒu:s/ so it sounds the same as "juice":
      ruclips.net/video/sqZ5r6q8_Sc/видео.html
      So it's up to you!
      By the way, "tuna chewing" creates 4 pairs of homophones: "Jew" & "dew" (or "due"), "June" & "dune", "juice" & "deuce" and "jewel" & "dual". But I can't think of any minimal pair which contrasts /t͡ʃu:/ and /tju:/. Probably it's because there are few words that begin with "choo". Actually I can think of only one: "choose". "Tuesday" usually sounds like "choose day" in British accents, but "choose day" is not a word.

    Thank you so much for your videos. I'm a Yank living on the continent and used to do a fair bit of business in the UK in the property sector. It's amazing how much the English appreciate their language and the ability to speak it well. Quite challenging for a Yank, but gratifying when you're able to find words and expression that resonate with one's interlocutors.

    When I was in High School (it’s nearly a year since I left ) and when I was at High School I was taught by a technology teacher who spoke in a similar style to The Queen’s English and even though I was taught at a School called Hazel Grove High School .
    I was really interested in why most (not all) the staff there spoke with a posh accent.
    (the only thing that bothered me was the commoners in Mainstream because some students there didn’t speak as well as the students in my department)
    (The common mainstreamers spoke a load of Poppycock) .
    By The Way I went to that High School from September 2014 until July 2019 (I only graduated last year )

    You have a flat broad tongue (you may or may not have macroglossia -- one would need to take measurements to determine its volume relative to the volume of the oral cavity), and this is causing you to have a slight lisp. Also you have a mild Class 3 intergnathic relationship (the mandible is held slightly anterior to the maxilla).

    Fun fact: the word POSH dates back to the time, when people would sail by ship to India, Malaya, Australia and New Zealand. The cabin on the ship would be booked PORT SIDE OUT, STARBOARD HOME. So sailing around Africa, the travellers would have their cabin facing the cooler morning to noon sun, and the same sailing home. The cheaper cabins facing the warmer afternoon to evening sun where for the common people. Wealthier people who could afford the cooler cabins, soon became the posh people, as they tend to speak anyways the educated English. The wa‘er in Mahjorcah is not what it‘s ough‘a, innit?
