    TRANSCRIPT
    Hi, everyone. I'm Jade. What we're talking about today is some pronunciation tips for British English. Some of them are tips; some of them are observations that you might be interested to know. We've got eight of them, so let's get started.
    Pronunciation of-ed word endings. This is not specifically a British English issue. If your preference -- I don't know why I can't speak suddenly in an English pronunciation video, but that's how it is. If your preference is American English, this also applies to American English. So what I hear a lot at, sort of, around intermediate level -- sometimes upper intermediate level if you haven't had someone to correct you -- -ed word endings sound like this. I can't even do it because it's so unnatural for me. "Excite-ed shout-ed, remind-ed." It's so unnatural for me. But in fact, it's not like that. It doesn't sound like an -ed. It might sound like an /id/; it might sound like a /t/; or it might sound like a /d/. So I've got some examples here. This word, even though it's spelled -ed, makes an /id/ sound. It becomes "excited". "I'm really excited." "Shouted." "He shouted at me." "Reminded." "I reminded you to do your homework; didn't I?" And -- yeah.
    So now, we can talk about the ones that finish with a t sound. "Finished. Dripped. Laughed." They don't have the-ed sound. So that's an important thing to know about pronunciation. Even if it's spelled-ed, it doesn't mean it sounds like that. And what about the ones that end with a d sound, a "duh" sound. "Remembered." "I remembered what you said to me." "Called." "I called you. Didn't you hear your phone?" "Imagined." "I imagined a better future for everyone." So with those, it's a D sound. How do you know for each one? Go with what feels most natural when you're saying the word. The main thing is don't force the -ed sound at the end of the word because it's that that gives you an unnatural rhythm when you're speaking English.
    So moving on to -- this one's an observation, really. British English pronunciation. We have so many different accents in England. But one of the biggest divisions in our accents is -- it's between the north of the country and the south, and it's our pronunciation of these words: "bath" and "laugh", as I say them. I say them in the southern pronunciation. But if I were from the north -- if I were from the north of the country, I'd say "bath" and "laugh" because they have a different accent up there. Well, they've got loads of different accents, but they don't speak in the same way as me. So let's break it down into the actual sound. So if you're from the North, you say, "a". But we, in the South, say "au". So you say "bath", we say "bauth". And you say "laf"; we say "laugh". And you can also hear it in these two words. It doesn't have to be the first or only a vowel in the word. In the southern pronunciation, this is "commaund". But in the northern pronunciation, it's "command". And the southern pronunciation of this word is "caust". The northern pronunciation is "cast". The cast of Brookside came to London." "Brookside" was an old soap that's not on TV anymore, and it was people from Liverpool. And I was just doing the accent. Probably that's really irrelevant to you. You will never see that show, but anyway. You know, now.
    Next tip. I don't hear this that often, but when I do, it sounds really, really, really wrong. And I think this tip generally -- generally a good example of how -- just because we write something one way doesn't mean we say it that way. So in English -- American English, too -- W sounding words are the same as the "wh" sound in words for spelling. It actually sounds the same. So we've got two words here, "wine" and "whine". One is spelled with WH, and one is just spelled with I. "Whine" is a kind of moan or a kind of cry. Sometimes, young children whine. Sometimes, women who are upset about something are said to be "whiny".

  • @alexandeon
    @alexandeon 9 лет назад +17

    CAN & CAN'T: In American English they both sound the same and there is not that distinction that you mentioned in the British English. I thought that was a piece of information worth mentioning. One way of avoiding confusion is to look for whether the word " can" or " can't " is being stressed or not. In negative it is stressed. And , usually, in positive "can" is not stressed, and it has a schwa sound.

    Pronounce /id/ if the last letter of the verb ends with D or T ( exciTed reminDed)
    Pronounce /t/ if the last letter of the verb ends with non-voiced consonants, it means when your larynx does not vibrate when you say it (finiSHed, driPped, lauGHed)
    Pronounce /d/ if the last letter of the verb ends with a voiced consonant, that is when your larynx vibrated when you utter it. (RemembeRed, calLed, imagiNed).

    The rules for how to pronounce -ed are:
    Words ending in /t/ or /d/ sounds add /-ɪd/.

      Cumberland Dialect is a form of speech little altered over the years. I have experienced the odd individual who says true OLD Dialect is probably nearer Chaucer's English than modern English is.
      We us a combination of none English pronunciation, "phonetic" spelling and old/foreign words.
      Just one e.g. My Grandmother never referred to a Cormorant (Sea bird) as anything other than a "Skeg". Several years after she died I saw an article on TV - boat in Copenhagen Harbour - man pointed, and said (NOT sure of spelling)
      "Look, there's a Skegg now." pointing at a cormorant."

    if you are an arabic you would pronounce all letters of any language easily, the accent would be a little bit different but with practice you can resemble the native speakers. unlike some other language where they sometimes dont have some letters on their tongue, so learning a new language and speak it perfectly may be so much challenging for them ( like japanese and chinese have difficulty with l and r sound )

      Simply not true. The sounds of p and b, for example. Or the front vowel sounds in hid, head and hand. All these typically cause problems for arabic speakers.

    • @rwrw10
      @rwrw10 9 лет назад +1

      this might be true about the arabs people who speaks english without actually learning or studying it. ( who Gained english from movies and only know basics ) but in the other hand, those who studied english they Pronounce very accurate even if they never have been to native speakers countries..
      arab may have problems with spellings but Pronunciation simply won't be a problem for arabs .. like never.

    Where I am from (Romania) we actually have a letter for the #5 tip. It's " ă ". You pronounce it the same as that in the video, but we can actually write it.
    At the tip #7, most romanians replace the θ with " t ". They often spell the word "three" like "tree". "th" or θ can also be found in spanish spelling, when you spell " C " and " I " at the same time: "cinco" for example which means "five".

    You sometimes hear the "wh" sound in what when it's used on it's own, in an exclamation sense.
    "She took the entire stamp collection with her when she moved out."
    "What!"
    And when it's used in a normal sentence, it's a normal "W" sound.
    "What do you think she was thinking when she did that?"

But for everyone else who speaks Arabic like in the middle east and Egypt and north Africa.. etc who are completely different races you can't really say Arab just as you can't call someone in Australia English, so you actually say Arabic.. so you say for a girl from Qatar ana Arab girl but you say for a one from Algeria Arabic.

      @Nehmo 8 лет назад +2

      Luculencia -- Yes. Certain English accents and dialects are gradually disappearing.
      In the US, for example illustration, the southern drawl is losing popularity. TV, the internet, and general improvements in communication will unify the language. Indeed, right now, it's difficult to find a national newscaster with a strong regional dialect.
      The so-called Brooklyn accent is also disappearing
      I recognize, however, that lots of people lament like the process, and they argue that it isn't happening. But it certainly is.
      Now, in the UK, the numerous dialects ("dialect" is a better word as it is more encompassing) are melting together and are being assimilated in the greater universal English dialect.
      Cockney is going. Does Paul now talk the way he did when he was on the Ed Sullivan show?
      I would guess Hollywood sets the standard. The British don't make movies as well, so they lose.

    • @Luculencia
      @Luculencia 8 лет назад +8

      Lol we do make movies, they just don't usually get played over in the USA - personally I love British movies and British humour - Americans don't really "get it" so it doesn't become popular over in the USA but it's still well loved at home.
      British dialects are certainly changing (as accents and dialects all over the world are) but they aren't disappearing... and RP doesn't really change much with the times at all (RP is the "Official" way English is supposed to be pronounced - aka Queen's English).

Also in her inability to pronounce th properly, as with "wiv" instead of "with".)

    i am Turkish and unfortunately, our schools teachs American English(not just accent,everything.) (Even our teachers are Turkish and English is not their first language, we need American or British teachers who knows our language too.Wouldn't it be better?)
    so What should i do?Should i try to learn British English or should i speak with what our schools and teachers learnt?
    sorry Americans.I really don't like American English.

      My school does the opposite. We spell things only in the British way (realise, not realize / colour, not color etc.). We also have books from England only and my school "push" the students to study in the UK.
      I agree with you, I dont like the American accent, its like you re pronouncing sounds from your nose 😂 Although, the American one is easier than the British one, at least for me that Im Greek, I still prefer to have this good old accent that people in English movies have 😀

      Απόστολος Τουλούπας​ I think you're very lucky! And I think the same, American accent is easier.
      Also, like i said I am Turk and nobody speaks English here, even not American one. We speak our language and learning English is so hard here. I hope i can go to UK one day,that would be amazing.

      ıf you want to speak in a British accent that's okay you can keep trying but it is not very likely for a Turkish student to speak in a proper British or American accent unless you live in there for a long time. Also you don't have to adopt a British accent you are Turk so it is very normal for you to speak English as a Turk. Noone expects a British accent from you. that would be irrational. And about the thing you said Turkish teachers above , it is much better for you to learn English from a bilingual teacher because they learned English as you are doing now they know what you're going through they are aware of the learning process and familiar with the problems you may have while learning but a monolingual teacher ( in this case a native teacher ) may have difficulties while teaching you the language because even if they know Turkish in a certain level they will be still native speakers so they don't know the learning process of English . They acquired the language.

    I'm an English language teacher who is fond of the British accent , I ,once, sat next to a British businessman in the plane, and after talking a while he told me : please teach your students British English not American because the last is not a language , it's a dialect actually.

    Best tip for the British pronunciation is to 'eat' syllables - you will sound 'native' - 100% guaranteed :-)
    As she did unintentionally with the word 'vowel'.
    In fact one could expect concatenated 'vow'+'well' but a native would say 'vahl', which is always confusing to me, especially if the native speaker is speaking fast and additionally eating :-)
    This sounds funny, until you see the SO15 squad in your house , due to misspelling 'terrorist'(3 syllable 'tehr-reh-rist') and terraced(2 syllable 'tehr-rhist'), like this poor boy, who was a victim of his not the most clever teacher...
    Aaa - and do not pronounce 'h' in front and absolutely do not pronounce the endings !
    Again you will sound 100% British - as only Brits can understand that :-D
