Could you do a similar video with Australian English?
thank you, Tom! I have enjoyed the video!
Thank you Tom ☀️
Great video! Love it!
I often find with Americans it is hard to tell if they are saying "can" or "can't".
Many, if not most, of us have two different "flat" a's in these words. (The one in "can't" is higher in varying degrees and may be followed by a schwa. Interestingly, this higher a is often used in the noun "can.")
CAN is pronounced real quick with no emphasis, sometimes you hear only C'N., while CAN'T is longer with a stop T.
This is what happens most of the time:
I can do it = I c'n DO it
I can't do it = I CAN' do it
@@silviomp That depends on whether there's another verb after it or whether or not it's emphasized. "I c'n do it," but "He can if anyone can" or "Yes, I CAN do it."
@@angreagach Yes, with no stop T.
Teacher Tom would you perform
Irish English and British English
including the British Isles?
Tom, when it comes to adverbs and adjectives, if I were to say "you are not speaking English correct" or "you are not speaking English correctly", which one is correct?
The supposed American "AW" is something I have rarely heard in the US, except in some dialects. Same for HARRY. OTOH, there are non-rhotic American dialects (e.g., NYC, Atlanta, Boston). Also, check out CONTROVERSY, CONTRIBUTE for tonic syllables. And maybe get an American to do the American sounds from now on.
you know i think we (in usa) say author with an ‘aw’ at the start.. pronounced here it sounded like a strange “Arthur”
Does British English treat prepositional phrases differently than American English? The sentence about Tesla stocks should say "has" instead of "have" since a prepositional phrase can't the subject of a sentence.
As a Northerner I have NEVER heard one of us say kant. Any I know it sounds like cahn't.
I am an American and the accent you put on as US is quite an extreme contrast. Maybe it is hard as a Brit to make an American sound intelligent.
But even as also in Irish English and British English
as well the British Isles
I speak RP as from England and upper middle class.
Defence is written Defense in Yankeeland mate. Great vid as usual.
Americans can't spell properly that's why.
Yorn (yawn).
You sound amazing in American accent 😮❤
Hehehe really? Thanks Raisa : )
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish Yes you do and i mean it 😄💕
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish Welcome darl 💕
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish I’ve got a great news to share,received my Bachelors degree provisional certificate.I majored in English and Humanities and did my optional on GED from University Of Liberal Arts Bangladesh. My convocation is due on May 7th 2024 :)
In the past,i did my O and A levels coaching from private tutors.
Right after graduation,i got tutor offer from my neighbour as she requested me to teach her grandson.
My new student studies in Nursery at Foundation school in Dhaka Bangladesh(where i live :D )
I tutor him Maths,Bengali,English,Science and Arts and Crafts.Based on the homework he receives from school,i help him out with the homeworks and also test his knowledge through some practising in writing English and Bengali numbers as well as alphabets in small and capital letters in both English and Bengali languages.
It's strange that [æ] is commonly used in transcription even if one pronounce like [eə] or [e].
Barth - bath
Fascinating. However I'm a 70 yo American and have never pronounced author, awesome, yawn or taught the way it's depicted here as American pronunciation. Baffles me. Perhaps that is more of an northeastern U.S. pronunciation? I'm a mid-westerner, so it sounded a bit odd to me. Also had to laugh when the American pronunciation of tuna was depicted as tunar. Not trying to be critical, just wanted to point out.....am quite enjoying this channel. Bless you.
I’m a Southerner and some of the American versions sounded very grating. Not something you’d hear down here. Sounds more like a California/General American accent.
I'm a northeastern American and I also never pronounce these words as depicted here.
@@weeksyifynative Californian her and ive never heard fiancee pronounced the way he did in the beginning with the hard A sound. I think to an extent theres some disconnect here when it comes to words that arent natively English. Almost like he expects Americans to say it "incorrectly." Like the way fiancé is pronounced in English English is not the result of a British accent necessarily, its how its pronounced originally in French.
There is a World of Warcraft YT channel called Taliesen and Evitel and he is a dead ringer for Tom, even Evitel looks like his partner and is American and has some similarities.
21:23 - I know this was supposed to contrast American "toona" vs British "tyuna" but to my ear it ended up sounding like "tooner." Great video, though!
Tuna is pronounced chewna.
Both Britain and America are great
BUT we do say Bath & Lather NOT Bahth & Lahther.
Oh awesome? I thought he said Arson.
In the "laboratory" example i wouldnt say the American version sounds it all it, we tend squish the vowel sounds in the front half of the word rather than the back half of the word. So it generally sounds like labrutory rather than laboritry. Appreciate the content just think theres a bit of misconception in some of your ideas of american pronunciations.
American accent is better than British ❤
🤡
Nope.
That’s not true
No flipping way mate
English accent is best so poops😂
