To be fair, the way Vanessa pronounces "percentage" is clearly correct if you do so slowly and deliberately, but a lot of people (at least where I live) pronounce it more as "persennidge" in regular conversation.
I was going to say I don’t pronounce the t at all. More of persenage
Same with Canadian pronunciation.
Correct? That would really depend on who think their version is "correct" . Correct by what standard is what I'm saying to suggest.
The UK speaker is "correct", the down under is "correct" and the US speaker is also "correct".
@@kfelix2934 Each version is indeed correct for the region they're in. Not sure why you think I was trying to dispute that.
I'm simply stating that the more common pronunciation of "percentage" where I live is "persennidge".
I hate when accents drop the 't' glottalisation.
I feel like the asturalian English pronunciation is mix of the British and american..and close a more to the British
As an Australian, I can confirm that’s true haha
That's because it is. There are also tons of first generation brits in Australia, I feel like I can do a British accent if I want, although it'd probably be completely wrong. To complicate things more, I feel like some Asian Australians do a bit of an American accent, for example a friend of mine likes to say "my gosh" it drives me nuts.
I think australian speek like a surfer mix old people in UK, and any other country try to speek like american, because of the actually culture, musical market, Hollywood etc, sell it.
Yeah, it seems so
Yes, canada has a flag having mixed designs with US and Uk.

I've been speaking with Australian accent my whole life and I didn't even know Aus accent sounded like that until now. LMAO.
So these ladies just fooling around and just joking? 😂

Dear Lucy, I noticed that you pronounce 'either' the American way.
Also, I always call a duvet a quilt. When they first came out, as opposed to sheets and blankets, we called them 'continental quilts'.

I’ve never been more self conscious about how I speak until this video. Emma has a more polished and enunciated accent than someone like me from the working class suburbs of western Sydney who speaks with a stronger accent and less enunciation. Australian accents do vary to a certain extent. Social class, education, upbringing, ethnicity, occupation and socioeconomic status all play a role in how we pronounce words. My wife from the Philippines says we swallow our words which is a very accurate description. I have been aware that my accent is different to British and American English but never realised how much we replace the letters such as “ch” and “d” for “t” and like “chewsday “ (Tuesday) and “boddle” (bottle) and sometimes we don’t use “t” at all such as “percennage” (percentage). Another thing is we tend to drop the “g” in words that end in “ing” such as come-en and gowen (coming and going). It would be interesting to see a video on the difference between how someone like Emma speaks and someone with my accent.

Oh, that's nice!
How about the Covid19 cases in the US?
I hope that you're safe.❤️🇵🇭
Ms. Vanessa! ❤️ I just watched your latest video and surprisingly, got a notif from Ms. Lucy! My heart is so happy right now 😭😍😍
I used to use American English because for me is easier, but sometimes I mix up all the accents, because I have been studying with 3 teachers, one from Africa the other is American accent and the third one is British accent 🙂.
What about Harry poderrr
Thank you so much for your time Vanessa ❤️ 🇺🇸
I'm from Ohio (USA...just in case!) and we definitely have the same terminology and usage for "woods" and "forest" as the UK! I have never in my life referred to a generally "wooded area" as a forest unless it was as a joke or as part of a place that was legally designated as such (i.e., state forest, a very large part of land with dense trees in a national park, etc.).
Another great video. It would be fun to sit and listen to the three of you have a casual conversation.
Thank you again.
I think i speak for everyone when i say: I missed you
Yep!! I missed her so much
Oh yesss! And so did I... I don't need to learn English, but I often watch you with my 8 year old nephew. He's in love! He finds you so pretty and funny. No need to say he hates Will 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome back Lucy ❣❣❣
Correction dude : 'WE' missed you

hey guys! How is it going!
Come take a look at my channel. I've taught English for over 10 yrs. I hope you like my content, see you there!
The moment when you realize you have a strange mixture of British, American, Australian and Mexican spanish accent 😅😅😅
Julia De la Peña that’s a Mexican accent lol
Rigel Guerra that’s french
DavidBakeCake YT our R are way more accentuated in a french way so unless you’re a native french or speak french perfectly, you can’t do a french accent
That's German... Change my mind
So... Basically any foreign accent is likely to be a mix of the variants of English (American, British, Australian, etc)
I used to find English difficult, but after watching videos on this channel I felt I was able to learn it, especially with a British accent, thank you Lucy
I love her bafflement at Australia's complete lack on consistency
Australians have many versions of the accents, Emma is from Western Australia and her accent is totally different from people in Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney , Brisbane and Darwin etc.
@@shivendrasingh2862 Not so different, I would say Emma's accent is Melbournian
@@shivendrasingh2862 I'm from NSW and I don't find her accent very different to mine. I think the accents vary with location (e.g. urban vs rural) - more so than region.

What I learnt from this video :
So technically nothing is wrong, anyway you pronounce it becomes your accent until someone forces you to admit that their way of pronouncing is correct yours is wrong.
ruclips.net/video/dVNNnTQkVB4/видео.html
The fact that I am American and hear both other accents and still understand what they are saying is evidence of a specific fact of languages. Some sounds are clumped into similar groups naturally since there aren't equivalent words for the slight variations, so the variations sound like the same thing to us. Same goes for other English speakers. For example, if an American sounds like they are saying "Chree" instead of "Tree," well, there is no English word (that I know of) like that, so it just still sounds like "Tree" to a British or Australian for example.
So yeah, as long as you are understandable, you are fine. It doesn't matter what slight variations you decide to use as long as the people you talk to can understand you where you live.
Nothing is wrong it's all an accent! That's english 😂
As a brit from Liverpool, we definitely sound more Australian
I sm loving it. Thank you for making such a programs!

Love Lucy's explanations of the differences.
Me being from the northern USA, I can often tell the difference between the north and south with Vanessa's pronunciations.
I'm indian and I use combination of all the accent. 😂 But majorly British influenced accent. While growing up, we used to think this is wrong, that is right..... But now we realise no one's wrong, it's just the variation of accents.
You are absolutely right!
I think everyone who's learning English is like that😂 because I'm filipino and I mix everything up too!
I agree ! Same with me. I feel like I speak mixed accents.

sm here😂😂
Lol! Me too!
English is my second language (though I've been using it far longer than my mother tongue by now) and I find British English far easier to understand than any other variety. It's the crispness of both the vowels and the consonants (those t's for example) that gives it a lovely clarity. To my ear, American English sounds somehow slurred, a little "muddy" in contrast. Of course, the British English variety I have in mind is the RP type, exemplified by Lucy's speech. Regional accents can throw me for a loop!
Btw, I learned British English first and acquired an RP accent. After 40+ years of living in Canada, people often take me for a South African! 😂
It's amazing linguistic lesson about differents pronunciation and accents. Bravo ! J'adore ça !

Ok, so, I’m Thai and in school we mostly learn British accent. I was also staying in Australia for a year when I was 10 years old. And in my free time, I like watching RUclips, so I picked up American accent as well. As a result, I mixed all 3 accents. Lol
Omg me too
Im thai too
But many words ive learned it's from UK
But i got the US accent
When i heard some general words from US
I cant recognize it from the school
It's new word to me
11:47 Emma sounded even more American than Vanessa lol
Yep I also noticed it.
American English pronunciation largely depends on what region of the country where you were raised. There can be a huge variation between individual States. Where I'm from in Duty the T sound is clearly pronounced. In many areas of the US when a word ends in ING the G is often sharply suppressed or entirely silent. I suspect that's because of the large influx of Irish in the 19th Century. Irish accents, especially Northern Ireland, have that characteristic which seems to have passed on the regional US dialects. I don't know where Vanessa lives in the US but where I'm from we don't substitute D for T very often if at all. I'm in the Great Lakes region of the US specifically NE Ohio.
Staying in India, listening to this I guess we have a combination of everything🙈
We study British English in school and watch Hollywood movies, so yeah that explains why!

Please get those videos coming again! I really love watching this video and the other one as well of the 3 of u repeatedly every now n then ❤
All my whole life I was mixing the three accents and I pronounce every word as I like to 🙂
That's how the English language is! The rules are all made up lol
😂😂😂 best comment
Some Americans drop the T entirely in "percentage" sometimes. Sometimes I say "percentage" and sometimes it's more of a "percennage."
I said percentage out loud and realized it was basically missing the t. You learn something new everyday!
I say percennage and will never stop 😌
And in some places in England omit the t entirely
Bo'le
Wha'
Suumingk
Boo's
I was thinking the same
From the uk and that’s literally how I pronounce it aswell.
Thanks, this was fun. As a native (American) English speaker, I don’t think about pronunciation much. Now I feel I can better understand the differences.
This was great listening to the 3 different English accents. Great Video !!!
Now I can see how much american movies and songs influence my pronunciation. In Poland we are taught British English, but because of the media i feel that I use American more
ruclips.net/video/nC1lLvq-MEU/видео.html
Yeah, same in India
and with me in the Balkans
American pronunciation and words are pervasive. It creeps into the Australian language and some people aren't aware that they aren't speaking the Aussie lingo. I'm sure it happens elsewhere as well.
it's called soft power, unfortunately America is strong in this discipline
I can't believe in that pronunciation of "Tuesday" in UK... all I hear is chew-sday everywhere :)

Please remember that different parts of America also have their own dialects and ways of pronouncing words.
My family is from southern MA (Boston) and they say r (or rather don’t) more as ah. My mother still has her accent so my son was the only FL born kid who was foah (four/4). So interesting all the different accents just within each country.
Nobody forgot.
I guess the same applies to dialects in uk and Australia too
ruclips.net/video/s-5B-jjPNSs/видео.html
We know it the same and probably more with uk
I'm from America and miss Benny Hill!! My dad loved his show and had almost all the VCR tapes! Great video!!
Almost every pronunciation in American English depends on how carefully you're speaking. Whether we drop or use the "T" heavily depends on people we're speaking to. Like with Interview, I'd normally say the T in most circumstances, but really it's just both. Most words we have at least 2 ways of saying lol
I'll take that phrase for the rest of my life, at 4:34: "many people say it's wrong or lazy, it's not, it's efficient"😜

It depends on context for me. I tend to enunciate more carefully outside my direct family or peer group and speak more slowly.
Was just about to post the same 😉
It's so funny for me to recognise, how much I mix British and American english. I think that's because in school we learned British english, but due to movies, tv series and music I often or almost use American english.
And some words I pronounce in the Australian way... because I'm German? I don't know 😂 but I think that is the great thing about english. You can talk your way and the most will understand it 😊
Thank you for your videos.
Take care and stay healthy 🍀
A lot of Germans seem to speak with an American accent, which always surprises me. The Dutch usually sound more English than American.
Same.
In Spain people normally speak American, but my dad it's British, so I have kind of an Australian accent, though my dad says it sounds artificial. 😔😔
Heyyaaa I learn German at school😁✌🏻
Ich auch omg😂
British always wants their English perfectly pronounced
Lmao come to England ull change ur opinion this is only a few English ppl that talk like this. Most of the time we dont pronounce our ts

I live in the US and you must understand that we have even more accents than the British Isles do. The South Carolina accent, the south in general, sound very different from the east coast and west coast. I was listening to Vanessa thinking ‘nope, that’s not how we pronounce it in Nevada’
I totally agree. Born & raised in Colorado, but now live in SC. Vanessa doesn’t seem to have a strong southern accent, but she definitely pronounced words very differently from both CO & SC! 😊
British Isles has about 30 different accents.
I think the British isles would have more accents, considering that includes England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales and their regional dialects.

Actually, Vanessa's accent is slightly different than Americans from other areas of the country. Each region has slight variances. This also includes the names for everyday items.
I am American and I pronounce many of the words differently.
Her accent is not quite "standard American"; the most important metric of how you say stuff / what you call them is where you were raised, secondarily who you were raised by.
It's a really large country, people in the San Francisco area don't talk quite like her, though you can tell her accent is U.S. The "t" in the middle of words here is more of a tongue flip than a full-on "d", but it's pretty far from the aspirated "t" you find at the start of many words. It can change depending on the word or what sound it's next to.
Her accent is definitely the everyday North Carolinian
I wish I could tell the differences 💔🥲
Yeah, the Boston accent is very different from the others... but in general I could never tell the differences 😥
You'll find the same is true of basically any country's accent, especially when they're large and/or in groups isolated from each other. Emma's from Perth and her accent is very similar to accents from more southern states of Australia, but there is drastic variation from her more British-Australian to the more cartoonish one that Americans always use when they put on our accent.
Thank you so much ladies, this is wonderful.
I have been having trouble here in Australia with people understanding my pronunciation which is more American. It was really frustrating for me as I am a Registered Nurse who is about to go to university to do my conversion program. I find it frustrating having to repeat myself all the time. Thank God I came across this Video, I was actually dreading the idea of going to school and work but I do not mind repeating myself all the time anymore

English with Lucy Yes, that was just what I had been wanting to ask you to make a video comparing two countries which are New Zealand and Canada while I was watching your accent videos on your channel. But I would like to know more about another way to compare the accent. British vs NZ vs AUS and British vs CAN vs USA. Because I can recognise the different accents between British and AUS but I can’t hear the difference between NZ and AUS, also it is the same to me between CAN and USA. I have watched some videos about it but it is still blurry and vague to me. I am really enjoying learning English with your channel since I found you and your videos helped me a lot in my English improvement. All the teachers have a different method to teach their students, but your goal of teaching really works to me, especially in speaking and listening, those two are the most practical elements of learning another language. I just would like to speak proper English as my education level, not my English level and not as a foreigner. Your videos, however, got me in the right way to sound like a native speaker :) I was a quiet subscriber and supporter of what you are making, but I cannot stop saying all those words as you come back after a long time! :D WELCOME BACK and you are my lifesaver 🔅
Please include Maltese English and South African English as well 😁
This is a reason why I love British english because “can” and “can't” in British english are obviously what you can do and what you can't do. But in American english, both words sound similar😑
Yeah that gets annoying
Sometimes u will confuse, is it can or can't... And yeah i like british accent... And still learning....

The word *can* is always fully pronounced but when people say *can't* (since they don't pronounce the T), they shorten the N sound. Like, it almost comes to a direct stop once they've started the N.
Sometimes clarification is needed of course and I've also come across RUclips videos where people describe the difference before as well.
I caN do it
I can- do it
Keep in mind, English is spoken quite differently in different parts of the United States as well.
Listening to and watching Lucy is such a pleasure. Intelligent, beautiful and charming.

As a New Zealander, this is probably the first time I have ever gone for the Australian.
You traitor
The ANZAC spirit just died a little.

Yessir
Good to get some support from the East Islands.
American English really depends on what state they grew up in.
Very true. Pretty much every region has their own "twang". New England, Southern, Midwest, Appalachian, Texan, and many many more!!
Exactly also we call different objects different things
USA has lots of different cultures so doing all the accents would be seemingly impossible.
As all the countries in the world. Her accent was pretty neutral. That's what they wanted to show
@@arlequinacontostavlos2100 Wouldn't call 2nd/3rd world countries culturally rich, but yeah that's a different conversation lol.
If you mean the usa girl's accent, yeah i guess you could say "neutral". Definitely wasn't hard to understand her.
I just love the way you speak Lucy. Do you have an audio book? 🤣
In Australian English, whilst you do hear people pronounce "water" with the T sound "waTah" (the way Emma pronounced it in the video). It is also very common to hear people say "waDah" where the D sounds more like a rolled r sound.
The look on everyone's faces while it is paused... 😝
😜
🤣🤣
🤣
I just realised that us aussies speak much faster, look at the way they say words and then look how fast the aussies say their words
a lota tha speed comes down t' tryin' t' keep tha flies outa ya mouth...especially in tha summa... ;))
It’s because the American and British ladies were speaking slowly and emphasizing the syllables to show the viewers a more clear difference between the words, but the Australian lady just spoke normally. I can guarantee you, Americans actually speak pretty fast too.
@@madinamohammad1161 that’s maybe true since there is like many accents in America according to like the states, so some may speak faster but idk
I wanna go to Australia lol
British pronunciation of ‘weird’ is wee ‘id. I noticed British method removes ‘R’s’ quite a bit in words. Interesting. Language migration is so fascinating! Great video thank you!
Hello there! Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I enjoyed it very much and hope to see a lot more of you guys together again.
The vowels in Australian sounds like British but the consonants American
Lucy's American accent is so perfect it's jarring when she switches to it. I wonder if she ever switches accents unintentionally while speaking to people from different places?
I am sure she does. I grew up in the Northeast US and have lived in the South for all of my adult life. I speak 'Yankee' English when visiting home and 'Southern Twang' around my Southern friends and family. I also speak/understand 'Janglish/Engrish' as I have worked for a Japanese company for the last 26 years.
@@fredgilbert2032 cool!
My accent definitely gets less British-sounding when I’m talking to people with a different accent, though if I realise I’m doing it, I try to make myself sound more British because I hate it when it changes by itself lol
This is fun! Thanks for sharing!
Going into the reason as of why the accents differ is fascinating too. American English sort of froze in time in some ways, while having a quite a bit of Scottish influence in with the 'd's with words like "Duty". Really interesting.
Bear in mind there are hundreds of variations for each language. Even in Scotland, my country, there isn't one correct accent. It can change from 15 minutes along the road!
Absolutely! This is why I specified exactly where we are from, to add a bit more context. I love picking up on the minute little differences when I travel around the country!
True, but people from other countries have to learn something, they can't learn different accents.
i think we all have to be quite open minded. As the purpose of a number of videos are not to frattle people who are not interested in changing their accent, however who ever are, are free to do so. Normally we click these type of videos out of intrigue in improving our way of speaking. The intuition we have, that we shouldn’t have to feel the need to change our pronunciations if we don’t want to, Lucy is just simply and very well teaching us very useful widely used words and phrases. She is a wonderful teacher.
Yeah! )) I once tried asking an old couple in the street in Glasgow where's a shop or whatever. I just said thank you and went where the finger was pointing :D
@@dimbasick The Glasgow accent is the most difficult to understand for other British people. I'm English and I have problems understanding it sometimes.
lemme ge' a bo'l of wo'a and then we'll talk about the perfect Bri'ish pronunciation
Underestimated comment😂
A wuud læk loa woah, Am TTü|$'e!! lol I love it, it gets me êvry Tæime
That's Cockney mate funny how you Americans think we all speak Cockney when only 9% of British people sound like that.
@@willianbatalha if you think I understood anything you could never been more wrong
@@emmakabwik5119 I'm not American I'm Bulgarian and still half of the Brits sound like that for me
The "R" sound is so intresting! I speak English with a british accent because you drop the R-sound. I´m from a part in Sweden were we also drop the R-sound in many swedish words!
As a Bostonian, I can relate more with the Australian. 😀
I was just gonna say, the Aussie sounds Bostonian.
