Thanks for Another Awesome Video! This will help both native English speakers from different regions of the world and also non-native English Speakers who loves British English Accent.
That's great, thanks. Regarding many of the accent quirks, unfortunately their replication requires an excellent command of the language to begin with. E.g., it is much easier to employ them while reading than while speaking as the sequence of words is already there. Take for instance the characteristic waving motion within a sentence (prosody), I struggle to come up with the ending of a sentence quickly enough to finish it with a movement back 😅
To be fair, you need this standard accent to teach English to foreigners as a model of what clear, neutral English would somewhat sound like. Otherwise, teaching foreigners with a Cockney accent or a Yorkshire accent would confuse the learner. I have nothing against regional British dialects because they are indeed what makes the UK an amazing, interesting country but most foreigners are not exposed to those dialects as they are to RP. My point, keep the RP-like pronunciations for Standard English and that British regional speakers should just learn to code-shift to RP when talking to foreigners.
Hi, Molly! Could you recommend some books or resources to learn more about the "posture" of modern RP? Also, is it the same as "articulatory setting"? I've googled but still not quite sure what it means. I'm really curious to learn more. Thank you for always giving such great value 💪
Hi all- I always recommend Geoff Lindsey’s text “English after RP” but I’m not sure how much has been written on posture specifically… I personally have never heard of articulatory setting before but it seems plausible that it’s the same! Will look into it ☺️
Thank you Molly. As someone learning English as a second language, I found RP accent (like yours) very pleasing to the ear.
Really appreciated the depth of detail. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
