      You're most probably from a country where English is widely spoken but is not a first language. Because they tend to adopt whatever parts of the accent suits them, so it will be a mix.
      I'm just assuming, I might be completely wrong.

    @ALupusAlbertus 4 года назад +138

    The problem for most non-native speakers is that they probably learned British english pronounciation at school but forgot it later because they mostly had contact with American english speakers. The result is a strange mixture that exposes you immediately, even if you actually speak English quite well.

      Another factor is that USA is one of the biggest exporters of pop culture to countries with English as an official and/or a commonly used language, but consisting of non-native speakers, like South Asia and parts of Africa. So even though we learn the British variation of English in school, the "native" accent we most commonly come across in film or audio is the American one. Philippines might be an exception to this as they have a history of American occupation, so the variation of English they learn is probably the American one.

      But when it is not your first language, you need to pronounce it really accurate to make people understand. On the other hand, if you use American accent, even if you mix in some of your own accent, people still understand. I am from Asia, and when my teacher tries to use British accent but not quite accurately pronounced, I can't understand them.

    What an impressive video! By the way, can you do 'Why Chinese speakers sound Chinese' with Jackie Chan or someone else? Most Chinese, no matter Mandarin speakers, Cantonese speakers, Wu speakers, have such characteristics like:
    1. Can't pronounce 'sh, ch' or else like in China, Shanghai, and so on,
    2. Exaggerate the ending consonants (non-Cantonese),
    3. Replace v with w,
    4. Replace h with x like in Scottish,
    5. Pronounce tr, or dr, as sound like chw,
    6. Capable of pronouncing, but exaggerate the 'schwa' sound,
    7. Replace the voiced consonants with Tenuis consonants.
    A video, or some similar stuff, would be helpful among Chinese native speakers!

      ​@clement Asampana I thought I made mistakes and you could notice that English isn't my native language, but you thought I'm American, ok.
      I don't hate Englishmen. I just took two versions of the language what I learn, compared them and made a conclusion that American version a lot better than British.
      You're ignorant, not me. I've already told you how English became an international language. You don't want to believe it, because you're too arrogant but this is true. For example Russia had Poland and Finland, but they don't speak Russian, so, a language spread not throug colonialism.
      You have to understand, English ≠ England. It isn't your language now, you're just one of those who use it in their own way. Don't think that all what was reached by English belongs to England, no.
      And my nickname is "Asbest(asbestos, a metal)" not "as" and not "best", I divided this word because youtube wanted me to fill name and surname fields.
      Your head is thick, silly arrogant boy.

      @Mack No that is a myth. English accents and American accents have both changed and are still changing. American accents have been influenced by the many immigrants from non English speaking countries over the years. There are many English dialects [ I'm saying English rather than British because Scottish and Welsh dialects are so different and are influenced by their own languages ] and many of these English dialects retain features that date to before the US was colonised.
      We have certainly not changed our accents to sound 'fancy'. Some of us sound more educated, or speak more standard English, others speak with strong accents that can be hard for people from other areas to understand.

So the result is a funny mix of Italian accent (I'm from Italy) and texan/british pronunciation 😂 (texan because the first youtuber I've ever binge watched for months without captions was Grav3yardgirl, and british because I try to imitate the beautiful and perfect speech of John MacLean.)

      Negative F another example of a American who thinks they are the best in the world and are angry about other people's right to have their own opinion really is disgraceful

    I wonder why Trump always makes me laugh hard whenever I see him or hear him talking

      Sometimes his New York accent comes out he was born and raised there lived his whole life. I like his accent and the way he talks though but I like American accents. But it's not nice to make fun of others accents because just remember where ever you are from someone might make fun of you and then people say that is "raciist" if you make fun of accent from another country but you do it to us an it's ok? No. America is the best country one of the best and biggest and we probably got the most accents we are really diverse and unique country. But yes Trump has the New York American accent this is where he lived.

      But even in the US, the hard New York/Brooklyn accent like Trump's is considered to be low class.

    Wow, your lessons are excellent!
    For ESL learners, if they want to learn American accent, there are a few very detailed and awesome channels on youtube, such as Rachel's English, Clear English ,etc. However, if they want to learn British accent,
    there is not even one available channel on youtube. What a shame for all learners.
    Hope that you will make more videos about British accent.

    I have an American accent. I thought this video was put together so well, I managed to suppress my impulse to dry-heave each time Donald Trump appeared and opened his dumb mouth. On the topic of the letter "R," I find the "intrusive R" found in some British accents (and even some East coast American accents) to be a fascinating phenomenon. British actors seem very skilled at imitating American accents on the whole, but the "intrusive R" is one of those "tells" that makes me suspect an actor playing a character with an American accent may not speak with an American accent natively.
