It’s amazing to see you guys together. When I started studying English in 2014 you both were and have been my favourite teachers. What a superb video :)
Thanks, I enjoyed making this with Emma. We made another video which will be published on her site at some point which is on the cultural differences between the UK and North America.
This was one of the best engvid videos I've ever seen ! having you guys together was Amazing and The subject was also very Informative . please keep making this kind of videos more often .
Interesting video comparing British and North American accent. It’s great to see my favourite teachers at the same time. Thanks for the superb lessons for us.
The best camparison of British and North American accents I've ever seen. Actually, I find the RP the best English at all, but the accent of Emma is also very good sounding. Thanks a lot for both teachers!
These were and still my favourite teachers since I was a trainee teacher. Really great to find you acting out this fascinating lecture together congrats 👍❤️
Thank you to both of your teaching different accent for compare is it quite good it help to hear different sound but l like Emma joke l am always laugh for it .is it pretty good to see learning ways
Hi Benjamin. Congratulations about your channel. I think it was a great idea to do this video. I've been following some of the EngVid teachers. Emma is one of my favorites. Now, thanks to this class, I'm going to review your channel too. I think is going to be awesome to learn a different english pronunciation.
New York and Long Island accents have the "r" sound similar to that in RP, ex.: "pawkway" for parkway; whereas Eastern New Englanders tend to drop their "r"s, ex.: "But it's illegal to paahk ya caah rin Haahvid Yaahd." Eastern New Englanders also for the most part have both kinds of Canadian Raising in words like "like" and "about".
I really enjoyed this lesson! Thank you so much! I was taught a British accent, if I may say that because of the level of teaching. And it seems to be closer to me, but Emma sounds so good as well! It's a sort of a music to my ear when you both are speaking. The lesson is awesome!
For me like a non-speaker, the British accent sounds more elegant, it makes me think about the English literature in middle ages and how England was in my imagination, while I find the North American accent easier and practical:) thank you very much, wish you all the best, Benjamin and Emma
Yes sir you are teaching the great but l have not enough vocabulary to understand all l praise that you are english powerful one l love your english guide ways thanks to you
Virtually everyone in Anglia would say 'bree' for 'bury', or I thought, everywhere - and no association to being 'posh' - it is almost a diminutive form. It happens with many words in many languages spoken fast, the 'consonant swapping' the R sound comes to the front. It happens in many words and dialects.
Thanks Usman! BTW you are using the wrong tense here - I would use the past simple as it's a completed action in the past. So the correct sentence would read: I did my degree in London and am amazed that I can still understand the British accent!
Before class, R.P. just evolved from the family of 'south east England' accents ( which used to have a strong R and also rolled R also ). You can encounter people who are totally working class, with an R.P. style accent, in the south east of England. Also, a large amount of accents T drop, or soft T not just south east, but many places. Ie: 'Wa'ah' ( Water) 'Par'y' ( Party ) but this changes at times depending on situation. Most people do both intermittently.
@@engvidBenjamin Likewise, yours also ;-) If you have not seen it, check out the Victorian Lady interview, from the 1870s , she has a rhotic R and also her use of the world ' Venturesome' :-)
He doesn't have a strong RP accent. It is a southern English accent but more of a modern southern English accent (Good country accent imitation). He show's North American speech influences in the flattening of his speech as opposed to "creaky" voiced older generations. She's definitely Canadian. American/Canadian speech has held on to older English conventions. The T-D (sometimes F as well) issue is straight out of old English. It occurs in many Germanic languages. Eminently inimitable is what drives many parts of modern speech in the UK. Upper class speech in the UK is eminently inimitable. That's why there are many upper class British speech patterns that are more influenced by French speech patterns. Southern English is the closest to north American English primarily because the early American colonists were overwhelming from Southern England. Universal education came earlier to North America. With Universal education came standardized speech. In America they tended to pronounce all the letters and they stressed a even tone to speech. Later on Webster's dictionary increased this pattern as well as removing what Noah Webster thought were too many "Frenchism", ie Color-Colour, Flavor-Flavour. Strong R comes from the west country and most Americans have it. Soft R as is found in eastern England is mostly found from New Jersey north through New England into the Maritime Provinces. These areas are were the original settlers came from. About...Canadian U sound is from the older pronunciation. US speech is closer to modern English shorter U.
Thanks for additional info about the differences of North American from British English accent, yes that's one of error for non native English speaker like me
Excellent Lesson. My "french accent" is near the UK english accent . American speak with the Noose like Duck. UK more with the Mouth and down of the Face. Like french. In south of France French is spoken nearly like american Langage. Like Duck with the Noose and up of the Face.
I've been learning RP accent.And I love it.I love it when i speak it and listen it. I listen RP speakers such as Allon watts, Boris johnson, Jermey Paxman etc. Banjamin your way of speaking ( sounds and words pronunciation) is clearer and I think It is modern RP. I want ask you one question Do RP accents speakers use regional Slangs Or only advance and posh words?
I always wanted to know and hear the differences between UK and American english but after this video i got it. I would like to know which accents will we hear when will we take TOEFL and IELTS exam ? Thanks.
I am seeing this video from India. I am 11 years old and from seeing the videos of you two , I have developed an American as well as a British accent. Thank you so much for this video Benjamin sir🙏 But I have a doubt.....what is this cockini accent ?
Hey. I will think about that next time I make some videos. In the meantime, have a look at www.engvid.com and search for beginner lessons - there is a useful menu on the site to help you find the right videos.
A really stunning lesson. Two wonderful teachers. I notice a strong difference in the British and North American pronunciation of the contraction can't. In the British pronunciation, it's quite clear they meant cannot. But in the North American pronunciation, it's sometimes hard to tell if they meant can or cannot, because they don't pronounce the t. I'm Brazilian and I avoid the British pronunciation, because it's very close to the pronunciation of a very rude word.
It might be a bit of a shoke to you, but I always watch your videos for the purpose of entertainment, not to exclude the part of being educated by your lovely lessons. Thank you very much guys.
The phrasal verb 'to pull something off' means to manage to accomplish something - it doesn't quite work in the context of your comment but I understand what you mean :)
Watch the next video, where we talk about cultural differences! ruclips.net/video/VZrrmR9PF3g/видео.html
Benjamin, I wouldn't like to hurt anybody, but I think AmE pronunciation is more beautiful.

Love British accent. I have done my bachelors from London and I am amazed, I can understand British accent more than North American.

One day...

I really enjoyed the word 'water' .. It made me remember Thomas Shelby 😍😍
Such a great character...
@@engvidBenjamin seriously
I really love this lesson, Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed this
I like British accent but it's harder for me.
As English language learners, the main goal is to understand different accents rather than being able to replicate them.
It is easier than American..
Ommit the R ...
@@IORIYAGAMI32 You will sound Nigerian. It's difficult as hell
@@engvidBenjamin Oh, yeah! It's very important especially when you're watching movies because there are so many different accents.
Time just flies with you guys ☺️

Thanks, but do note that information is an uncountable noun and therefore has no plural form.
This partnership reminds me Ella and Louis "Let's call the whole thing off" :)
Love you both!
I wouldn't go that far!
British accent sounds really nice
Thanks
Thanks both of u for making video together🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I wonder that you guys enjoyed a lot making this video. And me too! It got pretty funny with you two trying the accent each other. 😄😄😄

"so" in British accent sounds like "soi" :)
Can do - depends on the accent.
WOW that's awesome beautiful lovely speak English In English and yes sir, very a lot, of people
I always wanted to know and hear the differences between UK and American english but after this video i got it.
I would like to know which accents will we hear when will we take TOEFL and IELTS exam ? Thanks.
IELTS uses a variety of accents. I am less familiar with TOEFL.
I am seeing this video from India. I am 11 years old and from seeing the videos of you two , I have developed an American as well as a British accent. Thank you so much for this video Benjamin sir🙏
But I have a doubt.....what is this cockini accent ?
How do you have a doctorate at the age of 11?! The cockney accent is a London accent.
@@engvidBenjamin I knew that you will ask that....actually its my father's account and he is a doctor. I am messaging from his account.😅
Actually in American the middle T sounds more like an (R)..like saying water ( warer).
You're right.
Could you give some more examples?
@@engvidBenjamin
Matter, better, butter, little etc
There is however, countrywide, and regional accents within the British Isles. The main 4, is Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish.
Absolutely
Thanks a lot to you both
No problem - it was fun to make.
Please make a video how to start learn english for biggner and can we learn english in our house?

What is an NNE accent?

It's nice to hear the sound of uk, less stronger r. But im happy coz i initially have known american accent which i first used to pull off my tounge.
