- In this lesson I’ll explain the British English pronunciation of ‘R’ in different words. In some words the ‘R’ is sounded, but in other words the ‘r’ is silent. I’ll demonstrate the pronunciation, and will give you some sentences to practise on. To finish, you might even like to try this tongue-twister: Round the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran! www.engvid.com/how-to-pronounc...

Trust me, it gives an impression that you are actually sitting in a classroom learning something important. A Very few teachers has got the ability to create such magical environment that takes you back to your school days. Thank you for your endeavours towards teaching the world.
I feel the same :)
I agree with you, Arunava. I felt like if I were in a British school classroom sitting down in my chair taking notes while she was explaining quietly
I felt exactly the same.
You are right!
Great teacher..bravo!
Such a nice, peaceful and calm way of teaching.
And professional.
👍
Yes. She is great!
I love that way too !!
I love this lady.
Gill is patiently teaching listeners step by step and one by one the reasons of pronunciations for permanent memory. She is a great teacher.
Currently, I'm working on a project based on UKI. When I started I had difficulty understanding the British accent but with your classes, I'm not only learning how to listen but also speaking! Hugs from Brazil Gill :)
My coffee has been changed into a tea while watching this
Edit: Thx y'all for the likes!
xD
@@shawnlee6775 English breakfast tea? LOL...
my teeth changed structure during the lesson
Hahahahaha
😂😂😂
Real English, from the real person, teaching from the bottom of her heart.
real bri'ish teeth
Ohh yeahhh..
It’s just British English, even tho I live in Uk as a non English speaker I just can’t speak like that it sounds uncomfortable
@@lilmanq7746 It's really a form of English I Was born and brought up in Yorkshire and I can't speak like this it's virtually impossible for me to hold a conversation like this
Go to Boston in America they speak just like that.... Nobody else can understand them....
I am a foreign person and I can understand her very well because she speaks very clearly! She is a very good teacher for not native speakers!
Ох, как же приятно звучит классическое британское произношение. Прям наслаждение для ушей. И все понятно. Американское r-ыканье с детства не выношу. Мечтаю научиться говорить с британским акцентом, но не получается
Жиза. От американского r-ыканья коробит))
25 hard years studying English. Finally found this lady to explain it properly.
😁congratulations
@@vikrantChaurasiya1 thanks, she is great)!
@@marinarafik5948 she's great indeed!

AGREE
I love when she laughs at an American accent. It's so British.
Me too haha
lol
I always do.
Americans laught at british English & british laught at americans English
Akcja XD. All English people laugh at American incorrect pronunciations, because everything they pronounce is incorrect.
Единственная британка, чей акцент я понимаю. Thanks for the lesson, it was also very useful for Russian speakers
это received pronunciation, если не ошибаюсь
She's so sweet :(( the whole lesson made me feel warm 💗
She owns the patience and kindness my own grandma doesn't haha
she's so sweet, i feel like i'm learning english with my grandma 🥺
Lyhria Same
yes, she is.
You are right
I hâd the same feeling.
Same
Am I the only advanced English speaker who doesn’t need this kind of lessons at all but keeps on watching them because the lady’s way of teaching is extremely relaxing? 😁😁
Krodino POOPS she is, but I like listening to her because I can understand every single word she speak
@@victorjunco I too. I understand every single word she says and this is unusual. If I think about British rock pop music.... Oh no😊😊😊😊
@@simonamercuryjackson1874 Me too! I love the way she speaks!
😂😂😂
You're not alone. I'm fluent and I keep coming back because she reminds me of an English teacher I had in school, Ms Beryl
Excelente pronunciación del idioma inglés. Se entiende muy bien, es más fácil entenderle a esta bella señora que a muchos cantantes gringos.
Estoy de acuerdo)
I love how she shows the mouth position and repeats sounds as slowly as possible, so as to explain the right pronunciation to perfection.
I've been studying English for almost 30 years, never met such a thorough teacher before.
Thank you so much for your lessons Gill!
Wish I had found you sooner! Haha
Thanks a lot Gill
Watching her attempt to pronounce bark in American English, while still keeping a long vowel🤭
Finally figured out a teacher with satisfying vocal tone
Hidden Cuber At least,she has an English accent.
@@johnrice8786 Yeah. She has many years of experience too. That's why called old is gold
@@hiddencuber2250 "Old is gold". First time I hear that phrase. Thanks for sharing it. I like it.
Sharing is caring.
@@ahdell5536 You're cool. "Sharing is caring". I didn't hear this phrase before.
@@hiddencuber2250 I thank you for your kind remarks. 🙌😀 By the way, my son taught me that phrase, "Sharing is caring". From you I learned, "Old is gold".
Best regards.
-How to pronounce"r" in Spanish?
-rrrrrrrrr
Actually there're two ways of doing it, the one, you've described, is about rr sound, while a normal r is not so much roaring, though compared to English it sounds pretty much like this.
Or Indian... The rrrrr is really a tongue twister... Never to be jumped outta it lol
Have been living in Spain for 17 years and the Spaniah r and the rolling r are still a nightmare to pronounce for me. Asking for a te verde (green tea) or te rojo (red tea) in a bar is no easy task🙄

@@ciarandunne1164 things might turn tough, when English is your first language ...😁
My dear Teacher from UK... Thank you for helping us learning this amazing language.
I am from Angola🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴, and I love your channel
I love how Ms Gill teaches us pronunciation. It would be wonderful if there are more videos for phonics.
As a native English speaker this video makes me realise just how awkward our language is and how many exceptions there are for every rule. I'm endlessly impressed by anyone who is learning it as a second language!
or as fifth language lol
What a beitifull language
Most of us don't really learn it at school. We absorb it from the popular culture which in our times is just Anglo-American culture sold abroad.
@@magicienthomas8622 i mean, of course asian languages are way different than english in structure etc, but europe (like the "westerns" you called us) is full of other languages that are also built different! For example slavic! (Not to mention that russian, Ukrainian etc Has own alphabet)
In english you can say "play, played, playing" and that's it i guess
But for example in Polish you got
"Grać, gram, grasz, gra, grają, grali, gracie, grająca, grający, grające, graliśmy, gracie, graliście, grałyście, grał, grała, grało" and much more depending on gender, plural or singular time etc! 😁
So imagine if language like that would go all around the world as well haha
British English is exotic and beautiful, wonderful in our ears; I could be listening for hours. The awkward thing, is to use the Latin alphabet to write down in English. The actual language is the spoken one, not the written one; hence there's no awkwardness in the English language.
This lady is just ADORABLE, I really love her way of teaching and the way she speaks :-)
Me too,amazing!!!!!!!!
Old school teacher. Very nice
@@MM-kz9pd I like her too .
Sameee
Yes and i can understand her. My english is horrible:)
I've always found the silent R to sound quite refined, classy, and pleasing to the ear. I use it quite often despite being raised in the US of A.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I hope other people struggling with pronunciation all over the world would learn from this, brilliant job. xxx
Hi
I really enjoyed listening to your way of explanation. As a teacher of English language you are brilliant.
I pronounced each word so carefully that I felt like a kid learning English for the first time lol. I had so much fun!
Same here
@@eylemuren9156 Aynen :D
Same and I'm from England lol.
@@chickenmadness1732 ow fuck,i wanna be like you xd
I found my teacha
Where is the R ?
@@dkpchry I don't know
@@JohnRyanMagalona lol
@@dkpchry he wrote it this way on purpose. Smh
lmao
ADDICTED to Gill's excellent (lessons) advices. American English is a bit different and it's so good to have the opportunity to listen to perfect pronunciation and writting of British English! Love it!!! Especially for me being a stranger (french).
Thank you so much for this explanation! I've been speaking English for over twenty years, but have never had anyone explain this rule so clearly.
"R" has been so difficult for me to pronounce the right way, but now I can. Thanks to the perfect teacher. I am subscribing.
Am not British but my country is a commonwealth so we use British English, it is not difficult for me except the "th" sound.
Me too
Still not getting it right! Am Dutch and we sound every letter! Driving me nuts 😂
Don't worry, its correct how you pronounce it ..it just depends on who you are addressing... American,Briton,Australian, Kenyan,etc
just say it like Latino do😌 StRRRong
She is so cute🥺 I’m from Russia and I decided to learn British English. I’m going to win in this language war(I’m not sure about “language war”...🥺). She’s like my grandma, so cutie...I’m going to follow you, wonderful woman!🤍🥺❤️
And do I 💗💗from 🇯🇵
How are you doing?
I would request a bit more respect for this Queen of teachers, rather than referring to her as "cute". She is very serious and her methods are not only professional but also brought to perfection. Although I know how do you mean it :-).
@@lubos4639 Im from Russia and I want to make it more clearly for you. In Russia we have a world "милый", althrough it is translate like "cute" it have a lot of difference in meaning. Rissian cute is smth between graceful, charming and nice. It isn't always cute and sweet)))
Да, очень приятная женщина)) у нее голос асмрный))
Слушай песни Джеймса Бланта. У него очень красивый английский.
Thanx Gill it's very easy to learn it this way ❤️
Human
Excellent explanation Gill! Thanks a lot! I"ll give this class to my own students!
''Uh?'' Her face !! Loving her, she's so cute, and the way she speaks is so relaxing !
Yeah I agree
She looks like an alpaca, with glasses
@@shinraay is that supposed to be an insult?💀 or not, because alpaca is cute..
Lady Unairis no she is cute.
Hi
She's my favorite english teacher ❤ Thanks from Brazil
Também é minha favorita.
Concordo. A melhor de todas que já assisti.
A melhor professora concordo contigo
@@handressabenedetto3843 é uma lady
gustavo caro c Like football? Uso tópicos de futebol para ensinar inglês no meu canal. Por favor, dê uma olhada ✌️⚽️
It's such a relief to hear your voice, Miss Gill, thank you!
The most brilliant lesson on the R sound! Thank you!
This sweet lady is an inborn teacher, who loves teaching and equally makes her students to love learning. She's a clone of my lovely first-grade English teacher, Mrs. Aurora Beaumont.❤
Ariana Grande: yuh
Billie Eillish: Duh
The teacher: Ruh
I can't help :v
Oh my gosh, I'm really loving learn British English with you.
❤️👍 Creo que finalmente encontré una excelente profesora con quien aprender el correcto inglés! Thank RUclips for sharing.
She is full of energy and passion. I love to see her teaching. God bless her.
Me too
Asmr + learning. My day is complete.
Wonderful teacher! I enjoyed very much your class; although I have been taught American English, your class is highly valuable to me.
I really love it the way you teach , very clear .
She's the best teacher ever. Love her English lessons
I've found the best English teacher on RUclips. She's very clear, has a perfect pace and a beautiful British accent. It's very pleasant to learn with her. Thank you, lady, for sharing your knowledge! Greetings from Brazil!🙏🌹👍💪
I used to speak American and Canadian English. I came across one of your video clip 👍 love your lessons, you are the best real British English teacher ever!!
Well, there are dozens if not hundreds of English accents in England alone (let alone in the rest of Britain, in Scotland and Wales). For instance down the Southwest coast of England in Bristol, Devon and Somerset, people definitely pronounce the 'r' in words like farm, bark, etc. And there's no such thing as a British English pronunciation, as Scotland and Wales are also part of Britain and speak English too. And the accents in Scotland and Wales are very distinct to the ones in England.
I wanna say that when I saw the video was 17 minutes long I didn’t expect to watch the whole thing and just skip to the bits and pieces but to my astonishment I watched the whole thing. She made me feel like I can learn from this and stay focused. She has a soothing and calming tone. I like her. Moah of her British English lessons please.
Yes, we want moah!
For some reason I'm having this feeling that she was a Hogwarts professor lol
Are you potterhed ?
I am also
@@mritunjaisinha6643 so am i
lol
Sounds like a gryffindor lol
Do u mean Minerva McGonnagall?
She is the best teacher, she is amazing!
Misses Gill: you are a fantastic teacher!!! I´m from Uruguay, in South America. I´m 80 years old. God bless you and your country!!!
She's one of the great teachers I've come across; peaceful, calm, funny, focused and humble.
With this kind of teacher, there will never be dull moment in class.
God bless you ma'am🙏🏽
Hello , my name is Gilmar. How are you ?
Why is this recommended and why am I here? I’m British
ᄋ__ᄋ same 😂
Now you're twice a brit
teach us
This is exactly what i feel 😁
Probably because you're pronouncing British - "Buh-ish" :P
What an adorable old lady she is. I loved this lesson so much. I've learned a lot in just a few minutes than anywhere else...I loved this teacher. God bless her.
Absolutely brilliant explanation! Reminds me of school days. Baaaaaa-k, faaaa-m :) We all here in Russia studied British English at school. Alas, since American culture has significantly higher influence than British, and we more often hearing American English, my memory's been rewritten and now I'm more used to say baRk and faRm. Even tho I never stopped loving native British accent. Sounds royal to me.
It’s been 0:46 seconds and I already LOVE THIS WOMAN.
Greetings from 🇲🇽
I'm a native English speaker and even I want her to teach me english
:)
Amelie Gray, so the 'r' in your name is not silent... 😉

The best video about how to pronounce 'R' in British English that I ever watched. It helped me a lot. Thank you so much, Gill!
I wish I could have had such a good teacher at school ! Thank you ma'am.
Hello, Gill. I'm Mexican and I'm kinda obsessed with british English these days. I've just found your channel, you're such a great teacher. Thanks!
Im having fun re-learning the pronunciation of my sentences, protruding my mouth when its needed to be. Thank you Gill
A beautiful lesson there. It is very fascinating. She's into an in depth study. I love your teaching

¡Hermoso acento, muy claro! Se entiende absolutamente todo. Muchas gracias por este vídeo.
i really like the pronunciation and explanation of different English dialects, excellent learning, thank you very much
I love how she teaches 😭 She's so lovely ❤️
hello i would like to train conversation, would you host? i am brazilian and i have been learning for a few months.
She's so sweet. I wish I could hug her.
Maybe this is how the letter is pronounced in England but it is certainly not as it is in Scotland so please make the distinction a lot clearer. Not helpful at all
Thanks so much for this lesson Gill! Really useful!
This lady has the intelligence and a natural endowment to get closer to the auditorium herself when teaching.
I have been exposed to the American pronunciation. much more frequently than to the British one. So I love to learn this variation, especiallly the pleasing way you exlain it!
Thank you Gill! :)
Thank you, Gill! Excellent teaching!
It is nice to listen to your English lessons. Many thanks !
As a Scot I pronounce all Rs as Rs. Southern English people only seem to pronounce R where there is no R present (Lawr and Orda)
West country accents certainly pronounce all the Rs too. We sound like pirates and farmers.
Order has two R's 🙃
I agree. This is certainly not BRITISH English. Unless of course ( as usual) Scotland doesn’t count. Cows live on a faaam. Really?
GILL IS SUPER TEACHER/LECTURER & HER EXCELENT TEACHING METHOD!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Thank You for your teaching. It's easy to understand everything!
I loved your explanation. Thank you!
Loved the class ma'am
Truly your children and grandchildren are blessed to have you.
I just LOVE you Grandma
I want a Teacher like her🥺❤️her teaching is so good and she is so sweet and adorable🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️
I respect you teacher, really nice lecture!
I really love her teaching style, I miss when I was in primary 4 in Ghana.
