I remember the beginning. When i started learning English. I consumed the American a lot, but since I discovered the British accents fallen in with. I stopped listening to Americans. Nowadays, I consume only British content and follow native speakers from the UK. British accents are quite beautiful. ❤

Hi! I'm from Texas and the reason I'm watching is because my children insist I read them the Harry Potter books WITH the accents 😅 I will say I've never met a person who didn't like British accents and it's always lovely to listen to anyway.
That is awesome! Hahaha I wish you the best of luck!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're an engaging teacher. One teeny comment. The way you pronounce little is not RP.

Greetings to you,Benjamin, from Thailand,
I'm learning English for my work as I'm doing a home stay biz in the western part of the country.
Thanks for sharing this video 👏👏👏. I love British English ❤ and I would really like to see more videos about the RP.
A very good tip for the schaw sound is that it doesn't appear in unaccented syllables. Very good video.
Great video! I live in Canada and most people here usually say I have a 'British accent,' but Brits can always tell it's not spot on. I never really considered myself as having or even working towards a 'British' accent, but, since people here find it cool and it's (apparently) something doable, then.. why not? Hence here I am! Thanks for the tips.
I am Brazilian. It is easier for us to understand the British accent. It sounds so beautiful. Thanks for these tips. I will keep following you from now on.

Hi Benjamin. Thank you for your work. I enjoyed watching your video. I am from Poland and I have lived in Britain for 17 years but I still can't aquire the British accent. I do speak English almost fluently, in fact, I do think in English as well. I do watch films and shows in English and I communicate mostly in English in my everyday life. I lost hope I'll be able to have a British accent ever....

Great Video! I can't wait for more!! Can You create a playlist with videos about british accent?
Hi ! I'm from France and I want to learn the British accent since the UK is the closest English-speaking country to my place ! I also love the way it sounds compared to other accents like the American accent.
Thanks for this lesson
I'm from Portsmouth in the Uk, and I would say I have an "estruary" accent, which is the standard accent in the south east of England. In my city we also have the "pompey" accent which is a bit more cockney sounding but for some reason I don't sound too much like that. I've noticed the way to "REALLY" tell if the difference between upper/rp vs estruary is the way they'd pronounce "little". If they pronounce the "t"s like a "ckh" sound then they are trully genuine as most of us cannot imitate this. THAT is what separates the so called "Upper class" or "RP" accent from standard estruary accents from the south. I mean it's subtle but it's noticable to any native speaker of English or ones on that level.
Thank you...hope to learn more
Thanks for this cheerful and authentic RP accent.
However, if I may contribute with my humble experience.
About intonation and practice, I strongly believe that the key here is "mean what you say". If I mean what I say, I'll learn to stress the important words and meaningful syllables. In other languages, a nuance adjustment in the sentence can change the sentence whereas in English, a nuance adjustment just changes the stress and intonation.
Concerning choice of words, what really helps is reading. Reading English books enriches the vocabulary directory a lot
Good job, Ben.
I love British accent!!! I appreciate your English lesson🫂I found the best teacher ever😊

Thank you very much 😁🫡
Hi, Benjie. I am from Indonesia, and I just hit the Subscribe button as this video truly intrigued me to do so. For the past few years, I have been constantly torned choosing between British English and American English, which fits me better and which accent should i improve. Because I mainly speak in American accent on my regular basis, but sometimes when i feel more relaxed-I am comfortable enough to speak using British Accent. However one thing i noticed, i have been practicing myself in writing using BE style simply by differentiate the vocab like emphasise, recognise, favour, behaviour.
On and on, from this video I’ve determined myself to master the British Accent because I am planning to continue my study to UK/Scotland next year. Wish me luck, btw!
Just enjoy your own accent. Hone your pronunciation, intonation and stress patterns, by all means. However, unless you are a spy you don't need to "mask" your own accent and identity
I'm knackered for mimicking your pronunciation 😂
😂😂😂😂
Excelent! Thank you😊

Thank you very much! That means the world to me and I really appreciate your support! What types of videos do you like to watch?
@@englishlifewithbenjamin If you get a chance to interact with people from Southern or sub Saharan Africa and get to know our shortfalls as far as speaking English is concerned then that will give you an idea of the types of videos I would love to watch and learn from.
Hii Benjamin, I’m Qadri from Indonesia.
I just want to make my British accent perfectly cuz now my friends always told me that if I speak English my accent looks like British people.
Was very difficult for me at the beginning to be more familier witht the british accent ( Live in South London), but now i am quite confident et happy to FINALLY understand the english channel like BBC. Like their accent even if i still understand easily thes americans when they speak. I am also glad as i studied english at the british council in Rabat-Morocco before moving here in this beautiful country ( i like the weather, i 'am note a sun person yes they exist 🤣haha)
Hahahaha I am definitely a sun person and I am glad you are settling in and starting to understand more and more 😌🙏🏻
Wow yes, I'm into your accent which is RP. Thanks for sharing, Ben! 😊
Ahh great! I’m very happy to hear that! How are you Riska? 😁
Thank you for asking. I'm doing well btw. And, I never stop learning your language since the pandemic. And I'm focusing on the RP accent, although it's not easy 🤭😆
Di Jakarta, saya berusaha keras memperkenalkan RP English kepada para murid saya selama sembilan belas tahun. Tapi, itu sulit sekali.

Hello! I'm from Belgium and I think the British accent sounds cool (that's pretty much it)
After studying English for some years I have to confess that I gave up trying to sound English. I really appreciate your helpful Video but long ago I definitely decided to get my message across rather than trying to sound "Posh English Stuff". Thanks so much for your dedication and Greetings from Spain 👍
@josebenito15 You've made the best decision. Congrats. For instance, I find British accent (particularly RP one) quite awful and hurting my ears deeply.
@@mirrama9866 Thanks. Enjoy your Tuesday and Greetings from Spain 🌟
hey Benjamin. My first language is not English so I have been learning it for all my life. I`ll be so grateful if you tell us how to pronounce all vowel sounds such as ea i: e etc. It`s really hard for my brain and mouth! Ty for this video, it was really helpful ❤
