  • Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.
    In this British English pronunciation lesson, I teach you the rules of the intrusive /r/ and the linking /r/ in connected speech. It's a difficult one, but it will really help you with both your listening skills and speaking skills.

      Thanks for the video Eliot! Question: some British people have a very particular 'r sound', with a lot of tongue against their teeth. Is this any specific kind of accent and when/how do they use it? Thanks!

    I like how every time you give an example of linking-R, you say "for example", which contains linking-R.

    How to speak in cursive. I'm not a native English speaker. But i speak it almost perfect, I've lived for 6 years in the US and when watching Sherlock Holmes and lots of people on the internet I noticed that they add r in certain words. Most notably "drawring" and "sawr", it really jumped out to me, thanks for the great explanation.

    I've been thinking about it, and then it hit my mind like a rock:
    If you know a little bit of American accent, you can learn the linking R easier.
    It makes sense.
    But please correct me if I'm wrong

    I know, I know, I was wondering about that one! First time I heard the intrusive 'r' was when Sting at his concert in Berlin was introducing one of his songs: "The next song [r] is about..." That sounded super-strange to me but now I get what it was! Yay! Thanks!

    • @ETJEnglish
      @ETJEnglish  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s not actually the correct situation to do the intrusive /r/. In this situation, most native speakers would connect the final consonant from ‘song’ to ‘is’ . There is no reason to use the /r/ here. I just thought I’d tell you, so you don’t get it wrong in the future

    • @irinaokhapkina1220
      @irinaokhapkina1220 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Right? It doesn't even sound natural between 'ŋ' and 'is', and I wasn't going to use it there, but thanks for pointing that out! I guess Sting being Sting... he can put an 'r' wherever the heck he likes and be cool about it)
      I'm also not a native speaker and surrounded by Americans anyway so my using of intrusive 'r' may let them think that I'm showing off. But perhaps every language has something that only native speakers can take advantage of)))

    Thanks a lot for this video. I remember when I was working in a hotel, I used to ask some British guests about how they pronounce the phrase "I saw it" and it was hilarious the way they realise they actually inserted and R sound between "saw" and "it". Currently, when I want to say this phrase I tend to say "I saw (r) it" /ɑɪ sɔːr ɪt/
