    As an American, I got stationed in the UK from 93 to 96. When I got there, I thought I needed a translator. In time, I got used to the accent and slang. A buddy of mine had a cousin that lived in Cheshire near Warrington. We used to travel up there on many occasions. We crawled the pubs of Warrington & Liverpool. Good times!
    Later, I was back home in the States going to University. After a few drinks, I was putting on a Scouse accent and sai I was from Liverpool. I was quite pissed, so I doubt they believed me.

    In the 19th century, Americans in these cities also pronounced their Rs, until they became influenced by the changing accents of England in the early 20th century.

      @paranoidrodent 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@kathyfugere6085 The h-dropping isn't terribly surprising given that h is generally a silent and even an "h aspiré" in French is very subtle compared to a fully sounded English h. It is a linguistically alien sound, like TH's, English R's and some of the vowel sounds are. It isn't that we can't full aspirate an h when thinking about it consciously but rather that it doesn't come naturally without a lot of immersion or practice and it gets dropped out of sheer linguistic habit.
      The occasional adding of a distinct h sound to words that don't start in h but rather with a vowel is the bit that confuses me (and most of my family with thicker accents tend to do it now and then).
      Fun fact: one of the most horrible words to master in French or English, for a speaker of the other language, is horror/horreur. The h, the R's and the incompatible vowel sounds... as my friend Julie used to say, "J'ai horreur de horror!"

    Once I started communicating with native english speakers, apart from other things (partially lightened in this video) I was also very surprised to hear them pronounced the sound /t/ in words like 'restauranT' and 'ofTen' - while here in Russia they teach you to NEVER pronounce those, you could literally get an F for that!
    Just my 2 cents. The video is awesome, looking forward to seeing the next part.

      Most Brits pronounce those Ts with a glottal stop rather than a standard T sound

    Sometimes I wonder why I can understant better people from Africa than people from England, if they don't use RP, Queen's and BBC pronounciation.

    First completed video about English English pronunciation and UK accents I've ever seen. A wider framework than other resources, I think the starting point to know English pronunciation in UK variation, so helpful video for a beginner student who wants to perfect his pronunciation and know more about England and English! I'm impatiently waiting for the next part :-( 👋👋 IT flag :-)

    I am sad that I (too late)found out this Luke's videos a few months ago. Your explanations are detailed. I find your, gill's, map men very informative. Only when we hear the structure and origin of words, than we can understand those words we hear for the first time.
    Regarding Ame English. I think that Rachel is the best.
    Australian English Mmm.
    The main problem with words is spelling and pronounciation. So many words that sound 'almost' the same, but have diff. meaning.

    Really helpful video. I went to school in SW Britain in the 70's and stayed on in various places in the SE for over two decades but never heard the g in ng, with the exception of the Singer brand sewing machine. Glottal stop with t was often heard.
    The host articulates individual words very clearly, more than the average speaker and certainly the people in his examples. I finf William and Harry quite hard to follow, despite the fact that they and the host speak SSBE.
    It's interesting to be told that these are normal variations whereas in Asia deviations from the proper pronunciation would be discouraged and even corrected.
    I also notice that the host says 'pronunciation' with the 'nun' somewhat like 'nung' (as in hung) rather than 'nun' (as in pun), this seems to be common.

    H-dropping is by far the pronounciation feature that creates most of the difficulty in understanding native speakers, in my opinion.
