Thank you. British english is beautifull. I am allways saying to my daughter's to learn the language and the grammar and don't worry much about the pronunciation, but it certainly makes all the diference to have that beautifull accent. It's time to improve, that's why youtube wants to tell me by proposing your video. Thank you so much and lots of love from Lisbon 🥰 💗
actually i like the way you post your vid. because you dont brag how smart you are but teaching us how to be smart like you are. Thank you. You earned my subscribe button.
theres no such thing as a British accent Britain or Great Britain consists of Scotland England and Wales across all three countries I've counted 36 different accents, so therefore they isn't a British accent. just as there isn't an American one.
This is great! I leave now in America, but when I was in Brazil trying to learn English my teacher were a British, so I still pronounce some words with a British intonation. It is easier for Portuguese speaking people. So I thank you very much for your tips. It’s very helpful indeed. 💕
English. Your teacher was English. This British nonsense comes from American misuse of the word British. British and English aren't interchangeable terms.
@@bradavon sorry its just we americans like to say british people because we also speak english so it gets confusing it's not like we don't like british people it's just easier to remember and stuff and easy to understand like when my little sister overhears a person talking from the united kingdom she goes "look a british person!" and she doesn't go "look an english person!" because she's american and doesn't understand and that stuff sorry if this offends u and stuff it's just easier
it's the first video about British accent that actually taught me something, I have ADHD and I get bored easily but I sat through the whole video 'cause your accent is so beautiful, if I sounded like you I'd never shut up.
I am English, but I was so fascinated and charmed by your video that I watched it through to the end; I have some overseas friends and am curious as to how some strive to achieve their English accent, whilst others just hang on to speaking maybe very good English whilst never losing their foreign accent! Thank you- I’m subscribed!
She is a native English speaker, not a foreigner. Once you hear her speaking Chinese, you know it for certain. It's a talent to hear and pronounce a foreign sound accurately - often I find people who can sing accurately (i.e. can hear the subtle differences), can also grasp the accurate sound and pronounce it.
I learned my British accent over my childhood/teenage years by watching Top Gear, so much so that it's nearly as natural to speak in a British accent as it is to speak in my natural Northeastern US accent. Over the years, I've learned how to adapt it to pull off decent Irish, Scottish, Australian, New Zealand, and South African accents as well. I find it so fun to surprise people with them!
That would be something... I have never heard an American pull off a realistic Aussie accent, they always do the 'movie' accent... Same with 'British' (English, welsh, scottish, northern, cockney, southern, west country, scouse, etc etc...) I don't like the term British Accent, there are dozens of them.
@@rimun5235 exactly like no just no people who force it upon themselves r really ashamed to be who they r like embrace it changing ur accent for fun is just embracing its like lying about ur culture and where ur from like why so ashamed
the key to British accents is hanging onto vowels... "awwww" (a large part of whether the condescending tone comes from) or "cUUUUUp" (northern) (a large part of where the uneducated sounding-aspect comes from)
Thank you very for choosing this particular topic! As a teacher of the English language, I’ve learnt and enjoyed your tactful, yet elaborate explanation. I’m sure many of my students will take equal interest as they want to know how to acquire the British accent. Frankly speaking, I’d be all the more happy if they do also try to pick up your inspiring smile! Finally, I’m truly amazed by the fact that you are a medical student! That tells me how much passion and talent you have for being a language instructor. Likewise, I graduated with a BA degree in Mass Com and was at one time a news reporter, but the classroom has kind of ‘gravitated’ me to its ‘orbit’ - and since day one have been spinning and spinning for 25 years now! Keep shining teacher!
Ha ha I bet it did. London, I presume? The fourth most french populated city in the world. Including cities in France. And home to the busiest voting booth in the french accents.
I’m from Wales and I just want to say thank you for teaching me how to speak English. I’m dating a girl from….. England and these tips have really helped. Me pronouncing my Ts or “Tees” really helped with her understanding me. Please share this video with other common folk. We can learn how to speak if we really try.
I'm also in the exact same situation. Welshman dating an English girl. We get by mostly with sign language and writing down things to communicate. Hopefully after watching this we can have a proper conversation for the first time ever. If only I was born in a country where they speak proper English ........
Dear Izzy, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for creating such an outstanding video on speaking with a British accent. As an English language online SuperTutor on Cambly, I have referred countless students to your video and have received an overwhelmingly positive response. It is truly remarkable to see the impact that your video has had on so many language learners who aspire to speak with a British accent. Your clear and concise instructions, coupled with your engaging delivery and charming personality, have made this video a valuable resource for students from all walks of life. I am continually impressed by the depth of knowledge and expertise you bring to the topic of accent acquisition, and I am grateful that you have shared your insights and techniques with the world. Your dedication to helping others achieve their language goals is truly inspiring, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to share your work with my students.
Please don't do this. It's not how English people sound or speak, outside of a small minority. It's not even a British accent. Which is like saying European accent. Which one?
I was born speaking RP English and lived in England till 2012. I have lived in Tennessee USA since then. Trying super hard to keep speaking with modern RP so thanks for your channel.
I don't know why YT recommended this to me, but I'm so glad it did! What a fascinating look into RP English accents, I had no idea these things were categorized so nicely. Subbed!
Your "native'' accent sounds good to me 😊. But when listening to the words "Bottle of water?" The way it was pronounced?! Very funny, even your attempt at pronouncing it as well? 🤪 Can't quite spell correctly the other word "a-n-u-n-c-i-a-t-e?" I know I spelled it wrong, please let me know if I did, thank you.
As someone who´s not from the UK, but learnt the language in a native way, I assure you all that what she said is completely accurate! Especially the vowels and consonants, and the intonation... Practice makes perfect so try to involve in the language as much as you can and don't give up, this takes time, but you're going to aquire the Modern RP Accent
Nobody is "from the UK" for a start, the UKs is not a place it is a political agreement, secondly she was talking about Britain, not the UKs & thirdly, that was English she was speaking with an English accent...
You clearly have a talent in explanation. I started practicing some words with you with my Armenian-American accent and I heard myself sounding closer to the RP accent very quickly. Thank you
I love your video because you give so many examples and its such a nice way to practice along with how you are saying it. it really helps more than most articles or videos!
Am so glad that I bumped into your video, as an Indian, I prefer learning British English, it sounds more sophisticated and poetic. I always felt English is one of the most sweetest language and intrigued me greatly. I speak 4 Indian languages and English is my most favourite language amongst others. You are a wonderful teacher and sound so beautiful ❤🙏💐👌
I always thought that the British accent is the most beautiful and professional sound of English and I try my best to make it. I grew up in a non-English speaking country and I’ve used 2-3 years to speak like a native in US and I did it. Now time for me to learn my favorite English accent. This video is helpful and I like the tips you gave.
I'm not a native English speaker, and I learn how to speak English I took classes which the teachers all spoke in American accent but I myself really into British accent and now after 11 years learning English I decided to learn British accent, Thanks for this perfect video❤️
I am from South Korea. I am very happy that I can hear your speaking clearly. I will watch your videos from now on to improve my English skill. Thank you.
you just got yourself a like, sub, and comment for the algorithm! i'm american and i've secretly wanted an RP accent my entire life! (like every american probably) i imagine every video ab this topic would do well please keep them coming thank you Izzy!
I'm from Bangladesh and i want to thank you for teaching people how to role play with British accent I have referred countless students to your video habe received an overwhelmingly positive response practice makes a man perfect so try to involve in the language as much as you can and never give up
As someone who's a mixed accent (comprising American and British), I guess this video was fascinating and helpful, especially for those who struggle for diphthong O. So thanks for this video; it helped many of my friends who struggle to get a perfect British accent
@@albagubrath9073 so how would you describe the accent of people living in Uk? There is such a thing as an "American" accent or "British" accent. Even though there are many different accents and dialects across America we still name it "American". The same with British.
@@albagubrath9073 You can clearly distinguish people by accents that are quintessentially spoken in certain regions. Besides, the UK is a country and Asia is a continent with a much larger landmass and harbors a variety of countries. Each of them has their own quintessential accent that develops due to the pronunciation and intonation of their language. 🙃
Hi Izzy! Oh my god ,you are so mesmerizing to watch, that I want to learn how to speak with an English accent by watching your videos! I was originally from the Philippines, and have been in the USA for more than 55 years. I hope I could sound like you in the future. So, I subscribed.
I have listened to many people with RP accent in youtube and I noticed that although it's the same accent, but it sounds different with different people. Your accent sounds very natural. Maybe I am going to mirror yours.
Because english has been an international language, I never felt bad with my accent while studying in USA (Kan.). Good pronunciation is the most important thing, because this way others understand what you are saying. As a foreign student in USA, I worked as a journalist for my college's newspaper and I realized that my spelling knowledge was much better than Americans' spelling knowledge. My mother tongue is Greek, and this helped a lot. I never felt bad with my Balkan/Greek accent when speaking english, because even in USA locals have different accents. I have also realized, that some people have a talent in adopting a specific accent of a language. Some persons have been living in USA for only a few months and they have developed an excellent american accent in english. Others have been living in USA for many years, but even though their english is very correct grammatically, theiy cannot adopt an american accent. It is a skill and not a knowledge. Great videos. Really enjoy watching them
Actually I’m a cantonese native speaker from Hong Kong , but my English is not very well. I appreciate with you because your video give me a direction how to pronounce the word correctly and your elegant pronunciation is attractive for me. ❤
Tell you the truth, I'm impressed by your pronunciation. Its so beautiful! Your pronunciation sounds much clearer than BBC New to me. Because of education, my English has both American and British influences, but this video gave me some tips to make pronunciation solo British. I will try T and O from now on. (sixty something Japanese)
I grew up in Wales, and so have a distinctly Welsh accent which I tried to replace with RP during my teenage years. Obviously, I naturally use British terms, and even when I was just starting to learn, I was able to sound far more natural with it than any American would sound many years down the line due to this. I've also noticed it doesn't get mentioned very often, despite its importance, so I'm glad to see someone bringing it up.
Many thanks. Some years ago, I was in a historical society in which I'd worked specifically on a British accent. I was in the American Navy, and it worked so well that in many foreign ports, it was assumed that I was from Great Britain. Thank you for the reminder love.😊
Your voice sounds so soothing and I love your language and accent knowledge :) I was born in NZ to an Irish Father (and lived my childhood in Australia, NZ and Ireland) so have a bit of a mixed accent. I have lived in London the past 14yrs working with many people who have an RP accent. Last time I visited NZ I was told I had a posh English accent! I never noticed it before. Watching your video I realise I pronounce many of my words the way you describe. Especially the diphthong O sound!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🗣️ Focus on word choice and use British versions of words (e.g., "rubbish" instead of "trash"). 02:43 🇬🇧 Pay attention to consonants, enunciate "t" sounds clearly, and avoid glottal stops. 06:48 🗣️ Vowel sounds are crucial; practice the schwa sound, short "o," long "a," and diphthongs. 10:24 🎵 Master the rhythm and intonation by listening to native speakers and mirroring their speech. Made with HARPA AI
I'm not from the UK but I am from Australia, this video was helpful for me to understand why particularly some people in cities in Australia speak the way we do, all I really knew is we have specific classifications for Australian accents like Broad, General and most relevant to this video and therefor this comment, cultivated.
As an advocate of British English, I have to say your tips are all spot on! :) The phonetics are essential when it comes to making sure you sound British (or American, for that matter).
Are you well versed in RP English, Miss? If you don’t mind, will you accompany in verbal chat? For I desire to enhance it further, but there is due lack of accompaniment. Or that which has an excellent tongue for swift elocution in RP. Thank you
@@TheAnish01 It technically is, but you have to understand that no one will understand or even try to understand what you're saying if you use that in any English speaking country. I literally live in the UK and it isn't "Americanism" that's causing the level of peoples English to decline; it's just the decreasing popularity of traditional victorian English as opposed to newer slang. I'll be perfectly honest with you, you wouldn't need to speak like that in any place other than in a very posh debate club.
There are many types of British accent. There are lots of regional types and also accents to do with social class. Some of the "accents" are really dialects, with their own words or even - as in the case of Scots- with it's own words and grammer. So before you learn a British Accent you must pick out which one(s) you want to learn.
It's funny that the rest of the world thinks that Brits sound like this. 😅 It's only southern (England) rich people and med students (in my experience). I hope someone does one for Northerners. Scouse and Yorkshire dialects / accents crack me up. 😂
Thank you a million for this! I had to do a last minute VO session in a British accent and this helped me get my proper bearings together before going in. Very helpful. Thank you!!!
I am English born and bred and when I hear this ladies voice I feel like I should sit up straight and pay attention to her. To many English like me your accent or rather your pronunciation is very important as it makes us think that you are a certain kind of person and as such it can either add to or subtract from our perception of your worth or importance. Its not a very big factor but it is definitely there.
I'm a Turkish lad living in Ireland... my accent is mix of American, Irish, Turkish and British accents. If you're exposed to multiple cultures, your accent becomes a mix. Say hello to globalisation :)
Ben de aynı şeyi düşünüyordum tam biz ne yapacağız diye abi hahahah sence nasıl olmalı peki tek bir aksan mı olmalı yoksa mix iyi midir ve diğer insanların bu konuyla ilgili düşünceleri neler oluyor
As a german speaker this accent is way easier for me to learn than most other dialects, so thank you for your Video! Many of the vowel sounds and endings that are uses exist in german in a slightly different form too. So while I'm swiss and we roll the r where I'm from, commonly you don't pronounce the r and just replace it with an "a" sound. Except if the word starts with the r or there's a wovel after it.
I live in Canada and English is my second language. I learned it mostly by read after TV shows. This means that my car-related vocabulary has a British accent thanks to Top Gear while everything else is Canadian/American XD
I'm from Australia, so the RP British accent is actually fairly easy since my natural one is very similar - as you've put it, there's just a lot of musicality and stress on certain syllables that comes with practice, which is the only thing I'm having trouble with. :') Mirroring definitely helps, and listening to audiobooks on the way to work or while doing household tasks makes it enjoyable. Thank you for this vid!
I find it fascinating how in a word like "water" you share that T with the Americans but the R with the English. But your Os are something else entirely. They almost sound like there's an R in there
theres no such thing as a British accent Britain or Great Britain consists of Scotland England and Wales across all three countries I've counted 36 different accents, so therefore they isn't a British accent. just as there isn't an American one.
@@CrackedConker I'm Aussie and a lot of foreigners mistake me as a Brit. We don't all sound like Steve Irwin you know? Apart from our 'o' and occasionally 'a' sounds, as well as intonation and pronunciation differences with words like 'answer,' 'plant,' 'chance' (unless you're from SA), there's a lot of shared features between the RP British and Aussie (specifically Cultivated Aussie) accent.
Izzy you are doing great job honestly from the time I have started to follow you, my pronunciation has improved dramatically. Thank you for sharing your thoughts,much appreciation from Dubai.
Great job, Izzy! And I think it's important to remember also, building on what you explained about the variety of accents in the south of England, that RP-style accents are also an important marker of a certain socio-economic group and access to particular educational contexts. All the best to you, your content is both enjoyable and informative. 😊
Just say what you mean, it’s an expression of class, and yes British people still think of people in terms of the class system. It’s totally fine to discriminate people based on class - not race, sexuality or gender, obviously, but discrimination on class is totally acceptable.
To be honest, this video covered pretty much everything that I knew about RP (I'm not really an expert 😅). Some people just complicate it so much that people have to think twice before opening their mouth for each word. The most helpful advice would be to just listen to RP more and more.
Really nice guide! Honestly it's also nice to hear someone young speak properly and clearly. Most speak with the "like", "you know" and ending every sentence like its a question which we are so used to from US TV and now by extension, the general populace due to constant exposure. Proper English is such a pleasant thing to the ears.
Hi Izzy, I really loved this video and your tips. British Englosh is the most beautiful language of the world in my opinion. I am Brazilian and when I speak English in my job for example, I try to imitate British accent rather than American. It's really an amazing language.
Hello Izzy, Thank you for teaching British English and how to use in British accent. I love learning British English rather than American English, because English was first originated in England. British English is the perfect native English
thanks Izzy, such a helpful video! very well made too, and you look so natural in front of a camera, well done :) I found the examples and comparisons between UK / US versions of words to be very useful for me
Well done Izzy, great analysis! Other typical British expressions are "bloody", "take the mickey out of someone", "throwing a wobbly", "taking the piss", "fiver", "tenner", "bird", "mug" and "proper" ... and for sure there are many more! Thanks a lot for sharing! Love it! Cheers DimiZ
Thank you for these tips. I have lived in the South of England for 17 years now, and although my accent is not as strong as it used to be, there is still an accent there and, quite quickly, someone will ask me or guess where my accent is from. I find it is easier to mirrow short sentences; talking for a bit longer, it's a different cup of tea.
Thank you soo much Izzy! As someone who recently arrived in UK and English is not my first language, I find it quite hard to even listen to British - not to mention about speaking like British.lol But I won't give up. Your video is truly inspiring. I will keep learning. Thanks again.
@@albagubrath9073 Keep learning. I think that's the only way. If you don't know just ask them, they will be happy to tell. Then after some time, you will eventually get used to it. Keep up👍
Honestly, as an experienced EFL teacher who has lived in very multicultural cities all my life and has observed my own accent and that of others changing over time, i think the best way to adopt any new accent to a natural and native level quickly is to minimise speaking your native language or speaking with ppl from your home. If you're multilingual or regularly speaking with people with a different accent then you hang on to 'artifacts' from that place or way of speaking. All accents are beautiful and i love the diversity among English speakers, so this isn't advice, it's just an observation!
This is the most elegant accent in the world imo. It just flows so smoothly ❤ I would like the Canadian difference instead of US though. Much prefer it.
Just started watching your videos and Ali Abdaal's I plan to become a youtuber soon enough. So yes, I needed tips like that. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate you doing this❤
Since I’ve learnt English as a second foreign language in England back in 2005, I can hardly lose the hints of British accent in my way of speaking, even though every media around me heavily affected by American English. Cheers!
Intonation is such a big part of mastering the accent. Actually makes it quite fun to practise haha. I'm Australian and speak with a rather monotone voice, minimal intonation (think the character Daria). My dad is from London and has quite a strong Cockney influence on his accent, which is really easy to mimic.. I guess because it uses quite an open mouth much like the Aussie accent? When it comes to doing an RP accent, though, I have to really pay attention to my mouth as it uses more of the front portion and is less 'open mouthed'. Also having to pronounce letters/sounds I drop because I've learned certain habits from dad's Cockney ways. If I try to do it without paying attention to intonation, it completely fails too lol. There's such a delicately melodic quality to RP, it's quite hard to do with my usual deadpan facial expression. Great accent to play with if you want to feel more upbeat and cheerful (probably a bit ironic considering the stereotypes made of the English lol). Anyway. Great vid and you've got a beautiful way of speaking. Very elegant :)
I’m an American brought up in Cambridge UK. When I speak American people think it sounds strange. but when I speak British, I don’t sound like I did as a child. I thought I better work on it. Thanks for the help!
I find that the most extreme and hard to master vowel sound in RP is the thought sound. Bought, walk, talk awesome, daughter, etc. This from a Canadian
It’s equally hard going the other way. There is a very subtle and short ’uh’ sound in when Canadians say daughter. In RP it’s entirely absent and replaced with a long and very round ‘O’ sound.
I'm an American, but have always been fascinated by the British accent. After watching this video, I've come to realize that learning to properly speak it is harder than I thought 😊 and I do regularly watch a Podcaster from the UK.
As a Russian, studied British English, I think aspiration of “t” and “p”, “c” is important too. Like in the words “part”, “party”, “cost” etc. You kinda breath out while speaking, omg Idk 😁. And also that splashing “pl” sound, like in the words “plot”, “slot”, “play”. Anyways the video is amazing! Thank you very much!
Thank you Izzy! ❤I’ve been struggling with the diphthong O for a long time and wasn’t quite sure how to pronounce it until I watched this video yesterday. The tips you gave us are so clear and helpful!!l I will keep practicing it. I really admire your accent. I was wondering if your parents both speak in this accent? I wish my little baby girl, who’s only 1and a half years old, can speak English like you. Btw I am a native Chinese but also an English teacher here in China!
As someone who is learning to speak with an RP English accent, this was a great video. And I must say, with UTMOST respect, you are stunningly beautiful.
I very appreciate that you made this video about british accent. It's very clarifying for us that we're learning your language. Greetings from Argentina.
Yes, it's like listening to Nigella Lawson. I'm not a chef, but I could listen to her all day long. British RP to me is correct (growing up in Australia watching the BBC), requires effort to correctly enunciate (speaker is not lazy), and sapiosexual.
I’m back here. This was the first video of yours I watched. After watching this, I started watching your videos. Now, this channel has become one of my favourite TH-cam channels 😍. I watch your videos and learn so many things. The contents of your videos are meaningful, insightful, joyful, energetic, and inspiring. I love your videos on Chinese language study strategies so much. A motivation to learn Chinese 😍. You always share what you truly experience and when you share your options, thoughts and ideas your genuineness and authenticity are perfectly reflected. (I noticed it even in your Q&A episodes, and your meditation practice experience episodes). Such a great person you are. 💯 💐💐💐 Please keep it up. Thank you so much dear Izzy 🤩. With best wishes from Norway.👏💐👌💯🙏🤩
I'm an indian ,as you know we come from long colonial British past My grandfather's accent is 90% similar to British accent . It proved beneficial for me and hadn't faced much difficulty in learning British accent 🙃
Great video! The thing that confuses me about the non-rhotic accent is how the "R" gets dropped from most words, but then sometimes it mysteriously appears where there isn't one, so "We went to Geneva after that" becomes "We went to Genev-er after that."
yea i dont understand this either. this is the hardest part of learning RP English for me. i have no idea when, where, or why this hard "er" occurs. Maybe its not even part of RP English? like its some other branch or something
In the plethora of people who are over-confident about their (often questionable) English skills, and who even believe they can teach you some, you're truly a breath of fresh air ☺️

I really like her accent, it's easy to catch all words, not to fast not too slow.
I’m from Wales and I just want to say thank you for teaching me how to speak English. I’m dating a girl from….. England and these tips have really helped. Me pronouncing my Ts or “Tees” really helped with her understanding me. Please share this video with other common folk. We can learn how to speak if we really try.
I'm also in the exact same situation. Welshman dating an English girl. We get by mostly with sign language and writing down things to communicate. Hopefully after watching this we can have a proper conversation for the first time ever. If only I was born in a country where they speak proper English

Dear Izzy,
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for creating such an outstanding video on speaking with a British accent. As an English language online SuperTutor on Cambly, I have referred countless students to your video and have received an overwhelmingly positive response.
It is truly remarkable to see the impact that your video has had on so many language learners who aspire to speak with a British accent. Your clear and concise instructions, coupled with your engaging delivery and charming personality, have made this video a valuable resource for students from all walks of life.
I am continually impressed by the depth of knowledge and expertise you bring to the topic of accent acquisition, and I am grateful that you have shared your insights and techniques with the world. Your dedication to helping others achieve their language goals is truly inspiring, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to share your work with my students.
❤️
Please don't do this. It's not how English people sound or speak, outside of a small minority. It's not even a British accent. Which is like saying European accent. Which one?

I do appreciate your clear comments on how the British speak differently. It helps me a lot.
I was born speaking RP English and lived in England till 2012. I have lived in Tennessee USA since then. Trying super hard to keep speaking with modern RP so thanks for your channel.
I don't know why YT recommended this to me, but I'm so glad it did! What a fascinating look into RP English accents, I had no idea these things were categorized so nicely. Subbed!
“Dr.” Izzy, it’s always informative & fun to watch your YT channel! Awesome! I find myself repeating the lessons enthusiastically!
Awh so glad you enjoy them! 🙏
Your "native'' accent sounds good to me 😊. But when listening to the words "Bottle of water?"
The way it was pronounced?!
Very funny, even your attempt at pronouncing it as well? 🤪
Can't quite spell correctly the other word "a-n-u-n-c-i-a-t-e?"

As someone who´s not from the UK, but learnt the language in a native way, I assure you all that what she said is completely accurate! Especially the vowels and consonants, and the intonation... Practice makes perfect so try to involve in the language as much as you can and don't give up, this takes time, but you're going to aquire the Modern RP Accent
Good comment 🤗
Ok
Nobody is "from the UK" for a start, the UKs is not a place it is a political agreement, secondly she was talking about Britain, not the UKs & thirdly, that was English she was speaking with an English accent...
Yes need an environment to be able to practice the ponmy accent.

Am so glad that I bumped into your video, as an Indian, I prefer learning British English, it sounds more sophisticated and poetic. I always felt English is one of the most sweetest language and intrigued me greatly. I speak 4 Indian languages and English is my most favourite language amongst others. You are a wonderful teacher and sound so beautiful ❤🙏💐👌
Hi baby will be my friend
I always thought that the British accent is the most beautiful and professional sound of English and I try my best to make it. I grew up in a non-English speaking country and I’ve used 2-3 years to speak like a native in US and I did it. Now time for me to learn my favorite English accent. This video is helpful and I like the tips you gave.
So happy you've found the video helpful!! ❤ :)

I'm not a native English speaker, and I learn how to speak English I took classes which the teachers all spoke in American accent but I myself really into British accent and now after 11 years learning English I decided to learn British accent, Thanks for this perfect video❤️
I am from South Korea. I am very happy that I can hear your speaking clearly. I will watch your videos from now on to improve my English skill. Thank you.

As someone who's a mixed accent (comprising American and British), I guess this video was fascinating and helpful, especially for those who struggle for diphthong O. So thanks for this video; it helped many of my friends who struggle to get a perfect British accent
Try harder, there is no such thing as a British accent, that's like saying someone has an Asian accent!
@@albagubrath9073 so how would you describe the accent of people living in Uk? There is such a thing as an "American" accent or "British" accent. Even though there are many different accents and dialects across America we still name it "American". The same with British.
@@albagubrath9073 You can clearly distinguish people by accents that are quintessentially spoken in certain regions. Besides, the UK is a country and Asia is a continent with a much larger landmass and harbors a variety of countries. Each of them has their own quintessential accent that develops due to the pronunciation and intonation of their language. 🙃
@@albagubrath9073British accent is a thing. Which area? Asian accent is a thing. Which country? What region?
Hi Izzy! Oh my god ,you are so mesmerizing to watch, that I want to learn how to speak with an English accent by watching your videos! I was originally from the Philippines, and have been in the USA for more than 55 years. I hope I could sound like you in the future. So, I subscribed.
yes she is soo prettyyy
I have listened to many people with RP accent in youtube and I noticed that although it's the same accent, but it sounds different with different people. Your accent sounds very natural. Maybe I am going to mirror yours.
Omg, I'm obsessed with your accent 😍😍
Because english has been an international language, I never felt bad with my accent while studying in USA (Kan.). Good pronunciation is the most important thing, because this way others understand what you are saying.
As a foreign student in USA, I worked as a journalist for my college's newspaper and I realized that my spelling knowledge was much better than Americans' spelling knowledge.
My mother tongue is Greek, and this helped a lot. I never felt bad with my Balkan/Greek accent when speaking english, because even in USA locals have different accents.
I have also realized, that some people have a talent in adopting a specific accent of a language. Some persons have been living in USA for only a few months and they have developed an excellent american accent in english. Others have been living in USA for many years, but even though their english is very correct grammatically, theiy cannot adopt an american accent. It is a skill and not a knowledge.
Great videos. Really enjoy watching them
Arnold Schwarzenegger comes to mind
Actually I’m a cantonese native speaker from Hong Kong , but my English is not very well. I appreciate with you because your video give me a direction how to pronounce the word correctly and your elegant pronunciation is attractive for me. ❤
Tell you the truth, I'm impressed by your pronunciation. Its so beautiful! Your pronunciation sounds much clearer than BBC New to me. Because of education, my English has both American and British influences, but this video gave me some tips to make pronunciation solo British. I will try T and O from now on. (sixty something Japanese)
I grew up in Wales, and so have a distinctly Welsh accent which I tried to replace with RP during my teenage years. Obviously, I naturally use British terms, and even when I was just starting to learn, I was able to sound far more natural with it than any American would sound many years down the line due to this. I've also noticed it doesn't get mentioned very often, despite its importance, so I'm glad to see someone bringing it up.
Many thanks. Some years ago, I was in a historical society in which I'd worked specifically on a British accent. I was in the American Navy, and it worked so well that in many foreign ports, it was assumed that I was from Great Britain. Thank you for the reminder love.😊
Your voice sounds so soothing and I love your language and accent knowledge :) I was born in NZ to an Irish Father (and lived my childhood in Australia, NZ and Ireland) so have a bit of a mixed accent. I have lived in London the past 14yrs working with many people who have an RP accent. Last time I visited NZ I was told I had a posh English accent! I never noticed it before. Watching your video I realise I pronounce many of my words the way you describe. Especially the diphthong O sound!
Thank you, "Dr." Sealey. I am a soon-to-be PhD Candidate in the UK, and I am originally from Canada. This is helping quite a bit
What are the “quotes” for?
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🗣️ Focus on word choice and use British versions of words (e.g., "rubbish" instead of "trash").
02:43 🇬🇧 Pay attention to consonants, enunciate "t" sounds clearly, and avoid glottal stops.
06:48 🗣️ Vowel sounds are crucial; practice the schwa sound, short "o," long "a," and diphthongs.
10:24 🎵 Master the rhythm and intonation by listening to native speakers and mirroring their speech.

I'm not from the UK but I am from Australia, this video was helpful for me to understand why particularly some people in cities in Australia speak the way we do, all I really knew is we have specific classifications for Australian accents like Broad, General and most relevant to this video and therefor this comment, cultivated.
As an advocate of British English, I have to say your tips are all spot on! :) The phonetics are essential when it comes to making sure you sound British (or American, for that matter).
Are you well versed in RP English, Miss? If you don’t mind, will you accompany in verbal chat? For I desire to enhance it further, but there is due lack of accompaniment. Or that which has an excellent tongue for swift elocution in RP. Thank you
Oh ffs you teach ignorance too?! NOBODY sounds British, the countries don't even have the same language!!
@@TheAnish01 I really hope you don't actually use that sort of phrasing in real life...
@@shaaravguha3760 Is it not proper English. The internet is full of Americanisms.. they speak not in English yet calling it as English.
@@TheAnish01 It technically is, but you have to understand that no one will understand or even try to understand what you're saying if you use that in any English speaking country.
I literally live in the UK and it isn't "Americanism" that's causing the level of peoples English to decline; it's just the decreasing popularity of traditional victorian English as opposed to newer slang.
I'll be perfectly honest with you, you wouldn't need to speak like that in any place other than in a very posh debate club.
There are many types of British accent. There are lots of regional types and also accents to do with social class. Some of the "accents" are really dialects, with their own words or even - as in the case of Scots- with it's own words and grammer. So before you learn a British Accent you must pick out which one(s) you want to learn.
It's funny that the rest of the world thinks that Brits sound like this. 😅
It's only southern (England) rich people and med students (in my experience).
I hope someone does one for Northerners. Scouse and Yorkshire dialects / accents crack me up. 😂
Spot on.
As an American with a strong regional accent, I wouldn't be caught dead talking like this.
Give me a British working class accent anyday.
What a fabulous video! You have explained everything so effortlessly with so much ease and fun.
When you mix American accent and British accent it's 👌
Thank you a million for this! I had to do a last minute VO session in a British accent and this helped me get my proper bearings together before going in. Very helpful. Thank you!!!
Ahh I’m so happy to hear it helped!!! I hope the VO session went really well 🥰
Which British language did you speak?
I am English born and bred and when I hear this ladies voice I feel like I should sit up straight and pay attention to her. To many English like me your accent or rather your pronunciation is very important as it makes us think that you are a certain kind of person and as such it can either add to or subtract from our perception of your worth or importance. Its not a very big factor but it is definitely there.
Arguably, this is the clearest explanation of the British accent I've seen so far. Thank you Izzy!
I'm a Turkish lad living in Ireland... my accent is mix of American, Irish, Turkish and British accents. If you're exposed to multiple cultures, your accent becomes a mix. Say hello to globalisation :)
Ah I love that!! :)
Globalisation is just a piece of sh…..T!

Lol i am a Cypriot Bulgarian and English and my whole life i have been made fun of that i cant speak a single language without mixing my accents 😂
Ben de aynı şeyi düşünüyordum tam biz ne yapacağız diye abi hahahah sence nasıl olmalı peki tek bir aksan mı olmalı yoksa mix iyi midir ve diğer insanların bu konuyla ilgili düşünceleri neler oluyor
As a german speaker this accent is way easier for me to learn than most other dialects, so thank you for your Video! Many of the vowel sounds and endings that are uses exist in german in a slightly different form too. So while I'm swiss and we roll the r where I'm from, commonly you don't pronounce the r and just replace it with an "a" sound. Except if the word starts with the r or there's a wovel after it.
I live in Canada and English is my second language. I learned it mostly by read after TV shows. This means that my car-related vocabulary has a British accent thanks to Top Gear while everything else is Canadian/American XD
Oh, this is just a pure pleasure to look at you and to listen to the way you speak English. Thanks for sharing the tips
I'm from Australia, so the RP British accent is actually fairly easy since my natural one is very similar - as you've put it, there's just a lot of musicality and stress on certain syllables that comes with practice, which is the only thing I'm having trouble with. :') Mirroring definitely helps, and listening to audiobooks on the way to work or while doing household tasks makes it enjoyable. Thank you for this vid!
@@CrackedConker you do realise not every aussie sounds like the over-exaggerated bogan from movies, right? lmao
I find it fascinating how in a word like "water" you share that T with the Americans but the R with the English. But your Os are something else entirely. They almost sound like there's an R in there
theres no such thing as a British accent Britain or Great Britain consists of Scotland England and Wales across all three countries I've counted 36 different accents, so therefore they isn't a British accent. just as there isn't an American one.
@@Masked_One_1316 they said *RP* British accent. That's a thing..
Also any accent in Great Britain is "a British accent".
@@CrackedConker I'm Aussie and a lot of foreigners mistake me as a Brit. We don't all sound like Steve Irwin you know? Apart from our 'o' and occasionally 'a' sounds, as well as intonation and pronunciation differences with words like 'answer,' 'plant,' 'chance' (unless you're from SA), there's a lot of shared features between the RP British and Aussie (specifically Cultivated Aussie) accent.
Izzy you are doing great job honestly from the time I have started to follow you, my pronunciation has improved dramatically. Thank you for sharing your thoughts,much appreciation from Dubai.
Great job, Izzy! And I think it's important to remember also, building on what you explained about the variety of accents in the south of England, that RP-style accents are also an important marker of a certain socio-economic group and access to particular educational contexts. All the best to you, your content is both enjoyable and informative. 😊
Just say what you mean, it’s an expression of class, and yes British people still think of people in terms of the class system. It’s totally fine to discriminate people based on class - not race, sexuality or gender, obviously, but discrimination on class is totally acceptable.
In love with your British accent and your lovely smile while I am learning. I’m speaking American English by the way ❤
To be honest, this video covered pretty much everything that I knew about RP (I'm not really an expert 😅). Some people just complicate it so much that people have to think twice before opening their mouth for each word. The most helpful advice would be to just listen to RP more and more.
Really nice guide! Honestly it's also nice to hear someone young speak properly and clearly. Most speak with the "like", "you know" and ending every sentence like its a question which we are so used to from US TV and now by extension, the general populace due to constant exposure. Proper English is such a pleasant thing to the ears.
Hi Izzy,
I really loved this video and your tips. British Englosh is the most beautiful language of the world in my opinion. I am Brazilian and when I speak English in my job for example, I try to imitate British accent rather than American. It's really an amazing language.
This is the best and most comprehensive RP accent video I've watched. Thank you, Izzy. If you ever make a RP pronunciation course, I will buy it!
Hello Izzy, Thank you for teaching British English and how to use in British accent. I love learning British English rather than American English, because English was first originated in England. British English is the perfect native English
thanks Izzy, such a helpful video! very well made too, and you look so natural in front of a camera, well done :) I found the examples and comparisons between UK / US versions of words to be very useful for me
Well done Izzy, great analysis! Other typical British expressions are "bloody", "take the mickey out of someone", "throwing a wobbly", "taking the piss", "fiver", "tenner", "bird", "mug" and "proper" ... and for sure there are many more! Thanks a lot for sharing! Love it! Cheers DimiZ

I have lived in the South of England for 17 years now, and although my accent is not as strong as it used to be, there is still an accent there and, quite quickly, someone will ask me or guess where my accent is from.
I find it is easier to mirrow short sentences; talking for a bit longer, it's a different cup of tea.

@@IzzySealey really a very nice, genuine & ever memorable, great motivational feedback.
Honestly, as an experienced EFL teacher who has lived in very multicultural cities all my life and has observed my own accent and that of others changing over time, i think the best way to adopt any new accent to a natural and native level quickly is to minimise speaking your native language or speaking with ppl from your home. If you're multilingual or regularly speaking with people with a different accent then you hang on to 'artifacts' from that place or way of speaking. All accents are beautiful and i love the diversity among English speakers, so this isn't advice, it's just an observation!

BING CHILLING
Since I’ve learnt English as a second foreign language in England back in 2005, I can hardly lose the hints of British accent in my way of speaking, even though every media around me heavily affected by American English. Cheers!
Intonation is such a big part of mastering the accent. Actually makes it quite fun to practise haha. I'm Australian and speak with a rather monotone voice, minimal intonation (think the character Daria).
My dad is from London and has quite a strong Cockney influence on his accent, which is really easy to mimic.. I guess because it uses quite an open mouth much like the Aussie accent? When it comes to doing an RP accent, though, I have to really pay attention to my mouth as it uses more of the front portion and is less 'open mouthed'. Also having to pronounce letters/sounds I drop because I've learned certain habits from dad's Cockney ways.
If I try to do it without paying attention to intonation, it completely fails too lol. There's such a delicately melodic quality to RP, it's quite hard to do with my usual deadpan facial expression. Great accent to play with if you want to feel more upbeat and cheerful (probably a bit ironic considering the stereotypes made of the English lol).
Anyway. Great vid and you've got a beautiful way of speaking. Very elegant :)
I’m an American brought up in Cambridge UK. When I speak American people think it sounds strange. but when I speak British, I don’t sound like I did as a child. I thought I better work on it. Thanks for the help!

Whoa Ali in your comment section ! Big flex
Yo is my guy simping? 🤌
I find that the most extreme and hard to master vowel sound in RP is the thought sound. Bought, walk, talk awesome, daughter, etc. This from a Canadian
Bro I'm American and I agree. It's like ought minus the T or something, it feels hard to pull off.
It’s equally hard going the other way. There is a very subtle and short ’uh’ sound in when Canadians say daughter. In RP it’s entirely absent and replaced with a long and very round ‘O’ sound.
Your voice is so beautiful, I could listen to your British accent all day

Hi baby will be my friend
As a Russian, studied British English, I think aspiration of “t” and “p”, “c” is important too. Like in the words “part”, “party”, “cost” etc. You kinda breath out while speaking, omg Idk 😁. And also that splashing “pl” sound, like in the words “plot”, “slot”, “play”.
Anyways the video is amazing! Thank you very much!
This is the same with American
Thank you Izzy! ❤I’ve been struggling with the diphthong O for a long time and wasn’t quite sure how to pronounce it until I watched this video yesterday. The tips you gave us are so clear and helpful!!l I will keep practicing it. I really admire your accent. I was wondering if your parents both speak in this accent? I wish my little baby girl, who’s only 1and a half years old, can speak English like you. Btw I am a native Chinese but also an English teacher here in China!
As someone who is learning to speak with an RP English accent, this was a great video. And I must say, with UTMOST respect, you are stunningly beautiful.

Wow I never been focus like this for even 11 minutes straight. Thanks Izzy, I wish I could do like you do.
There are a lot of SOs inside of your RP accent. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great video! The thing that confuses me about the non-rhotic accent is how the "R" gets dropped from most words, but then sometimes it mysteriously appears where there isn't one, so "We went to Geneva after that" becomes "We went to Genev-er after that."
yea i dont understand this either. this is the hardest part of learning RP English for me. i have no idea when, where, or why this hard "er" occurs. Maybe its not even part of RP English? like its some other branch or something
It's just a habit rather than being a part of "The RP accent" at all. Dr Geoff Lindsay has a video on this.
In the plethora of people who are over-confident about their (often questionable) English skills, and who even believe they can teach you some, you're truly a breath of fresh air ☺️
