It's interesting that despite having British schooling and my vocabulary and spelling being both British, my accent is mostly American (about 80% American, 20% British). I really underestimated how watching Cartoon Network, Disney... etc (and playing US video games), helped my English learning. I thought it was just something entertaining, not something that will impact my accent later on. The more you know...

+Anglo-Link Thank you :-) Could you please rate my accent? I have never had the opinion from a native speaker regarding my pronunciation. I only talk to people who speak it as second language. I guess I have some traces of my native language. There's a recording of my voice here: vocaroo.com/i/s1n6MIEaarJT And this is the text I read in the recording: Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.

I was asked in London whether I was American, which kindof made me sad at first, then they thought I was German. I'm Dutch, so German came closer. I notice I usually start the sentence (or words) with the English accent and then end them with a weird mixture between American and Dutch accents. Whenever I get really tired, the accent becomes "flat"-Amsterdam, which is awful. I live next to Amsterdam.

This is fascinating. I was surprised to learn how many of the words are pronounced in the English pronunciation in the Northeast U.S., where I live.

With over 5000 comments, I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but not all Americans are rhotic (pronounce the "r") and not all Britons are non-rhotic. In America, speakers in Rhode Island and Boston, and north into New Hampshire and Maine are non-rhotic. Many Americans on the Atlantic coast from southeastern New Jersey to Savannah, Georgia are non-rhotic, as are people in southern Alabama. Britons in Scotland, and in the entire southwest of England and southern Wales, are also rhotic and pronounce the "r".

The American pronunciation of "either" is interesting to me. I find many Americans saying either of the pronunciations depending on the context. For example, if "either" is in the middle of the sentence, you'll hear a lot of them say [ai]ther(eye-ther) yet if it's at the end of the sentence, you'll hear [i]ther(ee-ther). And even more interesting is when there is an "ee" sounding vowel right before the word, you'll hear Americans almost always say [ai]ther. Haha for example: "That doesn't bother me /eye/ther."

Also, in the U.S the American and British pronunciation of "either" and "neither" are interchangeable.

Consecuences: Nobody undertand me when I go to US, if you come to my country, you´ll find the same differences. It is a kind of iddentity!

The area I grew up in in the US, (Middle East Coast) those who were raised closer to the city drop letters or slur letters together. But, many of us raised just outside the city limits in the suburbs do not. The US is so massive that we have an insane amount of different accents and local slang, much like having 50 different countries under one roof.

Thank you very much. My primary language is Arabic and I have been learning English since 2003. Right now I am a student at an American university and my accent in mixed between American English and British English since the British accent is close to Arabic accent.

However, I am still learning and I am sure that I will be doing great soon! Thanks again :)

Address is a tricky word in American English (as a good many of them are). With the emphasis on the first syllable, it is usually used for the word meaning the location where a person lives. When the emphasis is on the second syllable, it usually refers to the noun or verb associated with conversing with someone (e.g. presenting a speech, or the speech itself). You'll be hard pressed to find anyone who pronounces this use of the word differently. So, if I was asking where you live, I would ask for your *a*ddress. But if I was referring to the speech, I would say the Gettysburg A*ddress*. That being said, I've heard many people pronounce both uses of the word the British way, with the emphasis on the second syllable.

E R.A. Actually, 'American' is the correct demonym for a US citizen. This also extends to other words, like 'American English'. Although 'America' is not the correct word for the US, it's used so widely it can almost be called 'correct'.

E R.A. America is not a continent. The continent is called Americas and consists of North and South America. And as I said, referring to something from the US with the term 'American' is actually correct. It's hard to say I'm a ' USian citizen. 'American' would be the correct term. And referring to different kinds of Spanish like you're saying is correct too. The forms of Spanish spoken in Mexico (accent, dialect, etc.) can indeed be called 'Mexican Spanish', for example. If you try selecting a language for a computer program you will see there are multiple options for a lot of languages (e.g. en-US and en-UK, or nl-NL and nl-BE). Also, I don't really understand why you capitalize certain words, but I guess that's just me.

E R.A. MoviesDProduction's actually right to say that the correct demonym or nationality for the people living in the USA is 'American'. And as you said that since you are a Colombian, you're also an American, I would have to say no. You're a 'Latin American' not an 'American', there's a difference between the two.

I've heard American and British pp say "adult" in both ways, so I went to the Oxford dictionary and it gives both pronunciations to both accents. I guess it depends on what part of the country you're from.

Great topic to discuss, dear teachers. Thank you so much🙏

This video would be accurate if everyone spoke like these ladies but realistically language and pronounciation between the two countries varies as greatly as the amount of amount of accents in both. For example, in some places in the U.S. the 'R' is under-emphasised, whereas in other areas the 'R' is over-emphasised.

It's weird when you're learning English as a foreign language. In Germany, my highschool only taught British English. (Up until 11th grade I believe when we were allowed to chose one but weren't allowed to mix them.) But all famous movies and songs obviously feature American English. Or maybe it was just my teacher.

That's interesting, I never thought of that, and recently I met an old Penpal of mine from Poland and it was quite obvious she had learned all of her English pronunciation from British English teachings, but whenever we wrote over the years I imagined her just speaking my English with a Polish accent. Funny how that all works.

I guess I'm not American. lol. I tend to hit most syllables with clarity when I speak. I apparently use a number of British English words when I speak as well. I must confuse the bloody hell out of people. lol

Reginald Finley I apparently use a lot of American-isms for an English girl. Like Brits say neither both way depending on the context eg. 'That is NEITHER (ni-ther) here nor there', 'Me Neither (nee-ther). I've never heard anyone in the north west of England say 'Ad-Ver-Tis-Ment' and not 'Ad-Ver-Tise-Ment', or 'Con-trov-er-sy' and not ''con-tra-ver-sey'. I've heard Hurricane and Either both ways.

I enjoyed watching this video and I appreciate the work that is being done. I would suggest that, just as in British English, there are geographical, social and educational factors which heavily influence American English pronunciation. The higher the education level and social standing of the speaker, the more likely they are to have a mid-Atlantic speech pattern and pronunciation. Perhaps, when introducing speakers and instructors, it might be helpful to include where they are from and what their education level is. A person from the American Northwest who is a high school graduate may sound very different from a PhD from the American South. An individual from Yorkshire with a university degree might sound differently that someone from the working class in Essex.

A very fair point indeed. However, as this lesson is aimed at learners of the English language, we have had to limit the accents we present to the most standard dictionary version of the pronunciation.

You should do a video on British slang that is used on an everyday basis.

Great video, if you just speak English / American English and do not think about it you do not have any problems, but this video illustrates the tiny differences and that some words are pronounced in a different way. The trick is to find out what words you are pronouncing the wrong way and try to learn the correct way to say it. So you do not speak mixed language, but this is hard for people who learns the language as a second language. That said, to make it even more confusing, with some words like "either" there is no clear difference in how you pronounce them depending on where you are. But other words like "schedule" the difference is more clear when people use the word. And lets not forget, the most important part is to learn how to speak English, understand it and being able to use it. Than to get stuck words, this is something you can correct later anyway.
