    I'm a 12-year-old girl from Myanmar(Burma). I'm the only one who's really interested in British English and has a silly accent in my class. Some of my friends think that i can never speak English fluently. That hurts me. But when i saw your videos, i just realized that i could try My Best to speak fluent English. Thank you for teaching and sharing us. Sir.

    @Athkia Ibnath Many thanks and yes, i often watch harry potter and other brit movies in order to improve my british english and it's working but for my speaking skill, i have to talk with random ppl in discord vcs. Also, you're absolutely correct. Lots of ppl seem to have taken an interest in British english cos of this channel. I mean, he's a wonderful teacher so ofc it's no surprise and his accent is extremely clear to understand. Btw, sorry for replying after a year, i hope everything's going well for you

    Yes, it is possible to change your accent even though you're fluent! I have always been speaking with an American accent (the one that we learn in my french school). But these summer holidays, I started meeting loads of british people, and one day I said to myself that I absolutely had to get my accent to sound like theirs. And because I spent so much time with british people, I managed to learn the basics of the accent in one week! Obviously it wasn't perfect after one week but now I go on videos like these from here and there to perfect it, especially videos from ETJ! Thank you for everything Eliott, you're the best teacher ever!
