    🎯 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.

    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!

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.

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.

    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 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.

    @@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.

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. 🙃

Proper English is such a pleasant thing to the ears.
