❤️ Today’s video is something a bit different - a chilled out chat with my friend Nathaniel Drew where we try to get him speaking with a British accent (Modern RP). We filmed a whole other half over on Nathaniel’s Second Channel @nobackupplan so please do check that out! This was SO much fun to make, hope you enjoy watching!

Who would’ve thought learning English would be the hardest language for a native English speaker to learn
Her smile really is contagious wow
So one day one random dude was like “I wanna have a posh accent”… and thus the Australian accent was born

Unless it’s for an acting project would an American want to sound British?

@@JourneyDestination British accents are quite liked in America. More-so than any other English accent as far as I'm aware. And in most countries where English is not the mother tongue, they prefer the American accent because it's easy to understand and not too strong or difficult to pronounce.

Erm no. She needs to go home to her asian country and stay there and stop embarrassing herself thinking she is English. When she isn’t!
Hahaha, very entertaining! Your smile and laugh brightens up my day! Thank you, Izzy!
I also detected a lot of French influence in his attempts at speaking with a British accent. Izza on the other hand is really sweet. I think I like her.😍
Breaking down the conversation as you go is amazing. I loved !
Very fun episode. Enjoyed it! Infectious laughter Izzy 😂
Izzy, you're so smart and charming. Thanks for doing this.
Izzy your smile has made my day easy 🥰
My two favourite youtubers!! I'll show this to my students (I teach English)
This was so fun. Especially when you guys were laughing, it made me laugh too.
Your smile is so contagious! Whenever I watch your videos, I can't help but laugh along with you. It's like your smile has this magical power to spread happiness. It's amazing how a simple smile can connect people and bring so much joy. So, keep smiling and spreading that infectious laughter because it truly brightens up my day! :)
lovely to see you both in a video 💕
It's really good to see you laugh a lots
Thanks very much for the sharing. Although my English is not very good (to be honest I was reading the subtitles when watching this video and many other English speaking videos too and do check my English-Chinese dictionary from time to time on words that I don't know about) but still I enjoyed very much watching the conversations between you and your American friend. I like how you both interacted with each other which've made such a good and great laughter all together. Good job and keep it up then. Take good care and God bless:)
Idk bout you guys, but I'm girl crushin' here watching Izzy smile, laugh, and giggle. However, I can't imagine myself talking with this type of accent. T'was already hard enough for me to learn American accent lols. Loooooove this "spontaneous" type of content by the way. 😻
Really so funny 😅😀, looking forward more British ascent video.
This is indeed a really good video!!! Very funny, entertainment and educational.
Very nice chemistry. Good vibes all around.
I love Izzy's accent.

I wish I had a British friend to do this with. I would learn so much and I'm already so fascinated by the accent
Thank you. Good video ❤
Nice lesson thank you so much
ALL LOVE FOR YOU DEAR 💗💗💗
Izzy, c'mon, you know "bugger". I spent 2 years in the UK and heard it all the time, you silly bugger😊
Thanks a lot, I also learnt something!

Nathaniel is a huge inspiration! I just started my youtube channel and started posting. I hope to someday meet him and have a conversation about life ❤️
Thanks!
I liked the ways she laughed 2:57 so cute😂
Funny one! I discovered your channel through my journey to learn Chinese, but I really enjoy watching your videos not linked to learning Chinese too! Honestly what is puzzling to me is that I find neither you as a British nor Nathaniel as an American (if I understood well) have a strong accent... maybe because you are both 'articulate' while speaking to an audience on video? Just to let you know what English accents are like from a non-native speaker of English... I was born and raised in France, at the end of the previous century... no internet or YT when I was a kid or a teenager, this slowly came into the picture when I was a student at the start of this century. So, at my era, French kids had no exposure to English before entering Middle school. I heard some kids of my age had introduction to English in Primary school, but I think it was a real exception at that time, and I did not have (but nowadays most Primary schools have introduction to English in the curriculum). And when I say no exposure, it is strictly no exposure at school or in our daily lives: no internet, TV shows in French or dubbed in French (almost never any original versions with subtitles), etc... only songs on the radio, but honnestly we couln't understand anything and as a kid it sounded like gibberish to me. So I more or less discovered English while entering middle school (age 11). During the 4 years of middle school, all English teachers were French people who had learnt English in the UK, and who taught us a British (or British-like...) accent. In High school (age 15 to 17), I had one teacher who was French but with more ties to the US and who had an accent closer to American than British, the other two teachers being the 'French with a British accent'. At that point, still more or less no exposure to English outside of the English classroom, except the odd 4-days school trip to Britain once. When I joined university, it began to be more diverse: first a French with over-posh overplayed British accent, and then: an American (of Irish ascent who sometimes showed us what Irish accent sounded like), a Malaysian who had lived in Britain, an Australian. And in the meantime, I went for an exchange in Singapore, where I met Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians, Mauritians, Canadians, a Kenyan, a South African and other non native English speakers (Chinese, Japanese, other European nationalities...). And I did an internship in Ireland too. At that point, my command of English was very good, but I must say my accent was from nowhere... As an Irish colleague told me once when I was in Ireland: 'it's stange because we cannot guess you are French by your accent, but we cannot guess where you are from either because you sound like no accent we know...' So just to come back to the topic of this video: as a native English speaker, you may not imagine how hard it is to stick to an accent... Learning an accent is not that difficult, but when you encounter the same language in so many versions, especially if you are an eager learner always trying to integrate new things and to adapt to your environment, it is way too hard to stick to an accent you learned before when the local accent is different. I remember being scolded by a classmate in Singapore because I was starting to have the local accent, and he thought I was making fun of him...
Izzy, please make more videos on RP British accent🥹 and can you please suggest podcasts that can help me with British accent?
Lmfao this was funny to watch great chemistry between you ❤
07:33 "You had avocado toast with the lads" :D Oh my days, I can't stop laughing.
that is so funny 😂I have been practicing RP as well
So beautifully 👌👌
Bloody hilarious..lol. It sounded like Nathaniel was an average ESL student trying to master his English skills;)
I came from Mr. Drew's channel. I can't help finding your channel and watching the video!
11:16 Speaking of ‘beastly’. Last year I read a couple of books by George Orwell. This great author uses the word in a variety of contexts, for instance: “What keeps a hotel going is the fact that the employees take a genuine pride in their work, beastly and silly though it is.” (Down and Out in Paris and London); “Gordon averted his eyes from a beastly Rackhamesque dust-jacket”; “It was beastly cold”; “To be disappointed at missing a beastly literary tea-party seemed to him absurd.” (Keep the Aspidistra Flying)
Ladies and gentlemen, two beasts of life organization in the same video 🤯
You have the Cutest Smile ❤❤
Funny and learned a lot of British words accents etc
Have fun ❤
LOL 3:10 of course we say bugger, Izzy is just too posh and polite 😇 I think Hugh Grant said bugger throughout the film Four Weddings And A Funeral, or one of his other films. 7:07 people sometimes say "us lot" but that's not an RP thing. 9:02 scandalous sounded Australian I think.
Wow, you are amazing and you bring in so much positive vibes in your videos. You should try Indian too.
"chunder in my stomach" LMFAO! 🤣
Love it
lovely
Hahah that's cool! :)
In a children's movie from the 60's " chitty chitty Bang Bang " POSH .... Port out , Starboard Home
wow such a cute, beautiful and talented person izzy must be overjoyed getting to talk to someone like that
Kudos
I don't mean to be beastly, but I chundered the minute he went "and it came out". I'm afraid this feeling's gonna haunt me for yonks! I'm asking my colleague James to have a butchers at this, but he seems to be quite knacked at the minute. I probably will have to kick his bollocks to get him move. Fat a lot of good he is. 本故事纯属虚构。如有雷同,纯属巧合。
You should go into modeling. Become an MD & model... and maybe firefighter if you have the time.
You're so pretty
This video is too short, we need more^^

omg i sensed chemistry

IZ - I don’t know if you will see this - but this is actually the first / wonderful time You’ve really on KZread let go a LOT , relaxed and had FUN - no matter how you tried to remain organized - he just kept making you have fun , smile and laugh . I always KNEW that YOU were in there Thanks for being open and posting - always always keep this always always have someone in your life which brings this side of you out in balance . Turn the sound off sometime and just watch how you’re relaxed and having fun and playing around It’s great girl ! Your patients need this side of you too
Thanks for the video. It's great and fun! It might just be slightly better if we could tell those points about RP in a more structured way, like pronunciation part / word choice part / french accent part 😃etc. Anyway, it was a very interesting chat and I appreciate a lot your avoidance of vulgarity. To me personally, it's what a Cambridge graduate should be like.
"Yonks" comes from the phrase "donkey's years"
I think this is like when foreigners try to act American and go YEEHAW and howdy do LOL.
"bugger" is British slang! How come you don't know it or use it, Izzy! I've heard it in different British films and programmes.
