This is perfect for people who live in the UK and want a clearer accent, or those who just love the sound of British English and are interested in improving their pronunciation. To begin, we will focus on removing some common Americanisms, in order to make you sound more British. These are influences on your accent that you may have picked up from watching American TV or from American people. In the second part of the lesson, I will then teach you how to refine your British accent with tricks and tips that are uniquely British. By the end, you will sound more British and improve your accent. 0:00 Introduction to speaking with a British accent -----STEP ONE: REMOVING AMERICANISMS [1:25] Word Stress: British English vs American English Example words; detail, debut, massage, café In British English the stress is on the first syllable: DEE-tail, DE-but, MASS-age, CA-fé In American English the stress is on the second syllable: De-TAIL, de-BUT, mass-AGE, ca-FE. [2:16] Final /r/ isn’t pronounced in British English In British English we don't pronounce the final /r/ in words. It's there in the spelling, but it's just there to trick you. Example words: better /ˈbet.ə/ butter /ˈbʌt.ə/ brother /ˈbrʌð.ə/ [3:02] Don’t pronounce a flapped /t/ This the main Americanism which I see with my students. It's increasingly common in native British speakers too! British: kitty litter /ˈkɪt.i ˌlɪt.ə/ little letter /ˌlɪt.əl ˈlet.ə/ bitter lettuce /ˌbɪt.ə ˈlet.ɪs/ American: ‘kiddy lidder’ /ˈkɪd.i ˌlɪd.ə/ ‘liddle ledder’ /ˌlɪd.əl ˈled.ə/ ‘bidder leddis’ /ˌbɪd.ə ˈled.ɪs [4:18] Change /ɑː/ to /ɒ/ The final Americanism to change in your speech involves learning a vowel sound and making a shift. Example words; hot, got, bottom, cop The American accent pronounces these words with an /ɑː/ vowel, which makes them sound like: ‘haht’, ‘gaht’, ‘bahttom’, ‘cahp’ The British English accent pronounces a different vowel called /ɒ/. So it will sound like: hot, got, bottom, cop -----STEP TWO: TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR BRITISH ACCENT [5:00] Add a yod /j/ for a posh British accent In British English we add a /y/ sound to some words, which doesn't happen in American English. Example words; duty, duke, stupid British English (interpreted spellings): ‘dyuty’ /ˈdjuː.ti/ ‘dyuke’ /djuːk/ ‘Styupid’ /ˈstjuː.pɪd/ American English: (interpreted spellings) ‘doody’ /ˈduː.di/ ‘dook’ /duːk/ ‘stoopid’ /ˈstuː.pɪd/ [5:50] Use the /ʌ/vowel instead of /ɜː/ Here's another vowel change that you need to learn for your British accent... Example words; worry, curry, hurry British English (interpreted spellings): ‘wurry’ /ˈwʌr.i/ ‘curry ‘ /ˈkʌr.i/ ‘hurry’ /ˈhʌr.i/ American English (interpreted spellings): ‘werr-y’/ˈwɜːr.i/ ‘cerr-y’ /ˈkɜːr.i/ ‘herr-y’ /ˈhɜːr.i/ [6:42] Pronounce long ‘a’ /ɑː/ in some words with 'ar' spelling In your British accent, you should shift most words that have 'ar' spelling to be pronounced with a vowel that we call long 'a’ /ɑː/ Example words; transport, path, bath, sample British English: /ˈtrɑːns.pɔːt/ /pɑːθ/ /bɑːθ/ /ˈsɑːm.pəl/ American English: /ˈtræns.pɔːt/ /pæθ/ /bæθ/ /ˈsæm.pəl/ [7:58] Glottal stops This is when we don't pronounce the 'ter' at the end of a word, or sometimes in the middle. And instead, we make a 'uh' sound, 'uh', like it's stuck in our throat. [9:00] English rhythm My best tip for natural English rhythm of speech. -----LESSON ROUNDUP Thank you for watching this lesson.
