Khalid Nageb, your comment on this ones comment sections is quite courageous, but I, unfortunately, have to declare something to you, when saying goodbye of any sort chap you must make sure to say old chap, for instance in one's comment, one wrote "Jolly nice video, chap :-)" this is almost correctly written but the correct way to write this is "Jolly good video, old chap :-)", this gives not only a better knowledge of the posh way of speaking but it also enhances ones "poshness" in a sense. thank you, have a jolly good day old chap.
Wow this is really great! I've always loved old English, but now I realise it's not just use of more archaic words, it's about actually relearning the pronuncation of words I'm learning in my RP lessons right now.
I loves this part even more than the first one. Excellent job! I wish l could speak RP fluently. The usage of complex vocabulary is the hardest skill to acquire. especially when your mother tounge is not english!
I absolutely love the Upper RP accent. That's why I always watch b&w british films. "Jolly good video". My parents used to speak like that. Looking foward to return to my beloved England after 55 excruciating years.
I love this channel ! Growing up, I learned British English(RP). Then I moved to the States with my family and have now lost the accent. This is helping me a lot !
Kiwi. Yes. Meghan Markle with all her British royal titles with run for the Presidency in 2024, so Britain will once again rule the United States of America
@@CulturedPotato Hi Penguin. Unfortunately H&M said they have stepped back, not stepped down, which is a worry. Also they're still fighting for more British Royal titles for their family. They want Archie to be a Prince. He will be a Prince when Charles takes the throne. But in the meantime M has her eye on running for President in 2024. If she wins, the British royal family will once again rule America. I'm sure a lot of Americans will be up in arms about that! H&M really know how to use their titles to get places when they've supposedly stepped back! 🤔
@@mosthated8848 There's some worrying relationships going on with Harry, Meghan and the American elite. I wouldn't be surprised if they all conspired to get Meghan elected as president. Yes, I think Trump was unfairly ousted. I read so many comments from regular American people at the time of the election and I couldn't believe the difficulty they had in casting their votes. Things such as being turned away from voting stations and staff not allowing them to put their paper in the box themselves, etc. If that was the UK there'd have been an outcry. ☹️
I had an old English teacher and he spoke the same and he made that face too. A thorough Englishman through and through. It was an honor to be tutored under him.
manners and upper class way of speaking was always a main feature of british gentlmen and women, i love the actual english it shows a lot of respect and class , i really like the video by the way, it motivated me to start investing some time to learn classy words and accent of the original english
I love this. A pragmatic introduction to the English language. I'm hoping to get to grips with it one day, currently being a 50-year-old Englishman who has lived in England for all of his life. Mind you, I'm from Birmingham.
I really like your videos! Little did I know that the course I took years ago in Linguistics would be so helpful! I am now an actor working in London, and coming from Norway, nobody seems to think so 😊
Can't wait to go back to England! Thank you for all the lessons, Aly! Hope to get a butcher's at some new vids soon. My accent is getting better by the day thanks to you,mate. Proper work,cheers.
This has been eye-opening. Love it! 2 more things: 1. instead of a typically modern English "sh" formed in the very front of the mouth, it has to sound fuller and be formed in middle of the mouth, does it? More like a German "sh"/"sch". 2. The "oo" also has to be more in the middle or toward the back of the mouth. When the old man says "loo", it's more like a Spanish or German "u". Basically, just hold the tongue back for both sounds.
I really liked the advice on "not opening mouth too much"...it really does make you sound posher. The only thing is that I am an English teacher and I suppose one has to speak more clearly in class
@@ibosquez5238 Okay. But remember my words, Meghan will run for Potus. She has a lot of wealthy backers and is friends with Biden. I feel really sorry for the good American people with that despot of a woman in charge
I missed watching these two videos of yours on the British posh accent, I don't know how. They are very clear and analytical as always, thanks Aly. By the way, I love your accent, I really like the sound and the way you speak is so clear even for an intermediate level learner like me. Think what an idiot I am, until some time ago I thought all British people spoke like you 😊......just me who comes from a Country with 20 different regional accents 😄
These two parts were very helpful. I love to Roleplay in DnD and after our current Campaign ends I wanted to do away with my arguably crazy Dwarf with a strong german accent in favour of a new character, an Ex Captain or higher member of the Navy who speaks with a very Posh accent. So thanks a lot. This was rather helpful indeed.
Could you make more videos about RP, please? Love your channel! I have had no idea that English people could use such a natural way of 'r' pronounciation, especially for a foreigner xd
I have lived in New Zealand my whole life, went to England for 2 weeks & caught the Upper RP syndrome, which people find annoying & I still have it till this day. It's been 6 years...
The older man sounds like somebody u would find in the wizarding world of harry potter or something tbh the accent is so classy (and posh af) i'm in love
When I was younger, my teachers would always say that flower and flour are synonyms. But, it's weird that we say flower with two vowel sounds, But flour just sounds like "flaa". Then, it was confusing for me to watch every other cooking channel on youtube, either it be australian, american or british, because every single one of them pronounce flour exactly like the word flower. I believe malaysia used to learn these upper RP back when we were under the british rule and somehow manage to retain the pronunciation for the word flour.
A jolly nice explanation, old sport,lol. Seriously, I really enjoyed it, furthermore you added phonetics to the video. Congratulations! I'll subscribe.
ADDENDA 'Marvellous' in posh English is pronounced in two syllables (marv'lous). U people know the difference between 'farther' and 'further', and between 'less' and 'fewer'. U people know if 'ma'am' is pronounced with a short 'a' or a broad 'a'.
This is interesting and beautiful. I hope we'll eventually speak with the beautiful accent the BBC had all those years ago is part of our culture and it should be kept nicely. Thank you for shearing this, find it very fascinating🙂👏👏👍.
That upper RP accent is indeed palatial and and if you heard your potential employee speak like that during the job interview, you would think they're surefooted and professional but nobody uses this accent anymore when it comes to real life and casual conversations. I don't reckon it would be worth it to have a crack at it. It's terrific for school/theatre plays though. :)
Sorry, but I just love that old chap on the right. "Shower" "Shaahhh"
flaaaah paaaaaah :))))
Faaaaahhh Haaaahh Acquaaaaahhh
Yeah. Enoyed "Empaa" aswell.
Does anyone know this chap's name?
"I don't need shower." as you wholeheartedly say to your friend
The British Empire will once again acquire the United States LOL
LOL
laughed hard at that one
PopTartNeko please do. please.
Make America Great Britain again!
So they can no longer celebrate their happy treason day at july the 4th. Colonial hooligans.....
So I attempted to do this Upper RP thing, my friend almost kicked the crap out of me. It was worth it.
Those R.P. accents is what makes one think that the citizens of the UK are arrogant, indeeeed. Oh, jolly wally!
No wonder you've got not many friends since
@@StrangerHappened Oh how terribly foolish of those foreigners.
You should be okay with that rubber face tho
Why don't you make a series of RP accent classes?
Really well made, informative, and funny.
Thank you! Very kind of you!
One might say humorous...

He' s jokes
I really love British English. I am obsessed.
You both sound so lovely!

My grandfather speaks EXACTLY like that, that's amusing. ^^
I believe many grandfathers speak with a heightened rp. One may consider that is quite obnoxious to make a fool of it.

Hey it's you! :) hola!
+Learn English with Papa Teach Me what city has the Posh accent?
It's not really associated with a city (If it was, it would be London), it's more about the level of formality and class.
Learn English with Papa Teach Me Hola! i'm still working on the accent, luckly i've got my ticket to go to london next year!
Woo! See you in London! :D
Is it just me or the old guy sounds kinda like the docotr
I tried this accent, mastered it. All for sounding arrogant Winston Churcill-ish and commanding.
Super good class, I loved the posh black and grey gent.

How charming & funny, gentlemen. Thanks 🤩
I love your videos man. I learned in two days how to sound as posh as a Cockney man.
jolly good video, chaps!
Tien Tran quite
The upper RP "Power" expression was hilarious 😂
"Lavatory" not "Loo" is sometimes used in more formal situations by those with upper received pronunciation.
Thanks to Churchill. Without him we would have been speaking German now.
Jolly nice explanation, young chaps!
Great! 😂 Daughter goes to a public school this Sep. I asked her if they say "How do you do? "in school.She said nobody. 😂😂

This actually taught me that I were already doing an upper RP accent. Cool.

thoroughly enjoyed it. Found out I was correct when it comes to say Shower. Big thumbs up. Plz an we have more upper RP videos
