Dude, you do an American accent better than a lot of Americans...
That last point concerning "a" vs "ah". I'd definitely like a closer look at that.

Small suggestion, that would be better if you could tell us when does the new episode about to release^^
Thank you very much!!
I love this lessons! I'm an Italiano girl (and I'm really thinking about these words with British pronunciation)!
Anyway, "Posh t" is totally Len Hadey's T pronunciation!
Hi there, thanks for the lessons, very useful.
I've got one question or suggestion : you focus a lot about on the pronounciation of letters but what probably amazed me the most in the UK when I travelled there is the muscality of the British accent. As a French speaker myself, I found French much more flat in that matter. To put an example, the English tends to reach very high "notes" especially when they ask questions or express their surprise. "Oh ? Really ? How funny you are !"
Best regards

Hi guys, you are great! Thank you for your helpful lessons! Could you make a video with an "o" sound please? I think it's challenging for some of us to pronounce it correctly.
Thank you for your video ... and can you make videos about stress words .. rrealy I don't understand it very well .. thanks
thank you so much, these lessons are very useful! could you do a lesson on how to pronounce 'th' properly, because I do have problems with this one.
Thanks for the tips!!!
+Michele Mannino thanks for watching, Michele!
wow , i liked the 8 lesson just wow
These lessons have been super helpful. Is it better to have someone to help listen to my pronunciations and such by someone from London or who knows the accent well? ( Aiden from Baltimore )
Thanks Papas.
Very informative
I do love Received Pronunciation especially spoken by Leo Genn and Anthony Steel (they were in a 1950 British classic, 'Wooden Horse'. And I love it).
The thing with the T should I use the true t more often or the other T? And you make really good videos and I hope that I can improve my accent. And can you make a video about the 'a' bc I don't really know how to pronounce 'can' or 'can't'.
Love and appreciate your effort devoted with these videos. I noticed the speaker(a hunk, no that what I'm about to say is related to, anyway...) mentioned a point that southern England accent does not always have "A" with the /ā/ sound, sometimes with the /æ/ sound. While the northern England accent pronounce all "A" with the /ā/ sound. What is the pronunciation like regarding to this aspect in Midlands? West and east. What about Birmingham?
Even if I am speaking Serbian I succeeded to remove all the harsh sounds originating from my language into English and I am using all your tips properly by now. Just keep it going! :)
oh my goddd !!!! I loveee yaaaaa 😍😍 THANK YAAA SO MUCHHH ... YOU HELPED MEEEHHH SOSOSOSO MUCH ❤
+Multifandom Potterhead cheers guy!
You look like Darren Cris in this video :D
Keep doing your videos, it's very helpful.
I'm not an American actress, but this helps out a lot! Thank you so much!
Hi, thanks a lot for your videos. Your videos are really helping me. Can you please suggest some british actors to follow for accent. I am young man in early 20's.
Appreciate you kind feedback. cheers !!
OMFG I like littelary only clicked into this to learn brittish to be able to imitate Loki and tou actually mention the move in this video creepy yet so awesome x'D And thank you for letting me know where it was filmed I had no idea how did they ever get premission for that? Btw your lessons are really easy and helps allot! The only one Iv'e had trouble with was the last one with LL and TT . Maby if you could've covered that abit more/longer Omg I think in brittish now almost typeing every word in brittish by misstake! I love this KEEP ON DOING AWDM VIDEOS YOU GUYS :D !
Hey, thanks for the lessons, I'm a spanish speaker so this is kinda hard for me, anyway, you make it look easy!
Hi Aly, I've been watching Thomas Sangster, Millie Bobby Brown, n Benedict Cumberbatch, bcs I want to imitate the accent of one of spesific british persons. But the 3 of them have their own style n it makes me confused. I think Ben's accent is the most difficult to catch, n Mill's is the easiest. What makes them so different? N what should I do? Should I focus on 1 person only? Thank you.
I really didn't know the (ry) rule. That video was super helpful!
amazing tips i am spanish speaker but when i practice those tips they really works.
+Sergio Velas awesome! :)
loving your lessons! what about the way you pronounce the "o" in different words?
Thank you! Also that is an excellent question! We talk about that in a new lesson coming soon! :)
George Costanza I was trying to channel Jon Hamm. hah!
Can you do a video on how to pronounce names of colours?
well guys that is truly amazing.But , im still finding some problems with words like : water , for example should i pronounce it wa'a or sumthn like that ????? god i hove a lot of questions
Thanks a lot for helping us to learn British accent. I live in UK and really wanna make my accent British. Now I am searching for lesson 9 😜
Awesome! Keep it up! We're currently making a new series of accent lessons :)
Thanks a lot for your reply. Looking forward for new videos thanks a lot
well i really apreciate your videos. but the only thing i haven t understood is why sometimes grammar seems to be wrong in colloquial english. i heard once Adele saying is with a plural word. just haven t found any reason in all videos of the British accent
Thaaank u teacher please more video about cockney thanks
Do consonants become slightly duller in the british accent, for example, 'much better' sounds like [mʌʧ 'petə] instead of [mʌʧ 'betə]. And, by the way, what about connecting sounds, for example, the sound [j] in the phrase the end [ðɪjend]?
hello, i do speech therapy and i also study phonology of portuguese. i am brazilian, well, can you use the symbols phonetics always?
Hi, thank you for such a great video. I've been learning American English for more than 10 years. But I'm learning British accent recently because I'm going to study in London this year. Like you mentioned about the "A" sound which is the most important when it comes to British accent. I've been struggling with "Ah" and "Arh" because the American pronunciation seems to influence on my pronunciation a lot. Could you please make another video providing some tips to memorize or distinguish the "Ah" and "Arh" sounds? Your advice and help would be highly appreciated! Thank you:)
+Chen Bryan absolutely! We have a whole new series planned :)
Thank you! I'm looking forward to it! I also hope I will have a chance to join the meet-up when I am in London.
+Chen Bryan awesome! :)
What is your opinion about the movie and following tv-series "This Is Ensland"?
would be great to see more places, sights, a piece of culture. thanks)
Interesting... in school (in Spain) the English we learned was "Posh" then... or maybe it was our teacher preference? I want to learn Glottal T / Londoneer / Cockney now! :D
Can you go into more details of the 'a' sounds in different words, please?
I model my accents mainly to Chris Martin of Coldplay, chef Aaron Craze and Katy Perry's ex-husband Russell Brand. They speak really clear British accent. Perfect for beginners.
Recommend any movies?
If you had the time, could you perhaps tell me what part of brittan Stephen Merchant's accent originates from?
watch all the 8 videos, now i'm having the idea to show you how my accent has been improved. It would be great if you give your viewer some challenges, i guess. Maybe you can give us a story or dialogue that we should read and later on you will comment on several vids and show us the correct way to read it .
thank you so much for the videos!!!! :)
First of awesome that whole" more open in the back of the throat thingy becuze it actually feels better talking like that it feels like one can breathe better to! And your weird C: Symbol is actually a letter in Swedish : Å so it is much easier for me than any english speaking person to atleast learn that part!
You made me laugh when you were doing your posh library and strawberry. hahaha
Posh Ts are really hard. Especially in words like bottle, little, digital, etc. When a dark L sound comes after a d it's the same case, for instance "model". When I listen to people who do this sound, they all seem to do it effortlessly. Could you please make a video on how to do that?
Amazing! Your videos have been so useful to me. I'm from Mexico and all my life I've been educated with the American accent and culture but, now I've been trying to change my accent to British. It's hard but hopefully I will change it this year. I had a British friend though but she's no longer living in Mexico :(
Mexican!? Awesome! Do you like Vicente Fernandez? :D
I'm afraid I don't, in my brain and soul I'm british hahaha! but it's so cool that you know him;)
i'm trying to learn Spanish with his songs! :D haha!
Cool! I learned english by watching films and listening to music. and then classes:) you should come to mexico, you'll love it, i'm sure
I'm sure it'd be amazing! :D
is lesson eight the last one ?cause i cant find 9 or any other new i can say that im obsessed with your videos and i want to complete learning with your way so please dont stop :) im waiting for ur reply
Hey! Thanks for watching! We've made a new cockney accent lesson, the next will be a posh accent lesson, followed by a series of british pronunciation lessons :)
hey Ur amazing can u pls upload videos for being more fluent with British accent
+Jenifer archer we have videos for that! 🤘🤓
I'm planning to go to uk... so guys what accent Is better to learn?? .. cuz i wanna sound cute. any suggestions? :)
Hello! I am learning a lot from you ! Could you recommend some more British television shows other than 8 out of 10 cats and Fresh Meat? Thanks a lot
Game of thrones (teryon lanestar is the best)
+Mohamedmeee 491 he is great! Did you know that's an American actor?
Thanks Jason.
😂
Aren't the posh t and true t same? Both are pronounced with the tongue tapping at the back of the front teeth. Are they different?
I really need a lesson about "be supossed to" though :)
Hi! I've got a question related to what you said about posh people pronouncing kind of "rih-lly" instead of "reee-lly" when they say "really". Maybe I'm mixing those two sounds with one more but, would they pronounce "beach" and "bitch" the same way, then?
Good question! Actually it's only when the "ee" sound is at the end of the word. Not the middle. For example bitch and beach are pronounced how they should be. But if for example you said "bitchy" it could sound like "bitch-ih" ... If that makes sense?
What about the vowel sounds ?
How do you do o's?
I guess a good example of Estuary English or RP speaker would be the way that Sir David Attenborough's (narrator of Planet Earth).
He speaks in an elegant English accent. Example accent as But he has most clear, lucid English and amazing voice.
I have a lesson suggestion .
Can you teach us the american english and the British english translations . Like for example american=Restroom british=toilet/loo etc. thanks :))
Could you make more videos about that posh t sound ???
I love British accent, never desist on your classes
Who do I love his American voice so much
What can I say to you? just one thing Thanks a lot.
I'm one of your followers from the middle east (Yemen) and Im excited to learn more about British accent.
Thanks! :) Glad you're enjoying them! we have a huuuuge accent lesson coming soon!
Ok dear. We're waiting 😙😙
Hi i stiil have problems with the shwa
What about castle? Is it c-a-stle or c-ahr-stle
My absolute favorite voice and accent is teryon lanestar from game of thrones
can you illustrate to to pronounce the A
Also (and I'm sorry for spamming your channel with comments), is there a rule of thumb for knowing when to use the ah/a sound as in the last point in this video? I think that's why so many Americans have such difficulty with English accents. To me, at least, it seems like there's no rhyme or reason for choosing one sound over the other. Like, why would someone say "can" as in "hand" but "can't" as in...uh, like the philosopher Kant?
+Amanda S it's to do with a thing called the "trap bath split". I'm making a new video about it soon 😉
