Howdy everybody! Hi from Kyrgyzstan! I'm a translator and a teacher of English. I've been working as a translator for over 20 years. We run a Translation center in Osh. I'm a follower of your UA-cam channel. I appreciate your teaching work.
It's a wonderful lesson ! Lessons as such are helpful to try to speak 🗣️ closer to the native English speakers! Anyway, it is hard but could be achievable. Teacher Wes thank you for your help!
I'm a Call Center Agent in a BPO Company, sometimes customer don't wanna talk to me because of my accent. They want to talk to Americans who can speak better english. So i am thankful for this lesson, because it will helps me to speak a better english ❤
Another one to point out is the way we say "do you" which can sometimes come out sounding more like "dju". Or we drop the O like you talk about in other words so it sounds like "d'you"
I love this video,so helpful! I wanted to have an american accent without having to go to the US.😅 i used to work in a call center as a customer service rep where I get to talk to native english speakers and practice my english. I always watch Wes' video for phrasal verbs, daily expressions, idioms that native English speakers use. The only way I knew I improved my english was through my customers not noticing that I am not from the Us as they are having a hard time talking to people with accents.😊 Wes really helped me a lot! Thank you so much sir. 🥰
Speaking I was getting ready to go to the walmart, I took a deep american breath and asked my american friends : "Im Gonna-go-tuh-duh Walmar-Chzew need sumpthin?" They're pretty much impressed by my accent now 😂 Appreciate your lessons. Love from NJ ❤
I have always had an American accent (don’t ask why I’m watching this) and you made me notice things that I never realized were there that I have been speaking this whole time…
Hi Mr Wes.....I'm Italian, and I've lived in England for a long time....but I like the American accent much more than the British one..... well, fortunately I have lots of relatives who live in the States, and thanks to them I'm starting to sound more American and less British 😅😅 Your videos are really interesting and helpful, and they're gonna help me to abandon the Queen language....no doubt about it 😂😂
I am a native speaker who has trouble speaking quickly since I tend to speak slowly and enunciate. This is probably more the case with introverts. This is good practice even for me to let my words run into each other.
Hello teacher...I always try to speak in American Accent becuz I love this accent...thanks to you for sharing this video😊❤Lots of love from Uzbekistan🇺🇿🇺🇿
I'm an actor, and this really helped me practise, not only the strong R consonant, but the differences in vowel sounds to my native Australian accent. Some of the vowel sounds are very different to my accent, and some are subtle in variation to my accent, which can be difficult to get a handle on, without specific practise. Ta!
I work for one of the tech support agencies and I don’t blame any American for being so rude to me when ever they don’t understand my accent however I took some of the customers angry words are as my gifts apparently I have start talking to local Canadian people and i am not fully ready with the accent but I am up there like 40 percent of it. Although I am trying to learn one of the customer scolded me you don’t know English you are talking like a espanic accent. This is the reason why I have searched for this topic and your videos are on top five. Thanks for backing up with this kind of videos this is going to help in building my accent ❤
Hello teacher Wes, I want to say thank you so much for this class. I think you are very pro. Congratulations and so on in your successful way. Sorry for my English, I am learning
I would just like to say that I have been listening to a lot of videos that teach the American accent and this is the best so far. I’m trying to learn the American accent for my acting career (I’m British). Thank you so much for making this content, Wes. I really appreciate it 😊❤
As a language enthusiast, i find your vids very interesting and helpful. I pretty much like learning variety of english accents. I think you missed somethin here. While its very common in most BrE accents, not in american accents but i noticed that AmE speakers too, use T glottalization in words like shorten (which i noticed you used it in this vid), kitten, button, mountain etc. so far as i know, this aint a feature in General American accent, is it? Will you explain more about glottal stop in AmE accents? Thank you in advance.
Born and raised in So Cal. and when I traveled to other parts of the states I was asked where I was from because I had NO accent. It wasn't until 10 years ago I learned my accent was called "Standard American". Didn't know it was a thing. People back East and overseas coined it the "Newscaster Accent". 😅
The basic knowledge that is very helpful to get better understanding of an American Accent. Still practicing on making my conversation flowing. Thank you for the video, appreciate it a lot.
New England, is a place where all British people used to stay for a while or live for a long time. The region has deep English roots so they pronounce a little bit close to their ancestral.
I’m not an expert when I say any of this, but I am an American with a slight southern accent. I think linking is leaning more into a southern accent than a standard one. I also think that the “for” pronunciation you are talking about leans more on the Southern side rather than standard.
please , can you make a profile for different accents in english specially for people with issues with understanding fast speakin specially in detailed conversation
I’m English so I’m a native speaker but learning an American accent because I want to get into acting 🎭 and thought it can come in handy when playing certain roles.
This was amazing video! I got it! I could speak all the sentence with you and in the same speed!!! But I have a question! Do you reduce every unstressed vowels to the schwa sound ? Because I swear I could hear "hu" instead of "he".
English is not my mother tongue but I love it very much since childhood. In school days I never missed English period .❤❤❤❤ I belong to village here in India nobody speaks English in Villages.
As an American, this was very helpful.
Native or Latino?

Don't forget about practice, I found American UA-cam channels to be very helpful in getting understanding of the American accent.
@@ildar5184 what are they?
I love pronouncing the final Rs, using the flap T and mastering the schwa sound. Shadowing used to be my middle name 😊.
That's great! Keep up the good work. 👏
I think I don't pronounce all the final r especially when I'm speaking a little bit faster but I like them too.
Speaking! Thanks mate. Aussie actor here, this has been very helpful as an introduction into the standard American accent 👌
Great to hear! Thanks for your comment. 👍
Remember over pronunciation of the Rs.
So "Remember", really pronounce the R at the end.
We have a very Dry Accent, it's Rough and Unpolished
Also we pronounce our Ts as Ds
AUSSIE ACTRESS IS HERE TO!
NZ actor here lol
Another one to point out is the way we say "do you" which can sometimes come out sounding more like "dju". Or we drop the O like you talk about in other words so it sounds like "d'you"
