      @@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.

    @miaouscleaumonocle 2 роки тому +3

    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...

    At 5:20 I think I know why you sound French! The RP pronunciation of _t_ includes a small aspiration so it's more like _t(h)_ . Yet you use your American _t_ and stick it to an overall British-ish pronunciation... which in the end makes you sound rather French
