Traditional RP sounds sooo lovely ! It was one of the first accents I could understand as an English language learner, and still I m spellbound when hearing David Attenborough or Joanna Lumley . Thanks for this beautiful video . Greetings from the Netherlands .❤
I am brazilian. When I was a teenager, I used to watch a lot of BBC's documentaries and Harry Potter's movies, and I kinda of shadowed their speeches. Then I went to an english course that usually teaches the american english accent. There, my teachers said that I had a very distinct british accent. Haha
As regards the three forms of RP here- traditional, aristocratic and BBC, I can accept there are differences in intonation, but they are largely following the same rules of pronunciation.
This week there were a lot of notifications aired by the sound system on Dutch Railways train stations I noticed , because of strikes . Starting with " Dear passenger .. " followed by the message , and first in the Dutch language , and then in '' rather " traditional RP English , remarkable that more traditional RP was used than the modern RP , but clear and good to understand for rail commuters . BTW a lot of technical instruments you can choose ; On the screen the language 1. Dutch , or 2. English , here in the Netherlands . And , ( without delay ) , Greetings from the Netherlands .
Wow... Fantastic pronunciations, but I love yours more than any other accents that you have mentioned in here.. Yours is just amazing and I have known it for a while now, right,.. Haven't I?? 😮😍😍 Anyways, I am ok with any accent as long as I will be all eyes and ears to any conversation that I come across.. 😮❤ Take care and have yourself a fabulous day my dear teacher Sabrah.. 🙏 😘😘 Hugs.xoxoxo Gams ❤️
There were some other things apart from these points that made the traditional rp different but i love how you took time to discuss it in detail, this is the first video on youtube that actually made me jolly happy. 😊, those "rs " that you spoke of were not over pronounced rather more rhotic or rough you could say in other words and words ending with "y" were pronounced more like lay instead of lee and words with "er" in between were pronounced as eyr sound as in seriously (seryeslay) and ness as niss, no concept of schwa sound at that time.
I loved this kind of videos!! Ive been watching a lot of videos about something called "voice placement", but so far, they only cover the american version, itd be awesome if you could talk about it
@@LoveEnglishUK I absolutely loved it, Sabe, I'm a bit short of time at the moment but I'll be back with a comment worthy of the name, don't worry! :-) ❤
Again you have nailed all of these accents, which I have been exposed to over many (?!) decades. I suspect that originally, apart from Royal usage, they were tribal. Those who felt themseves closest to the Royals adopted them first, and and it then filtered down through a perceived class structure (see the aspirent lower midle class Hyacinth Bucket - sorry 'Bouquet'). The changes to RP are still used to distinguish 'them' from 'us'. ("Loo" vs "Lavatory") Now though still tribal, I guess that the reverse is hapening - teenagers taught by teachers speaking 'proper' english feel it preferable (cooler?) to adopt their local street idioms and accents. I will be interesting to see how this develops.
Dear Madam Teacher Sabrah,thank you so incredibly much for your magnificent,great video (lesson). Greetings from the Central Europe. Btw - I've heard,that British RP accent is little bit more dificult for Slavic languages (more than American accent). Have a wonderful,beautiful weekend and take care,please.
Hallo sabrah best teach english good ways learning even guid how to Know but now my english has weakness Not so improve because of watch a lot of face line Never has more point to English even forget many Words in english l am always like just not forget you big thanks.
Greetings from Romania, now live in Cotswold. That "puff in the air" i think to every non-english makes, creates stomachaches or/and anxiety...it makes! (Or if you have mental health, pfoo-ha! My...😤🤯😯!) I'm saying from own experience. Any suggestions what can I do? "Don't fry to speak like that", someone will say... true... How calmly relaxing sounds the traditional RP... --- In Transilvania region (Romania) you speak rarely. You have more than "all the time from the entire world" to speak. It's from Austro-Hungarian Empire influence. I'm from there...

Well, I am in a tough situation now. I love the smooth and warm and comforting just quintessentially British sound. I doubt there’s any more beautiful language than the British one but even the British one has had quite so many disgraceful accents in the last decades where words were practically growing together or slam together however you wanna call it they were shortened and other words were let out therefore everything was set faster. It is really disgusting and honestly a pain to the beautiful British language so where I’m getting this as I said I love this current essentially British accent though I am not the kind of person overly fund of the concept of grammar and now there are two sites in me fighting against each other the one that deeply cares about not sounding American or German or uneducated and the other one who as I said isn’t overly delighted by the concept of grammar
Hi Sabrah, this weekend I've started experimenting with chat gpt live talk feature to improve my rp accent. I ask it to provide feedback on my rp accent. It asks me questions and I talk back to it to reply and it provides feedback, i also read a sentence or two and it gives feedback and it also asks me to repeat phrases it gives out. It really is brilliant way if you don't have a tutor. Have you tried this method before? Love to see you do a video on this method. I've tried with chat gpt, copilot and gemini app
I could not agree with you more although those shortenings of words combined with pulling words together speaking incredibly fast and matching in words from other languages today’s youth has created a truly vulgar and certainly not at all enjoyable accent and way of speaking
I have faced issues during speak the English language as pronunciation , if I don't do mistake in grammar so my fluency decrease very difficult to speak the English language 5.5 bands trapped.
@@LoveEnglishUK I work in an hospital and speak in a trad RP accent. People like the accent use, but occasionally struggle to understand the odd word that I use.
That's a rather rude micro-aggression there, Old Chap. One does not simply demand a lady reveals where she is from, especially 'originally'. Perhaps Sir should watch some etiquette videos to learn how a real Gentleman conducts himself…
@@blue_ranger I'm sorry blue ranger, but I don't see à priori what's rude about Vintagetone's question and how it constitutes any kind of aggression or even a micro-aggression. All he's doing is asking about Sabrah's geographical origin. I can't answer for her, other than to say what I know. Sabrah is English, originally from Liverpool, in the north-west of the country and notably famed as the home of the famous Beatles. She then moved to London, or at least to the south of England, for her studies, and now lives in Dorset, in Bournemouth, a coastal town in the south-west of England. Her accent is Modern Received Pronunciation also called MRP.
As I can figure it out English is going to be everybody s mother tongue within 30 years.Is it possible to find in the net comparison of the Belgorod,Moscow and Vologda accents? Or Madrid and Mexico ones?Though they are big languages . But they re doomed.At least we ll see the attempt.Only two languages will left E and Chinese. And why are the educators of English so beautiful? They re not guys.To make learning English more attractive? No offence but GB is not the very motherland of beauties like the Ukraine,Russia,Venezuela or Slovakia.

It is so darn posh 😂 … Here in the US this is what we associate as the British accent. David Attenborough and Shere Khan in one place 😂

I would say modern RP is very normal and acceptable. RP is also acceptable but you will sounds posh!
