    Hi,Tom! I'd like to thank you for all the amazing content you create to help us, English learners, understand this beautiful language even more. Your videos about British accents are literally the best on UA-cam. I'm a firm believer that you open an absolutely incredible side of phonetics and pronunciation for many students.
    As a suggestion for one of the coming videos, I think it would be great to get a closer look at Kate's Winslet's accent.
    Wish you all the best!

    Hello Tom :) Thanks for the video. As an English lover, I really love your accent videos ;) Well, I definitely like Gemma Chan's accent. It is the one I try to speak with, modern received pronunciation. I don't usually drop the 't' sound, but I have the other features of the accent. For example, schwa sound, the way of pronouncing '''TH'' 'H' etc. I am looking forward to watching the next video :) Have a nice week mate :)

The sad part is that english teachers from other countries rarely can imitate any of the accents that you showed off in your channel

    One of the accents that fascinates me is Charlie Hunnam's, because he was born in England, but he moved to the US for his acting career. When he did King Arthur he had to take British English Pronunciation classes because he had changed his accent so much. I remember how mixed his accent was in interviews when he was promoting SOA (pronouncing garage US /gəˈrɑʒ/) and now he's got a stronger British accent (but I'd say much more RP than Geordie)... For me this just goes to show that even native speakers accent aren't the same during their lifetime ❤️❤️❤️.

    In Hongkong, the pre-requisite of speaking proper English (or losing the Cantonese accent) is pronouncing the /th/ sound properly like RP instead of smearing it into an 'f' sound.
    Northern England's 'a' (/ae/) is also used more often in US English.

    Hi, can I ask you a favor? I am teaching kids English right now, there are some words which are very confusing. My colleague told me my pronunciation was wrong. for example, pizza panda pasta such words end with a, I pronounce them more like a short a sound. My colleague said it's /pændə/, the last sound should be /ə/. But I looked up to the dictionary, it did sound like a short a sound not a clear /ə/sound. I think it’s between those two sounds.
