Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚 #englishpronunciation #englishteacher #englishlesson
Tnx a lot i am From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Me too
I’m Brazilian and for me, the British Accent is wonderful, but it’s very hard to understand because I don’t have much contact.
Thank you for the video !
Keep at it! You’ll get used to it :)
hi Emma thank you for teaching me how to pronounce sounds well I'm from Russia and I'm 11 years old I write this in a translator but please answer
When I taught English to young children I associated the letters with a colour.
a, h, j, k in grey sound /eɪ/
b,c,d,e,g,p,t,v in green sound /iː/
f,l,m,n,s,x,z in red sound /e/
o, in yellow sound /əʊ/
q, u, w in blue sound /uː/
i,y in white sound /aɪ/
only r doesn't rhyme with a colour so they colored it in black.
To complete I also used a sort of rap called The Alphabet Rap.
You ought to make a video of this!
you are very beautiful teachers🌺🌺
@@Pronunciationwithemma Hello sister EMMA
your face are full euphoric
I do the same (and lots of other teachers, too ;) it really helps the students!! for "r" I use "dark" which is still related to colours ;)
My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
This video reached me at right time just before few days of my IELTS exam !!! Thank you so much Ms.Emma , it helped me a lot💜✨🌹🫶🏻💌
In Singapore, British English is taught and used in official settings such as schools and workplaces, but somehow, there are Singaporeans locals who prefer to pronounce the alphabet Z as Zee. This is the consequence of getting influenced by American culture.
It doesn't really matter. You will still be understood 👍
Phonics most be follow . Thanks
There was a teacher I remembered SabirRehman, one day he gave a lecture in the class in English, and I am not able to understand, going above my head but I got interested into his British Accent, because
He has done his education from UK. After then I started getting interest in English, leads me to start
Looking English Movies makes me too interested In English foreign accent.
I had been working on BritishAccent for last 10 years its the hard work of 10 years that I can speak in their accent.
People used to ask me that am I a foreign native, but I always reply them that one should adopt the habit of hard work. After that you can change yourself. All of you are requested to practice this language, do not think of the people, otherwise you will not be able to achieve anything in life.
Thank you Mam...Lots of love from New Delhi,India ❤️❤️
As a non-Anglophone, I was raised in an education system where RP was taught. English Second Language Higher Grade became my pet subject, which I always passed with distinction. Later in life, I was diagnosed with aphasia after a dozen strokes, four of which were basal ganglia and at least one cerebellar. Even now, despite articulation problems, I have a clearer pronunciation than most UA-cam content creators. I hate it when I hear people speak of Idilly or Toronno, for instance. Their pronunciation is in deficit.
tyyy, i've been pronouncing "r" and "z" like in american english and i'm learning the british one (but i found british english a lot harder)
British English the harder version while Americans the more simplify version
Thanks so much for the lovely video. I was looking for a video that showed the differences between the American and British pronunciation of our shared alphabet.
The letter R has always been pronounced as “ar” in Mid-West America. That’s all I’ve ever known it as. Many thanks for sharing the proper way to say it. 🙂
I don't know how do work pronunciation alphabet but I watched your video then I understood .
You're my best teacher in British language. I'm partial to it .
I really do love each quality of your personality , go ahead and think not of those who are frustrating ...
Pff
Hi, I am from Bangladesh. I am so grateful to you teacher.Best wishes to you as if you can teach us more and more.
I have subscribed
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Thank you so much for your hard work! I didn't know that 'z' was pronounced /zed/ in British English. I had been taught at schools in Japan that /zed/ was wrong and /zi;/ was right and I have been teaching like that as an English teacher. I will correct that misunderstandings at every encounter with /zed/ and /zi:/ from now on.
And to be fair, it's more or less the other way around.
It is only the US that brought the pronunciation /zi:/ instead of the original pronunciation /zed/, which may have stirred a trivial confusion in pronunciation just as the US has their own spellings and pronunciations for a lot of many other terms. Most countries like the UK, India, South Africa, Kenya, Australia, Canada and most others use the pronunciation /zed/, with a few exceptions that either use /zet/ or its equivalents but necessarily involving two consonant sounds.
And from what I know in Japan, the romanization for the letter Z in dragon ball z is "zetto" which is similar to the original pronunciation.
Thanx sister i've been prouncing"k" and "r" in a wrong way. Btw love your accent.
I need to learn more and how to speak british english
Hey Frank you're not the real deal....
I'll teach you "Kancho"
Kam dp😂😂😂
@@miriambaffour5818 Tis is very nice

I'm Italian. We have to prounance all the sounds. Therefore is so difficult for us the English pronunciation. This video is very helpful. And it doesn't spoil the beauty of the teacher. Thanks a lot.
Great Work Mam thank you so much
Hi Emma, really helpful video. Struggling with new hearing aids. The video helped me identify which sounds/frequencies need adjusting. 😊
Haha that's a new use for my videos!! Glad to help
Thank You Sister.
Love From India.
I'm Brazilian and I'm learning English with you..Congratulations for the class, God bless.

Thanks. I am watching from Penang, Malaysia

Thanks emma for updating our knowledge
About british ancient
I don't know wich accent I had to follow in my university some Instructors teach us with American and others with British but I think it's useful to be a mixed fluent and that will make me get noble of the good speaker😂😂❤
Now a days What are you study
R is /a:/ when pronounced alone however if we're singing or just reciting the alphabet, isn't it correct to add an 'intrusive r' between R /a:/ and S /es/ ?
Thanks in advance
Yes, it is correct to say it like a-r-and-ess instead of a-'-and-ess. In fact it's the natural choice to say a-r-and-ess, because English hates hiatus (that's when you have to stop between two vowels) and always prefer to have a consonant between them so the flow of conversation can keep going.
Well I see that your way of teaching its actually magnifecent... I think you deserve unlimited numbers of supporters
I always wanted to speak britin!🔊 I wanted to travel there to learn but this adde work too,bucket list number 18☑️
I hope you can achieve it one day ❤
I love to speak in british accent but its kinda hard for me cus of im using american accent for long time..this video is so helpful..thanks Emma.❤️
How if ( r ) comes in the beginning of the word like read and review how it pronounced
Exactly what I was thinking haha. I think this is how the letters are pronounced as shown. You pronounce the letters slightly different depending on its position in a word or context.
Hello Emma, Thank you for teaching me How to Pronounce English Alphabets. I would like to pronounce like a British
I think it is the best online tutorial of Alphabet introduction ❤️
wow. I have never seen that kind of video. Honestly speaking I got so much new information which can help me to learn the British accent more accurately. Thank you so much for making this video.
Always I was pronunciating "r" as "aaar", thanks for the correction.
It’s no problem if you do :)
That's so true! As an Indian speaker
My 20 month old baby loves this video and it has really helped him. He can pronounce all of the letters a lot better now.
I am American. When I lived in the UK (both Scotland and England) the Hey-ch (or however you spell it) thing for the letter 'H' was universally used. I never ran into anyone who pronounced it the way we do in the US (eh-ch). Also I've heard some strange 'J's in Britain as well. One in particular was like ja-eye. The only two ways I've ever heard R pronounced are arrr like a pirate, and the rolling R they use in Scotland that sounds pretty much like the Spanish R. In some areas of Scotland the letter 'T' is so softly pronounced in words it is barely detectable .... like butter becomes buah-er with the ever so slightest hint of a T in there. Overall though the way you pronounced your British alphabet is very very close to the American standard way of doing it. The only exceptions I noticed were the R and Z(ed).
Thank you so much
Of course it does. I'd just like to thank you for being a contribution that saved me a number in IELTS which is "R" but I heard it was A. So,congratulations again for saving my 1 number at final ielts exam.This fact you could mention in your uttering .
Great!
@@md.shahparan2905 ❤
I love British pronunciation very much 😍
Hbjnv is a good place to start if you
Thanks Emma, I'm going to use this in my class. I teach at an international school, so the students should know British as well as American English (what I speak). I have also noticed that a handful of my more advanced students don't have their letters down automatically. I would say that if you make the note on American pronunciation with the 'Z', it might be fair to note that the students saying 'ar' for 'R' are actually saying it correctly in American English.
I didn't mention American English because WHY should I constantly make comparisons between the two? As a teacher, I strongly believe you should recognise and teach your students to see all varieties as their own individual varieties and that it isn't just a constant comparison between "British and American". What about Canada? (They say Zed too). Or Australia? Or New Zealand? Or South Africa? Or Ireland? And so forth. This constant comparison between British and American, like they are the only two varieties that exist and should be compared, really needs to end. Realise that this is one variety I am showing and let it stand alone instead of forcing constant comparisons between this and "American English". Thank you. :)
Excellent class
I have started learning British accents from today...Hope your videos will help me to do this part. Thank you!
I love the British accent so much
THANK YOU EMMA JI MY VOCABULARY HAS IMPROVED A LOT AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am really good at British But I normally speak English and I am learning the British alphabet
British.... isn't a language 😵💫
@@Pronunciationwithemma ye Britsh is an accent not a language
The r was one of the first letters I noticed was very different in the Collins dictionary and the American Heritage dictionary, when I began to realize There Were thousands, ten thousand, even more variations, between the spelling of a word and its pronunciation. My Collins dictionary has a phonetic symbol like an hour glass, which indicates that, in Glasgow, for many words with an r, one correctly pronounces this letter as a long a. The American Heritage dictionary is more inclusive of this sound, which you described with the demonstrative 'that' in the phrase 'that r'. For example, the American Heritage dictionary says the word Professor is pronounced pri fes ir, with short vowels. In the Collins UA-cam 'Pronunciation of the English Word Professor', the last r is very soft.

A very lovely video for right pronunciations basic Alphabet of English language.
Jesus Christ this accent is just beautiful
Just the accent?
@@CarlosEnrique84 the girl too, of course haha
Thank you, dear Emma , for helping my younger sister with these pronunciations.
I never knew that the letter Z would be pronounced as Z (zed). See I'm a Latino American (Mexican descendant) and I live in Chicago and my last name is Zavala-Ramirez. How would my last name be pronounced in the British Z (zed)?
With /z/
You can pronounce it as "zed" or "zi"
Many people mispronounce the word pronunciation.Thanks to you,it may have been rectified.As of me,I corrected my 'h' and 'r'.

Anyone From India To Learn British Accent?

I love this video for pronunciation learning...Namaste from 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
Hi emma
So pretty the same as American English but you say zed instead of zee
EerieEcho Americans also don’t pronounce R like A
It's Zee only
It's correct
Zee just came out of no where. Zed the original pronunciation
Really important video. Thanks I enjoyed a lot and my niece too. The fact is the first thing she learnt in English is the alphabet ever since then she didn't stop spelling everything words like :
Apple , money, sun, cat or elephant.
You're incedribly thoughtful Emma 💋💋💋💋💋
My American friend was like "what is zed"
That was really worth listening.I am sure yours is the correct pronunciation.I haven't listened to anybody saying many of the alphabets correctly.
I am indian my dream learn english please help me
Never stop dreaming and learning😉 *british* english is amazing, hope you make your dreams come true.
@@punkfairy5360 thanks

you are so cute that's why I could not concenrate the video...
Very useful for us.Thank you so much madam
Thank you for a great learning resource ❤ Could you explain the meaning of lower dots in transcription? In IPA they are not taught as far as I know. Do they help divide syllables, words? Thank you.
They're to divide syllables :)
Ooh wow.... so rrrrr is not rrrr its aaaa
She is just saying it the British way. Americans pronounce it differently.
I said Zed usually but in this day I am saying zee I am not sure which one right but after this video. now I know it clearly (sry for bad English)
Every time I hear z pronounced zed I cringe so much as an american.
Comments like this make me cringe more but anyway...
