This was a random recommendation from UA-cam, and I couldn’t stop watching it. Watching someone break down the differences in accents is weirdly fascinating. 👍🏻
I am one of those crazy-obsessed with Sherlock fans who would watch an entire 4 hour video if you explained the accents and slangs of just one single episode haha! I’m serious!
Hello from Japan. It is for the first time comment. His accent is beautiful for me. I want to learn Benedict Cumberbatsch's british accent more. He is one of my favorite actor.
Your videos are great! I'm American, Southern. That "j" sound, like in news, that is dropped in most parts of America is kept in the South. We say that sound. There are many sounds in coastal-Southern (the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida) that are the same as RP. I would love to see you do some videos on the similarities between the Southern American and Engish. That would be fun.
I’ve been watching these videos and thinking the same. Would love to see such a video. We use a lot of the blended words and such too. Also noted many similarities between southern British accents and southern US accents. And I notice when he is saying words in American English, he tends to have a slight southern accent himself. Or at least moreso than not. I’m also from the southern US, btw.
I am a French guy who isn't very good in English but I want to be better. Your video is really good for me, I really want to use the British accent (because I find it so interesting and sexy) and you help me to recognize differences in sounds that my French ear has difficulty perceiving. (And I'm sorry about my mistakes)
It was only this morning when I was discussing with my sister about how versatile Benedict is with his accents and suddenly I see this video in my recommendations! Thanks for the video!
I've always loved learning new accents (which makes sense because my dad's a linguist) and my absolute favorite accent is British so thanks for breaking down Benedict's accept! I listen a lot to Benedict to try and replicate his accent and it really helps to have you break it down!
What a surprise! Thanks, you made me smile just today that I was feeling sad because John Peter Sloan ( maybe the most famous English teacher in Italy ) died at 51 😢 By the way, I loved The Imitation Game 👍
@@nursima9496 same because somewhere in the middle of my learning of English I realised that there is British accent and American accent and I decided to try to learn British pronouncing
I love Benedict Cumberbatch ! He is a great actor, he is so genuine and he seems so nice. Thank you so much for this video ! I love listening to Benedict's voice and learning about the different accents ! Your video is amazing !
It would be really interesting to see a video of an accent of someone who either studied in English medium growing up in a non English speaking country (yours truly) or who learnt English as a second language. To see what nuances and types of inflections s/he would have picked up
Thank you. I who am of British parents and many British extended family was born and raised in Canada. However, being exclusively influenced by the accent they have/had....Enfield Middlesex...have myself an inherent British quality to my own speech. I tend to enunciate most if not all hard consonants. I tend to throw my voice in louder, concise and clearer tones than my fellow Canadians. I rarely slur or blend. I think it must be that my heritage has instilled a sense of pride in the English Language or better still "proper Kings English". And I maintain a sense of pride in that. I am no scholar by far, but I revel in the use of good grammer and having and building a good vocabulary. I am proud to be Canadian, but prouder to be of good British decent. I am a fan of Mr. Benedict Cumberbatch.
I *thought* I knew English well, because it's my first language, ... but I'm American. Turns out I can learn a TON from this channel. Time to learn accents!
British accents always have been hard for me to understand, because I leaned English with someone with American accent (it's my 2nd language), so I'm loving your channel because get to really understand and learn about British accents!! Also, I'd love to watch Tom Hiddlestone
I absolutely adore RP! I first learned about it from actor Patrick Stewart. Tom, I teach English to immigrant adults in the US. I just found your channel and truly enjoy it. I have to say that my cousins, who grew up in the city but just 30 miles from where I grew up, say their words differently from me. For example, I say Monday, Tuesday, etc. They say Mon-dy, Tues-dy, etc. Drives me nuts! Thanks for your postings.
I'm from Indonesia and English is my second language. My accent is pretty messy, got a little bit of British, American, Australian and even Indian sometimes. Watching your videos is so fun and it helps me a lot. You just gained a subscriber ✌🏼
With Benedict and you much more easier to learn english 💜 Thank you! He is my secret love, because of him I started to learn english..... I am in the beginning by the way 😅
He did such a great job especially those long lines full of lines that were jammed packed with info/analysis. Just ncredible how he could do that. I just loved his longer curly hair..
Could you please make a video about Ed Westwick’s accents (he also switches between American and his british accent while acting ,which i think is really cool to see) really like you’re videos btw! They really help me achieve a british accent myself ❤️
I Love British modern English. American accent is usually strong. Some Americans from the North speak soft English. Funny thing. 48 percent of English is Latin and French Latin...
Triphthongs are constanrly used in a southern US accent. And we do a lot of that dropping the T between words where the next is a consonant thing. And a LOT of blending words.. for example, “at least” is “t’lees,” “yes sir” is “yessa,” “yes ma’am” is “yessum,” “isn’t it” is “in’t,” etc etc etc
absolutely well done! greatly detailed video, loved watching it. i also mirror accents a lot, to the point i often have to put it out in the open so people don't think i'm making fun of them 😂
Benedict Cumberbatch is an accomplished actor who can perfectly adapt himself to different accents due to his training (London has plenty of drama schools like Sylvia Young etc.) Regarding Harrow, it's a public school (elitist private school just for boys, another famous example would be Eton, they only exist in England, not in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland) that reminds me of the famous and succesful film "Dead poets society" with Robin Williams released in 1989. All the best from Spain and I hope to visit London soon again (My first time there was in December 2005) Carlos M.S.
This is the first time I've really identified a difference between Canadian and American accents. In Canada, we pronounce the "o" and "tume" in costume like a hybrid between the southern English and American accents.
I'm French (so I learned "British" English at school) and I'm glad to notice that my accent hasn't been spoiled by Hollywood and American TV shows. I naturally pronounce most of these words in the British way 🤗
So interesting. I grew up in the southern state of Louisiana in America but have very little southern accent any longer but watching this I find that the way I pronounce a lot of words is more like the English version than the American version such as; costume - the pronunciation of that ‘u’ sound.
Hello Tom, thank you for your videos, you are a great teacher: I really appreciate how you explain the features of pronunciation and the differences between the various English accents by showing how the various sounds are pronounced. You are very clear. I have just followed you but I am learning a lot.
So useful !!! I am Japanese teaching English. Thank you for your very interesting footage^^! In Japan, we can't have enough opportunity to learn the difference between Americam E from British English^^!
That's awesome! Well I hope this helps Nao. I have done lots of other videos teaching the difference between UK vs USA English - ua-cam.com/video/Pc8SrmvIE3s/v-deo.html
Love Benedict Cumberbatch. He's an amazing actor.
He is great, isn't he? Hope you enjoy the video!
超级喜欢BC，聪明勇敢低调有才华！
Also not bad on the eyes.
Hey guess what!!! YOU SPELLED HIS NAME RIGHT!! you get a prize
Tellement d'accord avec toi ! ^^
( So agree with you! )
Yeah I'm a French fan of Benedict Cumberbact ! B3
I see Benedict Cumberbatch and I click... ❤️
That's what it's about really
Me too😂
same here hhhaaa
I hope he got paid for using his name.
Me too😍
I like the way he changes his accents for different roles. He is really versatile.
yeah
He did the American English one, and I couldn't breath for a few seconds...
@@skylarspalding3696 i like his english in british
who would like a season 5 of sherlock?
Only if there is a Johnlock kiss :)
Only if it is better than season 4
What I means is season four suck
I actually think that (as a whole) the series ended pretty well in the last season. I don't see the need to do one more.
Go To Fa Lo Grace99 everyone, but at least they ended season 4 in a way that closes the book fully
Can he say "Penguins"?
Repeat after him: peng-wings
lol
He can 😂😂
Pengwun was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail.

Luna Holmes-Watson If he doesn’t upload the video I’m requesting I will burn the hearrrrrrrrrt out of him...
I would
I followed "Sherlock" in Netflix and love Benedict 's voice and british pronounciation... Grateful to take English lessons with this great actor!
No.1 Favorite Actor. His amazing.
I love Benedict as Sherlock, he's the best since Basil R. But then, I love him in anything. 🥀💕😷
Next, Tom Hiddleston or Tom Holland please... 🙏🤗😍❣️
And Tom Hardy. Just so we've got three Toms.
Tom hiddleston yesss
TOM HIDDLESTON YES
Hiddleston😍
@@cuteanddorky2pm717 your photo profile is Nickhun 😍
Please do Eddie Redmayne next! He sounds really posh but he also did an amazing Texan accent in one of his early films.
me: *actually know nothing in linguistics*
also me: *watching this, trying to understand all the definitions of sounds and talking like cumberbatch*
Finally the the video we all waited for is here !!
Yeeeessss! Hope you enjoy it : )

Benedict Cumberbatch is the best . Thank you for this amazing lesson.

What a surprise!
Thanks, you made me smile just today that I was feeling sad because John Peter Sloan ( maybe the most famous English teacher in Italy ) died at 51 😢
By the way, I loved The Imitation Game 👍
I am sad too! I remember when I was 10 years old and I used to watch his videos! He was so fun! And he lived in Sicily, where I was born 🇮🇹
My favourite of Benedict's works, too.
me too
Benedict is an amazing actor!
Me, realizing that I speak with more of a British accent than an American
Yeah! I'm not a native but my accent most likely to British

I grew up in Southern California. We've always said costume with that yod-coalescence. Cost-yoom. And in many other ways.
Alison McIntosh same here and I’m from Ohio
Yeah, Kimmel is sounding very East-Coast on that word to me. Like NYC-Boston area.
I love british accent! And of course, Benedict Cumberbatch!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love Benedict, I've been waiting for this video for so long! Thank you very much!!! ❤❤❤
Woohoo! Hope you enjoyed it Celeste : )
I love everything about Benedict Cumberbatch. He is brilliant ❤
Thank you so much for the video! ❤
This is interesting... I was just thinking how good would it be if you made a video about Benedict Cumberbatch and this popped up!
Great! I love it when life (and UA-cam) does that :)
It's 2 a.m in my country and I'm watching this... My love for Benedict Cumberbatch is unquestionable
I love these videos where you compare AE vs BE pronunciation. So interesting.
Awesome! I've just done one with Tom Hardy's accent - ua-cam.com/video/9hWPotxfneY/v-deo.html
I never realized I said news with a "j" sound until now. Pretty interesting.
Thanks!
I have watched many of Benedict's works before Star Trek and dr. Strange. Imitation Game, Sherlock, The Fifth Estate, even Zoolander.
I love this type of video !! It's great !!
Benedict cumberbatch is a real genius when it comes to accents wow !
He is very good at doing them, I totally agree Emilie : )

very useful thank you. i’m in love with british accent
Benedict did a great Massachusetts accent when he played Billy Bulger in the mob movie, "Black Mass".
BC is a great actor in many films with many accents! But I'm an American who LOVES his RP!
I always try to pronounce bith ways just by imitating both Br.E and Amr.E. Now I know the reasons being.. Tqvm
A lot of informal English accents normally drop t’s from words. Water becomes wa’er, better is be’er, not is no’,
thank you for choosing my suggestion:)
Thanks for the idea!

As a german person, I really begin to dislike the american accent and realize that I speak in a british accent-
