You're most probably from a country where English is widely spoken but is not a first language. Because they tend to adopt whatever parts of the accent suits them, so it will be a mix. I'm just assuming, I might be completely wrong.
@@amj.composer yes, you're totally right about that. even in my city, every courses have different accents so you must choose what accents that you wanna learn
The problem for most non-native speakers is that they probably learned British english pronounciation at school but forgot it later because they mostly had contact with American english speakers. The result is a strange mixture that exposes you immediately, even if you actually speak English quite well.
*It is English language-language of England not an American language-language of America which doesn't exist* English is pronounced how English people prononce not how Americans do
Another factor is that USA is one of the biggest exporters of pop culture to countries with English as an official and/or a commonly used language, but consisting of non-native speakers, like South Asia and parts of Africa. So even though we learn the British variation of English in school, the "native" accent we most commonly come across in film or audio is the American one. Philippines might be an exception to this as they have a history of American occupation, so the variation of English they learn is probably the American one.
Like Nancy. Why the British still sound fast in slow mo? You all must talk super fast lol Or it just sounds that way to me. Sometimes they say other languages will sound faster to you when they are really not. But you all speak English too just you say lots of words different I guess
I'm a non native speaker, but I've learned English by exposing my self to American content, so I pronounce words much more similar to the American accent. It is very interesting for me to identify my accent in a second language :)
It ain't that hard, you just gotta learn to speak your native language with an English accent then you gonna be able to apply it to actual English sentences! 😉
Sebastian Ardila Yeah, and they say in German. It's just dumb. This word has a religious, fraternal or literal meaning. I highly doubt you try to fraternize with everyone you talk to.
Thank you so much for these videos. The slow motion sounds allow to really hear what is being said. French speaking person here, living in the US for 30+ years.
I'm brazilian, my english teatcher said that I'm always merging american and british accents in my phrases. That's because I've learned english listening Elvis Presley and The Beatles since my childhood.
when my son lived in japan, he found that most Japanese wanted to learn British English. He had many American friends who like him taught English but found it hard to get work.
But when it is not your first language, you need to pronounce it really accurate to make people understand. On the other hand, if you use American accent, even if you mix in some of your own accent, people still understand. I am from Asia, and when my teacher tries to use British accent but not quite accurately pronounced, I can't understand them.
@@youeclipseall Yeah that's true. But think when you have a good accent which is truly amazing to find in Asia, It is definitely worth to learn the British accent rather than relying on American. It always makes me full of spirit.
@@maniquielsilva7030 yes, but despite that, I heard from British people, that if u don't wanna get a hard way, it's recommendable practice American accent and themselves said that it's pretty clear.
@clement Asampana No, don't lie. Original language was several centuries ago. In America and in England was one version of the language and it became to evolve. And now we have 2 evolved versions of one language and we can judge that an American version is so much better. English from England ISN'T original one, so don't say that stupid nonsense. You just make me sure for an additional time that Englishmen are arrogant and stupid.
@clement Asampana No, Englishmen speak like uneducated Americans, it's a fact. You talk completely stupid and arrogant nonsense. English from England isn't an original version, humble yourself. What are your arguments? Territory? At all? Only the territory is your argument? So, it means you aren't right. People are laughing at you(I've shown your comment to other people). So, stop write nonsense to me.
@clement Asampana 1 - The USA made English international, not England. People watch americans movies, play americans games, use americans services and etc. Not England's. 2 - I've already proved modern England's English isn't original. 3 - Americans more frankly and more friendly than Englishmen, I know several Americans and one of them is my friend(not English "friend", because your "friend" means nothing). 4 - I really think you write to me only because you want to prove me my words.
@clement Asampana I thought I made mistakes and you could notice that English isn't my native language, but you thought I'm American, ok. I don't hate Englishmen. I just took two versions of the language what I learn, compared them and made a conclusion that American version a lot better than British. You're ignorant, not me. I've already told you how English became an international language. You don't want to believe it, because you're too arrogant but this is true. For example Russia had Poland and Finland, but they don't speak Russian, so, a language spread not throug colonialism. You have to understand, English ≠ England. It isn't your language now, you're just one of those who use it in their own way. Don't think that all what was reached by English belongs to England, no.

Yeah, I’m from Birmingham but when I went to America ppl were like “OMG r u from London!” I was just like I’m from Birmingham and they were so confused because they don’t know anything about Birmingham
Personally, I love the British Accent, which seems a classy and pure version of Language. And I feel lucky, We grew up learning British English in school (India). It sounds much better.
@@tansiachristensen8699 I guess so. English is the second language and main language at work for me. So I spent mostly of my weekdays at work communicating in English, I also like Hollywood shows and movies which adds up in the English vocabulary. I think your English is good too. I would love to help you in learning more if you want.
yeah.... the video is shit mate. i am british but saying there is a british accent is dumb and i know its exactly the same for you guys in america. i am scottish and we speak nothing like the english and welsh. the video is garbage.
@@keepXonXrockin Yes he mentions that it's a specific accent, but the video as a whole is still misleading. He should have either chosen someone with a "standard American accent" (actors are good examples), or used different persons for his examples instead of sticking to one. And I'm sure it's similarly misleading as regards the "British" accent.
In the "lot" vowel example is easily hearable the differences in pronouncing the /t/. It's clear how May says the /t/ while Trump uses a tap. This is explained in the difference n°4. This can also be heard in the "duty" example
@@fisher7781 I'm interested in one thing: are there some words in American or British dialects that are spelled different than in official English language? And by words I don't mean truck/lorry or taxi/cab, but words like verb or adjective. Because there are bunch of those in Croatian language..
I hear both the accent and can understand. I love the way British speak slowly n emphasize on each word they are pronouncing This video is excellent. Pronounc
Negative F another example of a American who thinks they are the best in the world and are angry about other people's right to have their own opinion really is disgraceful
I am from Turkey and i can say that since there isn't really much of a speaking lesson in our schools (we just learn the grammar and shit then get into an exam where we just write) we learn how to talk from the internet. Movies, videos, video games and so on. We learn speaking from what we hear on the internet. I think most of the non native people have that. I just realized that i have accepted some from British and some from American accent. I say water with the T like a British but say the R like an American. It is wo-t-r for me.
*It is English language-language of England not an American language-language of America which doesn't exist* English is pronounced how English people prononce not how Americans do
I'm Italian, I've being living in Florida for 1 year, so I've got an American accent, I like both American and British pronuntation, but some times it's hard for me to understand a British person, I don't no if it happens only to me or at the American too
@Not_A_Gamer Really ? In my country, most of teachers teach their students British accents. These are most of English accents you can ex hear in the IELTS Listening test as well.
I'm Brazilian, I speak portuguese as my first language and english as a second, and technically, for the portuguese speakers, the British accent would be an easier way to speak e english, but still, the american accent sounds a lot more natural to me; honestly, I don't think I can speak with a British accent, I just can't
I have an American accent. I thought this video was put together so well, I managed to suppress my impulse to dry-heave each time Donald Trump appeared and opened his dumb mouth. On the topic of the letter "R," I find the "intrusive R" found in some British accents (and even some East coast American accents) to be a fascinating phenomenon. British actors seem very skilled at imitating American accents on the whole, but the "intrusive R" is one of those "tells" that makes me suspect an actor playing a character with an American accent may not speak with an American accent natively.
I think the best way to learn an accent is to live for a certain amount of time in the place where it is used. I've never been in the United States or Great Britain and only travelled across other european countries and spoke English with other non native speakers so I learned the pronounce from many different youtubers both from USA and GB. So the result is a funny mix of Italian accent (I'm from Italy) and texan/british pronunciation 😂 (texan because the first youtuber I've ever binge watched for months without captions was Grav3yardgirl, and british because I try to imitate the beautiful and perfect speech of John MacLean.)
Great video! As a non native English speaker, it's really interesting for me to see those differences. Also, I'm French, and even if I speak English since years, happens that I drop the h. So I'm amused to see that sometimes Americans drop the h too
MOST well spoken Americans pronounce the 'H' most of the time. Look at these pages if you don't believe me! There are some exceptions, of course. Languages are not consistent. dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/human dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/huge dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/humor jakubmarian.com/list-of-words-with-a-silent-h-in-english/
eniramGD Most people in Britain don’t speak with that accent. There are many regional accents in Britain and the accent in this video is an invented “standard” accent and only spoken by a minority of British people, and most of those are in just the South East of England

0:29 America: O Say can you see!

Sooooo trueee lol

Aishah Khalifa omg i love Bradfords accent! #zaynmalik😂

Yeah, I’m from Birmingham but when I went to America ppl were like “OMG r u from London!”
I was just like I’m from Birmingham and they were so confused because they don’t know anything about Birmingham

It doesn't matter what accent use but speak with emotion and bottom of heart
So Indians follow British accent , though we can't talk in any accent other than indian accents
not actually...
Saw them tried. And they failed. Their accents are effortless.
Alpert,
If you want argument, you should've said so. I do, have my own accent.
Did you mean:
"British or Indian?"
Correction: Indians do not follow British accent , Indians follow British English and use their own distinct accents
I dont know why, when im watching indian youtubers.. It makes me laugh cos hearing theyre accent
British sounds more gentle than American accent.
Except it's shit
@@wanderer9347 Are you saying this because you can't get the accent right?
@@mrprettycheeze probably
But british people not gentle at all
Yeah because we Americans go hard! lol I think British sounds more fancy frou frou prissy but American sounds more easy and clear to understand
As a non-native speaker, I constantly (and unconsciously) switch between the American and the British accent.
exactly. Same here.
You are the best English teacher I have ever found in my life! Fantastico!
Personally, I love the British Accent, which seems a classy and pure version of Language.
And I feel lucky, We grew up learning British English in school (India). It sounds much better.
Luck you.
@@tansiachristensen8699 Hehe. Thanks. It wasn't easy but rather quite a headache learning English since kindergarten upto Highschool.
@@mukesh_srivastav it is Awsome.I guess you're pretty great to it isn't ? I would love to learn a bit more English
@@tansiachristensen8699 I guess so. English is the second language and main language at work for me. So I spent mostly of my weekdays at work communicating in English, I also like Hollywood shows and movies which adds up in the English vocabulary.
I think your English is good too. I would love to help you in learning more if you want.
@@mukesh_srivastav alright So nice of you.Thanks I appreciate a lot, I will send you a mesenge Tomorrow.Thanks Cheers bye
British accent is sooooo beautiful ❤
GREAT VIDEO. One thing to note though, Trump speaks with a New York accent that general population doesn't have.
Quynh Nguyen He mentions it's a specific accent 5:19
He has a queens NY accent. I have a heavy Brooklyn NY accent. His NY accent isn't that heavy.
Quynh Nguyen 😏. It would be two things to note as Most ppl in the U.K. Do not have the same accent as Theresa May either.
yeah.... the video is shit mate. i am british but saying there is a british accent is dumb and i know its exactly the same for you guys in america. i am scottish and we speak nothing like the english and welsh. the video is garbage.
@@keepXonXrockin Yes he mentions that it's a specific accent, but the video as a whole is still misleading. He should have either chosen someone with a "standard American accent" (actors are good examples), or used different persons for his examples instead of sticking to one.
And I'm sure it's similarly misleading as regards the "British" accent.
In the "lot" vowel example is easily hearable the differences in pronouncing the /t/. It's clear how May says the /t/ while Trump uses a tap. This is explained in the difference n°4. This can also be heard in the "duty" example
Trump is here to : make American accent great again.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!
🖕🖕🖕🖕 your American accent. British accent it easy to speak.
Lmao
@@fisher7781 I'm interested in one thing: are there some words in American or British dialects that are spelled different than in official English language? And by words I don't mean truck/lorry or taxi/cab, but words like verb or adjective. Because there are bunch of those in Croatian language..
@@knpvcro many words ending in -our in Britain, have an -or ending in America. EXAMPLE: colour/color, behaviour/behavior, neighbour/neighbor.
By the way, those two anthems were frightening.
A lot of work has been put on this video. It's very well crafted. We need more such videos on UA-cam.
I hear both the accent and can understand. I love the way British speak slowly n emphasize on each word they are pronouncing
This video is excellent.
Pronounc
British English is so better and beautiful.
You can't change my mind.
I agree
@@nursmalik6024 thanks.
🇺🇲
@@wanderer9347 whoa chill
Negative F another example of a American who thinks they are the best in the world and are angry about other people's right to have their own opinion really is disgraceful
I love British accent; sounds more cultured than American accent.
That's because they are more cultured
Diegopiffa most of them maybe... but the top Americans are smarter than the top British.
@@raulantunez4228 haha Jonny joke
@@raulantunez4228 they are good. But yeah america is better
fuck america, they are bastards
I am from Turkey and i can say that since there isn't really much of a speaking lesson in our schools (we just learn the grammar and shit then get into an exam where we just write) we learn how to talk from the internet. Movies, videos, video games and so on. We learn speaking from what we hear on the internet. I think most of the non native people have that. I just realized that i have accepted some from British and some from American accent. I say water with the T like a British but say the R like an American. It is wo-t-r for me.
I Read like *British*
Sometime pronounced *American*
Laugh like *Australian*
And Cry like *Japanese* 😂
subtitles popping up when ya crying?
*It is English language-language of England not an American language-language of America which doesn't exist*
English is pronounced how English people prononce not how Americans do
Lol
"Americans" are all people who live in the American continent, not just in the United States
English: waTer
American: waDer
Korean: H20
we don’t say wader we say water.
@@jylghjz4192 exactly
English: Water, wader, wa:er
Russian: Vodka, Wodka
Indonesian: Air
😂
Indonesian: woterr
This is really super complete, thanks a lot, strongly clear
Great to hear 😊
I'm Italian, I've being living in Florida for 1 year, so I've got an American accent, I like both American and British pronuntation, but some times it's hard for me to understand a British person, I don't no if it happens only to me or at the American too
I first lived in Ireland and later in England. I had a hard time understanding American English, also in series. I am German btw.
My accent is a combination of like 5 different accents from around the world
hhhhhhhh lool
American accent is easier for me ❤
Marina Beacroft Yesssss !!!
True!! American accent is kinda easy.
@Not_A_Gamer I'm from Vietnam
@Not_A_Gamer Really ? In my country, most of teachers teach their students British accents. These are most of English accents you can ex hear in the IELTS Listening test as well.
@Not_A_Gamer Why do you say so and where are you from ?
Excellent video, with such hard work of editing and cutting every single clip. Very useful! Congrats
British accent is beautiful, authentic and soothing.. thats my personal opinion only..😍
exactly... it's more polite ♥
Sounds more pure.

Great video!
Just watched you and i was in stitches. Very well done

So stupid

In another video (where British, American and Australian were compared), I’ve seen/heard Aussies using the last one 😉
Same🤣🤣
I've always love british more 😍😍😍 also for me it's easier to pronounce and understand than american
It is shit
Negative f are you Another edgy Angelo phobe? or a troll?
I'm french and I prefer the British accent, it is easier for me. So when I speak english, I take generally a British accent.
Same ecxept that I'm german :)
Boi, I have a lot of french friends and they struggle with the American *R* 😂 so I guess the british english is okay 😂
@@ikbenlucas8238 yeah, that's right
Ik ben lucas I have a lot of American friends and they struggle with the french « r »!
@@avahunziker5923 also with the dutch R and german R. I am not american so it doesn't matter ^^ it's easy for me 😂😥
Thank you for such a great video. I love it how you make those slow cuts to hear the difference clearly. So cool!
I'm Brazilian, I speak portuguese as my first language and english as a second, and
technically, for the portuguese speakers, the British accent would be an easier way to speak e english, but still, the american accent sounds a lot more natural to me; honestly, I don't think I can speak with a British accent, I just can't
I wish you would teach me English 🥰
I have an American accent. I thought this video was put together so well, I managed to suppress my impulse to dry-heave each time Donald Trump appeared and opened his dumb mouth. On the topic of the letter "R," I find the "intrusive R" found in some British accents (and even some East coast American accents) to be a fascinating phenomenon. British actors seem very skilled at imitating American accents on the whole, but the "intrusive R" is one of those "tells" that makes me suspect an actor playing a character with an American accent may not speak with an American accent natively.
fansi pantz I'm still throwing up at the sight and sound of that asshole!
Trump has a Queens NY accent. I live in Brooklyn and I know trump was from Queens NY when I first heard him talk.
I like American accent because it's easy and straightforward and personally I found it more pleasant to hear.
YES finally a normal human being
@@wanderer9347 Took you a while huh?
yay :))) as an American that makes me happy! Haha
@@DixieFaukner well yea you are clearly not a normal human beings
Nah, u sound dumb speaking it
Nice to see the effort you put for this. It was quite an awesome video.
I have an american accent, although at school we are taught british😅
😘
same🤣
Your name sounds czech. If I am right - I know what you are talking about. Same with me :D
@@TeeKay1990 almost correct, I am Russian 😅
@@Eva-sv6zw
Love mother Russia from India
I think the best way to learn an accent is to live for a certain amount of time in the place where it is used. I've never been in the United States or Great Britain and only travelled across other european countries and spoke English with other non native speakers so I learned the pronounce from many different youtubers both from USA and GB. So the result is a funny mix of Italian accent (I'm from Italy) and texan/british pronunciation 😂 (texan because the first youtuber I've ever binge watched for months without captions was Grav3yardgirl, and british because I try to imitate the beautiful and perfect speech of John MacLean.)
Great video! As a non native English speaker, it's really interesting for me to see those differences.
Also, I'm French, and even if I speak English since years, happens that I drop the h. So I'm amused to see that sometimes Americans drop the h too
eniramGD we learned it from the French. French had a HUGE impact on our language.
Jessica Ely because you have no personality and anything can influence your language xD
Jessica Ely
Bravo! Very well said.
Mau Pr, I have a question for you. Did you mean; "personality," or is it "originality?"
MOST well spoken Americans pronounce the 'H' most of the time. Look at these pages if you don't believe me! There are some exceptions, of course. Languages are not consistent.

eniramGD Most people in Britain don’t speak with that accent. There are many regional accents in Britain and the accent in this video is an invented “standard” accent and only spoken by a minority of British people, and most of those are in just the South East of England
