Could the German language have influenced the RP accent? The Hanoverian dynasty was German, and Queen Victoria spoke German before she spoke English. In standard High German, there is no short "a" sound, as in "apple.," and German-speakers sometimes pronounce the short "a" as a short "e, " saying "apple" as "epple," "shack" as "sheck," etc.
@@natianatia351 But it doesn't necessarily mean that any Germanesque pronunciation will take root. Take for instance the tens of thousands of Germans, from all over Germany (regional accents diversity), and from all social classes (same diversity) that flocked to England in the lead up to WW2. Nowhere has it been stated that English people were starting to pick up on some Germanesque ways of pronunciating certain words. Much more importantly, the millions of Germans that continuously emigrated to the USA did not change the local accents (Texan drawl just stayed the same, etc.). It takes someone very influential, like Queen Victoria, for people to start aping her pronunciation. Had she been only the wife of some Duke or Baron or whomever, it would have never taken off. Perhaps it might have even been ridiculed. So, it's not the features of the foreign language per se, but the importante and influence of a specific person. Imagine Queen Victoria coming from Spanish or Italian background, den peepol might ehstar eemeetaytin di aksen.

German might have ended up impacting the speaking of English , in certain parts of America , such as say various regions of Pennsylvania , where I as a Pennsylvanian German am originally from . It's just that years of prejudice against such a Germanized dialect , especially stemming from the two subsequent world wars , has served to discourage the prominence of this particular accent . Still , among some people , such as my father , and his siblings , you can still hear this rather quaint way of pronunciation . It's just that for one thing it is considered by the general population to sound rather rustic and strange , and also for those of us who had failed to learn how to properly pronounce the "th" syllable , as a considerable number of foreigners have difficulty doing , when it comes to speaking English , our manner of speech was deemed by the schools as constituting a pathology that should be corrected by spending time in speech therapy . So now I have in time developed new more socially accepted patterns of speaking , that are not so stigmatizing .
Beautifully described all of them with enjoyable accents and watching your charming videos!!! Our support to your hardworking will always be appreciated.
Dear Katharine! I took your advice and watched the movie "My Fair Lady " again, 40 years later, but in English without translation. It's a fantastic feeling and a fantastic movie as well!! THANKS so much for your advice!!! It's AMAZING!! I'm really appreciate your lessons and your SPARKLES!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Why is it every time I watch your videos, I get dragged into some ‘Pride and Prejudice’ way of life? I just finished watching the 2005 movie because of your influence and looking forward to watching the 1995 BBC series. Last time I read the book was in 1979 and may read it again. Anyway, I now know the difference between the RP and modern RP accents. This was a great learning video. But I have to admit, I love the modern RP accent more so than the RP accent. It is more balanced in politeness, directness, and pronunciation. I am glad you enjoyed your Christmas. Have a Happy New Year! And I am looking forward your 2024 videos.
Hahah I like knowing about the journeys you go on after watching! Love pride & prejudice! Thank you so much for your supportive comments on my videos this year 🤗 Happy new year to you & all your loved ones! 🌟✨🌟✨🌟
@@englishwithkatharine So now we have two standards to follow, General British English (modern RP) and General American English (mid-western USA - central Ohio). Good to know.
The year 2023 has not been so wonderful...but you, Kat, stood out as the best surprise ever! Your politeness, your smile, your eyes, your beauty have been a ray of sun in a dark night! Thank you for bringing us so much joy in learning a fantastic language! I know that 2024 will be even better because of you and your splendid videos! I wish you a memorable year full of everything you long for and I'm sure you will get it! Take care and never change the way you are! Many kisses from Rome, Kat!
Hi Kate, as usual you have made a very good video, with an interesting subject about RP, the queen would be very grateful to you, well done❤ Have a wonderful Yuletide
Dear Katharine, thanks for teaching & giving us more modern royal RP accent information on which is quite wierd to hear and pronounce them as well like the royal family. Anyway, it was good to know the way they speak. I am very keen on different type of the uk accents using up & down the country such as cookney, scouse. We will be pleased to have these accents lessons. Looking forward to watching them by 2024. May the new year of 2024 bless you as well as all fans/students from all over the entire world with health, wealth, and happiness...Take it easy! See you next year🎉🍾🍻💃🕺🎇🎆🎉🥳 Hasan from Izmir, TURKEY
Oh gosh, I received this video rather late and I wished that it had arrived earlier... 😮 Anyways, it's absolute pleasure seeing you in the new year and hope that it will be an amazing year of endless opportunities to learn English from you and we couldn't have got any better place than your channel where the true English language was originated.. 🙏 🙏 Pleasant day, awesome year and keep spreading your good vibes to the world... 🌍😘🌹✌️ Hugs.xoxoxo Gams ❤️ (Sri Lanka)

Utterly delightful....thank you. Interestingly, I lived in the South East of England for a while and picked up the RP pronunciation unknowingly! Hilarious....
Dear Katharine, I want to thank you for your commitment, your kindness and dedication to us. I hope 2024 be a great year to you and you achieve goals and dreams. You're such a great teacher, I am flattered to be your student. Best wishes from Brazil ❤
Very interesting video. About the W sound at the beginning of words, if you listen to recordings of FDR, he pronounced words that begin with "wh" the same way, with a blowing sound.
Deh...er KEHTHEERIN...... thehnk you for your veedeho. I did enjoy it very much. Today I have learnt a lot, these facts were completely unknown to me. Languages have always been my passion. Born in an Spanish-speaking country from Italian parents, lived in Canada and being a proud Canadian citizen and now living in the land of my parents you can imagine how important is your video for me. I thank you again for this invaluable knowledge. Cheers Carlos
❤ Hello our beautiful teacher, I like your personality and your beautiful smile. Your lessons are very useful to me, and I love you very much. Good luck and beautiful wishes.
Hi Kath, hope you celebrated Xmas with your dear ones. The year 2023 is coming to close. Let us welcome the year ahead. Longing to watch your lovely videos. You are bubbly and vivacious 🥰
Hello, Katharine. I reckon that the very distinct aspect of your channel from all the other English educational ones is that you are telling us the background or history of the language in very comprehensive and interesting ways. I really like that. Thank you for providing us with useful and charming programs 😘
Hi Katherine, my lovely, my Friday's sunbeam, my eardrums' delight, my Rose of England, 🙂 Sorry for the short comment this time but the thing is I'm a bit lost for words at the moment. I'm still under the spell of this new and extrôôôrdinary video. This is a gem and a royal gift. You truly did a fantastic job! 🙏👍👏👏👏 I laughed so much at your so funny and irresistible imitation of the Queen : 'They sound like two cehts being strehngled!' 😂🤣 And yet, this was only for the Everly Brothers. Now, imagine her reaction to her hearing of The Sex pistols, Judas, Motorhead, Megadeth, Slayer or Metallica ... 😂😂🤣 Now, I need to watch again the whole video a couple of more times to relish it again Merci Katherine, thanks Fair Princess, Love, bisous 🥰🌹
Many thanks - jolly well done. I would just like to add ("edd") my recommendation of "Brief Encounter" as the finest of all films to illustrate the old school RP accent.
Saying most English words starting with 'wh-' as if they began with 'hw-' is very old. It survives in many parts of the Eastern US and the primitive American South, but all in those areas speak that way either. The habit comes from Angle, Saxon, and Friesian sources and even survives in Scandinavian languages as 'hv-' Think of 'hvaal' or 'whale' or 'hwale'. The exceptions to that 'hw-' pronunciation are all but one word starting 'wh-' followed by 'o' as in 'who, whose, whom, whole;' No 'w' there. The one exception there is with 'Whoa' telling horses or others to stop. That comes out correctly as 'Hwoh'.
😂😂😂 I watched an amazing video. It was a funny lesson and lovely seeing you. 😅 I learned about British Culture and History English concerning the RP. Thank you so, so very much again for the excellent, awesome, funny video and a lot for fantastic speech with your conversation. Happy New Year. Welcome to 2024! I hope you have had a wonderful new year with lots of health and happiness! In addition moreover holiday. Greetings from Amaan.
This video is about RP which is not my accent. Just so we are clear on that 😅 I speak with my friends and family in the same way as all my other videos where I speak in MODERN RP yes 👍
Hello, and thank you again for, for your interesting upload video, now is midnight in Japan, and in the northern part is snowing, so, it makes me feel warmer to listen to you. Tomorrow my wife and I we are going to buy the ingredients, for making a very tasty shrimp 🍤 soup, but before that, we are going to have, smoked salmon with cuts of olives and white onion cuts, etc..etc..for the new year..maybe you know (sopa de gambas) and how are you going to recibe the new year? In Mexico sometimes some people say, we do not want a new one, give and old but nice one!, ( make sense)? Greetings from a Mexican person living in Japan…
I wish you a happy New Year, Katharine! Well even if I'm often torn between various British accents (don't wanna say which I don't like so much) and Irish accent, RP is one of the accents I love the most. Sometimes I'd rather make me an accent out of different accents from the UK and Ireland. Actually I know it's impossible and that it would take me a lifetime. :) Your video was great, love your energy and your effort you always take in your videos. It cheers me up because your enthusiasm is so authentic.

Good evening Katherine. As always also this video is interesting. Thank you for everything you make for us. Have you a happy new year and I see you next video❤.
I’ve already watched Four weddings & a funeral long time ago, now Im gonna watch My fair Lady & Casablanca maybe one day Thank you Katharine and Im so happy to see you again ❤
Is a pleasure for me like a person non native english, listen speak England english. because I don´t find listening American english attractive. Thanks for yours videos !! Greetings from Argentina !!
Dear Katharine, greetings from France! What a splendid video today! It’s been a pleasure to discover your channel this year as all of your videos are so fantastic and informative. Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work! BTW when I started learning English it was in a Russian primary school back in the 70s, we were taught to pronounce words exactly the way you describe the old RP or like the Queen would say them “thenk you, I ehm”, etc. Just a very remarkable fact 😊 Wishing you a very happy New Year! 🎉
Hello, Katharine! ❤️ How’ve been doing? 🥰 I simply loved the Christmas video that you posted last Friday, but I had been caught up with some hectic chores at home, just for Christmas. 😄 I was curious and wondering what Christmas actually feels like and what it really is in England because I have never come across a real Christmas in my lifetime, I promise. How embarrassing it sounds, but it’s not anyone’s fault, it’s simply not celebrated more commonly as there is only a small fraction of Christianity exists. 😔 So, I was so elated to see you last Friday with a precise explanation about real Christmas in England. I truly love that Country! 🥹❤️😘 Thank you so much, Katharine, you took me along the story and I felt like I was there! 🙏🏽😚 I am spellbound by your elegance again today! 🥰 You have no idea how much I love to listen to the Royals’ Speeches, I even watched the Queen’s first Christmas broadcast in the 1950s - I am not sure about the year, though. And, I adore your tiara, as well, it’s one of my favourite things, of course, too! ❤️ It reminded me of Princess Diana, another year without her, yet again, she will always be remembered through people like you! 🥰 Oh, who doesn’t love the RP Accent, I especially enjoy the Queen’s Accent, and your attempt to portray the Queen was just awesome! 👍🏽👌🏽🤗 Thank you for another video, Katharine! Thank you for making me smile, I am just thoughtless or mindless as soon as I see a notification from your channel, and smile so badly in front of my parents but I have to wipe away my overjoyed smile, they might think I’ve gone crazy otherwise! 😅 Have a prosperous New Year, Katharine! 🎆🎉🎊❤️🥰😘✨ May you thrive more in what you do for your goals and accomplishments, and may you continue to be our sweet young lady who brings a glow to our faces even when it’s dark and cold outside! 😘 I pray for your health, and family, and wish you blessed days in the upcoming year! ❤️ Also, I hope you get a twinkle from someone every day, no doubt for Fridays, we will always make you twinkle like a diamond in the sky! 😘 I can’t thank you enough for playing a vital role in my journey of learning as well as in my happiness. I should’ve said this earlier, though, it’s okay for you, I guess! 😘 Wish to meet you one day, when I come to England! 🇬🇧 I am simply a small girl, and am harmless! ☺️❤️ Happy New Year to you and your family, my dear Katharine! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘 With love, hugs and kisses, Your puny admirer, Ria 😘😘😘
What an amazing comment to read this morning ☺️ Thank you so much for your support of me and my channel this year, it means a lot! Thank you for such kindness and enthusiasm 🌟✨ it helps motivate and inspire me! Wishing you a very happy new year to you & all of your loved ones 🤗💖✨🥂🥰🙌✨🌟🤗☺️
Hello you ! gorgeous Kath ❤️ this lesson happens to be just the ticket for me ; love the RP accent . Wish I could have my accent evaluated by you ❤️ Season's greetings to you ,dear.
Much of old Hollywood like Katherine Hepburn were taught to speak in MidAtlantic accent which sounds a lot like RP English. I like both these accents as they are easy to understand. And they sound dignified and educated.
Thank you for this video. A very interesting information about the RP accent. I wish you a Happy New Year! I am looking forward to seeing your useful English lessons in 2024.

Still cradles folk
In legacies that seal and band
Like solid oak.

His mother walks the journey home
To Philip's side her arms have flown
Above the earth
And history now marks in stone
Her lasting worth.

Beautiful Katherine, you are the greatest teacher in the world.
Very kind comment! 😊☺️
Dear Katharine, greetings from France! What a splendid video today! It’s been a pleasure to discover your channel this year as all of your videos are so fantastic and informative. Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work! BTW when I started learning English it was in a Russian primary school back in the 70s, we were taught to pronounce words exactly the way you describe the old RP or like the Queen would say them “thenk you, I ehm”, etc. Just a very remarkable fact 😊 Wishing you a very happy New Year! 🎉
🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖💖 happy new year!! 🌟🌟✨✨
Hello, Katharine! ❤️
How’ve been doing? 🥰
I simply loved the Christmas video that you posted last Friday, but I had been caught up with some hectic chores at home, just for Christmas. 😄
I was curious and wondering what Christmas actually feels like and what it really is in England because I have never come across a real Christmas in my lifetime, I promise. How embarrassing it sounds, but it’s not anyone’s fault, it’s simply not celebrated more commonly as there is only a small fraction of Christianity exists. 😔
So, I was so elated to see you last Friday with a precise explanation about real Christmas in England. I truly love that Country! 🥹❤️😘
Thank you so much, Katharine, you took me along the story and I felt like I was there! 🙏🏽😚
I am spellbound by your elegance again today! 🥰 You have no idea how much I love to listen to the Royals’ Speeches, I even watched the Queen’s first Christmas broadcast in the 1950s - I am not sure about the year, though.
And, I adore your tiara, as well, it’s one of my favourite things, of course, too! ❤️ It reminded me of Princess Diana, another year without her, yet again, she will always be remembered through people like you! 🥰
Oh, who doesn’t love the RP Accent, I especially enjoy the Queen’s Accent, and your attempt to portray the Queen was just awesome! 👍🏽👌🏽🤗
Thank you for another video, Katharine!
Thank you for making me smile, I am just thoughtless or mindless as soon as I see a notification from your channel, and smile so badly in front of my parents but I have to wipe away my overjoyed smile, they might think I’ve gone crazy otherwise! 😅
Have a prosperous New Year, Katharine! 🎆🎉🎊❤️🥰😘✨
May you thrive more in what you do for your goals and accomplishments, and may you continue to be our sweet young lady who brings a glow to our faces even when it’s dark and cold outside! 😘
I pray for your health, and family, and wish you blessed days in the upcoming year! ❤️
Also, I hope you get a twinkle from someone every day, no doubt for Fridays, we will always make you twinkle like a diamond in the sky! 😘
I can’t thank you enough for playing a vital role in my journey of learning as well as in my happiness. I should’ve said this earlier, though, it’s okay for you, I guess! 😘
Wish to meet you one day, when I come to England! 🇬🇧 I am simply a small girl, and am harmless! ☺️❤️
Happy New Year to you and your family, my dear Katharine! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘
With love, hugs and kisses,
Your puny admirer, Ria 😘😘😘
What an amazing comment to read this morning ☺️
Thank you so much for your support of me and my channel this year, it means a lot! Thank you for such kindness and enthusiasm 🌟✨ it helps motivate and inspire me!
Wishing you a very happy new year to you & all of your loved ones 🤗💖✨🥂🥰🙌✨🌟🤗☺️

Fantastic Video Thank you Mam Have a blessed weekend 👌
You’re welcome 🤗🤗😊😊
Hello you ! gorgeous Kath ❤️ this lesson happens to be just the ticket for me ; love the RP accent . Wish I could have my accent evaluated by you ❤️ Season's greetings to you ,dear.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your RP is magnificent!
😂😅
Much of old Hollywood like Katherine Hepburn were taught to speak in MidAtlantic accent which
sounds a lot like RP English. I like both these accents as they are easy to understand. And they sound
dignified and educated.
Great class.
It is a very useful session. It has new information about this accent in English to know! Teacher Katharine thank you so much and Happy New year!
Glad you liked it!! ✨🌟
Old RP sounds way fascinating 🌹🌹
You're also a beautiful queen for us and one of the best teacher
Best wishes for a new year ahead to you and your family with the blessings of happy Christmas ⛄🎁🎉
Thank you for this video. A very interesting information about the RP accent. I wish you a Happy New Year! I am looking forward to seeing your useful English lessons in 2024.
🤗🤗✨🤗 thank you so so much for your support 😊☺️☺️☺️
Wishing you a year ahead filled with mini miracles and major joys! 😊 👍 💐 🌹 HAPPY NEW YEAR Katharine!! May your dreams come true! ✨
