I remember the beginning. When i started learning English. I consumed the American a lot, but since I discovered the British accents fallen in with. I stopped listening to Americans. Nowadays, I consume only British content and follow native speakers from the UK. British accents are quite beautiful. ❤

Hi, lovely teacher. I'm from Venezuela. 💕💖❤️🤓 I love British accent since my childhood.
Great video! I live in Canada and most people here usually say I have a 'British accent,' but Brits can always tell it's not spot on. I never really considered myself as having or even working towards a 'British' accent, but, since people here find it cool and it's (apparently) something doable, then.. why not? Hence here I am! Thanks for the tips.
Thank you so much for your lesson. I'm waiting for other lessons about the PR British accent. Your video is inspiring)))
I'm from Portsmouth in the Uk, and I would say I have an "estruary" accent, which is the standard accent in the south east of England. In my city we also have the "pompey" accent which is a bit more cockney sounding but for some reason I don't sound too much like that. I've noticed the way to "REALLY" tell if the difference between upper/rp vs estruary is the way they'd pronounce "little". If they pronounce the "t"s like a "ckh" sound then they are trully genuine as most of us cannot imitate this. THAT is what separates the so called "Upper class" or "RP" accent from standard estruary accents from the south. I mean it's subtle but it's noticable to any native speaker of English or ones on that level.
I love British accent!!! I appreciate your English lesson🫂I found the best teacher ever😊
Wow sir.. this tip is really amazing.. I am obsessed to learn British accent after watching KLAUS MICHAELSON (THE ORIGINALS)
Thank you...hope to learn more
I moved to the UK recently I'm from Nigeria and I really find it hard to communicate cause I've got a different accent and that's why I need a British accent.
A very good tip for the schaw sound is that it doesn't appear in unaccented syllables. Very good video.
RP is the accent I really like the most, I understand it better.

Greetings to you,Benjamin, from Thailand,
I'm learning English for my work as I'm doing a home stay biz in the western part of the country.
I love to listen your voice of your video. Really I feel it's very good.
Many thanks!
Was very difficult for me at the beginning to be more familier witht the british accent ( Live in South London), but now i am quite confident et happy to FINALLY understand the english channel like BBC. Like their accent even if i still understand easily thes americans when they speak. I am also glad as i studied english at the british council in Rabat-Morocco before moving here in this beautiful country ( i like the weather, i 'am note a sun person yes they exist 🤣haha)
Hahahaha I am definitely a sun person and I am glad you are settling in and starting to understand more and more 😌🙏🏻
Wonderfully good presentation
Thanks for this lesson
Thanks for this cheerful and authentic RP accent.
However, if I may contribute with my humble experience.
About intonation and practice, I strongly believe that the key here is "mean what you say". If I mean what I say, I'll learn to stress the important words and meaningful syllables. In other languages, a nuance adjustment in the sentence can change the sentence whereas in English, a nuance adjustment just changes the stress and intonation.
Concerning choice of words, what really helps is reading. Reading English books enriches the vocabulary directory a lot
Hi I'm an English teacher in Milan, I enjoyed your video and encourage you to do more as it could be useful to learn more tips on pronunciation, so that I can share it with my students
Hi Benjamin. Thank you for your work. I enjoyed watching your video. I am from Poland and I have lived in Britain for 17 years but I still can't aquire the British accent. I do speak English almost fluently, in fact, I do think in English as well. I do watch films and shows in English and I communicate mostly in English in my everyday life. I lost hope I'll be able to have a British accent ever....
Very helpful, thank you. More in depth videos will be much appreciated ✌️

Hi, Benjie. I am from Indonesia, and I just hit the Subscribe button as this video truly intrigued me to do so. For the past few years, I have been constantly torned choosing between British English and American English, which fits me better and which accent should i improve. Because I mainly speak in American accent on my regular basis, but sometimes when i feel more relaxed-I am comfortable enough to speak using British Accent. However one thing i noticed, i have been practicing myself in writing using BE style simply by differentiate the vocab like emphasise, recognise, favour, behaviour.
On and on, from this video I’ve determined myself to master the British Accent because I am planning to continue my study to UK/Scotland next year. Wish me luck, btw!
Just enjoy your own accent. Hone your pronunciation, intonation and stress patterns, by all means. However, unless you are a spy you don't need to "mask" your own accent and identity
Very beautiful accent
Dude, i am from Pakistan.My son Muhammad Uwaim likes your lesson.

I am an english language learner from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. You should choose one between two well-known accents that are American and British. I would like to speak in the British one, because It sounds more mesmerizing to me
Great Video! I can't wait for more!! Can You create a playlist with videos about british accent?
Hello from Greece! I like so much the british accent! Actually I think that's the original English language sound. Unfortunately in schools we are taught the american accent and in our daily life we hear too often this accent through movies or songs etc. Since I'm old enough I can't change my accent.. Maybe I should live in England for some months 🤔
My name is also Benjamin. I want to master RP for acting and voice acting purposes. Also as a useful non-rhotic accent, it will help with learning other non-rhotic languages and accents as well.
Hi Benjamin! I'm Ukrainian, but I'm living in Wales for over 9 years. So, I do understand you perfectly, but as u said there's many different accents around the UK and I know that on my own experience.
And thank you so much for your pronunciation tips.
your videos help me a lot 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you very much! That means the world to me and I really appreciate your support! What types of videos do you like to watch?
@@englishlifewithbenjamin If you get a chance to interact with people from Southern or sub Saharan Africa and get to know our shortfalls as far as speaking English is concerned then that will give you an idea of the types of videos I would love to watch and learn from.
