- What people commonly describe as a “British accent” is actually called “received pronunciation”. Regardless of the way people call it, you can definitely master this accent in less than 10 minutes.

(1) Don’t pronounce every written R
This is a MUST! Some languages and accents do pronounce every written "r", but not standard British English. If a written "r" is followed by a spoken vowel sound, say the R, and if it doesn’t, then DON’T say it.
(2) Touch the teeTH.
There are two fricative TH sounds in English: voiceless /θ/ and voiced /ð/. In GB English they are both made with the tongue touching behind the teeth, but in some accents they’re replaced with /f/ and /v/.
(3) Pronounce U in with the “ew” or “you” sound
In a British accent, a liquid “u” sound, as said in the word you, is used in places where an American accent would pronounce “oo.”
(4) Always stress the vowels
It should always be the vowel sounds that are stressed in British pronunciation. Putting stress on the vowel sounds essentially means emphasising it, and most speakers do that with a change of pitch or tone.
(5) Observe that "h" is not always pronounced
The "h" is pronounced in the word "herb," in contrast erb. However, in many British accents, the "h" at the beginning of a word is often omitted, such as in many Northern accents and the Cockney accent.
(6) Practice those vowels
The hardest vowel sounds for Americans to nail are the short ‘o’ as in ‘not’ and the long ‘aw’ as in ‘naughty’. For ‘not’, ‘shot’, etc. practice them as ‘nut’ and ‘shut’ then round the lips over that short vowel.
(7) Use British slang
British slang and American slang are very different. Be careful as some terms can have drastically different meanings depending on which side of the pond you are!

I’ve never heard someone say the word “Vowel” as cool as you. Thanks for the video!
Mam, this lesson was incredibly helpful. Thank you 😊 so much. It would be great if you could come up with more British English lessons. I haven't found any good teachers here in CZcams, who explains every single minute details of the British accent.
She is providing very noticeable and amazing features for the complete understanding👍
Omg i love your positive vibes. You teach great!!
I love how you pronounce the word "vowel" as "wowel". I think it's cute.
That's Marina's Russian accent too. "Wowel"
@@j.peterkonmen8764 That does help me understand the Russian accent. Спасибо !
Ahhh is the the Russian accent saying vowel? I thought she was coming up with something new with that. Got me confused for awhile

Hey guys welcome to linguamarina....such a soothing voice u have.....Keep going...keep rocking...as u do always
Wow! You are lucky to learn RP in school. My teachers at school teach us pronunciation a mix of British and American but we use Brit vocabulary in our country. They pronounce 'student' as 'stoodent' but new as 'new' without yod-dropping but surprisingly dictionaries I can find at book stores feature RP.
i just found ur video today! you speak very well. You made me rly enjoy ur video. Thanks a lot for making a useful video.
I love the way of telling information to us
Your way of talking , smiling and most important explaining is one of the thing which I like most in this world.
Thanks for sharing such an interesting video lesson with us. 🌹
Thanks a lot ❤. Your videos are really helpful.
Amazing explanation ❤ , thanks for your such an effort😊
I just feel like I should mention that this is not all British accents, such as welsh or Scottish. The accent she refers to when she says British is England.
There are also quite a few different English accents depending on your background and where from England you are, but this one is mainly used :).
I from Russia too, and at school our teachers teach us a British accent but I like American accent more than British. I realized that sometimes I mix them up... but I try to improve my accent. This video was very helpful for me 🥺
Thank you very much dear for this great video. I really learnt the difference between two
Thank you ma'am.
Your programs are usefully.
I'm an Indian and whenever I forget anything I search you and the fun fact is - your channel never disappoints me......thank you so much for such great content......love you❤️🙏🏻
Amazed to know that you aren't a native speaker. Your accent is awesome.☺️
Accent is a great challenge. You gave me some helpful clues. Thank you!
Thank you Marina. This video was helpful to me
I spoke with an American accent for one month, but yesterday, I started to speak with a British accent! 🇬🇧
In words ending with "re" also "r" is silent
Here
Where
There
More
Are
Care
Careful
Forecast
And in words which which "r" is followed by "h", "r" is not silent
Rhino
Rhode
Rhythm
Rhesus
Rhodes
intresting fact:- 'Rhythm' is the only six latter word which has no single vowel.
I got your wordbook and it's super easy thanks so much ❤️
Oh love to see your videos! I never get exhausted by watching your videos!
I'm a big fan of you from India
This is very helpful, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I am from Liverpool, so have a scouse accent. I have been to America 3 times and hardly any American I spoke to thought I was English. I got asked if I was Scottish, Irish, Australian and even German 😂. Some were really shocked when I said I was English, because I didn't speak like a member of the Royal Family. A recent study showed that only 2% of people in Britain speak with received pronunciation, but a lot of American's seem to think we all speak like that! Probably because that's how Hollywood and American TV always portray us English.
The Beatles accents
Exactly! I dont know anyone who speaks like her and il say it again there’s no such thing as a british accent ffs I’m from Manchester and we don’t sound anything like this 🤣🤣🤣
You are my best teacher thank you😄

As an Englishman we find the Kiwi Accent hilarious. Like when they say Deck, they say Dick.

Thanks,for you teach us the defference about british and american accent.And I very happy learn more about british accent.From Indonesia country.
your pronunciation is very cleared
i think everyone would understand it
and thanks for doing a such great job
my dear keep it up.
i am from India ❤️
The most motivating person, thank you💙
People in UK and US discussing about various accents
And here in India we r still struggling to correct our grammar 😓
Anyways, more than 70% of Indians can understand more than one language.
And almost half of the people can understand and are fluent in 2 or more languages 😎
I get new ideas when I listen your teaching tips. I don't dislike your accent and beautiful sounds. Miss u ma'am
I forget what the term for this is, but it's very common - I noticed that when you (the video creator) said the word "vowel", you pronounce the V differently (Russian accent), but a bit later, when you are talking about the "th" sound, you have no problem pronouncing "V". I'm not criticizing you, I'm just pointing it out because it is very common, and interesting how this happens. I think it happens with many other sounds too, where a person can pronounce a sound in a certain word, but not others, depending on the context. Thank You, great video! Your English is excellent, as well as all of your accents.
O my god.I didn’t think there is such a difference between American English and British English. It’s really confusing. Any way,thank you very much.I have learned a lot 🙂❤❤
what did you actually learn from it as your English seems alright and in nearly 10-min video given discrepancies are not that clear in my opinion. apart from obvious truck/lorry, garbage/rubbish, vacation/holiday, elevator/lift, sidewalk/pavement, restroom/toilet, sweatpants/tracksuit bottoms.. and I love her pronunciation of the word vowel :)
@@pttheuk I learned from this vedio that there is a big difference between the pronunciation of America and British. Now i will take care not to get confused later.If the matter is not clear to you then you can watch the vedio again. And yah i also love her pronunciation. Thank you.
There are many big differences! As an English learner, it's a good idea to choose one to imitate for your accent based on your needs.
@@fatimaroushon6643 don't shout on me. it's simple question. re-read it until you have understood. you watched different video, as this "vedio" doesn't explain the pronunciation of an America or a British. good luck with the learn.👍
@@pttheuk I'm not shouting on you. You misunderstand me.I didn't say that the vedio explained the American and British pronunciation. I just said before watching this vedio, i didn't notice the difference between the American and British accents. But i'm still sorry if my words hurt you.Please don't mind brother/sister. Thank you.🙂
I love both British and American accent. But I found American accent easy to adopt. British is formal and I love it too!!! I sometimes mix them but I understand every person speaking in British or American!!

I always mix up these two accents lol
im brazilian so here the most common accent when learning english is american so I feel kind uncomfortable if I try british accent (even tho I think it's really beautiful) and I don't even understand what british people r saying lol so yes this week I will watch only one direction videos and see if I can star understanding
😂😂😂 quando comecei a estudar os livros eram todos referentes ao inglês americano, lá pela metade até o fim do curso mudou para edições britânicas so yeah, acabado misturando os dois sem nem perceber LOL. O mais engraçado é que antigamente eu não conseguia entender o australiano e depois de escutar mais pessoas de lá acabei pegando, então é possivel! Desiste não, boa sorte ♥
My listening really good when I hear u talk
Thank you!!! I really loved your video about the accents :) now I see that I pronounce some of the words in the American matter, while others I say like British people do. You motivated me to learn more about the accents and use them in a better way 🎉 thanks a lot!!!
