Learn how to pronounce these two easily confused short vowels, /æ/ and /e/. A lot of my students don't even know they make mistakes with these two sounds, so this modern RP British pronunciation lesson will be very important for all accent enthusiasts
Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well (or even an English accent at all!). There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP and want to speak it clearly.

I think the bigger problem is /æ/ vs /ʌ/ vs /ɑ:/ and /e/ vs /ə/ vs /ɜ:/.
In many languages, it's only one vowel, not three.
Anyway, this video can help a lot of people.
In my opinion that's one of the most important differences to grasp and master in an English language (along with the "th" and "r" sound) that will make you sound way better. I've lived in the UK for 13 years and only in the last 2 years I started paying more attention to how I sound and taking phonics more seriously and that first made me realise how, perhaps stupid I sounded to the native speakers when I was pronouncing things incorrectly and second now when I know and pay attention to how I say things how easier it is to communicate. So I can't stress enough that the way you say things is really really important 💞
When I started to learn English (didn't know there was only American English) I thought "an" and "en" sounded the same. Thanks to you I finally known the differences. Nowadays I use British English
Elliott, I've been speaking British RP since taking your class, and even true brits believe I'm from the UK. So if anyone ever has a desire, Elliott is an exceptional teacher. It's now the only way I speak at all times. Sending love to you and yours, and congrats on your wee babe...
That´s wonderful! Where are you from?
@@marcelguberman I was born in Georgia but have lived abroad for many years, mainly living in Florida. So it's interesting that I sound like a southern Brit... I feel as though a dream came true speaking British. Honestly, one of my dear chaps (son) was murdered, and so I wrote a storybook based on him (Beatrix Potter-like), and I wanted to do the audio for it myself. So it seemed fitting to learn British, and I never went back. Ya, know, sort of as a gift to my boy. The book I wrote is called The Tale of Sawyer Lamb. It's ever so charming...
Wow! Congrats mate!
Ya mee tooo
Well done
😭I thought I’m first one on the comment but there are many others, anyhow Elliott is my favorite pronunciation teacher.
Thanks a lot. Very helpful.
The sounds I struggle to differentiate are these two: cut /cat.
I was always confused about these sounds , Thanks Elliott💞
Elliott you're the best teacher 🔥🔥🔥

This week I've got my very first opportinity for a conversation with a fluent English speaker and I got amazed to hear that my intonation and vocabulary are quite good. Thank you Elliot for your dedication sharing knowledge with people around the world! You're great, mate! Cheers!

This is the third video this month, it makes me really excited🤩 you are so helpful I can notice the difference, before and after finding your channel, in my accent especially my "r", thanks a lot🥰
In American English "sand vs send" , "and vs end", "fan vs fen", "bad vs bed",... They are a little bit similarly pronounced to each other :D i used to speak like that, now i will change my voice, hope it make my pronunciation to be more royal :D and my speaking teacher won't knock on my head anymore
I'm in love with your accent . I'm practicing every day to improve my accent to sound more like a native speaker

Please more minimal pairs. I'm in C.1 level, here in Spain is a very advanced level. I need that simple and valuable explanation. Thank you for your work Elliot
Sir, I really appreciate your pronunciation.
Elliot, thanks for a great lesson. These are difficult sounds for many, me included. If you could include one more sound like bed, bat, but it would be even more amazing.
I think it is a most useful blog about British pronunciation in youtube. Really.
The best teacher ever, i see you from Costa Rica😍😍🇨🇷
Since I am Asian, the pronunciation of those bat, bet, mat, met, man, men gave me a lot of trouble. Now, after watching your lesson, it is easy to remember. Thank you, sir.
you really inspire me to learn more and I like it.

My son is now teaching English online cos you inspired him. You are too good
