    I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

      Very nice ma'am. As far as I concerned English is very difficult language. Because English is not mother tongue. Though I am trying to study English. Everybody is saying that if you are speaking English, you have to think in English. But, how to think in English. Now I am speaking English. How to speak in English that first time I think in my mother tong, then I translate in English. I don't know that this way is very right. English listening is very problem. Sometimes, vocabulary maybe a very problem.

  • @davidquirogagalhardobuenod7858

    I would never know how to pronounce Edinburgh or Worcestershire if Emma hadn't told me in the video. They're utterly peculiar words. Notwithstanding that, the other contents enhanced me a lot. I thought that I knew the basic words. In fact, I had assimilated their meaning. I didn't know the correct pronunciation though. I look forward for more materials like that. Cheers, Emma.

      As a native speaker myself, you might want to try go for more natural words in your writing to be more clear. Using more advanced words unnecessarily just feels off: a bit like a 14 year old writing one of their first essays and using a thesaurus and all the most complex words they can muster to seem smart, but ultimately becoming artificial, or worse, incomprehensible.

    As an advanced learner (I got an 8.0 result at an IELTS exam few years ago), I've not found the words in this video difficult to pronounce.
    But there's always the opportunity to improve on other words and I actually have a question for you.
    What has always puzzled me (but I've never asked a professional teacher) is to hear some highly educated English native speakers pronounce the word stressing the second 'e' (ɪntər'ɛstɪŋ), instead of stressing the first syllable ('ɪntərɛstɪŋ) as indicated in the dictionaries.
    Another striking occurrence is to hear (practically invariably and universally) the word pronounced with a rather elongated (and quite irritating, to my taste) mellow sound (something like ), instead of the shorter , which is the phonetics indicated in the dictionaries.
    I mean, the two words above are not rare in spoken English..., so how come they have started differing from the official pronunciation a very long time ago and too many educated speakers seem prone to concede?

    • @mrjoe5661
      @mrjoe5661 Před rokem +6

      I think a lot of English native speakers these days are heavily influenced by American TV and films, and English pronunciation, especially among younger Brits, is becoming a homogeneous 'Mid-atlantic' mixture of traditional English and West-coast American. Also, you quote the word "good", that has a completely different pronunciation in Scotland, generally pronounced similar to "food" rather than the traditional English pronunciation the same as "hood".

    • @jacknoble9054
      @jacknoble9054 Před rokem +9

      It's simply a matter of accents, of which there are a wide range in England, and an even wider range across the British Isles. Education has little to do with it. There is no such thing as 'official pronunciation' - who's going to officiate? There are simply different accents, and sometimes one accent becomes dominant/more common. In the case of 'interesting', stressing the third syllable more than the first is a minority phenomenon, and for that reason should not be recommended to learners of English. But that doesn't make it wrong.

    • @robertorovida2108
      @robertorovida2108 Před rokem +2

      @@jacknoble9054 In the case of "good", my suspicion/inference is that the softer and more sustained pronunciation (rather than a more 'explosive and ultimate' gʊd) may be a cultural/psychopersonological need of a people that is too used to situations like "keep calm and carry on" (even when waiting for an NHS examination for two years), no weapons to the policemen in the streets, no peremptory/cutting opinions but prudence etc. In short, it seems to me that the pronunciation may fit the speakers. Or maybe I'm too impudent?

    • @DavideMazzetti
      @DavideMazzetti Před rokem +2

      In the case of 'interesting', in everyday speech native English speakers don't pronounce the second syllable and the pronunciation becomes 'intresting', with the stress on the first syllable. You will also find that the 'e' becomes reduced to a schwa sound. As for 'good', I'm a native English speaker and have NEVER heard the elongated 'oo' you mention.

    • @idw9159
      @idw9159 Před rokem +1

      roberto, the elongations of words like int-er-esting and goood are typically done as the person saying the word either mulls over, or wants to emphasize, the point they are making; note however that the stress in 'interesting' is always on 1st syllable, though the -ter- is voiced in its elongated form

Usually English words with a "ch" pronounced as "k" come from Greek words where the "ch" was written with the letter χ and it was pronounced not as k but as German "ch". Other examples where this tricky ch can be found are words from Greek such as "stomach", "chemistry " or "chiropractor".

    OK, so... Me a guy from the USA, wacthing this with keen interest. We have basically the same words in American-lish as they do in English... but I detected about four words we would pronounce differently here in rural USA. Rural being one of the four. Now I know Edinburgh is in Scotland but I'd bet you all the tacos in Mexico that it is pronounced with a hard G at the end here in America, like we would pronounce Pittsburgh. Squirrel... Americans have a different pronunciation (hard to explain)... and the BIGGEST difference would be.... worcestershire sauce... I think most, or at least some would pronounce it... wish-kish-er sauce.... but I don't know if there is consensus on that... so yeah we differ.

    Hi Emma:
    Nice video.
    As a man who was born in Argentina, but whose lifetime dream is to live in England (or the UK rather), I can say I got ALL them right.
    Now, when it comes to SIXTH, I don't drop the TH, I change the X for a C, because I think it's better to say SICTH, than SIX,
    Another thing is: SHIRE is difficult, but there are many cities with that name, and one that's also quite tricky is Gloucestershire, where "Gloces" is pronounced similar to "Glows".
    Thanks & greets from Argentina (Hope it is from England someday).

    It went really well! Probably the fact that my wife is British helped a little bit. The only word I failed was one of the easy ones, "chocolate"! I usually pronounce the second "o", 😂! Good video, Emma!

    Hey, Emma, and thank you for this video! I'm going to watch the next one too after a while. The only little mistake I've got was a schwa sound instead of that /ɔ/ in 'chaos'.

    I believe I got them all right ❤ Except for the 🐿that got Americanized as a result of Hadar's influence on me 😂The big boss got a slightly longer ending from me as well, but nothing that would make it incomprehensible I hope 🙈 So, I'd give myself 12,5/14 for my British pronunciation! 😂Thank you so much for this video, it was so much fun! I'd love to see more of these on your channel.

    Emma, you pronounced the word "chocolate" like a Spaniard ❤ in the correction of the word pronunciation 😍 The phonetic transcription is very useful 👍In Spanish language we say: "cho-co-la-te" instead of "chok-lut" like in English language 😀

      U.S. born and bred, I say "cho-co-lut." I go over the second syllable, "co", fairly quickly, but I do pronounce it as a definite syllable all its own when I say chocolate. Probably pronounce it as "chok-lut" on occasion, but it's not my primary or preferred way to say the word.

    We have always said 'Wuster sauce', leaving out the 'shire' completely, and that has been so wherever I've lived in the UK, although I have never lived in Worcestershire. The only exception was in the public bar of my local over 50 years ago, where it was usually pronounced Worcestersheershire sauce.
    One English pronunciation that annoys me is that everyone now seems to put the stress on the second syllable of 'harrassment', whereas, like most English multi-syllable words, the stress was always on the first syllable. Regardless of how or why that happened, I will continue to pronounce as I always have.

    - pronouncing wo- instead of wu- in worcestershire.
    I'm from Italy and I've been studying English for all my life, just because!

I also speak Arabic (native from both my parents) and French (also native from my parents) and I'm on my way to learn more languages, like japanese/korean/chinese, german, swedish, etc
