How to survive getting beaten because of pretending to be posh
Pretend until you get use to it
Because in ashian country it's big money for posh speaking teachers

Yes
@@uwuzon6606 China, for example ~ I’m a Chinese student in an international school.
It's rare to see this kind of situation in our school, but it's quite common in many English language training centers which hired foreign teachers.
The posher the teacher speaks, the more likely to become a professional teacher in that center. The language center will also advertise the teacher's Posh Speaking accent
Go to an estate pub and start talking that way.. I’m sure you’ll make friends with everyone right away lol
Levels of British:
1. posh
2. normal
3. frickin chav, bruv, innit
Hahah so true, I’m no.2
I'm somewhere between 1 and 2
I’m number 1 level of British-English (Posh ) I’ve been speaking like that since 2012
That's the same in all languages
Lucia-Grazia Mostyn Are you sure? Only the royal family and aristocracy really speak like that now
As a foreigner, I don’t understand why this accent is called ‘posh’. For me, this accent is clear. I perfectly understand the queen when she speaks.
That's why it is more accurately called "RP", which means "Received Pronunciation" 😊
@@jamesfoxsmith perhaps l would have said elegant sounding
Потому что это диалект привелегированных семей и именно ему обучают иностранцев и вещают по телевидению.
Ну вот никак не "диалект", равно как сказать "говор королевский"
@@vladbla6763 вы мне?
Можно сказать и "говор королевский".
One more tip for extremely posh RP speech: move one's lips as little as possible. I've seen Prince Charles speak a few times here on American TV. The man's virtually a ventriloquist.
Very true! Thanks John
Yes, the stiff upper lip 😄
Good Afternoon,
Tom,
April 8 and March are gone.
Is their any other up coming offer for Lingoda.

Showing an open mouth is considered rude.
Thanks for the laugh!
the posh "shower" "power" "hour" are totally
incomprehensible for a foreigner like me.... That would put my selfconfidence rather shattered :D
E. Piovani 😂😂😂same
Me to. Same feeling although I teach English as a foreign language
Esatto.
I am Mexican and I totally get it............................................................................. cause I´ve hearing English all my life hohohohohohoho
Try to say Flower, flour, and floor in the same sentence and see what Americans or British understand ...
THIS IS BRILLIANT! THANKS TOM!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it mate : )

In an Nutshell: How to speak like in Downton Abbey
Correction: how to speak like the Crawleys in Downton Abbey!
@Gareth Lloyd whatttt???
Theyre from leeds, and the nuance is completely different
Oh bugger
Watch Downton Abbey every day At last you w'll be spoken like Crawleys family The accent Countess Violet's dressmade is real Brithis She told that she growup in SaintJames distric I love this accent
I really love the way you speak as a posh person 😂😂
Hehe maybe I should try and keep it going for the rest of my life ; )
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish Sure.. It'll be so marvelous
And also wear as a posh person, you're so elegant😉
😂😂
Hey guys why can't we try and have a WhatsApp group and practice English there?
Posh guy: Bath, laugh, calf, half yes lots of ar sounds.
Me: ARSE
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Posh is "You silly aaaarse..."
WinChun78 I have quite a posh accent
laaaaugh
Jolly good show, old bean! Bravo! Absolutely marvellous! Although, I'd find it rather ghastly should one of my students ever wish to speak to me in such a manner. It's positively atrocious at times and reminds me of "yayas" and "toffs". Haha!
Aren't rap songs even more atrocious and ghastly? 😁
@@webrambler88 for a different reason, though
Beastly remark, I say!
Well, keep it to yourself or his Gentleman’s Gentleman will thrash you with his cane.
There is/was actually a published martial art covering that, which RDJ studied to play Sherlock Holmes.
3:53 to 6:43 - That's not a quick moment from our sponsor, that's a very long moment for our sponsor 😂
i was about to say or write the same comment
Skipped it anyway
Well thank you for saving me from the ad
Well, that was the quickest part of the video.
Feels like half of the video lol!
What a marvelous creation! I implore you to make more of this kind of videos; I very enjoyed it. Thank you! Best wishes for the coming one's.
This video is absolutely brilliant! Amusing and useful, thank you 🙂 The part about David Gower taking a shower was hilarious! I'm going to use "poppycock" more frequently, i really like how it sounds
Jolly good Ariadne! Poppycock is a very pleasing word to use...toodle pip my dear
such a brilliant video explaining us foreigners the posh english. I had a great time watching it xx
I can't believe "hello old bean" is for real 😂
Hi my dear old bean, how are you? Oh golly gosh, aren't you blotto, are you? ... No, it's needless to say poppycocks 😀😀😀
(I hope I didn't make a mistake) xD
The comment is for fun 😂
@@vicvic553 yeah you totally look really serious saying old bean 😆
My brother uses it to me every time I see him.
I would like to express my most sincere gratitude and appreciation to you for this video!
I’m Sri Lankan (colonized by the British in the Past) and rugby is very popular here too. And mostly a sport reserved for the most elite schools in the country. And we most often use the word rugger than rugby.
Okay but Sri Lanka is the last posh place on the planet
@@whocares5584 it’s a third world ‘developing’ country. It isn’t the poshest but an exclusive community does exist in here. And I’m certain it isn’t the ‘last posh place’ in the world.
@@Chapa24. I wrote "Sri Lanka" on Google Maps to see what the country looks like using Google Streetview. I thought that it would look like any poor country, but as far as I saw, it is really beautiful!
@@Chapa24. i really dont think you should take pride in your "exclusive community" i certainly don't, not while there's poor people suffering here everyday
@@Indian_gae_boii I never said I take pride in elitism and exclusivity. I just mentioned things for how they are. I don’t understand why you’re trying to argue.
That's exactly what I was looking for. I love your videos, they're really useful and I found them hilarious!! Greetings from Italy ❤️
Absolutely one of the best English teaching video on CZcams.
Hahaha loved you in that posh character. You’re not just a great teacher but an amazing actor as well 😆
he is so believable
In British English, we say long vowels quite often and we omit the /r/ sound frequently. We also, usually, have a deeper voice and a less croaky-like pronunciation. Apart from that, it’s really just the extra vocab and knowing when to put the glottal stop instead of the /t/ sound.
I'm an Indian, and I'm obsessed with learning the posh English accent, intonation, and vocabulary. A great video! Thanks!
Lmao why it reminded me of pooja whats this behavior lol , i guess she was obsessed with english accent too . I wonder why everyone hate indian acccent i found it quite amusing.
You will always just be an Indian
@@bilalahmed2343 and your sexual urges will always be taken out on a goat
@@bilalahmed2343 That's a bit rude to her/him. Why just an Indian?
@@dianatrainer443 I know right
"May I be of some assistance ?" instead of Can I help you ?". 😁
"Much obliged" rather than "thank you" 😋
"Much obliged"? That's something John Wayne would use, together with slight bow and touching his cowboy hat :D
That was a great performance, Tom! He-he! Just keep doing, don't stop! And of course, thank you so much! :)
You are simply hilarious putting on your posh pronunciation, lol!!! What a splendid affair, old Bean!😂🤣
I just discovered this great channel. I like it a lot, what a great performance! 🏆
Glad you like it Piff Paff ☺️
Tom ur really great, i learn alot of thing from u, thank u so much and I really love the way you talk .. and at the end of the video, you said thank you for your time. No, we should thank you for your time to teach us .
Oh my goodness! this is truly amazing...I wish I could speak like this someday
Oh bless you Mihira, I'm chuffed to bits you enjoyed it : )
Please create more videos speaking like Posh British person😉....I love thee examples they do help alot and the way you speak is very Posh hey!..... Shou Out from South Africa!
Jolly good show old bean! A splendid video indeed! I have been known to say blotto myself, maybe I'm posher than I thought.
This was such a wonderful video. So far, it is my fav. Hello, from Dallas, Tx.
Posh is the best, lovely, distinct articulation, pleasure for the ears!
Reminds me of a retired colonel I once met in Western Ireland.
Charming bloke but it took me loads of time to translate to my Italian speaking wife who understands some English but could not wrap herself round his pronunciation.
This guy really puts in so much effort into his videos. Thank you Tom. The video was spiffing. Tiddly pip
The power shower for an hour state of mind. What a superb recipe. Do share more. Thank you.
I'm Brazilian and I absolutely love this channel!
J'adore toutes vos vidéos !Quel talent ,you are very gifted .I love Queen's English ,the best in the world .
Tom, I love all your videos! Thank you so much for your channel!
That's spiffing news Rusika, I'm over the moon you enjoyed it my dear
So many funny bits in there! Well done, Sir Tom!
Well done. Charming, adorable and fun. Looking forward to more videos on the different types of RP.
ʻI do hope youʼve enjoyed todayʼs lesson.ʼ
ʻRATHER!ʼ
I can’t stop laughing because of the monocle. I’m american but this is hilariously posh. Love it. Just picturing a tourist getting off a bus and swinging around a cane asking strangers for directions to the Ritz
Exactly I couldn't quit laughing 😆
Thank you so much, it was such fun. And I actually recognized a few words from Downton abbey! "What a beastly thing to do", "Crumbs!", "Golly!" (without gosh), and sounds of course. Good luck!
Love this episode!! Thanks for the posh English tips and tricks. Entertaining charisma too. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm a Yank living on the continent and used to do a fair bit of business in the UK in the property sector. It's amazing how much the English appreciate their language and the ability to speak it well. Quite challenging for a Yank, but gratifying when you're able to find words and expression that resonate with one's interlocutors.
"Smashing" to show delight.
Doesn't make sense
Splendid! You are a formidable teacher. And you look very good wearing that cap!
Try using ONE: as in. "one finds the Camenbert is rather orff", or " one would help if one could , of course, but..."

When I was in High School (it’s nearly a year since I left ) and when I was at High School I was taught by a technology teacher who spoke in a similar style to The Queen’s English and even though I was taught at a School called Hazel Grove High School .
I was really interested in why most (not all) the staff there spoke with a posh accent.
(the only thing that bothered me was the commoners in Mainstream because some students there didn’t speak as well as the students in my department)
(The common mainstreamers spoke a load of Poppycock) .
By The Way I went to that High School from September 2014 until July 2019 (I only graduated last year )
Absolutely spiffing English! I have found it rather enjoyable learning how to speak proper English. Thank you
Great job, mate! Keep doing that. Cheers.
"Poppycock" I loved this word, it's spiffing😂
I really appreciate your videos, they help me a lot.❤
Your videos really help me a lot. Thanks for your perfect explanations and your good humor. I'm Brazilian and I'm in love with British accent. Your accent it's enough to me
I love it ! I'm eager to watch some breakdowns of other british accents (West Countries, Scouse, Geordie, etc.). Bis repetita !😊
Absolutely marvellous!
The posh pronunciation of “cough” is exactly how it is pronounced here in New York City. Apparently, we must sound rather classy here... At least sometimes! LOL
lol we say tuner in australia for tuna and the barth, carf, harf but we definately say COFF for cough 🤣🤣🤣 hope i can get to NYC one day 😭
One of best videos, Tom. Absolutely hilarious, yet ve'rr'y educative. Keep it up.
Simply... Brilliant!
Amazing video - engaging and perfectly exemplified.
Thank you Tom, you've answered a question I have had for years! I am German, I've learned English at school in the 80s and at university in the 90s, I have a pronouncing dictionary - and I have always been taught the yod sound without a doubt. Duke, Tube, tuna - always only with a yod sound. That's why I also teach my students the yod sound. And suddenly I keep on hearing all these words with a tsh/dsh sound! And I always wondered why when who... I even asked English friends and they couldn't explain. Now finally! I do have my answer, thank you so much! (Now the question is - will I be able to change my way of speaking so that I can teach my students how those words are pronounced today?) (Btw the students' textbooks all use the 'old', or as you now explained 'posh' pronunciation!)
Das ist auch wirklich schwer für deutsche Zungen…Ich habe einige Jahre in England studiert und bin immer noch am Üben. Wahrscheinlich werde ich nie meinen deutschen Akzent loswerden 🧐
An English singer Johnny Flynn pronounces "dew" /dju:/, not /d͡ʒu:/, as most of the British would pronounce it, nor /du:/, as most Americans would pronounce it, so it sounds neither as "Jew" nor as "do":
czcams.com/video/2F9DDBhjOdE/video.html
And I remember Galadriel in "The Lord of the Rings" pronounced "seduced by power" as "sedyoosed by power", not "sejoosed by power". She was portrayed by Cate Blanchette, who is from Australia, and I hear "tuna chewing" from Australians as well as from the British, but still she didn't turn /dju:/ into /d͡ʒu:/.
On the other hand, this English teacher pronounces "deuce" /d͡ʒu:s/ so it sounds the same as "juice":
czcams.com/video/sqZ5r6q8_Sc/video.html
So it's up to you!
By the way, "tuna chewing" creates 4 pairs of homophones: "Jew" & "dew" (or "due"), "June" & "dune", "juice" & "deuce" and "jewel" & "dual". But I can't think of any minimal pair which contrasts /t͡ʃu:/ and /tju:/. Probably it's because there are few words that begin with "choo". Actually I can think of only one: "choose". "Tuesday" usually sounds like "choose day" in British accents, but "choose day" is not a word.
The empty cup of earl grey lying on my desk filled up as a result of this short, but informative documentary.
Very interesting Tom, thanks a lot.
Thank you for the lesson Tom
Hey Tom. A native American English speaker here and I wanted to let you know you crack me up. Thank you. P.S. I think I can safely say that your posh is tosh!!!
Что вы имеете в виду, что Пош, сам по себе, негативный акцент/диалект или же то, что Автор канала плохо его произносит?
What about: 'Gracious!' or 'Goodness!'
Love your channel very much, Tom
I was waiting to this video so much time, thank you 😊
Yay! So glad you liked it Michael : )
Well, this got me in the mood to rewatch the Jeeves and Wooster series with Fry and Laurie. :)
Wow, I love when a Prince teaches English! 😂😂😂
Thanks, very useful words.
Spiffing video Tom 😁.Thanks
Tom, you are a jolly good fellow... and so are all of us. :)
It was absolutely ravishing! Deadly interesting! Thank you so much!
Thank you old bean. That was a jolly good video.
When you said "Goodness Gracious me!"🤣🤣 Amazing!🔥
Who else is British but just wants to sound more British???
Oh just me :/
Do British weeaboo exist? There's a whole lot of them in the comment section 🤣
You're a scream, Tom! 😂 Wish I could do that accent. I'm from Glasgow 🤭... Toodle pip ! Off we jolly well go!
Why thank you my dear I am chuffed to bits you enjoyed. Tally ho and toodle pip
😂 😂
I do, however, run a crazily 'wordy' family. Not a mathematical brain between us 😁 Living in Belgium and the (grown up) kids all born here, we all speak a couple of languages. (It's easier on the continent, so NOT to boast!) But we love language, words, accents, dialects and I love your channel! 😁 🙋🏻♀️ Isobel
This is a splendid introduction to posh English! Marvellous, old bean!
Hi there Tom! I love your videos! They're terrific! I have a suggestion for you: you could use the corona virus as an "opportunity/excuse" to explain the "used to" structure vs present simple (before the corona virus I/my best friend and I/people... used to... and now...). Also, if you added the "would" alternative to the "used to" structure and if you explained the subtle differences between these two, that would super!!! I hope you'll consider my suggestion. It could be useful for students & teachers too! Thank you very much!
Oh my gosh Tom how could you forget "well done"!!! I say that all the time and I am from New York but I say it because I like how posh it sounds. Well done here actually means how you like your steak / meat cooked lol!
I only could imagine you on Downton Abbey
I'm in the next series as the bumbling English teacher who falls in love with Lady Mary but hs his heart broken when I discover its unrequited love : (
Me too!😂
This was so enjoyable and fun!!! 👍 Thank you
Why thank you my dear : )
Thanks Tom. I get to learn something new eveytime i watch your videos. Although sometimes i must say i feel discombobulated. Come back here in hk. God bless you.
You have a flat broad tongue (you may or may not have macroglossia -- one would need to take measurements to determine its volume relative to the volume of the oral cavity), and this is causing you to have a slight lisp. Also you have a mild Class 3 intergnathic relationship (the mandible is held slightly anterior to the maxilla).
Also negative canthal tilt. He needs to start mewing.
In eloquent RP I would suppose, you wouldn’t refer to tipsy as blotto for that term means very drunk, instead, the correct way to say it in such parlance would be “tight”.
Hi Tom😁 this is Ashley.....I so love love love your vlogs I teaching myself how to speak in a British accent with the help of your videos. In South Africa we spell most of our words like you do in Britain but sadly we just dont have thee accent🤕....anyway I love Britain, London especially🤩 it's my favourite place in thee world💕. I hope to visit in the near future😭.....Thanks Tom you have helped alot with you videos.
Shout Out!....all the way from South Africa
Is good to be back. I have been a way from social media for a while but because of the quarantine guess who back. This was a great video to watch.
3:45: *_💎Such perfection💎._*
how to pronounce "t" in posh accent, because i feel the "t" in posh sounds a little bit softer
Tom, I wanted to write to you on Monday after the Queen's special address. When I hear her speak, I think of you now 😄😉👍 Stay safe!!
I love the way you speak☺ and I admire your sense of humour😁. Great job👍👍👍
I think you’ve got it! By George, I think you’ve got it!
Hahaha I need to do a part two with By George
Yes we really do need a part 2 Tom....I love this Posh accent!😁
Hi Tom!
You forgot "bravo!!"
Tiddly pip old chap!!
Greg van Namen Aaaaaaggggghhhhh! Those expressions are used by a dying elite.
@@johnbrassey5481 hahahaha brillant !!!
When you say very in the posh way it remembers me Scottish accent of professor Mcgonagall. I don’t know if it’s similar or not but I had this impression when I hear that.
I love this video. Have you ever try to make a livestream video? I think it will be interesting if you make one.
You are doing a great job. Wish you a good health!!!
2nd comment: What a blessing it is to love words.
Rather ! 😁😉
Omg he just called me pretty and be wants to marry me. He is a gentleman
I'm American so I don't know bc I'm not British, but I hear almost a musical lilt with the posh English 😃 the sound goes up/down at the beginning or end of a word. Love it!
Brilliant class!
