Love it. As always.
Nice that you included Cardiff.
I would have added Gloucester, Worcester, Loughborough, Durham and Plymouth.
Hi Tom. I love your videos, being a teacher of English in Italy, I find them inspiring. Well done. It would be nice to have a video with the names of the people living in these 20 cities e.g.: Londoners, Glaswegians, etc. Keep it up!
Great idea sheila maria eyles! I'll add it to my video list. Thanks!
My ears hear : landen, edenbrahh, oxförd, cämbridge, brighten, Manchester, börmingâm, liverpool,newcastle, bornmöth, baffff, Bristol, Glasgōw, liiids, kardiff, yok, nottingâm, Belfast, lester , Sheffield ,
Are you swedish by any chance
What about Aberystwyth, Bicester, Cirencester, Derby, Dumfries, Ely, Frome, Gloucester, Hartlepool, Llanelli, Leicester, Leominster, Loughborough, Marlborough, Marylebone, Mousehole, Reading, Powys, Slough, Tottenham, Fowey, Isley, Gwynedd, Ruislip, Pontypridd, Durham, Woking, Worcester...
You'll love this one: czcams.com/video/9q7VjLVU8Ec/video.html
Cei Newydd 😂 idk if u know where that is
I think you should also talk about Worcester. I live here and people often struggle with saying the name :D
Ha ha - yes that's a tough one!
Yes, please, and even more so Worcestershire!! Like the sauce! I remember having issues as a kid trying to figure that out!
plantbasedmartyna how would you pronounce that?
Worcester = Wuhster, emphasis on 1st syllable, Worcestershire = Wuhster-sher, Worcestershire sauce = Wuhster sauce (!)
similar to Leicester - "c" read as "s"
The hardest part is to know which city is the most beautiful.
You're right, it's a tough one Claudia. London gets my vote but then I'm a little biased as it's where I live!
Swansea
Edinburgh is quite pretty, plus its like an hour away from the Highlands. London is kind of ruined by the ugly towers they've put everywhere recently imo - they've ruined the skyline of the city. Still worth a visit though.
York for sure
Cláudia Carvalho mine
Rules:
-ham becomes -m (Nottingham > Notting'm, Birmingham > Birming'm, Tottenham > Tot'n'm)
-cester becomes -ster (Leicester > Lester, Gloucester > Gloster, Worcester > Wooster)
-ford becomes -f'd (Hereford > Heref'd, Oxford > Oxf'd, Ashford > Ashf'd)
-mouth becomes -m'th (Weymouth > Weym'th, Bournemouth > Born'm'th, Portsmouth > Portsm'th)
-borough or -brough becomes -bruh (Edinburgh > Edinbruh, Peterborough > Pet'rbruh, Middlesbrough > Mid'l'sbruh)
-ton and -don become -t'n and -d'n (London > Lund'n, Brighton > Bri't'n, Southampton > Southam't'n)
er becomes ar (Hertford > Hartford, Berkshire > Barksheer, Derby > Darby)
-bridge becomes -brij (but you knew that) (Cambridge > Caimbrij, Tonbridge > Tubrij, Uxbridge > Uxbrij)
Royal becomes (Royal Leamington Spa > Lemingt'n Spar, Royal Tunbridge Wells > Tubrij Wells, Royal Kingston upon Thames > Kingst'n upon Tems)
Long words become short words (The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea > Kensin't'n and Chelsee, Rhoose Cardiff International Airport > Cardif Airport, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch > That realee long naim'd place in Wales)
Of course, the difficulty for US speakers is that they are accustomed to the southern city of Birmingham (Alabama) which is pronounced with a hard, mouth wide open "ham." Very different than the soft British pronunciation. Hard, open mouth last syllables are part and parcel of southern speech.
And add a lovely Southern drawl.
But then we have our wonderful nation also naming it's states Arkansas when it's pronounced Ar-Ken-Saw.
Tom, thank you so much for this video! Very useful for my students! This summer I visited London, Cambridge, York, Bath, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Glasgow. It was an extremely amazing tour! I'd like to visit Oxford, Manchester, Stradford-upon-Avon, Brighton and Leeds. Hope to meet you someday in London!
Wow what a tour. Sounds fantastic! Looks like you've seen lots of the UK.
Stratford upon Avon is beautiful. It's close to me, I live in Birmingham and I love visiting Stratford.
One of my friends is from Preston. I never hear anyone ever talk about it, lol.
You missed out Reading, Salisbury, High Wycombe and Gloucester :)
He missed out YORK too..as in..
YORK is my favourite part of an egg
irrelevant
yay reading my hometown
Gilberto Cunha Pretty much all the -shires.
He also missed out Lincoln city, or its called Lincoln.
Lincoln is easy to pronounce but..some people would say it wrong at the end.
Well done! Thank you! Big help! It can have part II and you could make with underground stations, countryside towns, etc. This is a way to learn how to pronounce the names correctly and at the same time learn more about the country too!
What a great video idea Rezaul - I'll add it to my list. Thanks!
I'd like to visit Cambridge and Oxford.Have you visited all the cities that you mentioned?.
Cambridge and Oxford are beautiful cities and well worth a visit. I've visited most of the cities on the list but still a few more to explore!
Great stuff, thank you. Maybe you could do a cathedral tour for middle ages enthusiasts, there are a lot of names that aren't so easy to say: Worcester (mentioned below), Gloucester, Hereford, Wells, Chichester, Salisbury, Ely, Peterborough, Southwark, Durham, Lincoln, Exeter, Norwich, etc. See you again :)
Nice compilation of cities with an engaging video!
I'm brazillian and i don't speak/ understand english so good.
But the way u talk it sounds so easy to understand.
Nice video ^^
It's a great help indeed. Thanks for the video and effort behind this. 👍
Your pronunciation is very well and clear.. I love ur videos thank you very much Teacher 🙌👏👏
So glad you can understand me clearly Gerardo Coto Villalobos.
Well taught, thanks [I'm from Germany and an English fanatic ;-)].
Germans tend to pronounce London oddly, though… :)
Good to know that even within the UK there are different pronunciations for the same place.
I have a tendency to say bel-FAST instead of BEL-fast and started to think maybe I'd been pronouncing it wrong. Thank you for letting me know that BOTH are correct but the way I was pronouncing it was how the locals do it.
That video is so helpful! Thanks a lot ! 😊
As an American, it’s pretty hard to pronounce these and I didn’t know how to pronounce those cities but it’s awesome to hear
You should come to Gloucester & Worcester.
I live in Boston, Massachusetts in New England and we pronounce the town/city/street names with the London accent.
When I'm saying London , stop it and say loud London.. I'm saying it Now London
Shtoppit!
Another brilliant video, mate
Feeling kinda relieved to know he picked my home city Sheffield
Some of my favorite bands are from your city!
You missed *NORWICH* which also has a big student population and is a difficult word for the non English to pronounce
Is it the same pronunciation for the wich as in Greenwich ?
Norritch. Or Naaartch if you're local.
@@P3ANUTBABY Ha! Yes, so true!
Thank you for stressing the importance of stressing the first syllable always to be correct. It' s a great advise I always give to my students, too.
I remember one of the first lessons of Phonetics at University. Our professor taught us a few rules and things, then he started with proper names which are exceptions from the rules. I was a bit shocked about the -ham endings, then by Leicester and Thames, but nothing beats the prononciation of Featherstonehaug :) Thanks for the lessons, I really miss phonetics and English classes, so I enjoy watching you!
Yes we have some confusing place names in Britain that's for sure! Glad you're enjoying the videos Adriana. Thanks for your comments.
Yes, very much! Keep up the good work :)
I think that it would be useful to drop some of the towns into categories, because there are patterns.
The most significant is the simplification of the "cester" place names-
Leicester Gloucester, Worcester and Bicester form a clear pattern which is easiest to learn and remember all together.
These are the easy places. You should do names like Warwick, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire Durham Ynysybwl, Cwm Clydach, RCT, Wales, Beaulieu, Hampshire, Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and Woolfardisworthy, Devon.
Thanks very much for your help and greetings from Berlin!
Thank tout son much .being an English teacher ,Ifound your vidéos very intersting
should have thrown a shire in there. Americans pronounce it like they are reading the Hobbit. Worcestershire would have been nice. :P
war-sester-shy-er :P
We Americans, as a whole, know how to pronounce Worcestershire, but thanks for the generalization. Very few Americans mispronounce the word.
Leigh Sutherland I pronounce it “War-sta-sher” p. I guess I take the “cer””er””re” in Worcestershire.
Scottish do the same. As in Aberdeenshire. The “shire” is emphasised
And yet when they pronounce New Hampshire, one of their own states, they do it right. Go figure.
Living in the south of England I know Reading is a problem for most foreigners, at least until they are told. It also was a problem for the Google satnav until fairly recently. Which in turn I found tricky at least occasionally as the incorrect pronunciation throws you for a second (can't remember the places, there were also a few others in the Berkshire/Hampshire area)
Standing at the railway station in Slough once, I remember explaining to some very nice American tourist ladies that it was pronounced Sl-ow, to rhyme with cow, and not slew. They were catching a train to Reading, via Burnham, so we moved onto those two next....
Nottingham is my favorite. Thank you Tom you're still the best!
todays lesson is very very useful to me!!!
So pleased Doka!
I was born in Leeds but grew up in Keighley. So If I say “bath”, due to being northern I say a subtle (lower case) “a” rather than how southerners say it “ar”. It’s not “Barth”. But it’s just all down to pronunciation.
You should have put Norwich on there, I know so many people (especially Americans, if I go to a concert there) who pronounce it “nor-which” when it’s actually pronounced “nor-ige” 😂
Melissa Rowen, locals don’t put an ‘r’ in Bath, they say it with the longer, flattened ‘a’ typical to West Country accents, not the shorter, flattened Northern ‘a’ as suggested in this presentation.
Monty AussieAllies locals to where exactly😂😂 north and south pronounce things differently.
Melissa Rowen, Bath is the city in question, so I’m referring to those who live locally to Bath.
And I should add that the differences between the accents of the South West and South East are as wide as between the South West and the North. So to just say ‘North and South’ is a gross generalisation.
I'm brazilian and the one I really struggled to understand was Edinburgh. Had to go back a few times to really get how you pronounce
Edinbruh
Cirencester, Norwich, Salisbury are some fine examples of English places names some non-native speakers have most trouble pronouncing. There's another place name that I can"t remember now, though, but I will post it some other time.
Yes, in Edinburgh, as well as Glasgow and Aberdeen (the three biggest cities) the stress is on the first syllable, but in almost all other Scots place names the first syllable is so de-stresseed that it often virtually disappears.
I was expecting Worcestershire. Bit disappointed.
Ha ha - I'll add that one to the list for next time!
It’s not a city it’s a county
Worst Shire Sauce ever!
வூஸ்டர் ஷ if I am not mistaken ...
Keerthana Sendurvel ..It is pronounced WUSS-TER-SHER.but it is also pronounced WUSS -TER-SHIRE. I say WUSS -TER-SHEER.But that is down to the accents from different parts of the country.
Why are some of these city names here in Massachusetts? Lol Leicester (lester), cambridge, Brighton, Bristol, Sheffield) same pronunciations! Love it
that area had heavy colonisation from England. settlers called the areas they lived after where they came from, so New York is the newer York from the UK
New England
What about Tottenham?
You must be a troll. No way you didn't know that.
Because most of the earliest settlers were from GB, so they gave place names that they were familiar with. I'm from PA and it's much the same here, Warminster Warrington, Oxford. Actually you'll find that all up and down the Eastern Seaboard, there's a Brighton (Beach) on Long Island.
Thks a lot! It was very useful and highly amusing. You're an excellent teacher)).
I'm Dutch and got `m all right....so thank you very much BBC.
I think you should add three cities in this video: Durham, Windsor and Gloucester (I've been there once!).
Should have done some of the less easy . . . Southwark of London (Suthuck)
I adore Britain accent 😍 it's a beautiful places ❤ thank you Tom ❤
I studied in Leeds too. Gosh, I just watched ur video randomly. So happy to follow u!
Yay! Greetings from Bournemouth, really good to see us making the list.
Thank you so much for your generous mentorship. May I know if you roll your tongue when pronouncing Cardiff?
Worcestershire should’ve been one. I know that many Americans struggle with pronouncing it. Lol
LOL yes.
wustersha
Von Morris it’s not a city.
Worcestershire is not a city! ("shire"). Similar to New York and The state of New York...
I'm Japanese. Your video is very helpful. Thank you.
We stress the first syllables for EACH NOUN. That's what we are taught at school, but some natives are unaware of this. However, naturally pronounce them correctly regardless..
Thx Tom...Leicestershire,Leicester
Winchester Wakefield...Bournemouth was my problem too ...oh yeah my trucking yard in Sheffield 😊...great lesson mate 😁👍
One city whose pronunciation buggers people up is where my grandmother was born, and which I visited a few years ago: Hartlepool.
Please! Make a video of Londoners tube stations names! :)
+james cesari great idea! I'll add it to my video list.
Don't know if it would help or cause greater confusion, but I would include Penzance since it breaks the thread of the emphasis on the first syllable.
Belfast is has 2 stresses.. on E (main) and A (secundary)..this is how locals say it. It comes from a two words name "Beal Feirste" in Irish.
tksm for the lesson, im curently struggling with my ielts listening test as i have no idea with the pronunciation of those cities.
liked ^^
Thank you
Your voice and pronunciation is honey for my ears.
Ah what a lovely way to put it Anya - such a compliment! Thank you!
Hiii. If you have not trouble for you,can you give me some suggestion to improve english skills ,especially listening.Pronunciation is very hard and necessary for me.Thanks for everthing from now.Take care and stay bless.
Norwich, Greenwich, Ipswich ! Gloucester, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Coventry
PS I learned most British cities and towns from being a Football (UK version) fan
Norwich should have been included given that non-Brits including most Americans tend to pronounce it in the same way as "sandwich". Plymouth is another one that could have been added.
Thank you so much..... I love ur videos... And thanks for making us more efficient.. 👍👍💖💖❤❤❤
Thanks for the kind feedback nidhi
I've been in London few times and I really love this city... also Bristol and Cheltenham
London is the best! Cheltenham is quite hard to pronounce as well!
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish British people pronounce Cheltenham three different ways.
1:35 "not LOndOn" this sounded almost EXACTLY like I'd say it with the pronunciation of my language! (hungarian)
Articulation disability? With some ‘s’ and ‘t’ 🤔 and “d” . Am I wrong?
Late reply, but this is how people down south talk. Not many people pronounce every letter like you'd imagine royalty or Downtown Abbey characters doing. The pronunciation of 'a' changes to the variants he uses in Newcastle, Bath and Glasgow as you go further north. Northerners think the southern 'ar' pronunciation is posh :p
I used to study in Leeds too!!!
No way! It's the best city isn't it?
damn right it is! God, miss those times!
Salisbury? Salisbury is very popular among tourists and it could cause problems when buying train tickets :)
Southampton (Titanic exhibition)? Warwick? (Warwick castle)
I enjoyed the way of ur presentation buddy 👍😎
I got just one city right, which is Leicester but I thought you would be covering cities with tricky names. I find the glottal "t" really tricky to pronounce. It'll take some practice before I get it right :). I'd like to visit the English countryside - places like the Cotswolds.
The Cotswolds is stunning! Such a beautiful part of England. Definitely worth a visit Agnieszka!
I wouldn’t worry about learning to pronounce the glottal stop if I were you, just remember to pronounce ‘t’ as ‘tee’ . You need to be aware of the glottal stop so that you can understand those who habitually use it, but the ‘t’ sound will be understand by your listeners.
Also, when pronouncing county names ending in shire (e.g. Leicestershire) the shire part is pronounced rather like shur (Lester shur) or almost like there's no vowel at all Lester shr
Dear Teacher . I have a doubt... Would you briefly mind explaining to me or making a video about the difference between to be + past pasticiple and to have + pasticiple?? I watched on a film people saying : I wasn't finished... And I understood it how : I había terminado.. Please speak about this subject. Thanks and regards to you.. I enjoy your videos a lot.!! Guillermo
Hi Guillermo, I'll be doing series of grammar videos soon so I'll see if I can include this at some point. Cheers for the suggestion.
Thank you! I live in Southampton and really like the way it's pronounced in trains - like in 'Brighton' it often goes without 't', so it sounds like 'sauhamptn'. Portsmouth is a bit tricky, but Winchester even more. Unfortunately, newcomers normally try to speak American English even living in Britain for many years and this certainly doesn't help to pronounce British toponims as well as other words in proper - beautiful - way.
No according to this guy it should be Southumpton
This Channel will grow much, surely. I'm Brazil is already Liked of your way with do English here... Thanks, be to continue please, Guy.
I will move to London from Peru , so this video will help me so much
Wus looking for Caernavorn haha but thanks for the help.
Listen, you missed out on names like Reading, which to be honest is quite stupid to miss that one out.
how else would someone pronounce CARDIFF?
Notice how some Brits pronounce the L after a vowel in words like Bristol. It sounds like "Bristew." If you look at his articulation, his tongue is not touching his upper teeth to make the L sound at all, like we do in North America. Interesting. Then words like little are a whole other story: "li ew."
The position of the tongue in the mouth is actually how actors begin to learn different accents. As a Scottish person, if I relax my tongue more and try to speak with it in the middle of my mouth and not moving around so much I instantly have a slight (broadly) American accent. Of course that on it's own sounds ridiculous, but if I wanted to learn to sound with a general 'American' accent (I know there are many), that's the first step.
I guess the opposite would be true - and the hard sounds of the Scottish accent make sense that way. It's an easier one to explain. You can find coaching on lots of accents, & many have to do with tongue position and movement in specific sounds/types of sounds.
Thank you so much .
I used to live in Birmingham, Alabama & how we pronounce it is
BUR-ming-HAM with a proper southern drawl... I would Love to do a vid with you, to teach You/Y all how we pronounce English/American English words!! Lol
Thank you very much man!
Did Norwich just copy the misspelling from Greenwich or vice versa?
Your videos are great, instructive and practical.
Most of these are pretty straightforward, but there were a couple of surprises, of which "lester" is king. Is it true that "Worchestershire" (which looks like five syllables to an American) is condensed to two syllables by locals? What about Glouchester?
There's no H in the first part of either of those names. GLOSS te sheh and WOOSS te sheh. We do not pronounce R at the end of a syllable.
@@missharry5727 Oh, hmm. That's very different from the pronunciation others had claimed ("Gloster" / "Wooster"). Though the extent to which it differs from the spelling is comparable.
@@jonadabtheunsightly I'm deliberately leaving the R off the ends of words like this for the benefit of Americans who try to pronounce the R at the end of a word when the British wouldn't.
Leicester, Worcester and Gloucester - always the 3 names, simultaneously. Do not forget about Derby. It is the most difficult of all!
So, is Leicester pronounced "Lester?"
The suffix cester or Chester comes from the Latin word castrum, many English words come from Latin. So if a city has this suffix surely in ancient time it was a castrum of the Roman empire
@@mba1867 yes
I got to 0:36 where you say "I can only teach you with my accent". You didn't even attempt to teach people how to say "Birmingham" in the local accent. And not all people go to cities - some go to towns - how would you tell, for example, someone from the Netherlands to pronounce Featherstonehaugh or Cholmondeley (Fanshaw and Chumly). I always think that it is best to speak with an accent that at least resembles the local accent. When I moved to Denmark in 1978, I tried to speak with an accent I had learned from tape - I got laughed at or ignored (they thought my accent too royal/high class and I was only 2km from the centre of Copenhagen) until I found a bar where they refused to speak English. (There were few foreigners at the time.) After sitting, listening and drinking for 6 months I found myself understanding every word they spoke and was accepted, but somewhat poorer (luckily we spoke English at work). Then I visited a place on the West coast and in the two days I was there only understood one word "kirk" = "church", just like in Scotland. Thankfully I was in the company of a danish girl.
Oops. I guess I forgot what I was commenting about. Never mind, I'll click comment anyway.
So glad i can pronounce these cities especially london cause I never ever knew the pronunciation.
Thanks!!! Greetings from 🇲🇽 Mexico!!
"Thiuda de" Mexico :P \ #Castellano
I heard some English speakers delete the GH sound in Birmingham (Birmin'am) and Nottingham (Nottin'am)
I was in Heathrow few years ago and asked at one of the taxi/ car rental desks about a ride to Sheffield. The guy there did not understand me. I kept repeating it several time, should have asked for a pen or should he provided me with a pen. I do not think it is different from what you pronounced here or largely different. After all it is not Bournemouth or Leicester ! Finally I left. Two points here: some employees will not walk the extra mile. Natives should take into consideration that foreigners may not be that eloquent, so bear with them. Thank you
London, worsctershire sauce, Ireland Other London, London Bridge. 15 other Londonds
A good rule of thumb for most British place names is to drop the last vowel. Like "Bir-ming-m" for Birmingham
Very useful, it's not to late for me to know the correct pronunciation of Birmingham, another language teacher taught me how to pronounce Edinburgh in a right way this Sep. XD
Glad you found the video useful Maggie Ma. It's never too late to learn something new! Thanks for your comments!
Thx Tom!
.
What about Putney :d with or without t ?
many thanks
Bournemouth is the only one that would get me... The others are pretty generic here in US... We have many cities by those names. We do say the “ham” at the end.
愛丁堡後面burg我以前常念成hamburger的burg, 然後有一次在格拉斯哥火車站聽到他教的正確念法
