      I am English,Not many people speak like that unless they are posh or privately educated.
      We all have regional accents. I am from the north east boarding Yorkshire. We drop our T's a lot. we say summit instead of something, or nowt instead of nothing. I find accents fascinating.

    • @Tykewarrior
      @Tykewarrior Před měsícem +18

      No such thing as Queens English. I believe you are referring to Received Pronunciation e.g 1960’s BBC news reader-style. This guy here is teaching something akin to ‘Thames Estuary’ English. Think Harry Potter or Jennifer Saunders. English with the regional accents removed. And to those of you harping on about accents - how do you expect foreigners to learn English without a standard reference sound? That reference accent is what this guy is doing. Imagine learning Scouse English!!

    @mitetoOoOoO Před měsícem +10

    Drop the r only if it's not followed by (or the next word doesn't start with) a vowel. In those cases you'll need to pronounce it. For example you'll not pronounce the r in "far" if it's on its own. But you will pronounce that same r in "far away".

    • @asliceofjackie91
      @asliceofjackie91 Před měsícem

      There are actually plenty of accents where far away would be pronounced something akin to "fah away". You can hear it all the time in British TV dramas. "British" is just as diverse as the American accents are, not only US but Canada as well.

    • @gillianwray9051

      The double t in little is a glotal stop rather than a hard t sound. Same with cotton.

  • @JB-qf5ep
    @JB-qf5ep Před měsícem +1

    To be a little more accurate on point 3, pronouncing Ts is a bit more complicated. Its about placement, and then the placement can be a soft indicator of either regional accent or class. You can pronounce the Ts heavily with placement in the front of your mouth with your teeth. Then there is a placement of half pronouncing Ts using the back edges of your tongue against the roof and creating some air in the centre of your mouth that is closed off at the front. Then the other option is using the glottal stop even further back where the T is pronounced even less than in American English. Which of these placements is used can also change depending on the word, energy and environment. There are basically 3 different ways of saying a word like 'cattle', and I use all 3 depending on where I am and how I feel.

    • @paula-pw7yd

      Apart from he's partially wrong. We don't drop Rs, we just don't over-enunciate them. If it was dropped or silent, it wouldnt be word, it would be wod. If you dropped them after a vowel, you'd never be able to say words like arrow, for instance. We also don't change T to D - nothing to do with enunciating T but more that we don't exchange them for a totally different letter.

    There are also different accents depending on what part of the country you’re from…. Someone born and raised in Liverpool for instance sounds quite different than someone from London.
