British Accents vs American Accents As We Practise English Pronunciation Ep 532
Today we are going to look at the differences between British English and American English pronunciation. Do you really want to sound more like James Bond, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Daniel Craig than a mix of Bill Murray, President Obama, and Ben Stiller? If you want to sound more British when you speak, rather than American, then this podcast will share some secrets that will help you understand why we sound the way we do. Learn What English Accent You Have As We Talk About The Differences Between British & American Accents ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/practise-english-pronunciation-british-vs-american-accent/ Of course, there are many wonderful British accents, and there are a lot of lovely American accents as well. I’m going to give this lesson using my accent. I would class my accent as contemporary received pronunciation RP, which is just a way of saying I speak using an accent you would hear in and around London and the South East of England. My accent is a clear and correctly spoken accent, so it’s a good place for ESL (English as a second language) learners to start. It’s the sort of accent you would want for your spoken English to be understood around the world. If you want to sound Scottish or Welsh or Irish, or want one of the many lovely regional accents to be found in the UK, then this probably isn’t the lesson for you. I know I say this a lot, but I think it’s important. Ultimately, having an accent when you speak English should not matter. But accents, especially strong ones, can sometimes impede people understanding what you say. As a new language learner, you probably don’t want any additional barriers to being understood. You will definitely adopt the accent from your English language teacher, and it won’t be easy to correct later on. So knowing that should help you make a more informed decision about what accent your language teacher has, and whether that matters to you Learn more about our courses here: https://adeptenglish.com/language-courses/ Adept English is here to help with FREE English lessons and language courses that are unique, modern and deliver results.
