  • At school I was taught English with an RP accent, watched BBC and thought well, it seems I can communicate with anyone in England. Until the immigration officer at Heathrow asked me "Washapurpsavisit". I thought Jesus is it even Britain. Later, I found out that only 3 per cent of England speak with an RP. So that probably was the biggest misconception about Britain

    • Serdar Durdyyev It tends to be quite regional. Even within London you wouldn't get anyone speaking RP outside of certain cliques in West & latterly North London. Stangley enough a LOT of posh kids aspire & effect to speak in my accent which is E.London & traditionally at the bottom of the socioeconomic spectrum but it is very fashionable!

    • There is a podcast called ' Slate presents Lexicon Valley' and there is one podcast entitled ' Why Do People Talk Like That in old Movies?' It discusses precisely this shift in the prewar American accent and the post war accent. Very interesting. It's fascinating to listen the many clips they use to illustrate this your point and the change pre war/ post war is really dramatic.

    • Dexter Riley the Transatlantic accent isn't RP; it is a hybrid of American nasality of English pronunciations combined. it is NOT RP

      @edg6762@edg67627 жыл бұрын

    • Damremont18 that pre war accent wasn't spoken by the average American. it literally was contrived by actors to sound more appealing to both British and American audiences. Don't think for a minute lay people in America spoke like that. it was never that way except for actors during the role. The only group of Americans to ever speak Transatlantic English outside of acting were the Boston Brahmin. and that is a very small part of Boston society and even they recognize their accent is largely made up. Original settlers of America all spoke with multiple British accents and those accents all combined to create the American Standard today. It's not like one day Americans just decided to stop sounding British. In fact it was more than when England deliberately changed their speech to the Queen's English that coastal areas followed in suit due to trade and commerce.

  • When teaching accents I think one thing that many fail to cover is that of cadence. The Cadence of British speech is different from that of an American. It might be helpful to teach that for those who wish to master a British accent. If the cadence is off, it will come across as an American faking the accent. Oh sure the pronunciations may even be correct but if the cadence is off, it will sound off.

    • Yes, a halfway British-American sound is a typical problem of mine, too :/ I could easily produce a perfect American accent, a kind of Texan one, but I don't want to, the British is clearly the more respectable one (even by the Americans themselves).

  • Wow you’re channel is fantastic! Very well done! Just a small correction: non-rhotic doesn’t mean that you don’t pronounce the ‘r’ you do pronounce it if it is occurs before the vowel or between two vowels but indeed the british ‘r’ is different from the American ‘r (am=rhotic br= alveolar approximant )

  • Stupid question maybe someone can answer me: The word "whence", is it still used? I usually only read it in kinda old texts so i'm not sure as to wether it is still usable today in normal english? Sounds so much better than "from where" (especially writing english tests) but as i said i dont know if i can use it in my school's dictionaries it doesn't exist but these lack any mildly complicated or unnecessary term anyway, help, anyone?

    @overgrownkudzu@overgrownkudzu7 жыл бұрын

    • Unfortunately that word isn't used often, nowadays. That shouldn't stop you from using it, though! We need to save lovely old words like 'whence' (and even 'one', meaning you/we/people in general) because they serve a function. Losing them would be such a shame. If you say 'whence' it will make you sound educated and somewhat old-fashioned, but people will understand you.

    • so it's grammatically correct? i'm insisting on this as most of the stuff i write outside the interet will usually be graded and i can't use stuff that's officially wrong. But you're right, i love using "one" as well, sounds so much better than saying "you" all the time as a general descriptor. but i hate these things, i've had a long discussion with my teacher lately if you can use "they" instead of "he or she". any opinions on that?

      @overgrownkudzu@overgrownkudzu7 жыл бұрын

    • Émile Yeah absolutely, it is grammatically correct, just very uncommon. As to using 'they' instead of he or she, that's also grammatically correct - if you don't know how many people there are, or you're talking about one person but you don't know their gender, it's totally correct to use 'they'. They explain it quite well here: en.oxforddictionaries.com/usage/he-or-she-versus-they
