6
In this video I'm going to be talking about some key
في هذا الفيديو سأتحدث عن بعض النقاط الأساسية
7
points where you can really make your accent sound a lot more British.
نقاط يمكنك من خلالها جعل لهجتك تبدو بريطانية بشكل كبير حقًا.
8
I'll go over five main points today which will be word choice, consonants, vowels, intonation and finally how to practice to perfect your British accent.
9
Whether this is for acting or
10
if you just want to learn how to speak with more
11
of an RP accent then hopefully this video can help you out.
12
I'll particularly focus on the vowels
13
and the consonants as these are are the areas where you can really make the most immediate impact
14
and immediate difference to the way that your accent sounds.
15
Today we'll only be going through tips to speak with a modern or modified RP accent which is just my accent, this is how I speak.
16
RP stands for received pronunciation and is sort of traditionally known as the standard accent for people in the south of England.
17
This standard southern British English is sort of a bit like the accent
18
that BBC broadcasters speak with so sometimes it's also known as BBC English
19
or Queen's English it is predominantly spoken in the south of England
20
but obviously it's not confined to this geographical area and there are
21
so many different varieties of British English even within the south
22
so if you're interested in learning an accent
23
that sounds a bit like mine then keep watching this video
24
so the first thing that you want to pay attention to
25
when you're trying to sound more British is actually word choice and vocabulary.
26
I'm not going to go into this in too much detail, but it's really important to make sure the words you're choosing are the British version rather than let's say the American version.
27
So just some examples here would be for example trash in American English is known as rubbish in the UK.
28
Some other examples include pants versus trousers, which is what we would say in Britain.
29
There are also certain words or expressions
30
that just sound quintessentially British such as the adjective knackered to describe when you're really tired,
31
I'm absolutely knackered, or phrases like that's a good shout.
32
When speaking to an American friend of mine I sometimes use this phrase
33
and he's a bit baffled like oh what does that mean, what does good shout mean?
34
It just means that's a good idea essentially.
35
So by choosing your words and phrases carefully you can sound more British in this way.
36
The second thing to really pay attention to is is your consonants.
37
So consonants are an area where British English, particularly RP, really distinguishes itself from other forms of English accents.
38
There are two key points that I want to address here.
39
Firstly is the T sounds.
40
Make sure that you enunciate all of your Ts.
41
This T sound should be clearly enunciated at the beginning, in the middle, and also between words.
42
So examples of this would be the word to or teacher.
43
You want to really like make sure that that T sound is there, but it's not a very hard T that you spit out.
44
It's like a sort of light T.
45
So it's not like teacher, it's just teacher.
46
And you can clearly hear that T sound.
47
A huge difference between American and British sounding English is the T in the middle of words, such as words like water.
48
So the word water in RP, the T in the middle is clearly a T.
49
Apologies in advance for my American accent.
50
I can't really do an American accent, but I'll try to just give you an example.
51
In American English, they might say it more like a D, like water.
52
Other examples of this include the word better versus better, or city versus city.
53
so make sure that those are really coming out clearly.
54
Next is tease between words so for example the phrase let it be.
55
The T isn't a D sound.
56
Again it's this making sure that it's clearly a T sound
57
and not a D sound
58
so I feel like sometimes in American English people say let it be almost like a D
59
but this is let it be or another example it is what it is.
60
So I'm just going to put a phrase on screen now
61
and I'd like you to read it out in a British accent including all the Ts.
62
So that would be pronounced it is what it is.
63
One thing you may be wondering about is something known as the glottal stop.
64
So in some variations of British English the glottal stop is used in place of a T.
65
So for example the word water with a glottal T would sound like water.
66
So it's where the T isn't just fully removed.
67
It's like, for example, and you're about to put the T in, but then you kind of, there's a tension in your throat that just cuts off the sound.
68
I would say that this isn't really part of RP English, so if that's the accent you're aiming for, then glottal stops are not something that you need to worry about,
69
but I thought I would just address them as they are a very widespread part of other forms of British English.
70
A very commonly cited example of this is I want a bottle of water,
71
which with glottal stop T's instead of normal T's would sound like a bottle of water.
72
A bottle of water.
73
I can't do it.
74
The second point in consonants is the R sound.
75
So often the R sound is actually dropped in British English.
76
While the T's are always pronounced, the R's are sometimes dropped.
77
This is known as a non-rhotic.
78
Essentially in RP, you only pronounce the R sound when there is a vowel sound after the R.
79
In examples such as the word British, you do pronounce the R sound because there's an I sound right after it, a vowel sound.
80
But in other examples such as the word teacher, it has an R on the end of it but there's no vowel sound after the R.
81
So we don't actually enunciate the R sound itself.
82
So for example in American English sometimes you'll hear something more like teacher.
83
What?
84
Obviously my American accent is terrible so please forgive me for that.
85
So some examples of where this R is dropped off and replaced with the diphthong vowel, essentially a kind of longer version of the vowel,
86
are words like doctor, teacher, water,
87
better learn work party cart bird
88
so dropping off the r sounds where there's no vowel sound after the r is really important to developing
89
that rp sounding accent next coming to vowel sounds
90
vowel sounds are so important to nailing a british accent or any accent for that matter
91
so I'll be going over a couple of sounds that are quintessentially British that you can incorporate into your own speaking.
92
There are a set number of key vowels including diphthongs that are important to learn and there's a table of them.
93
I'll include one over here that you can just use for reference.
94
There are so many more thorough accent learning resources online if you're interested in that.
95
So the first vowel sound that is super important to British English is the schwa sound.
96
This is the most common vowel in British RP English so it's super important to nail this as it's absolutely everywhere.
97
And examples that include it include similar words that we've used before actually, things like teacher, that uh at the end,
98
water, doctor, even the word the itself has that uh sound.
99
And to make this vowel sound you essentially want to have
100
a fairly relaxed mouth with your tongue just resting in your mouth and you just want to go uh.
101
The next vowel is the short sound.
102
This sound is very British and is included in words such as hot,
103
stop, slot, got, all of these sorts of words with this oh sound.
104
In for example American English the word stop might be more pronounced as stop rather than stop.
105
So this is a very round shape with the mouth with the lips slightly pushing out
106
and the tongue just slightly relaxed and flattened in the mouth.
107
The next vowel is the long A sound.
108
This is like an R sound, which is present in words such as grass, bath, father, rather, fast, last.
109
To make the sound, open your mouth quite wide, like almost like you're going to the dentist.
110
Flatten your tongue and slide it back a little bit and make this R sound,
111
ah that kind of sound and just practice last past bath grass
112
and this is in contrast to an almost hard a where
113
in some areas of britain in british english instead of having this long a sound
114
which is present in rp english there's an almost like an ah sound instead so instead of bath it will be bath.
115
The next vowel is a big round O sound.
116
So this is present in words such as hello, no, slow, low, go, halo, zero.
117
And this is actually a diphthong where there's actually almost two sounds within the vowel and the vowel changes over time.
118
That's what a diphthong is essentially.
119
It's sometimes known as a gliding vowel.
120
So the sound goes from oh, oh, it's like your mouth closes down as you go through the vowel, oh.
121
To make this sound your tongue starts off nice
122
and relaxed with your mouth slightly open in a round shape
123
and then as you progress through the vowel you kind of imagine it kind of closing down oh oh
124
that kind of thing and I think this one's quite important to nail
125
because it's in the word hello
126
and I feel like sometimes people try to mimic the British English accent the RP accent with the word hello
127
and the really key thing that distinguishes whether they've nailed it or not is is this O sound at the end.
128
So some people almost over emphasize and they go, hello, but that's almost closing it down too fast.
129
It needs to be a very gradual O, quite relaxed O.
130
And it's also not a single sound.
131
It's not O.
132
Some people say hello or hello, hello.
133
It's not that, it's hello.
134
Finally, the fourth thing to pay attention to is the rhythm and intonation.
135
This is so important, but it's really hard to teach in a few quick tips something
136
that you need to really absorb over time.
137
And this includes all the stresses and emphases on the word and essentially the musicality of the language.
138
And this really contributes to making you sound more British and also making you sound more understandable as well.
139
So how can you practice all of this?
140
I would recommend listening to plenty of podcasts or radio shows and also watching TV shows,
141
movies or YouTube videos with people speaking in this accent.
142
And what you can do is a technique called mirroring, which is essentially where you play or listen to them say a phrase, and then you pause whatever it is, and then you say it back.
143
You repeat this process a few times to try to imitate their accent as closely as possible.
144
And one thing that can help, and lots of students that I've had have found helpful, is if you focus specifically on a few vowels or a few consonants at a time.
145
So for example if you start with a sentence
146
and you specifically focus on making sure you nail all the T's
147
or making sure that you nail all the O sounds
148
and then you can kind of build up from there
149
so it doesn't feel too overwhelming or paralyzing
150
because it's a lot to try to change an accent and it does take a lot of work.
151
This technique called mirroring is actually something I used extensively when I was trying to learn Mandarin.
152
I'll link a video over here somewhere about my experience of learning Mandarin and how I did that.
153
But otherwise, I hope this video has been helpful or interesting in some way, and I really hope it helps you to get closer to your goal of maybe sounding more British.
154
If you enjoyed this video, you might like this one over here, where I talk a bit more about accents and language learning.
155
Thank you so much for watching.
156
Take care of yourself, and I will see you in the next video.
157
Bye!
