Hi there everyone!
2
Welcome back to English with Catherine.
3
It's me, Catherine, here to help you with your pronunciation.
4
If you're here to compare the British accent with the American accent, or if you'd like to just pick up a few tips on how to sound more British, I'm here to help.
5
There are many British accents across the UK, it's a big place.
6
But today I'm going to be focusing on the accent that I speak with, which is called Modern Received Pronunciation.
7
And the reason for that is it's my expertise because it's my accent, so I can teach it very easily.
8
So if you're interested in learning an accent that sounds a little bit like mine Keep watching.
9
Is that the time?
10
We should start.
11
The alphabet O.
12
I call it the alphabet O because guess what?
13
It sounds like the letter O.
14
So the sound we're looking for in our British accent is Oh.
15
Oh the vowel sounds are so integral, you can actually change your entire accent if you can master the vowel sounds.
16
So let's focus on the alphabet O.
17
The rose grows.
18
like the river flows.
19
Can you hear that "oh oh oh oh"?
20
This is the music of the modern RP accent.
21
How do we make this sound?
22
Not a very wide mouth.
23
You can't make this sound if you open your mouth, loads.
24
Actually you'll probably notice that British people don't tend to open their mouth a lot when they're speaking.
25
I guess we're not that expressive because we keep everything quite understated and quite subtle, including the shape of our mouth when we talk.
26
You need to purse your lips in order to do this, which is like that.
27
O O.
28
You need to really make it sound like that letter O.
29
Even if you feel like you're exaggerating that sound, Don't worry, it sounds great to my ear.
30
It sounds exactly how it should sound.
31
Trust me, if you master this, you can really sound a lot more British.
32
Because this sound comes in so many little words that make up sentences.
33
You know, like the little words that come very very often in speech, like "no".
34
and sew and even "Hello !" There's also DON'T show and go.
35
So remember the mouth shouldn't be too open, it should be quite a gentle sound, not too loud.
36
O Oh, and come on guys, shadow me.
37
I think that's what you're supposed to say, is it shadow me?
38
Or just talk at the same time as me right now?
39
Show me how to grow a rose.
40
Show me how to grow a rose.
41
You don't have to show me, I already know.
42
So as long as you can hear that O O O sound repeating
43
I bet you've got it right and I bet you sound amazing.
44
Here are some absolutely beautiful words that you can practice along with me and just enjoy saying.
45
Number one: Bungalow Bungalow.
46
Number two.
47
Rainbow.
48
rainbow rainbow Don't you just love rainbows?
49
Number three Shadow Shadow.
50
I love that word.
51
It's so mysterious.
52
So everyone, try to master your alphabet O's to sound a little bit more British.
53
The reason it's sometimes called the long O is that you need to take your time on this sound, okay?
54
Don't rush it, because if you say it too quickly, it's not going to sound how it's supposed to sound.
55
Let's move on to secret number two.
56
Intonation So the way that we pronounce words in the modern RP accent has a kind of tune to it.
57
There's a musicality.
58
Usually in the middle of the word it goes up and down again.
59
and that creates a kind of song inside the word.
60
Today I'm going to show you the musicality of three syllable words.
61
This doesn't always happen with all three syllable words so I will show you some exceptions, but I'm going to give you quite a long list of words where it does happen.
62
for example take the word fantastic fantastic the reason people like the way
63
that that sounds is because it it has feeling doesn't it it has soul you can hear
64
that there's something going on in that word it's not just Fantastic fantastic.
65
That would be more monotone.
66
monotone.
67
There's that alphabet O.
68
Monotone.
69
But no, we don't want monotone.
70
We want music.
71
It's got emotion, it's got a human element to it.
72
And if you were to look at the psychology of why people like the modern RP or the British accent, it's quite an interesting area of study.
73
I think you'll find that it's all related to trust and authenticity.
74
Fantastic!
75
just sounds like it's got some integrity to it, some sincerity So very often with three syllable words,
76
the second syllable is stressed so that you have a pattern that's Unstressed?
77
Stressed?
78
Unstressed.
79
fantastic Even the word tomato sounds more interesting, right?
80
Tomato!
81
Somehow, because it's longer, there's more focus on it.
82
It sort of shines out more than it would if it was just monotone.
83
Here are some more words that you can read out loud and practice with.
84
Consistent.
85
Consistent volcanic Volcanic Diminish.
86
diminish.
87
I feel like a conductor right now.
88
Astonish?
89
astonish.
90
And now guys, the exceptions.
91
I'm sorry.
92
Maximum This word has three syllables and of course The first syllable is stressed: maximum.
93
Now, my theory on that word is that we kind of want to stress the max part, because it's kind of an exaggerating word, isn't it?
94
Maximum.
95
You kind of want to use it quite strongly, so sometimes the first syllable is stressed when we really want maximum effect on the meaning of a word.
96
Capital.
97
The capital of the UK is London.
98
Again, capital.
99
We are stressing that first syllable, maybe because it's such an important word, right?
100
The capital, that means the most important city in the UK, in the country.
101
I've got one more example that does follow the rule.
102
Banana.
103
Now bananas are not very serious things so you know maybe there's a rule
104
that we stress the second syllable on unimportant words or words that are not needed for effect like banana So,
105
in conclusion, in order to sound more British, make sure you have some intonation happening in your accent.
106
Don't speak with a monotone voice if you can avoid it.
107
There are little tips and tricks that you can learn, because what you're trying to achieve is a bit of animation in your voice, a bit of zest, a bit of sparkle,
108
which will make you sound more interesting, more engaging, generally.
109
There's just one thing I want to talk about before we finish, and that is to do with the language that you're actually using.
110
This is not so much about accent, this is about what you choose to use.
111
You just need to make sure if you want British accent, you need to use the words that belong to British English, rather than American English.
112
So in American they say pants, We say trousers.
113
trousers, like jeans or something like that We call them trousers.
114
We say rubbish.
115
rubbish They say trash.
116
Trash.
117
We say pavement as in you walk on the pavement at the side of the road, they say sidewalk.
118
I love that one.
119
sidewalk.
120
They say closet.
121
We say wardrobe.
122
wardrobe.
123
We say crisps Lovely, lovely salty crisps.
124
And they say, chips.
125
Chips.
126
Chips for us is a completely different thing, like fish and chips, That's what a chip is to us.
127
Here's an alphabet O for you guys. So far.
128
We say sofa.
129
They say couch couch.
130
One more, they say fall and we say autumn but you probably know that one.
131
Well guys, It's the end of the video, I really enjoyed that one.
132
You know I love teaching pronunciation.

Почему стоит практиковаться с этим видео?
Учить английский с YouTube — отличный способ улучшить произношение и освоить британский акцент, особенно если вы фокусируетесь на живой речи. Видео предлагает практику с современнымReceived Pronunciation (современным стандартным британским акцентом), который широко используется в медиа и образовании. Основное преимущество — упор на звуки, которые определяют акцент, а не на сложные грамматические правила. Это позволяет быстро заметить прогресс, особенно при использовании техники shadow speech (повторение за спикером одновременно), которая тренирует слух и артикуляцию.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
В диалоге используются простые, но часто встречающиеся структуры, которые стоит запомнить:
- "If you're here to compare..." — условное предложение первого типа, используемое для выражения реальных ситуаций. Полезно для объяснения целей или предпочтений.
- "There are many British accents across the UK" — конструкция "there are" для описания множества объектов. Важна для разговоров о культуре или географии.
- "You need to purse your lips in order to do this" — инфинитив с "in order to" для выражения цели. Полезно при объяснении действий или инструкций.
Трудные места в произношении
Основной вызов — звук "O" в британском акценте, который отличается от американского. Он звучит как "о" (например, в слове "rose" — "роз") и требует сжатия губ, а не широкого открытия рта. Трудные слова для практики:
- "Bungalow" — часто ошибочно произносят с открытым "а", но нужно сохранить "о" в середине.
- "Rainbow" — внимание на звук "о" в "bow", который не должен превращаться в "ау".
- "Shadow" — здесь "о" звучит мягко, без наклона к "а".
Для улучшения используйте Shadowing английский: повторяйте за спикером, обращая внимание на форму рта и темп. Это поможет автоматизировать правильное произношение и сделать речь более естественной.
Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:
| Конструкция | В видео |
|---|---|
| Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает | is called · are not needed |
| Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предмете | with, which is · this, which is |
| Глагол + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — глаголы, после которых идёт форма на -ing | Keep watching · enjoy saying · love teaching |
| Совет с «should» should + глагол — сказать, что стоит сделать | should start · shouldn't be |
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
