We are going to learn 10 ways to sound British.
2
British.
3
Like you're from the UK, innit?
4
And of course, there's no better way to learn British English than in the rain.
5
I'm completely drenched.
6
I'm soaked through.
7
I'm really wet.
8
Just give me a sec to dry off from the video intro and we'll learn how to sound British.
9
Number one, word choice.
10
There are some everyday words that are different in British English,
11
so you need to make sure you learn them.
12
In British English, this isn't candy.
13
It's a sweet.
14
Don't call it an eggplant.
15
It's an aubergine.
16
And it's definitely not a sweater.
17
It's a jumper.
18
Much better.
19
So the first tip for sounding British is to use some British specific vocabulary and try and avoid the American alternatives.
20
But it's not only vocabulary that makes us sound British.
21
Number two, idioms and expressions.
22
It's not my cup of tea.
23
You're taking the biscuit.
24
These are idioms and expressions that we use all of the time in British English,
25
and they're quintessentially British.
26
And we absolutely love using idioms and expressions.
27
If something is not your cup of tea,
28
it means it's not something you enjoy.
29
And if someone is taking the biscuit,
30
it means they are annoying you.
31
They're taking the piss.
32
So if you can use some of these idioms and expressions that we use in British English,
33
it will really help you sound British.
34
Try watching some British series,
35
British movies, or you know,
36
some British YouTubers to help you learn British expressions and idioms.

38
Number three, pronounce your Ts or don't.
39
So if you want to speak with modern received pronunciation,
40
like me, you need to pronounce all of your Ts clearly.
41
It's a T sound.
42
So in the US you're likely to hear tomato,
43
but in the UK it's tomato,
44
tomato, and the tomato is on the table, tomato.
45
And this would be a glass of water, water.
46
However, there are variations of British English where the T's in the middle of the word are not pronounced,
47
so this becomes water.
48
and this one tomato however if you want to speak English clearly
49
so everyone understands I recommend you pronounce all of your T's
50
tomato water no wait water tomato number four drop the R so in most British accents including my own
51
we don't pronounce the R at the end of words.
52
So this would be guitar.
53
So the vowel is open at the end and there's no r sound.
54
Guitar.
55
R-R, guitar.
56
And behind me you can see pictures.
57
Pictures.
58
So it's picture, uh, picture.
59
Uh, uh, picture.
60
It could be a song.
61
A guitar, a picture.
62
That's British English.
63
Number five, sentence rhythm.
64
So if you want to sound British,
65
you need to learn British sentence rhythm,
66
because there is a certain musicality to British English.
67
You can do this by listening to somebody that you like and repeating them.
68
So I will give you a sentence,
69
and you can repeat to practice.
70
I'm terribly sorry, but I can't do that today.
71
Great job.
72
Now it's stopped raining, so I'm going to go for a walk.
73
Number six, closed pronunciation.
74
So quite often British pronunciation is more closed and rounded than American pronunciation.
75
We're going to look at a couple of examples and pay close attention to my lips.
76
In American English,
77
walk walk in British English walk walk in American English
78
talk talk in British English talk talk I like to walk
79
and talk versus I like to walk
80
and talk sorry for my American accent number seven the oh sound
81
so another big difference with british english is
82
that we like to use a clear oh sound with many words for example hot
83
or oh co coffee or oh a lot i like to drink a lot of hot coffee.
84
Number eight, the R sound.
85
Okay, so another sound you need to learn if you want to sound British is the R sound.
86
It's especially common in received pronunciation.
87
So you can find it in words like dark or park.
88
I walk in the dark park.
89
Okay, I'm back home.
90
It's actually quite windy today.
91
First it was raining, now it's windy.
92
You can add that to your list of ways to sound British.
93
Always talk about the weather.
94
But anyway, back to pronunciation of R sounds.
95
In received pronunciation this would be grass grass
96
but in other accents in the UK you will say grass grass I sit on my ass
97
or I sit on my ass number nine regional slang I'm Hank Marvin so if you want to sound British,
98
you can use British slang.
99
British slang is quite regional,
100
however, it can be fun to learn.
101
So if you say, I'm Frank Marvin,
102
this is Cockney rhyming slang.
103
It originates in the east end of London,
104
and it means I'm starving, I'm really hungry.
105
You can also say I'm on my dog and bone,
106
which means I'm on my phone.
107
Now, most people in the UK will not use these terms unless it's in a playful, fun way.
108
So, you can do it as well.
109
And that can help you connect with British people because the language is not only about communication,
110
it's also about connection.
111
So, using slang can help you connect with British people.
112
Number 10, add polite softness.
113
If you want to sound British,
114
you need to sound polite.
115
That's why you need to add polite softness.
116
So you don't say, give me,
117
you need to add something before.
118
For example, could you possibly,
119
could you possibly give me a spoon?
120
Or do you mind, Do you mind passing me the water?
121
I was just wondering, I was just wondering if you would stop staring at me as I eat.
122
It's a bit weird.
123
So always remember to be polite if you want to sound British.
124
Say please, thank you, and always,
125
always remember to say sorry,
126
even if you don't know what it's for.
127
I'm just kidding.
128
So those are 10 ways to sound British.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
