How to Pronounce 10 Difficult Words in Modern British RP

Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.
Let's learn 10 difficult words and how to pronounce them with a modern RP British English accent. Everything I teach in this video is related to the modern British pronunciation we hear in the South of England.

Eliott could you make videos talking about " the most common mistakes that natives do in speaking?"

[@paulgiaccone6115]

One of these mistakes is "do a mistake". The correct expression is "make a mistake".

[@SombreRaven]

"on accident" >:(

You've chosen some of the most common words that are typically mispronounced. Your explanations are very clear - great job! I love your soft British English and your kind eyes.

[@dinalinipunika1129]

Thank you. Very clear

[@agustinadelatorre1620]

I think I'm in love. The study of phonetics is one of my favorite branches of the English language, together with probably syntax. I was looking for a cool video to teach pronunciation to one of my students and came across this channel. Already subscribed! thanks Eliott

[@adsoyad7041]

The most diffuclt word to say is "sorry".

[@jacklee8997]

Sorry

[@Kamii-th1je]

Sorry (hi for my English)

[@Ranno1997]

the best teacher!!! I've been watching your videos for 3 days and i'm really enjoying it. Your videos are short, very helpful, simple and interesting. The way you explain things is amazing and how you throw an information here and there while you're explaining leaves me fascinated. Thanks a lot for your diligence and generosity. Keep it up!

[@billynicole7230]

I actually love accents. It is so sweet. There are little nuances in each language learning English and it is so sweet.Thanks for teaching and using the mouth and tongue technique. :)

[@0oSunfloweRo0]

Gosh, I literally love your lessons! Best teacher ever :)

[@wcm1123]

Hi Elliott. I’m one of your new follower from Hong Kong. How lucky I can catch your video up here, I really tend to have a British accent it’s sounds beautiful and gorgeous! I’m now starting to watch all of your videos that was fabulous for me! Thank you:) I’m in the beginner stage of learning English, feel sorry if I made mistake of my writing;)

[@daviskd2680]

Dear Elliot, you are a wonderful native English teacher. I'm an Indian retired teacher who taught English phonetics for 40years .I do appreciate your teaching ability and thank you very much for your inspiring class on the pronunciation of difficult English words .

[@caninbar]

I'm a native English speaker and I find you very enjoyable to watch. Bravo!

[@m_____l___]

The words "work", "girl" and (ironically) "word" are so hard to pronounce, aghh... Not to mention "-th" sound, when I read the sentence "We've been through thick and thin" I feel that it sounds like I have a lisp... I actually barely use english language in my life (sadly!), never talked to an english native before (like face to face), but I recently discovered your channel and your explanation on how to pronounce words in english accent is very helpful! I really enjoy your videos and I am motivated to practice my pronunciation (although I don't really need it in my life, YET (maybe someday!)) along with your lessons! Keep up the good work, cheers! P.S. I might've used too much brackets, haha, sorry!

[@sodiumta3239]

Teach me english

[@user-kp8zq4wh7n]

I love watching your videos. They do improve my English pronunciation, and your ways of teaching are easy to follow and understand. I used to study English Phonetics, but it's quite hard for me LOL. Anyway, could you make a video about other theoretical concepts in English Linguistics like Pragmatics? If possible, it would be great.

[@riridima]

Hi Elliott, thank you for making this video. I'm so grateful to find your channel because I want to improve my pronunciation and start learning British accent.

[@BaggerPRO]

Great selection of words! I also often came across these words and found it quite difficult to pronounce. Thank you very much for the video with clear explanations!

[@stelselv]

Thank you... English is my first language n I m learning to speak English again, because of the """Americanization "" of so many words..... It is confusing..😁

I have been working with a British company for six years. The British accent is always something to be missed or "teased" since I left the company. Glad to find this video and I will keep practicing!

[@MrKotaro0726]

I was really shocked with the correct pronounciation of Entrepreneur!! I used to pronunce Enter(like a verb with the accent in the last)-Pri-Nour.

Hi Elliot and congratulations for the magnificent work you’re doing here. Have you ever thought about creating a podcast channel?

[@siktabanerjee6046]

You are great.I am much older than you, but I really learn many things from your easy-go, smiling teachings.

[@maritanovdo9293]

I like the way you explain. Your British pronunciation is very clear.

[@moonlamb7345]

Thanks very much for your lovely teaching! The "sixth" is really a hard one! In the future, I think it would be lovely if I could possibly learn how native speakers use "here you go", "there you are", "here we go", "there you go", "here i come" ......... I heard them all the time but it seems no one can really explain to me what they are in a systematic way. Please help!

[@PhantomZeef]

Thx, some words in this video I've been pronounced it wrong so far!.

[@wesleysantos3]

I'm in love with this channel. I'm studying english about 1 year. In february I had an opportunity to make a travel to London, it was the best thing eveeer. I don't know if you're from London but you accent is very similar and I love it. One day I hope be really fluent in english. I'm from Brazil :)

[@zsuzsannaagocs5719]

I'm Italian. "Tea" Is the word I pratictised the most working in a tea shop. Seems easy, but It took me a while to remind myself to put enphasis on the t at the beginning. Same for all short words beginning with t, like ten

[@wajdF]

MyLoVeLyMaN well I'm flying to Italy for MBA, I would love to know if I could face any communication problem there as most of the people there speak Italian. Please enlighten me. And well, I've began to learn British English from this channel. Had Eliott not been there, it would have been difficult for non-native English students to learn better English at home.
