Hello Im Fernando from Brazil... your accent is pretty clear.... Easy to understand.... Im new in here... I must confess ... the British accent is the most beautiful English accent in the world...

[@ETJEnglish]

Thank you for your message Fernando :D

[@anajung8420]

So true!!! I am Brazilian also, and I have learned American accent and now I am pursuing changing my accent because I am in love with British accent!!!

[@chrysgnt4369]

When I lived in Britain, politeness was the quality of the people there that really impressed me! Saying "thank you" when you are grateful; saying "sorry" when you think that you may have disturbed or upset someone; saying "please" when you ask for something: these are lovely manners towards other human beings! I really wish there were more people behaving like this in other countries, too. In Mediterranean countries (where I am from) people push to get on the bus/train and "sorry" is not often used! In addition, people here can overdo it with indiscreet questions about age and wages. Another point is that people in Mediterranean countries can start staring at you on the bus/train just out of curiosity, most probably to see what you are wearing. I do find this intrusive and when I lived in the UK it was so refreshing to find out that this doesn't exist there. On the other hand, it is easier to strike up a conversation with someone you don't know in a Mediterranean country, as people here are very open. I found out that - at least in London - this was not common for British people to do, as they value greatly their privacy. But these are cultural differences which make our world a more interesting place.

[@linhnguyen219]

Thank you so much for hleping me to open up the conversations.Every days i meet a lot of native speakers and i often say hello to them to practice my english but i'm a very silent girl and i don't know how to talk at a long time.Your video helps me very much

[@andongxu137]

I am a Chinese student,I have watched this video for some times.I really like your styles of teaching English.I want to improve my oral English.

[@arsalan4028]

Andong Xu You can talk with me. I am studying in China now.

[@tomibru6]

I really find your Bristolian accent very beautiful and pleasant to listen to. Have you ever considered making podcasts - at the natural rate you speak - for advanced learners? I learned American English at age 13 by studying at an American school, but recently have developed an interest in British English. I've been to Engand three times and I've fallen in love with it since I first went there.

[@rainoftea]

He's got a podcast - Journeys with Elliott (on Spotify). Sorry I'm not a time traveler

[@DANIEL-sb5yp]

Thanks for the tips on how we can have a good conversation with a native speaker. In this type of situation I think the most important thing for the student is to be reasonable in asking questions to someone, opening new subjects in a conversation context and also talking about himself. Otherwise, the dialogue can become a unintentional interview.

[@vapos5454]

I appreciate your English accent, it's absolutely clear, I fully understood what you were talking about even I'm a beginner of English speaking.

[@mspsas12345]

Ur way of teaching is easy to learn ur a good teacher

[@christinaashley7312]

Great work with this channel, 99 percent of the British English on this channel is perfect and your voice is very clear and this encourage more subscribers ; like me although I am already British

[@windyexplain8604]

I really love your accent!! When I started to study English, I started with American English, but I'm getting higher British English because is really posh and polite!! I love it!! Congrats for your video

[@elysian2765]

Windy Berlofa same xD. ive been practicing for a long now, makes me sound smart and polite.

[@imspanishasianfilipi]

My brother inlaw was an english national.. they lives in england with my sister . I really love british accent

[@Steven-fr9fg]

Alright mate? I live in Korea and major in English Education so, I am very very interested in British accent because Korean students are exposure to American accent. Therefore, when we hear British English, we feel weird. Also, there is no chance to learn British English in Korea. I like your videos and they are very helpful. Lastly, I wish there are more videos about how to pronounce or speak like English speaker. Cheers mate!

[@Steven-fr9fg]

p.s. Intonation too. comparing with American English

[@ETJEnglish]

Nice to meet you mate! I agree, I have a few friends from Korea and all of them have told me about how the English education in Korea is highly based on American English and accent. I am so happy to hear that there are Koreans interested in British English though. I hope my lessons can help you all! I will try and make some pronunciation and intonation videos soon!

[@norsafa7788]

I love your comment. I can feel how much you are really into British accent, so do i. Btw,I'm from Malaysia. I had attended course at the British Council and i have met lots of Korean friends there. They have a quite strong Korean accent when they speak in english.

[@imy2421]

I am Arabic speaker I really enjoy your lessons i found them usefull

[@vintosebastian7361]

I'm vinto from India, you are the best teacher I have ever seen

[@yangyicui8954]

One more subscriber;) I like that you speak slowly, which is very much beneficial for people who just start learning English. Very thoughtful of you :)

[@EeeByGum469]

Hello Elliot! Thank you very much indeed for your video recordings. It is utterly important for me to follow your videos inasmuch as I USE them ( sorry for talking like this) to repeat after you full speeches as I best manage to do. I have to say that it is really working well for me. I am able to catch up your Britishness and pick it up. I hope I'm doing well with my pronunciation. After listening to and doing such shadow technique exercises your voice producing British accent remains long time in my mind before fading up.

[@JAY.4040]

Great advice it's absolutely interesting thanks for your time

[@diegonieto8544]

Thank you very much for your help Elliot you are a great teacher.

[@User-bf6xq]

Hello and thank you for your helpful tips. I enjoy watching your videos. I have a few questions and if you would help me with the answers I would be thankful. 1- 0:09 here you pronounce the word "master" as [ˈmæstər] whereas according to the Oxford Dictionary the British pronunciation for the word is [ˈmɑːstə(r)] 0:45 [æsk] instead of [ɑːsk] 5:15 [læst] instead of [lɑːst] 2- 00:12 here you say "there IS a lot of English speakers" whereas I'm used to reading and hearing "there ARE a lot of English speakers" 00:57 "within English culture, there IS a few rules" instead of "there ARE" 3- 5:19 "Did he say he HAS a wife?"/ "Did he say he HAD a wife?" which one is grammatically more accurate? 5:32 "You noticed he said he HAS a wife" or "You noticed he said he HAD a wife?" Thank you in advance

[@almendrars2843]

Great! I hope everyone speaks as clear as you .

[@ustdmunajahspdi2381]

[@baqeralbaqshi1457]

I like the way you talk,also I like your accent this thing really attracted me

[@gabriellehanna4201]

It's very useful for me Thank you for your video☺

[@layslifestyle2265]

Haha I got really nervous ever the very first time to talk to a native person. I got improved while putting myself into some tough situations like that after & I found out that I did such a great job haha. I’m not likely to be self-conscious though. I was literally learning how to swear in Australian slang with a group of guys who were from Melbourne lmao. But I barely remembered some of them. Mixed feelings always exist but I need to get into something like that to always keep moving on lol. Anyway,I really like your way of speaking. It’s pretty clear,really understandable n quite nice to listen to. Thank you x Have a good one

[@pianistfarahmammadova]

[@KS-qz2vo]

Am Sudanese and even within my extended family we don’t ask stuff related to salaries or age ! I think it’s not only an English thing ! However these manners is universal still some people don’t know how to have basic human skills in communication wether in England or anywhere else !

[@mimadouma1832]

hello , i have just discovered your channel ,I am learning english and I want to improve it. I like British accent , I have difficulties in pronunciation and so I hope your videos will help me and if you could teach us some grammar lessons for example tenses I get confused when we use simple present and present perfect also past and past perfect ! thank you

[@ETJEnglish]

Hello! Thanks for watching my videos. I occasionally do grammar lessons, however, I tend to save them for the students who book lessons with me on Skype, because it requires a lot more detail and interaction to teach. However, I am sure my videos will help you with your pronunciation skills!

[@mimadouma1832]

+ETJ English thank you :-)

[@juniorvitoria]

love you. Lovely the way tou talk

[@mukulsharma1464]

hi !! can you please tell what small talk acually is ? Subscribed!!

[@ocece6665]

hello! Ive just discovered your channel and you're a really a good teacher (by the way your accent is goal!). What you said in your intro is similar in France! Your lessons are really helpful, would you do a video about how to "get" a british accent? thank you!

[@ETJEnglish]

Hi! Thank you very much for your comment, I'm glad you enjoy my videos :). I will hopefully be doing a video explaining the British accent and how to achieve it soon!

[@antonignatenko1643]

Wish to see more videos in future , maybe about grammar or useful phrases Really like the videos and how you explain , helps me remember easier :) keep it up 🤙🏻

[@dhiraelaine4549]

like this a lot Elliot

[@MrSakdanuwat]

Your English accent is super clear. What part of uk are you from?

[@ETJEnglish]

I'm from Bristol, in the South West of England. It's about a 2 hour drive away from London, so we have a slightly similar accent to London.

[@ETJEnglish]

That’s right, typically the Bristol accent has a rhotic /r/ mine, much like many other people in Bristol, is different because of the school I went to & the RP accent I grew up around (my family)

[@ritalocket7551]

im a new learner..your lesson really help me

[@MariaMaria-ir9dr]

I'm Russian and when I talk to a native English speaker I feel so shy and insecure because I know he/she hears all my stupid mistakes ahah but when I talk to someone whose mother tongue isn't English (but he/she speaks English) I feel more confident XD

[@helenadominguez5756]

Thanks a lot! Greetings from Colombia.

[@ETJEnglish]

Such a wonderful country! Thanks for watching.

[@jialichen8351]

I really fall in love with your pronunciation! Hahhaha’ I knowed you month ago and watching your video every morning. Hoping that you could doing some voice recordings, for example reading some articles, then we could fall asleep with your wonderful voice . Hahhahhahahahha. Love you love you.

[@msatya7210]

It's very useful for us

[@paulaturatti341]

Love your videos and your accent!!!

[@jcdelcarmen6275]

Sir Elliott your lesson is very helpful specially for those people really want to understand more in english.. Sorry for my grammar I swear am not a good english speaker hahaha sorry 😭😂

[@christianlatorraca6959]

In italy is not a bad question, when two italian people met and they starting to talk about their life, it's not wrong to ask personal things, even better sometimes that's fine!👍

[@MsTerriblelie]

You’d rather not ask someone how much money they make...neither in Italy!

[@suhanasonker7957]

Thankyou sir👏❤️

[@shanazgeelani4657]

Hi I like the way you teach

[@ishitaganguly799]

Hi Elliott! It's good to know about these facts as I want to visit London!😊 Also, I believe you can't just go around asking personal questions to people because that's quite rude and awful across cultures! 😀

[@ggososak3305]

Great video! Would you answer a question for me please? Actually, I will go to London to see new year celebrating. Of course I'll be there for travel but I want to experience something special for me in this time. The question is how can I ask British people to be photographed in polite manner? Because my major is Fashion and I'm blogging about fashion I'm really interesting British people's fashion. That's why I hope to take pictures of British fashion people. Is it ok just to say "Excuse me" first and to say "Would you mind if I take your picture and I have an interview" next? Or do I need to say something else to be polite and not to be seen strange person? Though It's very wordy I'll very appreciate you if you give me your answer. Thanks!

[@gultenatanasova3109]

Oh you are realy great 😊

[@windyexplain8604]

I have a question...that's really weird, because when I watch your video, I could understand all, and when I listen a radio((BBC) or any British series(skins,Sherlock..) I couldn't understand everything!! Why this happen?I have a friend from London, and he's a native speaker and I'm able to understand so perfectly!! Thanks

[@MM-ei7xv]

W.B Channel I think this because a tv show like Sherlock for example uses some kinda of advanced language and Sherlock hem self speaks very fast I think Which will be difficult for you as a non native speaker

[@noir9929]

Me too they speak quickly and you can't keep pace with them but I understand American English very well

[@vapos5454]

You know Cambly? we have to pay for it to speak with the native speakers. But on you, you're really nice and virtuous cuz we can Skype with you without stress and pressure

[@parinya212]

Your video is really beneficial to me . Cheers :)

[@riccardobravi]

Hi! could you tell us the difference between "blunt" "straighforward" "honest" "frank" "outspoken" "direct" please? it's important to distinguish word meanings. Thank you :)

[@sse9203]

Thank you for your useful and helpful video:) but I would also like to listen to your natural speed of British English!!!! Not all of English people speak this gentle and clearly, and I would really like to get used to natural speed of British English with your cool accent. Please~~~Make some natural talking video!! Lots of love and respect from Korea :)

[@ETJEnglish]

I do a few natural speaking videos and will be doing more of these in the future! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks for the suggestion. -Elliott
