Hi teacher! Here from Brazil. Studying any science becames a great snowball. The more we study the more secrets appear. Now I have to study the triphthongs. Ok. From the Cambridge Dictionary Online on the word Iron /aɪən/ it looks like we have a beautiful triphthong.

Hello Liz. May I suggest a video on how to sound like a British native . Words like 'freight, hindsight, height, lustre, lack lustre, viscount, Mayor, Seargeant, Lieutenant'. That's it. Anyway, I always learn intonation and better pronunciation using your Channel. Excellent channel. Thank you Liz. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Great suggestion, thank you. You can hear me pronounce sergeant (note the spelling)👩‍🎓 in my latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnvQqJqrpaqhZsk May I ask, what is your first name? As I know in many cultures it is not always the forename😀

@@freeenglishgrammarproject5615 Ciao Giorgio. Do you want to grow your Channel? If so, maybe group your post-its together in relevant groups to make longer videos and if you like, I could do you a voiceover for you, to see how it goes. Mind you, you would probably need to promote via your FB page to get any following.

[@hiroko_naga]

Thank you so much, Liz! Every videos are very clear. So, I could completely understand the whole English-RP sounds of vowels, diphthongs, and triphthongs. In my country, “how to pronounce English sounds” is not systematically taught. And to make matters worse, both American and British accent are mixed. Some teacher speak in American (but they don’t understand General American Accent), others speak in British. My first teacher spoke in British, and the second teacher spoke in American. Both English were without the correct syllables. I can understand another European languages. I wanted to improve my English pronunciation in British (RP) more clearly. Watching your video, I made the vowels’ diagrams based used on IPA for my understanding. Your videos has been changing my English world!. Well, English has semi-vowels /j/, /w/ and /r/. Have you ever uploaded video on the semi-vowels?

[@EnglishwithLiz]

I am so glad I am helping to change your 'English World' 😀 . Whilst I have lessons on all the semi-vowel sounds, I think a separate video on them would be a good idea. So watch this space! ❤️ &🕊

[@hiroko_naga]

@@EnglishwithLiz I watched the videos related to the linking sounds /j/, /w/ and /r/ today. Do you use the term “linking word” as “semi-vowel”? If so, I could understand them. Thank you so much!

[@EnglishwithLiz]

Hi Hiroko /j/, /w/ and /r/ are sounds that link words together. I will post videos on semi-vowels very soon that will hopefully make it clear how semi-vowels are used in words. ❤️ &🕊

[@ihori779]

The ephemeral shva sounds at the end of triphthongs are akin to white fluffy balls of dandelion seeds almost blown away to the heights of the RP heavenly clouds.

[@theguest6127]

When you shorten the vowels as you did at 6:23 and incorporate them into those sentences, it aligns more with Conservative RP, which is associated with old-fashioned speech, particularly used by aristocrats. It's worth noting that within Received Pronunciation, there are two main variants: Conservative RP and Modern RP. In Modern RP, vowel sounds are generally not as shortened to one syllable. Even newsreaders on the BBC tend to adhere to Modern RP rather than the more antiquated style of Conservative RP. Individuals like Prince Charles often speak with a Conservative RP accent, whereas many younger royals Prince Harry, William, etc and others speak with a more Modern RP. To be honest with you when you shorten it like that it sounds so old fashioned and the queen god rest her soul usually would shorten diphthongs and triphones to one syllable resulting in the way you said fire, buyer etc.

In modern RP extreme smoothing is not used. it sounds quite posh. what do you think Liz, Do people in England still use it?

[@EnglishwithLiz]

Sorry for delay in replying, Sam. You are quite right that in modern RP extreme smoothing is not often used. However, the word 'are' is very often smoothed to ɑː and you hear it a lot in current modern RP. When I played back my recording of 'smoothed' words I did sound a bit too posh 😀

Isn't the vowel in prayer a diphthong? It's identical to the square vowel in my accent.

[@EnglishwithLiz]

[@amineazzouz1520]

What do you abowt ""better""

[@LudilynAguilar]

Can I ask ? If the Firework ,cowboy, playground and Boil is considered as a triphthong?

[@EnglishwithLiz]

Great question. 'Fire' on its own has a triphthong and in 'Firework' it remains a triphthong, but it's much smoother because of the following consonant 'w'. Cowboy & playground don't have a triphthong, but boil in Modern RP does, because the dark l produces the əl sound, so you will hear /bɔɪəl/. . Hope that makes sense. Love ❤️ & 🕊️Peace. Liz

[@parveshsharma3222]

Could you please recommend some KZbinrs with rp accent?

[@EnglishwithLiz]

Hi Parvesh, sorry for delay in replying. I actually watch very little KZbin as the standard of English taught can be very poor and I find it frustrating to think so many students are being badly taught. Apart from listening to my short stories - playlist here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqDLiJifgNChrK8 , I would watch and listen to some classic British films like 'The Theory of Everything' or maybe 'Notting Hill'.
