[@agingstrong]

Beautully said. I agree!

[@dubing5220]

Please delete it. let me say it.

[@EagleEay00]

Its not just the pronunciation that makes the accent beautiful. The vocal cords plus your beauty and constant smiles on the face amplify the atractipn.

[@farahnaz631]

I definitely agree

[@SanjaySaini-bg2iu]

Please teach English with news papers if you don't mind

[@aminanouicer6953]

Absolutely right

[@Tikuoji-kalu]

That is correct

[@Terminator2310]

Izzy, I could listen to you all day, you have such a pleasant accent.

[@IzzySealey]

Thank youuuu :)

[@paullee4210]

I concur

[@mariafranchi3751]

I’m English but I’ve been living abroad and I miss hearing it, I’m also worried I might be losing my accent, thank you so much for this!

Our American accents sound more humble. Lol

[@nrgrth7988]

My mother tongue is Portuguese, I've been taught American English since I was a child and it was hard for me to try and speak with the British accent, but after I've started learning German, it felt more natural. I've noticed similarities in some aspects and sometimes it is easier to pronounce certain words with a British accent instead of the American one. Thanks for the video, it sure helps a lot!

[@leofrasier6716]

It's crazy that you say this because I've always felt like Portuguese sounds like someone who couldn't speak Spanish or German so they mix them together and that's what Portuguese sounds like to me no offense I'm not particularly fond of the Portuguese language nothing against the people but that's crazy that you said that it's easier for you to go from Portuguese to German rather than American English I hope you understand where I'm coming from and I do apologize if it is a little bit offensive it's not intended to be it's just something that I've noticed with the Portuguese accent the German accent the Spanish accent I guess all at different times.

[@nrgrth7988]

@leofrasier6716 It depends on which Portuguese you're talking about. I am Brazilian, there are dozens of different accents here. Non-speakers usually say European Portuguese sounds like Russian (and I understand them), meanwhile Brazilian Portuguese depends on the accent you're analyzing, and they say Spanish sounds more like Modern Greek. Portuguese and German share more sounds than Portuguese and English, that's why it's easier for me to speak German. And about your comparison to Spanish: I think it depends on which language you got introduced to first, for me Spanish sounds like a broken version of Portuguese, but that's because Portuguese is my native language. Well, in a way you could say Spanish is more "broken" because they have been through more lenition than Portuguese, but if you started learning both you'd realize there are many differences between them.

I've been watching a lot of content in British English, especially focusing on pronunciation. Among all others, you're the best so far. Many thanks.

in brief: The video provides a comprehensive guide on how to nail a modern Received Pronunciation (RP) British accent, also known as Standard Southern British English (SSBE). The video is hosted by Izzy, a Cambridge graduate and doctor based in London, who stresses that her accent is just one among many variations of British accents. Izzy focuses on seven key pronunciation points using specific words to illustrate each. Here are the seven points and words that she elaborates on: 1. Long O sound: Demonstrated with the words 'hello' and 'open'. The emphasis is on the elongated O sound, which is considered a diphthong or a moving vowel where the mouth gradually closes down. 2. Long wide R sound: The word 'tomato' is used to illustrate this pronunciation, contrasting it with the American pronunciation. This sound is also found in words like 'grass', 'bath', 'father', and 'laugh'. 3. Non-Rhotic R sound: The word 'rather' is used to demonstrate this feature of RP, which is the absence of 'r' pronunciation at the end of words when not followed by a vowel. 4. Schwa sound: This common, neutral sounding vowel in British English is shown through words like 'doctor' and 'rather'. 5. Short Round O sound: Shown using the word 'honestly', which includes a silent 'h' and the round 'o' sound. 6. Curled Round O sound: The word 'water' is used to demonstrate this point. Izzy also emphasizes the importance of enunciating all 't's in RP English, unlike in American English where the 't' sometimes sounds like 'd'. She also mentions the absence of glottal stops in RP English. 7. Full T enunciation: The word 'daughter' is used to illustrate the full enunciation of 't's, as well as the curled round 'o' sound from the previous point. Izzy encourages viewers to practice these pronunciation points and suggests more content for viewers interested in refining their British accent. She acknowledges the diversity of British accents and focuses specifically on the modern RP accent for this guide.

[@FatimaAria03]

Oh my god Izzy, I can't believe it I didn't learned british accent in 9 months now with this video of yours I finally learned it. THANKS ALOT!!!

[@mitzidorantes8892]

What a master piece! Izzy I really love your videos, your voice is so calm and soft 🥺

[@rvcdc]

Thank you, Izzy! Coming from a north American accent and natively a SE Asian, I find it difficult to learn to change my voice placement. Listening to this and practicing those phrases led me to finding the right one *fingers crossed* ; now, my journey to consistency begins!

[@clairvoyazz]

I've never seen a modern rp accent youtuber talks this fast, wow. And it motivates me, thanks Izzy.

[@ThinkSimpleCraft]

Thanks so much Izzy for inspiring me. I am a not native but I’m hardly practicing through your videos and I’m thankful for that. Looking forward for more British pronunciation videos.

[@mildredjaneamoy6693]

Woow 🫰💝

[@gianlucavalentini2259]

What makes your videos so pleasant, is not only your lovely accent, but you! Your smile and your overall demeanor is so very pleasant that watching you is a real treat. Thanks for your suggestions although I'm afraid I'll never be able to lose my American accent (however a polite one). Being a non-native but having lived there for quite some time, it seems to be rooted in me and it doesn't want to leave, alas. You, on the other hand, could read the phone book and still sound pleasant😁

[@danifaynot631]

I am just completely and utterly in love with listening to you.

[@qichengz79]

Yay! Another British prononciation video 🙂 Please keep them coming and have a good one!

[@llcooln8]

Woah.

[@Giorgi0001]

I am actually in love with your videos and especially the accent you have. In my personal experience, i can nail some of the vowels and consoants which are extremely imortant to get close to the British accent. Thank you darling for your work. I really appreciate that.

Hello Izzy Sealey, I hope you are doing well. Thank you Izzy for teaching me these 7 words pronunciations to sound in British accent. I really love to speak like a British. These pronunciation is important for me to learn. You have best teaching skills Izzy. Thank you always

[@IzzySealey]

Thank you! 😃❤

[@minseokim6339]

I first saw your video by the one teaching modern RP, and since then, you became my role model!! I love your accent💕and thanks to you, my British accent has improved a lot! - I'll keep trying hard on it with your videos!

[@jhannzronyn]

Just watching and listening to you just melts my heart 🥰 more please 🙏

[@ThinkBritishEnglish]

Oh boy, Izzy, you know what, I keep looking at all these English learning channels and the content is great. As a native British teacher, building my channel is daunting but I’m always inspired by great videos like this. ;)

[@alencaru]

Thank you for the beautiful explanation. Basically the "-er", "or" sound at the end of the words in British pronunciation (RP) is a soft "a" similar to the "-er" sound in german but in german is a hard "a". That is what sounds to me as a portuguese native speaker.

[@rrahuii]

Just on time! I needed this

[@MartianRH]

Nice!

[@meanderingcath]

Very helpful, thank you so much, Izzy!

[@karenzhu5420]

OMG WTF?! I opened the video on my youtube recommended and was like "wait, she looks familiar". Nice to see you Izzy! I don't know if you remember me from NLCS, but I was in the year below you. I hope you're doing well!

[@Christoff8188]

You're incredibly eloquent, did not expect to enjoy watching these so much! I could probably listen to you for hours; I'd love to see you doing a medicine related channel. 😁 But the term "RP" really bothers me, as it suggests this is the most prominent accent. Unless someone can give me hard evidence to suggest otherwise, I'll be very surprised if that's true. I've only met a dozen people in my life who speak RP. They're usually either retired or went to private school and/or came from a wealthy background. Most of us speak like total commoners. "Hey, s'up pal? 'Ow ya doin'?" 😂

[@fatimoooon]

A fun fact about me is that whenever I want to speak english in public I just watch one of your videos and the accent comes itself! LOL♡

[@indahkartikabakti2632]

Hello Izzy. I come from Indonesia. I've watched your previous video "How to Learn a British Accent". Thank you so much. That video also this really help me understand how to practice British Accent. When I heard your explanation in the beginning I thought wow the way you saying so fast for me...😅 But after listened umpteenth times I understand. I need video like this cause when I learned English at my college mostly my lectures taught American accent.

@@chrisb.h4605 I'm Asian and I tried to speak both accents when I was learning English. However, I always feel I can't completely lose my Asian accent when I speak British English, whereas I don't have that kind of problem with American English. Not sure why, maybe it's just me.

All have done evil “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) The penalty for sin is hell (Revelation 21:8). Because of Gods love for us Jesus Christ came down from heaven to take the punishment for our sin on the cross in which he was spat on, beaten, mocked and laughed at. Christ died for the sins of the world and The third day God raised him from the dead (Praise God). This was done so that those who believe on Christ will not perish (hell) but have life everlasting (heaven); be justified by Gods grace through redemption in Christ (John 3:16) (Romans 3:24). The blood Jesus shed on the cross washes away our sin if we Believe in The Son of God and his finished work (ordained by God) on the cross. When this happens the believer receives the righteousness of Christ in place of their own unrighteousness (all sins are forgiven) and this makes them saved (going heaven) and they are born again as a Christian. (Romans 3:25-26)

For a little fun with tomato, the song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" was written by George and Ira Gershwin for the 1937 American film "Shall We Dance", performed by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The song is most famous for its "You like to-may-to / And I like to-mah-to" and other versus comparing British and American English pronunciations.

A good tutorial again. Yet I am looking forward to seeing a British English tutorial focusing on a very important aspect of RP which is the "light staccato" rythme as opposed to the "glide up and down" in American English, certainly also very different from the heavy staccato Germany accent. Something worth considering in your next video?

At school more than 60 years ago, our headmaster would not allow us to say "Hello". Instead, we had to say "Good morning", "Good afternoon", or "Good evening", followed by title and last name, or by "sir" or "madam". I can still manage a reasonable imitation of his pre-war Oxford drawl.
