Thanks a lot for your great advice about British pronunciation.I speak fluently English but English speakers immediately recognize my French accent when I speak to them and it's a bit annoying.I really would like sounding like a British native speaker one day.Can you recommend special tips for French speakers? What are our main mistakes in pronunciation when you speak in English?

Thanks for clarifying my suspicions on the connecting "r"s :) I do have a question though. I have heard actors use the "rolling R" only on certain occasions, while using other Rs as well (in the same sentence) however I wasn't able to determine what it replaces, or if not replaces, what rules determine their use. Can you shed some light on that? Thanks!
@EnglishRich
@EnglishRich 4 жыл бұрын
There's an interesting phenomenon of people throwing in rolling /r/ and /rr/ in English occasionally. Those that do tend to be 'higher class' or 'more educated'. Where does this come from? Well, my suspicion is that traditionally people of higher education would speak more than one language - they would learn French or Spanish or Latin. In doing so, this /r/ would become part of their speech toolset. Then, over time, actors and so on started to throw it into their speech and as such it became associated with a certain like of bombastic over-the-top posh thespian accent. Basically... it's complicated, rare, and very situation/person specific. But... if you like it, why not throw it about for a laugh?

Thank you very much for the post. May I ask you what happens with the "r" in the following words (in non-rhotic accents like RP): beware /bɪˈwɛə/, care /kɛə/, dare /dɛə/, there /ðɛə/, share /ʃɛə/, compare /kəmˈpɛə/, careful /ˈkɛəfʊl/, sphere /sfɪə/, figure /ˈfɪɡə/, and so on? In all of these cases the “r” is neither at the end of the word nor before consonant (rules that many BrE teachers teach for silent "r") - still, it is silent. Are there any rules that can be applied in these cases? What about: very, necessary, arbitrary, and so on - here the "r" is pronounced, but, even though in the middle of the word, there's no consonant before it (other rule BrE teachers teach for non-silent "r")? What's the rule here? What about the words: order, separate and the like? In "order", for example, the "r" is before a consonant - still, it is silent. On the other hand, in "separate" the "r" is in middle position, but there's no consonant before it - still, it is pronounced and therefore non-silent. What I am trying to learn is whether (or not) there are 2 separate rules for the “r”: one telling me when the “r” must be pronounced and one telling me when the “r” is silent. Am I missing something here? Thank you!
@poftim7773
@poftim7773 7 жыл бұрын
Hi Ciprian, This is a good video but I use a slightly different rule. My rule is: "Pronounce the R *only* if there's a vowel sound immediately after it." Two things to note: (1) I'm talking about a vowel *sound*, not a vowel letter: words like "careful" and "beware" have no vowel sound immediately after the "r" because the "e" doesn't make a sound at all. (2) These vowel sounds can be at the start of the next word, so we pronounce the R in "beware of the dog" because the next word begins with a vowel. I hope this helps. It also explains why we pronounce the R in "separate". Where are you from, by the way?
@CiprianGramatik
@CiprianGramatik 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks! As I have spoken with other BrE experts, I would also like to ask you if the following conclusions are accurate enough and could be considered a rule for the pronunciation of the "r" sound (in British RP and non-rhotic accents of English): 1. "r" is silent in the following words: car, star, sister, mother, word, person, bird (/kɑː/, /stɑː/, /ˈsɪstə/, /ˈmʌðə/, /wɜːd/, /ˈpɜːsn/, /bɜːd/) because it is not followed by a vowel sound. 2. "r" is pronounced in the following words: read, write, red, Rome, grass, green, very, separate (/riːd/, /raɪt/, /rɛd/, /rəʊm/, /grɑːs/, /griːn/, /ˈvɛri/, /'sepərət/) and also in berry, carry, arrange (ˈ/bɛri/, /ˈkæri/, /əˈreɪnʤ/) because it is followed by a vowel sound. Or, to sum up: /r/ (the phoneme, i.e. the sound as in red) occurs only before a vowel phoneme (in British RP and non-rhotic accents of English). In every other case it is silent.

I am much confused at 10:54 . . . The law in Spain. Now 'law' ends with a 'w' rather than an 'r' so why should we not link the 'w' with the 'in' to make it sound 'lawin' ?
@EnglishRich
@EnglishRich 4 жыл бұрын
Letters do not mean much here. What determines the linking is the sounds involved. The sound ending 'law' is /ɔ:/ and the sound starting 'in' is /ɪ/ /ɔ:/ to /ɪ/ produces an intrusive /r/ linking sound.

And what about the words like "occurred, stirred, preferred" - you don`t say an "r" here, do you? Another question is, why do some people, even the Queen pronounce a little thrilled sound in the intervocal positions like "veRy often". I hear definitely a thrilled sound. Why do the actors and actress (Edith Evans in the film The Importance of Being Earnest and not only she ) pronounce even Spanish or Russian R - "a girl is like a delicate exotic fRRRuit"," VictoRRia Station", "pRRogRRamme" and so on?

Re: Yusuf's comment: Much to my dismay, yes. :D - I've always wondered what it is about that letter that they've excluded it the way they do. My theory is that somewhere along the line, someone determined that the shape the face makes is one that seems undesirable to those speakers.I believe my theory applies to the British English pronunciations as well.

Can you tell me why many British say Woyal for Royal? It's so puzzling because the rest of what they say seems normal enough, just this word. Who are these people? Is this pronunciation specific to a region or class?

It might sound like 'woyal' sometimes during fast connected speech. If you really pay attention you'll find plenty of instances of this. For example... what are 'yelephants?' Well... it's what you get when you say 'Three elephants'
