Assimilation = The Key to Sound Fluent in English 🔑 (British English Pronunciation Lesson)

What is assimilation and how does it make you sound more fluent and speak more quickly and effortlessly? In this English pronunciation lesson you will learn how the sounds t, d and n change at the end of words to make it easier to transition to the next word (this is assimilation!). Improve your English pronunciation and listening skills by learning more about this feature of connected speech.

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

I was struggling to sound natural, but here comes the rescue, the perfect teacher, Emma

[@thomasng1816]

Thanks a lot Emma. I finally realise that assimilation has been the reason why the native speaker always sounds a bit differently from the text book. Thank you 😊

[@EdgardoAlexanderGarcia]

I love Emma, she's so smart and gorgeous. Is my favorite teacher. God bless you always 🤗🤗

[@MasambaKalaba-xo4oi]

Oh my goodness!!! Thanks a lot about juicing up the English language I'm a student in Cyprus ,am from congo Kinshasa which means that in My country the English language ain't spoken, we speak french yet i have been learning English for about 3 years ago,and i speak English correctly meaning i can edge some native American out when it comes to speaking

Every time I despaired of learning the British dialect, but when I found your channel, I felt happy and joyful, and that I could learn it. Your style is very wonderful and capable..I pray to God to bless you, explain your heart to Islam, and grant you paradise...You are the only one who gave me hope to learn it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💗 💗💗

[@mrx1979ua]

As a foreign speaker I've leaned towards and learnt to use US accent, but as a lot of people do - I love British accents - all of them pretty much. Regarding assimilation - I always think of Brits pronouncing the word DRAWER in at least some accents, and in some of the US - ASK being pronounced as AKS. Not really an assimilation - but I love it )

[@poobhathy]

Hi Emma, I wanted to improve my English pronunciation and I found your channel about a month back and have been watching your video lessons since then. Later I also found your podcasts on Spotify. It's now a habit for me to listen to your podcasts and repeat the sentences you speak. I see my pronunciation improves. Thank you very much and keep up the great work!

Thank you, Emma! As usual, a fantastic video with great tips to be more fluent in our speech. Keep up the good work! It is greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼 I understand "assimilation" and I am conscious of it and able to"use" it while I am reading in English for example. But when I speak to people I forget about it 😳 and fall back to trying to pronounce every sound. 😂 Do you have any tips on how to practise in order to use "assimilation" more naturally? Thanks again and best regards from 🇲🇽.

Hi. I’ve been living in Germany last 13 years. I used to speak with British accent. But nowadays because of my daily work, I have to speak German. And therefore, I’m forgetting my English accent. I found your page in KZbin. Thanks. It is very nice and informative. I started to work on my pronunciation. There are two main online English translation & pronunciation sources. Cambridge & Oxford. In spite of both of these claim they use modern RP English accents, pronunciations are different. Would you be so kind as to clarify this? Personally, I like Cambridge accent. I know that the first English language book was from Oxford university. Could it be Oxford uses “Conservative RP” English pronunciation? I would like to thank you beforehand. Once more, thank for informative English videos.
