No it's not British English and American English there both the same and it originates from England not America that's why it's called ENGLish as in ENGLAND Not AMERish
@rebeccalinquist I stumbled upon your videos and wanted to put in my two cents. I am an Indian whose been in the US for the last 4 years, apart from being somewhat influenced by British sports commentary. And hence I have this accent that is a blend between Indian, American and British. One of the characteristics of Indian speakers that I see always is the way that we pronounce p, t and other such phonetics. They pronounce those letters with little to NO exhale of air, so it sounds different.
I can't believe the hate being shown to Indian people here. They are not the ones 'TAKING' the jobs as a few of you put it. American companies are the one who choose to outsource jobs. To Indians, it is just another job and hence a source of income. If you are indeed bothered by outsourcing, stop buying from companies which outsource jobs. But no, you want your goods to be cheap as well. Hypocrisy written all over it. This lady is doing a fine job.
India speak the language of their masters. Of course Britain and America will love them for that. To me its ridiculous for a country like India, with a rich history of its own that dwarfs that of England, a rich language of its own, a beautiful writing system, religion and a lot of other things, speaks a language of pea sized country that oppressed them for centuries. Indians you are pathetic.
This video can be very helpful for people trying to speak with an american accent. But, why would they want to imitate an accent instead of being proud of their own one. Has it ever occurred to you that sometimes people who have Indian accents find it hard to understand people who have an american one?
why the fuck would anyone want to pollute the English language by speaking it with an American accent?!!! Clearly the most annoying accent in the world!
New generation here doesn't face that much issue as in there accents aren't Indianized much. In fact, due to using English overtly in our daily lives, we are seeing English accent in our regional languages!
There is however a mixture of British English taught in school & American influence coming from TV & Hollywood.
Hi Rebecca. I am an Indian student in US. Its been 4 months for me here. Exactly th things that you pointed out were pointed out by my American friends here. Many find it hard understanding me sometimes and some goes for me with some Americans. I would like to learn the American accent so that the communication becomes easy for both me and my American friends but I don't have the money to hire a linguist. Can you please tell me how I can I learn on my own?

@Furkin44 i'm FROM india and we DON'T speak this way!! infact, 90% of our schools are british english medium schools in which we speak in guess what? ENGLISH!! yes!! and btw, i wasn't making fun of what she's doing (which is her job and it's obviously helps people) but i was just saying that it's funny... unintentionally, but still funny!! i mean the duh-velll-up-ment part isn't funny to hear?
@Furkin44 besides, noone "takes" anyone's job!! they just go work just like anyone else because guess what? the job's are given HERE! so go be angry with who you have to be, quit hating on normal ppl who try to make their living by having jobs like everyone else.
@Furkin44 just so you know, the job's coming here from there only do because the ppl who give them save a lot of money thru outsourcing, that is, they're selfish ppl who think only about (surprise) themselves! so they don't care that americans or indians get the job, they just care that it's done without all the hassle of taxes and high investments and stuff!!
Can an american speak Indian accent ! hey like wise you can not change the accent. A scottish living in London can not spk cockney . So stop this rubbish video and dont make Indian feel shit and learn something fake !!!!!!!!
This is useless. I'm sure you know by now that everyone loves the Indian accent bcoz its funny & hate the American accent bcoz its too common. Besides its always better to have people with diverse cultures rather than having a bunch of immigrants who go to a country & be everything like the locals. I hate looking at Asians & Indians who sound & act like Whites.
hey rebecca i like your videos. i needed help in letter "F" its hard to pronounce some words like "first" and lots of other words with letter "F" i will really appreciated.

@rebeccalinquist Americans do force their accent and language on others. I lived in France for almost 2 years and it was so irritating to see Americans talking to everybody in English (without even beggining the conversation with "Do you speak English?") when they were in France, but it was funny though when they wanted to do something and they felt totally powerless because they couldn't speak a word of French!!!! Stupid Americans!
@smcc06 Tell me, If you went to another country and couldn't speak their language would YOU go around and not say ANYTHING or would you speak your native language. Also please do NOT classify an ENTIRE COUNTRY for ANYTHING because some of them do it. I'm SO sick of people saying something bad about other countries because some of the populace does something that annoys them.

@MissTia777 and y is dat soo, is it dat u people have a plan to impose ur own accent on every single person in united states of a, i like my own indian accent, just teach ur accents to d minority immigrants in ur country!! d indian accent which u listen to is basically d south indian accent\!!

Then you Indians are so hypocritical comeing to America and have the nerve to be critical over native accents!
@MissTia777 oo my god who gave u d right to call others immigrants , when each and every person in america is an immigrants majority being africans,europians!! listen i am also talking abt dat minority which comes frm indian population go and teach them ur soo called accents!! if u can't understand dats ur problem ,americans can't understand british accents, u can't understand aussie accent, whatd hell ,where r u going u people r soo sensitive wid slow brains, u can't understand english!!!
@MissTia777 and one more thing only people from south india have those kind of accents which u call indian accent, india's got soo many languages u can't group our accents into one accent!
I'm working for the hotel... i just hate indian guests who speak with their 'hard' english but will give us a lot of annoyed complaints... They are the worst nation I've ever met... uncivilized....

Another important thing for Indians to know, besides American sounds - when you're talking among yourselves, you rock your heads side to side. To us, that doesn't look respectful, it just looks silly. So you need to learn our mannerisms, as well as our pronunciation. Of course, when we go to your country, we should learn your ways, too.
@impCaesarAvg The purpose of all communication is to enable the exchange of information. While it is very important to make oneselves understood, accents and mannerisms are not uncommon. Even French people shrug their shoulders, turn down their lips and make all sorts of hand gestures while speaking.
i know i should not have to watch this as i was born in and spent all my life in North America (I have not been out of NA as far as i remember) and am 13. But i still have this stupid accent :(
I hate telemarketers in general but I find it to be in poor taste that they try to learn our accent to trick us because they know a lot of people don't want to deal with or do business with companies that outsource prospective American jobs.
@LaughingOTI80 It's one of those controversial issues. Are they trying to trick someone or just trying to be understood? Many people in call centers aren't selling anything; they are answering questions and providing support. Many companies are outsourcing, so it may just be part of the global economy, like it or not!
@rebeccalinquist Let me define what I mean when I say "they" because obviously I don't blame anyone for wanting to work. I think it's corporate america or whatever powers that be that see outsourcing as a half percent increase in their profits that are to blame for the shambles our economy is in.
@LaughingOTI80 And some estimates say organizations can save 26% or more on outsourcing and also on automation - the internet alone with no humans involved at all is doing many of the job retailers used to do. I ordered online today and was offered free gift and shipping for products that are available at the store, so you can see where it's headed. Most of my clients live in the US and just want to speak clearly at work.
@LaughingOTI80 hey do u think u can go 2 my channel and check i video i made(i only have 1 video and it doesn't have video only audio) i was born and raised here but i spent about 2 years in india, some people say i have a slight foreign accent and some ppl say i dont, can u go 2 my channel n tell me ur opinion please!
american english is different for most speakers of other languages and difficult to imitate unless they live around native speakers for a while. i love languages and have developed this neutral accent when i speak other languages, that uses some of the hints she gives, and combine aspects of several languages , so people have accused me of being everything from french to russian, but they understand me. im sure that understanding means more to people than your having their accent.
Hi, Thanks for your comments. I've noticed that there are quite a few different American accents of speaking English like those that Italian Americans speak, or the African American lingo or the accent from the Southern states that's spoken with a drawl, or the Latin American accent.
How do you manage to reconcile with these accents? I guess it is difficult to completely wipe out the linguistic traits of ones own native language. And why does only the Indian Accent have to be corrected?
@zkas19 First, I don't think the Indian accent has to be "corrected" - I think many people in India want to get jobs selling products and services to Americans, and they are choosing to speak in an American accent in order to be more successful in their careers. Second, many others learn the American Accent too, often because they live here and want to speak well in their jobs to get promotions and compete against others for key positions.
@rebeccalinquist Also, there are many regional dialects in the US. It's always a good idea to know your intent before embarking on an accent or dialect modification program - do you want a job in a play where you have to sound like you are from Kentucky? Are you moving to NY? Do you live in CA and want a promotion? Do you want to speak so everyone understands you regardless of where they live? Once your goals are clear, you will know which accent/dialect you need to acquire.
Hi Rebecca you are a good teacher for me now these days i can speak and understand american english plz help me to wirght english correctely.

One does not talk slow (as you said in the beginning). The adverb is needed here, not the adjective. Therefore, one talks slowly. Right?

dodscatismine89 1 year ago
Another important thing for Indians to know, besides American sounds - when you're talking among yourselves, you rock your heads side to side. To us, that doesn't look respectful, it just looks silly. So you need to learn our mannerisms, as well as our pronunciation. Of course, when we go to your country, we should learn your ways, too.
impCaesarAvg 1 year ago
@impCaesarAvg The purpose of all communication is to enable the exchange of information. While it is very important to make oneselves understood, accents and mannerisms are not uncommon. Even French people shrug their shoulders, turn down their lips and make all sorts of hand gestures while speaking.

I hate telemarketers in general but I find it to be in poor taste that they try to learn our accent to trick us because they know a lot of people don't want to deal with or do business with companies that outsource prospective American jobs.
LaughingOTI80 1 year ago
@LaughingOTI80 It's one of those controversial issues. Are they trying to trick someone or just trying to be understood? Many people in call centers aren't selling anything; they are answering questions and providing support. Many companies are outsourcing, so it may just be part of the global economy, like it or not!
rebeccalinquist 1 year ago
@rebeccalinquist Let me define what I mean when I say "they" because obviously I don't blame anyone for wanting to work. I think it's corporate america or whatever powers that be that see outsourcing as a half percent increase in their profits that are to blame for the shambles our economy is in.
LaughingOTI80 1 year ago
@LaughingOTI80 And some estimates say organizations can save 26% or more on outsourcing and also on automation - the internet alone with no humans involved at all is doing many of the job retailers used to do. I ordered online today and was offered free gift and shipping for products that are available at the store, so you can see where it's headed. Most of my clients live in the US and just want to speak clearly at work.

american english is different for most speakers of other languages and difficult to imitate unless they live around native speakers for a while. i love languages and have developed this neutral accent when i speak other languages, that uses some of the hints she gives, and combine aspects of several languages , so people have accused me of being everything from french to russian, but they understand me. im sure that understanding means more to people than your having their accent.
nomadnametab 1 year ago
@nomadnametab Everyone has an accent - it sounds like you've modified yours in a way that works for you!
rebeccalinquist 1 year ago
Hi, Thanks for your comments. I've noticed that there are quite a few different American accents of speaking English like those that Italian Americans speak, or the African American lingo or the accent from the Southern states that's spoken with a drawl, or the Latin American accent.
How do you manage to reconcile with these accents? I guess it is difficult to completely wipe out the linguistic traits of ones own native language. And why does only the Indian Accent have to be corrected?
zkas19 1 year ago
@zkas19 First, I don't think the Indian accent has to be "corrected" - I think many people in India want to get jobs selling products and services to Americans, and they are choosing to speak in an American accent in order to be more successful in their careers. Second, many others learn the American Accent too, often because they live here and want to speak well in their jobs to get promotions and compete against others for key positions.
rebeccalinquist 1 year ago
@rebeccalinquist Also, there are many regional dialects in the US. It's always a good idea to know your intent before embarking on an accent or dialect modification program - do you want a job in a play where you have to sound like you are from Kentucky? Are you moving to NY? Do you live in CA and want a promotion? Do you want to speak so everyone understands you regardless of where they live? Once your goals are clear, you will know which accent/dialect you need to acquire.
