British English 001

[Bruno1986BR]

I know it's harder to pronounce for us Brazilians than the American, but I do love British accent and as an English teacher, I teach everything in British pronunciation. My accent inevitably is Brazilian, but I try to imitate British as much as I can.

Of course, like there are many Portuguese accents here, there are lots of accents within UK and USA.

[casp3rization]

sound like harry potter lol :) i watched this on 2011 , i feel very classic XD

[noorsabah8]

great

it is very useful 4 Arabians

[ToMsPiErCiNg16]

"what´s your name?" i´m from germany but is it not:"what (is) your name?!"

[jayc342009]

@ToMsPiErCiNg16 "What's" = What is.

[ToMsPiErCiNg16]

@jayc342009 lol, thanks ;)

[Schizopantheist]

@ToMsPiErCiNg16 No, generally people don't speak using brackets/parentheses. (Haha, sorry;

'What is your name' is perfectly acceptable, but in real situations it's likely to sound stilted to a native speaker)

[PIANOPHUNGUY]

What do the people in Northern Ireland speak or for that matter Republic of Ireland?

What do they call the language they speak?

[Schizopantheist]

@PIANOPHUNGUY Mostly English is spoken in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. But in the Republic of Ireland especially you will find people who speak the Irish language ( a celtic language- Irish Gaelic; according to wikipedia it is called 'Gaeilge' by those who speak it). People who speak it fluently are a minority.

There are also some other small dialects spoken there(such as among the Irish travellers).

[PIANOPHUNGUY]

@Schizopantheist In the Hebrides Islands off Scotland they also speak a form of Irish called Scots Gaelic. Not many Gaelic words in English. Smithereens is one.

[SHUKLAPATELA]

DON'T SAY BRITISH ENGLISH.

ENGLISH === ENGLAND.

[TochatCityBoy]

I like British English more than American English. In my opinion British English is clearlier than American English. Good Video !!

Sorry my English is maybe wrong. I am from German

[sinhoiling]

i dont quite understand how to pronounce the "L" sound at the end of some words, seems it much easier for me as an non-native speaker to say American L, like Meal, Sale...... how should I do it in British Accent?

[Oceananswer]

@sinhoiling say it like a w sometimes or say it like a w with an l at the end like meawl

[arshia2008]

Every thing about England sucks.....very boring place

[arshia2008]

@TheLizardKing1967 you got me confused with your mom.......brits suck ass... british people have great teeth.....

[TheLizardKing1967]

@arshia2008 You would have no teeth if I was in a room with you.

[IToe4Kids]

@arshia2008 Guessing you've never been here or went to an outer Hebridean island.

[Nicola72av]

Hi teacher!!!

That's a beautiful lesson! :)

Thanks a lot.

I send you a dear greeting from Italy.

Have a nice day!

[diego85vargas]

Awesome accent

[asthenewt]

You dont sound like you're from Birmingham at all, Solihull or Sutton Coldfield more like

[1977johnnyrotten]

I much prefer British English to American English!

I wanna go to England oneday^^

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

"Nice to meet you" is fine but "Please to meet you" or "Delighted to meet you" sounds more polite and less casual.

[TheGeologist1]

alright teacher! 

[LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

Is he trying to teach lower class English people to become home counties middle class.

[ThePakChina]

I like British language then American language

[Itibolibo]

@ThePakChina They are the same language...ENGLISH.

[ThePakChina]

@Itibolibo of course they are same . but there is taste difference

[KFKTR]

@ThePakChina Can't even spell, you wanker!

[ThePakChina]

@KFKTR don't be jeslous you american

[ArmandDeluxe]

it's good if everyone is called Troy and likes to repeat themselves :P

[Arjun007ize]

Nice vedio,Subscribed.I think you should make a blog or site like PrivateEnglishPortal has on Youtube.Thanks.

[Arjun007ize]

nice one

[away554]

I have a question: If I speak american english in Great Britian, people can understand me, right?

Sorry for bad grammar...

[madbob73]

@away554 yes but some words mean completely different things. For example fanny, fag, flat

[Queenpriderock]

@away554 yes. only some words are different.

[SawLots]

"Halloween" why in some parts of Britain it is ok and in other parts they tell you to fuck off and beg elsewhere.

[nakaufo]

i like British accent!

[englishsinger]

Surely if you want to learn English properly you should learn English as spoken in England? Many American words are completely different pavement/sidewalk, petrol/gasoline, taps/forcets, nappies/diapers, lift/elevator etc. and many more.

It's like if you go to Brazil their 'Portugese' has been corrupted by Spanish

For example in Portugal, they say 'se fez favor' for please but in Brazil they say 'por favor' the Spanish way. I'm sure it's the same in France and Quebec.

Depends what you want.

[seizureromance]

Oh Troy is hot :)

[RobWagstaffsLife]

I speak English. :)

[anonymous5031]

american accent is easier than british accent ;)

[Unit06JAW]

There is no such thing as a British Accent >.>

[salaheamean]

thansk 4 this

I love british accent..

[metalsacro]

that's boring...

[kachala]

i hate british accent. its just LOL.

look BBC or some british movie)))))))))))

american english is more better.

[IMQuazimodo]

@kachala just a quick test - say this word 'Aluminium' then come back and tell me that 'american english' is superior to 'english english'. Oh and its 'mum' not 'mom' :P

[kachala]

@IMQuazimodo this different if you english for you is native. for me better american english.

[IMQuazimodo]

@kachala more better ? No need for more there - that makes 0 grammatical sense. Why not 'push the boat out' and say 'more betterer', that would make you sound even more dense than you do saying 'more better'

[0lilKayde0]

No, American English is a bastardisation of the true English. All it does is hurt our great English language.

[dodudumdumdum]

@kachala "more better"? learn English :)

[englishsinger]

@kachala It's a 'film' - not a 'movie'. Also it's MUCH better, not more better.

[kachala]

@englishsinger thanks for "MUCH better" =)

[treboldetreshojas]

@kachala Noooooooooooooo never

[cagelsthrough]

Troy looks scandinavian to me

[TigerFallOut]

he looks like a hologram

[mesoemo]

@kalledelacalle I agree! I'm from the u.s and we have a very plain accent.

[andrewbarrett42]

@mesoemo Don,t you think American accents is better than British,I think it is.

[DestineyAwates]

@andrewbarrett42 what you chating on? want me to stab you up?

[englishsinger]

@mesoemo I like American accents - they don't sound plain. The thing is though, we don't all speak like the Queen in England! Most people here regard that as very 'posh' and 'haughty'. Some people would take offence if you went around speaking like that - they'd think you were trying to be superior! You would be amazed how many different accents there are here for such a small island - more than in America. You only have to travel a few miles and the accent can completely change.

[JohnnyDepp559]

Emma Watson's got a really nice British accent :D Watch interviews of her...And some videos of BBC, they're good, too. Helps me to learn the British accent.

[jorojoto]

Haha i like it :D

[nearry382]

Hi! I looking for someone who speak in English that can help me to improve my english, please?

Regars!

[haloracon]

@nearry382 noone can help ya if u dont have anything 2 get exchanged

[MAS4T0]

You don't have a British accent, you're a brummie!

[ajak568]

It's cool if you like one accent over another, but you can't say that American English isn't a real language. I'm American. . .it's kind of my first language. I would never tell someone that their language isn't 'real'. Of course it is, I use it to communicate every day when I'm at home.

[englishhacksaw]

Brummie!! Lol just kidding.

[franco121760]

I live in America so learning British accent here is useless!

So I suppose that if you live in Europe it is Brithish accent and not American accent

your logical choice

[INIGUEZELI]

@franco121760 I live in America too, but i far prefer british english, it has nothing to do with the place you live in, it's all about preferences.

pd: did u mean USA when you said America?

[666890666]

@franco121760 We the Europeans learn the British English because it's the official language, not because we're european/we're UK's neighbours...when you learn a language, you learn the official one, not a dialect or whatever...

[bizarewigga]

@666890666 very true

[MegaCrash88]

imho, i'm lil confused .. so many difference between these accents!!!

[hedgehoghaz]

Ihatebarnett you are totally wrong that's probably just your warped perception of life here seen only through one pair of eyes, I live in Hampshire and happen to love England- we live in a democracy, have an nhs and quality of life is far higher than in many places.

[IHateBarnett]

...curious, he doesn't sound like a brummie. And I swear that Tower Bridge is in London. Incidentally, should you meet a 'British' person in London and say 'Hello, nice to meet you', chances are you'll be told to 'fuck off'. We're reserved and aggressive at the same time. England is a fucked up place.

[toj1024]

uk english is imitation, us english real english

[SephirotHeRe]

lmao your from that place were people all look the same. English is our language not the US its Englands

[malikehentai]

not really the english us language is a copy remember we came from england and settled in america

[toweronepower]

British English? Why Pander?

[pangallion]

I agree - no such thing as British English. there is English and misspelt English.

[Basjuhdeuil]

whats your name?

whats your name?

whats your name?

british english = english.

there is no such thing as british english, because the "original" english is brittish.

[Ancestralwish]

Preach it brother! Britannia Imperat!

[giansky66]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[pak10ucnttrust]

its called english not british english

[dalia19950407]

@pak10ucnttrust pff its not just english there is american english and british english.

[pak10ucnttrust]

we invented it who said you could change it

[pak10ucnttrust]

we invented it and its called english not british english.....that might b wat yanks call it but nobody else....and if you yanks r so special surely u can get your own instead using another countrys and putin your name in front of it...its laughable.And plz dont question my spelin...its short hand enlish....lol

[nickkellie]

@pak10ucnttrust no one person invented any language... English is a blend of a dialect from Angles in Germany, French, Norse amongst other things - I am from England living in USA - we do not OWN the language... no one does

[cowscowscowscows2]

@pak10ucnttrust Don't make the US throw your tea out again.

[DestineyAwates]

@dalia19950407 nahh bruv your chating bare shit its ENGLISH what you talk is some next rip of version of english

[ElMightyMexican]

you said "you" twice

[lcfc1985]

so did u ;)

[MrIvarveldscholte]

haha lol.

:x

[zzrr61]

A mí me gustaría aprender a hablar el inglés como los Ingleses. El acento es bueno. Es sofisticado. Gracias por esas lecciones.

[englishsinger]

@zzrr61 Aunque nos entendemos entre sí, hay muchas palabras diferentes entre el original Inglés e Inglés americano. Ejemplos son petrol / gasoline, pavement/sidewalk, film / movie, lift/elevator y muchos más.

Inglaterra es mucho más pequeño que los Estados Unidos, pero hay diferentes acentos muchos más en Inglaterra!

[iamboredok]

I'll subscribe to help out :)

Besides, it's kind of fun to try and learn some British-English; me being from the US and all.

[DestineyAwates]

@iamboredok oi fucking waste man what are you chating on? Its called english you fucking wank stain

[iamboredok]

@DestineyAwates

I think you need some help, mentally.

[desdealgunlugarmejor]

que bueno que nos ayudes a la pronunciación

[AYARPSGinc]

Don't be late.

[taicleis]

North American English is a rhotic language, meaning there are no superfluous differentiations between how an 'r' will be pronounced in any given sentence. It's just an 'r'.

Of course, speakers in the southern USA still carry a lot of the British, non-rhotic language traits.

[RifledBarrel]

to the o/p..actually the correct word is 'especially'...try learning the Queen's English

[Veron451]

A Brummy teaching people how to pronounce English correctly. Oh the irony!

[BOT101st]

@Veron451

A Brummy? That's nothern, he speak's with a southern english accent

[Veron451]

He does, but he says he's from Birmingham.

[BOT101st]

Ahhhhh, sorry dude ;D

[Veron451]

=)

=)

[Ulmeyda08]

I said book franchise not singular book.

[doeikno]

this is pretty funny

[12al34]

Secre... Tarry?

[guilvinec]

NO no, I am French and I speak American English because it's easier and sound more English! I wouldn't have the posh Liverpool accent of my ancestors though I love the city of Liverpool! American people are good!

[eeClaytonification]

lol liverpool is posh ?

[Bambabidou]

The teacher is cute. Single??

[MicroCapcode]

Well, I think ... most neutral accent for english is ....Estuary English or ...something ..generic english ..this is neutral, just in my opinion. Why dont you understand that there are many many accents in Britain... and everyone has their owns accent.

[Princessscee]

im english but when you here english people on the tv or here they sound at lot posher lol

[denver13gore]

dude, you are very poor in spelling.. you don't even know the difference between here and hear.. lol

[Princessscee]

ahh i didnt even realise i put that lol nd i was tired any way so i was just rushing it..

[PranayCracked]

I live in england and to be honest people on the street can speak like in the movie. But it depends on where they are from and how they have been brought up. Surrey-London based have a higher possibility of speaking more TV-english.

[fionachan92]

where is 002? lol

Hey Troy, can i hav ur msn or sth just to ask you more about british english. Thanks and keep it!

[aponce3]

great fella!!

[RockabillyStallion14]

[danitasmile]

[simplly]

[jorgeguberte]

No, and that's exactly why i dropped outta school, to be occupied.

[jaydc05]

nice one! I'm a Filipino ..I'll be working in a call center with a British account so i need to get my self familiarized with the accent that British people has.thanks! good job!

[ymkkdm]

troy,i never expected to see you again on you tube video..

[failedstudent]

Thank you,Troy!

[Neto19922809]

this is toooo basic for me!! will try second british english!!!!  : )!!

[Metallicman1985]

The English way is the proper way of spelling things, the americans just rebelled at the end of the Civl war and thought how could we piss mother England off more? and went i know lets change the pelling of enlish to fit or liking better. Oh, and its not SEL-tic its KEL-tic ask any Irishman!

[xskyxheavenx]

somehow its very typical for a britain to say: hi/ hello everybody!

i think its funny. no offense here!^^

[PetraGHJ]

These few days were really very sad days for the freedom of speech in Britain. Geert Wilder, who is a democratic elected politician, was banned from entering UK. What was his fault? He highlighted in his documentary FITNA (available on the internet) suras from the Quran which can be seen as order for terrorism.

[rlinfinity]

because that is pure propaganda and has nothing to do with the meaning of the Quran.... it's not the islam the majority believe in. If anything that kind of bull will only breed more terrorism.

[federoll]

i love british accent :)

[drbeladaz]

@federoll I luv it too =) My grandmother has it but as hard as I try I can't learn it xD

[alwaysthesamedream]

you sound like Harry Potter XD

[supertrunks2]

i love british english , thanks (i'm not english)

[scarfllow]

hello

[chrisjbee]

For some reason I feel very happy to be british after watching this :D

[attcheung]

I'm extremely impressed at the Chinese pinyin subtitles on the top left-hand corner...very useful. Thx.

[teknomaya]

funny from my point of view matter is having a good conversation then british accent or american one doesn't important

[shevegen]

I am not sure - i think the british english sounds better, but it seems to be a bit more difficult than american english as well.

[1liam192]

THat because they often make things easier to say in America. Like they don't say aluminium properly. They pronounce it like... a loo me num where as British pronounce it... al oo min yum

[kendrawhisp]

I thought it was pronounced more like: Al you min ee yum

[Ali74]

In the 3 or 4 spelling changes american simpletons use Old English such as COLOR,,,which the English had correctly ammended and discarded by including U..so its COLOUR .hence the English spell and pronounce things correctly. Aluminum OLD English also.

Another reason why Brits who own the language are superior is using DELINEATION having accurate specific terms as opposed to general details..Example yanks use blanket terms like SCHOOL..whereas Brits specific say University, College, or Grammar

[muschinzki]

Ali74, for someone who's so proud of their spelling and apparent 'correct' use of words (woop-de-doo) you show a surprising lack of knowledge about proper punctuation and capitalisation.

Oh and I like your use of the term 'general details'. Yep. Not just any ol' details, but GENERAL details!

I wonder why you wrote that comment anyway, seeing as the topic was pronunciation, not spelling...

The mind boggles.

[Ali74]

Heres why....

In the 3 or 4 spelling changes american simpletons use Old English such as COLOR,,,which the English had correctly ammended and discarded by including U..so its COLOUR .hence the English spell and pronounce things correctly. Say Color as its spelt.. its wrong.. COL-OR.. we americans say it as its written Colour yet spell it as Color (OLD ENGISH) that the English had correctly changed. The ise or ize end to words is fine and both are used in England.

[Shyuum]

You again lol..

[taicleis]

It's called efficiency. Since when was making things easier to say a bad idea?

The two words carry identical meanings in every way, and a syllable has been shaved off. The only thing reduced is the time it takes to say it. Efficiency.

[chuyee25]

Yes,I did enjoy.

Thanks for uploading.

[Sofia2co]

[muteland]

[Downwiththebrown1]

which one

[Asiroth07]

I am quite sure there are some kinds of verbs and traits words, also pronunciation that american and latin american people don't mismatch, so keep in practice with this youngster. This things are the most basics between the basics.

Cheers.

[FrenchLanguage]

Don't you say secretree for sec'y? lol

[buzcrysl]

thank's for video!!

[WV24985]

[myonlynick]

Really good enunciations.

My accent is far away from that ;p

it's like N.York-Wales-London-Scottish,w­ords jambled together.Different teachers...different accents! haha

[doncruzz]

really good

[oseaa93]

lol.. the videos is good. hi guys. i'm a native spanish-speaker. and i wanted to hear the differents between english from Usa. and british englihs. both made a work really good for people that is learnig english.. and finally my quetion is.. do you find any different between spanish from spain and spanish for another country of latin america? i'll hope your answer thanks so much!

[3l337mind]

Claro que hay diferencias mi amigo, cada pais agraga palabras nativas y las mezcla con el castellano. Se podria decir que en cada pais de latinoamerica se habla una version diferente del castellano. Por ejemplo no se de donde seas pero en mi pais Mexico se habla con muchos mexicanismos(palabras que solo se hablan en Mexico)como chale por ejemplo.

[oseaa93]

hey man.. como dije.. tambien hablo español.. soy de venezuela. jeje.. claro que hay diferencias.. eso lo se.. pero mi pregunta se referia a gente angloparlante que escuchara las diferencias de español de ESPAÑA y otro de Latinoamerica.. jeje. porq yo si escucho diferencias entre el Gringo y el Britanico!! jeje. gracias por responder
