American Accent - R sound

[GwenDylan]

she can't do an american accent either. she sounds weird. i wonder why it is that voice and dialect coaches never seem to nai the very accent they're trying to teach. they always over enunciate and end up sounding robotic.

[mercury2210]

So it means Boston accent is almost like British accent??

[briangriffin1066]

She is awful at trying to do a british accent.

[DaMagician91]

other DIALECTS??? sorry, but the small details make the real difference

[BtwinUnW]

i think my tongue is gonna break

[AlbatrossHD]

It's nearly 12 and I have school tomorrow, why am I watching this again?

[imacrumpet]

she's teaching American standard, not American dialects. Boston has a very pronounced accent and a nonstandard dialect.

[AaronCherr]

@imacrumpet

Indeed. I can attest to this as a speaker of American standard while knowing a speaker of the Boston dialect.

[zmwaiting]

A lot of people from our country only makes their accent sound very American when they've gone somewhere where English is the #1 language w/c others think they're cool. But me, I practice a lot and through these kind of videos and thru reading that's why I kinda got/learnd the accent even if I havn't been to English countries.. :) Thanks to you,my Eng. tutors! <3

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Yea us Americans are a buunch of fucking pirates

[nanao840]

Im finding difficulty when speaking to foreigner for the first time even when i know how to speak english ranging from professional to slang. Help me out anyone. URGENT

[propan88]

i'm from russia )))

[cancer19850624]

Yeah Boston Accent, Jesus Christ, It's almost British. It is probably because Bostonian are so much classy I have to say.

[SJ41998]

in bostonian-english the r is pronounced either...

[xML7x]

I always pronounce the letter /r/ in British accent, only

if the word ends with the letter /r/ as in "water".

It's easier 4 me. XD

thnx very helpful lesson...

[iAmDeathSpank]

I speak American, the freedom language.

[thebasilina]

@MrsLautner12 that's the problem. Every region pronounces things differently, and even every person within the region speaks slightly differently. Learning "accents" are difficult because they're not consistent

[bagy999]

She must be retarded. Britsh don't say lean we say learn if anything we pronounce the r more. Lean and learn are two completely different words.

[MrsLautner12]

Is this the accent from the West coast,East coast or what is it??

[pronkb000]

I'd say this is the "American Standard Accent," or what Americans who claim they "don't have an accent" speak--basically, most of the Midwest to the upper west coast. East coast and southern accents actually DO drop the "r"--they, like the British/Australian accents, are called "non-rhotic."

[alizeezidane]

It's difficult to say. British English is easier.

[XxMrLimeyxX]

The Bostonian accent is the closest to British English...

[presidentlines]

guys obviously america is a HUGE place, and so to correct her on boston accents is silly. Obviously there will be people that pronounce this differently. She is doing great.

Good Job!

[TennantMary]

This good for us with BOSTON accent in USA. LOL. And I am learning MORE detail of the British Accent too. It works both ways. THANK YOU!

[dylanthedude123]

So the r's make an american accent.

[MrAKIMETAL]

i don't know what my english  accent us or british :(

it's horrible ..

[bfav247]

She has never been to Boston. R's are too much work. She is speaking like you would to a retarded (Ree-Taa-did) person or an old person.

[beastwool1]

@bfav247 You are very right. In Boston you do not have a car, you have a "caaaaa."

[groxarg]

@bfav247 duhh I'm a native spanish speaker and the way she speaks(Slowl) helps me a lot, if she had spoken faster I probably would have understood 80-95% of what she said, so it's pretty ok for me :/

[brouhahabob]

@bfav247 Or any inner city spot. Four = fo, teacher = teacha, other = otha, breakfast = breafast, etc. Haha.

[LilithProductions]

@bfav247 I'm from Florida, and we speak like the video generally. I guess it all makes sense.

[theterminator308]

I'm vietnamese and i wanna study both BE accent and AE accent:D

[TheAc1219]

i speak mixed english  xD .. british + american !!

[kedd5]

@TheAc1219

Yeah, me too. And because, I live In England now, everywhere I go, I hear their accent, but again, in the movies, I hear most of the time "American" accent.

But, after all...I am not even English, I am Hungarian. :)

[medoelkorsan]

@TheAc1219 you are from india indian english is officially recognized as an accent in english language

[sazzyjt]

@medoelkorsan mmmm i don't know about that.

[HoneyOnThorns]

@TheAc1219 me too! I guess that's a German thing, cause we learn British English at school, but i prefer American and i always watch hollywood movies...this can be quite confusing some time

[strongyang]

@TheAc1219

That's translatic accent

[musicianay]

@TheAc1219 me too:)
