@evawei Malaysian accent sounds "weird" to a lot of people, because the tone is all flat, anyway anyhow, most of the Malaysian can understand each other with such "weird" accent. There's nothing to compare among Singaporean, Malaysian and Hong Kong's accent, since all of us from different cultural background, and most important is the purpose of a language is to communicate with others, as long as the others understand what are you talking about, the job is done.
Differences in the enunciation, elocution, articulation in English? Pay attention to all the vowels - a, e, i, o, u and it might ease you up in the British and American accents.....
Having grown up in Canada....it seems that our accent is quite uniform coast to coast, and is somewhat a mix between the generic US and Oxford UK accent. Go figure!
I learnt all these when I was in junior school. I almost forget all. Thank you sir for teaching me again! I live in Aus. The Aussie English is a bit close to British side but is actually a cross-over of both B & A plus some locally mixed! Ha Ha
I spoke English my whole life, had no idea how hard it is until I watch your videos, excellent work! Just so you know, oh in Australia, it's pronounced Just Seo Yoo kneo!
Agree with you, I've lived in USA for so long, when I went to UK a few years ago and heard people say the word, I couldn't even tell it was "laboratory".
我突然发现,我学的英语英美不分啊。。。。。。。。

唔明點解你會用 "lavatory" 依個 term 黎示範
美國人係用 "bathroom", "men's room", "ladies' room"... 同埋永遠唔會用 "toilet"

@kaiw0ng arrr... no.... "toilet" means the bowl (馬桶) in both side of the Atlantic, so it is never polite to say "going to toilet" in public...

喂,免费的教学,不要"弹"老师,其实在美国住久了,只要能流利沟通美国人不大挑剔发音,因美国是个大溶炉,各色人种会合,各个族裔有不用的口音,明白就得,反而英式英语也被认为是另一种乡下音。

你有好多發音都發錯左
下面都有人提出左
like... 'laboratory instead of la'boratory in US, but I want to add is that the 'bora' in between is pronounce as 'bra' instead of 'bo-ra' in US too
and there are two words: filet and fillet
fillet in UK pronounces differently from US
but fillet pronounces the same
what u were pronouncing of UK's was filet not fillet

talking about /a:/ and /ae/, in america, ppl speak in different way depending on the regions they are grown up
for example, for "average", some people start with the vowel /a:/, but some /ae/
and the stress of "laboratory" should be at the front

well done
just a friendly reminder
ur american pronunciation of the word 'laboratory' is a bit bizarre
u have stressed the second vowel rather than the first vowel
in american english, the first vowel is stressed unlike british english where the second is stressed!
