  • Haha, you have good sense humor!

  • I fucking hate people that pronounce their T's. Im southern but have a londonish accent

  • Bloody brilliant! LOL!  Cheers!

  • SOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If you want to know how to speak watch one of the Queen's televised messages. Then you really will get a punch in the face talking to be people like that in the street.

  • I wouldn't punch them, but I know some people who might do!

  • So funny!! Why would she think we say costle, poss ect. ??? :)

  • i relate to none of dis i live in new zealand i lk the brittish/english accent tho

  • so damn funny!!! I hate it how everyone thinks we speak with really posh accents....I moved form England to Australia and I want my Accent back, and everyone who was trying to imitate me was saying 'oh dont do thot! poss me a gloss!'...Grrr...but this is so funny and true

  • If you came to England and spoke like that you wouldn't get punched, but people would definately laugh at you :P

  • @Dozybean So funny

  • @Dozybean i'd punch them

  • I appreciate your perspective on it. The only way to learn and accent is to listen to authentic people speak it. If you have the ability to emulate it (and not everyone does) then congratulations. Learning it from someone who learned it from someone else only serves to 'water it down' and it comes out badly. Kudos to you for setting it straight. (I'm a Canadian trying to perfect that "silver spoon" snooty accent for a stage play)

  • Lost is a word it means you don't know your whereabouts

  • so

  • This crazy Goodwin video that you're using is just too stupid sounding. It sounds like she's from Minnesota or in the northern New England region of the US. And Goodwin sounds like some kind of high school drama "expert". I have created my own British accent and it sounds convincing-- enough so that a native British English speaker asked if I was from Sussex-- and I told her Wisconsin (back in my native American English tongue). We had a good laugh over that one...

  • this is hilarious! love it! thanks! 

  • i love you women

  • No offense, but I think it weird that you are offended by how she attempted an English accent, and yet your attempt at an American accent was equally bad.

  • This is soooooo funny that the girl in the video actually thought that she knew any thing about speaking with a English accent

  • Goodnight! It's 1:42AM so I'm going to sing one song then go to sleep. Btw I'm trying real hard to learn an english accent. I'm from America, but I love England.

  • SHE'S HAVING HASSLE WITH HER TASSELS, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

  • Good deal girl I like the way you handled that,, and I'm from the u.s.a born raised in the deep south lol they don't get the way we talk erther,, that's why we run them back up north lol

  • I've been searching for some help doing a British accent for a short play, and you were a LOT more help. Thank you :) My one criticism : your comparison between US & Brit accents. Not all American's speak with a southern accent - Only in the south ;) I live in NY, and sound NOTHING like that when I talk. I know you never claimed to have expertise in an American accents. But, it could come across as VERY offensive to Americans.

  • This practically completely mirrors the butchering and misconceptions about the American Southern accent. You really have to laugh at Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds or that chick from The Closer when they try and fail to play it right.

  • Thank you so much for your clarifications. Your video is quite helpful.

  • Sorry /

  • No (we dose not ) !!!! Or No ( we do not ) 4:39

  • Love..love your video. Thanks for clearing up so many us Yanks conceived notions of how to speak the British accent correctly. There are so many terrible "How to"tutorials, but after reading a lot of comments by other Brits. Please keep in mind most of us Yanks aren't trying to learn the British accent to poke fun or to tease, but rather are fascinated with the accent. Just as many are fascinated by our New York accents. Thanks for posting such an informative video.

  • Dear Lady,

    I really like you. Believe me. I am native German and learned English on several different school from teachers of different nationalities. I learned it all my life so I can speak it almost perfectly. So at some point I realized that some words I pronounce American and some British. I was hitting my face onto the keyboard of my computer when I heard what she was saying and how right you were. Even I knew how to pronounce anything that it sounds more British but that women has simply

  • Look I'm American and That video was perfect(even though I already have a perfect British accent) she's right and the Americans(not including me) should stop making fun of British people.

  • how can you have a 'british accent' ? haha i didnt realise you could speak in a welsh, english, scottish and irish accent at the same time... -_-

  • she was totally going to say" people will think you're taking the piss" I'm not british and I know that lol

  • All Americans think that we speak like Russell Brand .. And that annoys me.

  • @TheToxicGrimling there isnt such thing as a STANDARD british accent e.g. in scotland there is an accent called doric and in london there is an accent called cockney

  • You are.... in a word BRILLIANT!

  • Lost is a word.

  • Ughhh....?

  • pc

    

  • coustle

  • Shes funny. :)

  • If your going to try to make Ur accent sound better or whatever and your getting mad/upset about it.... Well stop because Americans don't talk like that. We talk like the "people up north" or whatever you were talking about. So before you get upset about an American teaching the British accent wrong u need to chill because YOUR teaching the American accent wrong. Basically I'm just say SHUT UP!

  • I REALLY want to watch the Expert Village video now but this video took it down haha

  • Funny Video.But actually I still hear People use RP/ BBC accent, mostly in older people(especially actor) some still learn RP accent to get rid of accent like say 'Yam Yam'.My uncle speaks with a kinda RP(BBC) accent mixed with a sort of Estuary with hint of Welsh and 'Sheffield' (he was Born in Cardiff He's Half English Half Welsh) He was learned to Speak in RP in school when he was young in London. His son however learned RP as to not sound like his Father's "mixed ...accent".

  • @Odakage P.S. "LAHST" is a word it mean she is 'Lost' when it comes to "British" accents hahaha, bad pun sorry.

  • OMG I SO AGREE!! I have a British accent, and that woman...gosh, seriously. Dog is not dawg! -.-

  • Thank you for this video! I'm actually a student and just learned some little English. But even I knew that 'fast' doesn't become to 'fost'! And this is one of the most hilarious things! Lol ;)

  • thank you most of what she said made no sence

  • thanks for your video and yes that women doesnot know what shes talking about.

    like you said she has never been to england.

  • and the way you say words in america are totally wrong so you are a hypocrite lmao

  • She's cute infact:))

  • I just want to point out that some people who are actress or a cosplayer who are american or any other nationality just needed help playing a role thats why I clicked on this. But I agree that woman doesn't know what shes talking about this is very funny I love your sense of humor :D

  • You remind me a little bit of David Mitchell - the facial expression when you said: "caestle becomes... Cahstle...", along with the voice and the general tired of life spirit... Very nicely done ^^

  • You look like my english history teacher! She loves Great Britain and she goes there once or twice a year! She studied there, too....

    She is absolutely amazing! She teaches the subject the rise and the fall of the British Empire, four lesseons a week and I love this subject (Even better than normal English language classes)! It`s my favourite, it`s never dull, she makes jokes and talks also about British customs...

    I will visite the UK next summer because of her classes!!!

  • lol the woman of your dreams

  • i was so wrong about british acccents....thks 4 the hel[

  • Can some plz link me the video

  • 00:51 british phrase incoming...aborted"!

  • I liked it, I'm an english student and I love english accent ^^

    It was very useful for me what I DON'T have to do.

    Thanks!

  • Thank you, I want to learn more from u :)

  • I agree. That teacher is totally lost. It's a pity to hear how she destroys the beautiful accent of British English. 

  • @LadyLexxUK can you make a video about how to speak in a british accent, more so like Ms.Potts fro Beauty and the Beauty Jr? I want to audition for Ms.Potts in my play. Im in middle school and i think it would give me a advantage. I wouldnt use it out, promise! I would appreciate it, thanks! love this video btw, its hilarious! (from a confused American, feelin' hasseled!lol)

    and i don't know where they came from, i wish i did though!

  • so Be ready to jump to the world full of pleasure

  • The only people that should be using a British accent when in England are spies and the fugitives who obtained a fake British passport in Malaysia. Other then that be who you are. I'm American and I'll speak how I speak where ever I'm at.

  • i think i no which video she is making fun of it really sucked

  • Lost isn't a word? Well I'll be darned

  • i loved your video......... thanks.......... 

  • Haha very good job!!

  • please make more

  • hahaha that women got fucked up, what an idiot.

  • heheheh I like the way you say at all and more It's cool

  • actually lost is a word

  • this is really funny actually, i agree with you entirely, but its just the little sarcastic comments like "we're not victorians" ;) xx

  • There is such thing as BBC English but not a BBC accent so Alexa is right. BBC English or Received pronunication comes in different accents but it is the correct educated form of English. So for example you will hear on the BBC Scottish, Welsh and Irish presenters who all retain their accents but at the same time all have a common BBC style speech. You CAN learn good British or BBC English pronunciation but NOT a Standard British accent.

  • man u r good ! funny LOL

  • lool like romantic nights, candles, re d roses

  • Thank you, thank you, and thank you for railing this idiot "teacher". I want to hear her read off a long sentance in this british ACCIDENT she's using. That would be hilarious... you rock Lexx. \m/

  • She's absolutely correct about this woman. She's rubbish. But, her imitation of the woman's accent is a little ridiculous. Apparently all Americans sound southern.

  • She is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i cant stop watching this is funny

  • hahaha NICE!!!!!

  • this is awesome...im laughing

  • this lady is hilarious

    

  • It is true that her attempt at a 'standard' British accent was a failure. However, your interpretation of how she said the words with an American accent was as bad as her interpretation of a 'standard' British accent. Not that you were trying to, but if you could properly identify the Standard American English accent, you'd notice it sounds just like the 'northern' accent you used. Then again, like in the UK, there are many American accents.

  • When you say 'northern' do you mean northern USA or northers UK? because if you meant northern UK, thats the same way we talk here! I was excited when I heard you say it! (:

  • this is SO hilarious :)

  • Interpretaciata e interesna , towa devoi4e se e zadylbo4ilo i sami wijdate kakwa dfylboka woda e tozi ezik. Tuk w amerika ima mnenie 4e sled okolo 50 godini British i Amerikan shte sa dwa razlichni ezika.

    Da go kajem kato Bylgarski i Srybski. i t.n.

  • dizzee rascal

  • thumbs up if you was laughing through the whole video! lol this is awsomely funny >.<

  • @DaFawky NO it is not ! It is colour, saviour and honour, the clue is in the name "ENGLISH"

  • @78paulk NO, it is color, savior, and honor. The English have fucked up their own language more than Americans. The English language is based on BASTARDIZATION in the first place. If you can't take the fact that language is fluid and evolves over time, then go ahead and kill your emo self.

    Because of the colonization of many countries over hundreds of years with the teachings of English, YOUR country is no longer in control over what is "English" anymore. Now suck it! :)

  • I love your video, lol! My grandmother is from England, and I have NEVER heard her speak like the lady in the video you were playing. Funny, lol :)

  • LOL you are ace!!! i love it when people get corrected. and thanks for mentioning us northerners, we often become overlooked when "british" things are mentioned lol x

  • so funny

  • Very good video!

  • the video was made to help actors and improv.. it wasn't suppose to be taken seriously... expertvillage helped me get a new york accent for a play even though that's not what an actual N.Y accent sounds like, it's all based on stereotypes of speech, so why are you so angry about it?

  • Lol I'm from Canada and do not have any kind of English accent and even I agree that she was talking rubbish!

  • hahaahahahhahhahahahha castle become cosel "for one it is castle not costle" the whole time see seems to being saying u stupid lady! lol

  • fist in the face ftw.

  • What you fail to understand, Lexx, is that Tracy Goodwin explains the mechanics of an accent for people who already speak the same language with a different native accent. For somebody learning to speak his own native langue in a new way it is necessary to exaggerate these changes as to understand what they are. Hence Ms Goodwin's pronunciation that you try to ridicule as "Victorian". You take it even further by echoing her in a way she never spoke – just to make your own point. Pretty sad!

  • @LK78BLN LK78BLN is Tracy Goodwin

  • @range567W - what's that? delusions? paranoia? do you think, tracy goodwin would pose as a 32 y/o guy from germany?

    pls come up with something better than that.

    and something better than teaching us real BE by listing vocabulary describing different kinds of drunkenness.

    speaks volumes (to use Lexx's type of argument)...

  • I LOVE YOU LADYLEXX UK. LMAO

  • 2:24 lost is a word. not the word she meant, but its a word.
