⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This video doesn’t promote that you SHOULD have any particular accent. It’s just an educational (and possibly entertaining) video for English learners who wish to learn more about British English accents (specifically Received Pronunciation and Modern Received Pronunciation) and compare it to General American English Pronunciation. I am originally from York (England), so my accent is a mix of Modern RP with some Yorkshire features. ENJOY THE LESSON! 😊

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚
