along the top or the sides it doesn’t do
any of that
it’s just relaxed and flat along the
it’s very boring inside the mouth it’s
all dead inside so just that sound if we

let me try something let me try
something um dude I’m gonna call you
back in like two seconds I need to fix
my skype because my skype is garbage
okay I’ll be back
oh I know anyway in order to fix it it
is broken but I know how to fix it so
don’t worry okay in this case what we’re
gonna do is we’re gonna practice you and
me
just you and me the comparison yes so I
know a lot of the the coins my Skype
audio wasn’t working I know how to fix
it don’t worry we’ll get it fixed cool
ok so first we’re gonna do the
comparison between the two so you’ve
done the first one this one however is
or compare them both together or or say
it with me or or example you see that
first one here were were compare that to
war my stomach is making sounds were war
so what’s happening in the mouth how
does this sound change well inside the
mouth there’s only a very subtle slight
change for the first one oh and you know
that your tongue is down it’s flat it’s
relaxed right or or I can make both
sounds when the inside is exactly the
same my tongue is still relaxed maybe my
jaw drops down a little bit more but
that’s not really important the main
thing is the lips pay attention to the
lips will say that that one it over
there is number one and this one right
here is number two okay so practice with
me number one
ah or or or or see the lips what’s the
only difference it’s just the lips
change shape that’s it so copy me or the
same with the words were war where war
well war say it with me dick well every
time with the hiccups second one work
work
walk work walk work walk say it with me
make it perfect
work walk and Stephen the convinced I do
need an assistant and I can’t afford one
though don’t have that money work walk
third one the little animal you find in
your garden
ah again it’s the same sound worm warm
worm warm again it’s really only your
lips that make the difference and the
last one
m-yeah words and ward but not often you
say ward in a hospital you would but how
often do you go to hospital um so let’s
just practice word word and the animal
horse horse so and Brazilians especially
Russians especially I know you guys have
a lot of problems with this one horse in
a British accent an American accent
you’re brilliant you’re fine there’s no
problem but if you want the British
accent that’s what you have to practice
horse
horse again remember what does your
tongue do nothing it stays down relaxed
flat whore horse horse I know it’s
difficult and it feels unnatural but you
need to keep the tongue down flat it
doesn’t move for this word horse horse
keep it down keep it relaxed it’s very
important horse mane well how to hiccup
in an English accent there should be the
next one yeah okay
I’m gonna quickly see if I can get the
same Skype sound back this is really
annoying me do that No
okay so I update it to Mojave on my Mac
and the thing that I used to make Skype
audio work on this is now not working so
annoying stupid Mojave ok well that’s
really annoying ok well well it’s no
problem
we’re gonna do it next time next weekend
we have half pronunciation half you
choose the lesson on grammar or wherever
I have something special planned for
next week every week I try to improve do
a little bit something extra and for you
guys because I love you so much
so again if you have any words that you
would like me to pronounce that you
don’t know how to pronounce with a
British accent let me know in the
comments also if you remember use this
emoji cuz it alone they make me smile
and can be your assistance of what it no
I would never have do that I know a lot
of youtubers do take people and the
people that will do free work like free
editing or free work for the person who
does YouTube and that’s just I hate that
I think it’s disgusting if someone does
okay so here as in like listen here and
the thing I don’t have hair here hair
here hair here hair if you pay a close
attention to the mouth and the jaw you
can see exactly how this changes big
smile
wider mouth here here
hair hair what’s the only change you can
see it right it’s still the same this
here my jaw just drops that’s the only
difference
hair hair but again very very important
keep your tongue relaxed and down your
tongue doesn’t do anything in American
English it does um it’s more there’s
more tension in the tongue but British
English no there’s no tension in that
tongue keep it down relaxed flat it’s
hey it’s a rule have a green screen I
think it’s breaking so if you hear some
strange like ripping noises yeah
migraine scary my just fall down it’s
could be a dramatic episode today um
okay I’m gonna read this Russian name
share share share Zod says odd Shahzad
says it is saying fear there same thing
here hair fear fear fair fear there
you might also it depends on your
teacher there on there isn’t there’s
another way to pronounce it and it’s
more you might say RP you might just say
it’s old-fashioned because it’s quite
old-fashioned to break this into two
distinct sounds fear fear fear fear fear
fair fair but if you said that these
days people would think you’re a bit
weird so don’t pronounce it like that
Hwang long is saying oh please tell us
you’re okay how do you pronounce off and
over so off the o FF off and with one F
it’s voiced of of again it’s that voiced
and unvoiced thing off there’s no
vibration in the threat oh there is a
vibration in the throat so keep that in
decks only how do you pronounce sauna
yes in a few other languages you would
say Sona right the hot room where you
sweat and it’s supposed to be healthy we
say saw sauna sauna duck is saying how
do you pronounce feel Phil and Phil okay
there a second to fill like fill a glass
and the name Phil exactly the same
Phil Phil and feel II feel feel if it
makes it easier add a yeah sound in the
middle feel feel because for some of you
have tried this and it seems to work at
a year sound in the middle thank you oh
I can’t hear you say it so I’m assuming
live and leave yes that’s a good one
live leave live leave I live in London I
Oh Matt Aldean okay
how do you pronounce photography and
photographic hmm great question
photography photography so the stress is
on top photography the second one
photographic so to graphic so the stress
is on grap photographic Elena how do you
pronounce schedule or schedule which one
is it so British people say schedule
Americans say schedule however we both
pronounce them both no we don’t British
people pronounce both ways we say
schedule and schedule depends on the day
depends on the person depends on the
mood Americans they would just say
schedule
I think IDI do you also say schedule you
have to confirm that for me Shu
how do you pronounce mobile like a phone
so um British people say mobile mobile
mo bile by your mobile Americans will
say mobile mobile and I think there is a
place in Texas with the same name and I
think they pronounce it Mobile mobile
Texas I believe I might I might be wrong
maybe I dreamt down I’m not sure okay
I’m gonna do one more and then I will
love you and leave you you can say
that’s people by the way I haven’t
taught you there and it’s a very British
thing to say when you want to say
goodbye to someone in an affectionate
way you can say okay I’m going to love
you and leave you alright I’m gonna love
you and leave you bye I love you but bye
okay Alexandra how do
pronounced Erie and AIA great question
Erie when the situation is a little bit
you don’t trust it you’re a bit nervous
it’s eerie eerie and aya aya when
something makes you angry
it provokes your ire ire okay one more
oh editing you do say mobile
oh it’s Alabama not Texas yeah my
geography is terrible I’m sorry Daniel
how could I like this question Jose
Antonio Ramirez Gomez is saying why does
why do you pronounce water with a schwa
sound and guitar not it’s a very good
question why don’t we pronounce guitar
like what how would it be that my brain
can’t do that switch but yeah so this
all has to do with stress water the
stress is on the first syllable
guitar the stress is on the second
syllable so this is about stress and
sentence patterns word patterns rather
the stress is on the first syllable
water so the second syllable is what we
call a weak form that means it becomes a
schwa
so water water water
second word guitar the stress is on the
second syllable so for that reason it’s
not a schwa yes it finishes in an R
sound but it’s an R not it’s not get er
it’s guitar yeah
the first syllable is the weak form and
that has a schwa good guitar well
depends how depends on your speed of
speech you could say guitar guitar you
could say if you’re prancing it it’s
more slowly get guitar guitar and
playing my guitar
that’s a schwa what’s this guitar I
pronounced more of an it sound okay
let’s do one more
Jake 21 is my name
English Ali okay so guys a secret just
for you don’t tell anyone
Ali is short for Allister there’s my
full name Allister Ali is shorter
because every time I speak to someone
what’s your name
Alastor hours call me Ali it’s it’s
easier so Allister my full name that is
Scottish actually so my name is Scottish
although I not Scottish no one in my
freckles a freckles

like in cats hat cap can the- can’t it’s

Oh Danny mad TD want and won’t great
question I made a video about this but
even I can’t remember which video it was
so the short way want its
Oh sound like in not hot want want the
negative of will won’t I hiccups won’t
Oh won’t so I always a very very often
practice this with my skype students and
the key thing is to make it oh oh it’s
this mouth shape that you need to

Alexandra I freakin love you thank you
yeah absolutely thank you so much and ya
won’t won’t won’t so you have to really
make sure you go oh start from small go
big back to small won’t won’t ya let’s
compare just the vowel sounds because
that’s the only difference between the
two words
want oh oh oh oh in what it’s one sound
want won’t you see there are two
different sounds
oh they’re mouth drops won’t I hope that
answers your question I thought you
didn’t even have a message you just
don’t thank you so much this you guys
are the best I freaking love you guys
m’kay okay couple
I promise I’m leaving a couple more
questions is it difficult for you to
understand everything Americans say no
because probably like you we grew up
with American TV so for us the American
accent is the same it’s we grew up with
it it’s easy to understand however they
didn’t grow up watching British shows or
movies maybe they watched Monty Python
or maybe they watched I know some
British movies now and again but they
didn’t grow up listening every day to a
British accent so sometimes for
Americans it’s difficult to understand
us
sometimes I’ve not often had that
problem it’s only with you know people
who live in the middle of nowhere
you don’t really speak to anyone so yeah
everyone understands everyone is the
very very short explanation of that okay
Manuel Mota great question let’s finish
on that one and how do you pronounce
literally and literature not like this
so the first one literally say it with
me literally you you actually have a
glottal stop there lip literally lip
trash what Li literally literally

fixed for next time and next time I have
something very fun planned it’s gonna be
really fun I’m very much looking forward

Magdalena a hola in Venezuela how do you
