WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.158 oh my god what's going on amazing you're 2 00:00:02.158 --> 00:00:05.440 learning me that america so funny rude 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:08.160 very rude 4 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.679 hey marina why do you say sidewalk 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.480 instead of pavement well this is quite 6 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.279 obvious you actually walk on the side of 7 00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:20.239 the road okay but what about fall 8 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.320 autumn is such a pretty word i have no 9 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.480 idea why you decided to change it this 10 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.240 is easy leaves are falling down this is 11 00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:31.279 why it's fall okay that makes sense but 12 00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:34.479 why would you eliminate the word q it's 13 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.479 one of my favorite words it has five 14 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.840 letters but we only pronounce one q well 15 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.920 this also makes a lot of sense people 16 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.640 actually stand one by one and they form 17 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.440 a line so i think the right way to call 18 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:49.840 it is lying amazing 19 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.159 hey guys welcome to lingo marina i have 20 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.239 an amazing guest today we're making this 21 00:00:54.239 --> 00:00:57.039 video together with lucy and lucy is 22 00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:58.719 from great britain so we're gonna talk 23 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.359 about differences between british and 24 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.359 american english i'm not an american but 25 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.920 i've lived here for over six years and 26 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.600 i've put some effort into actually 27 00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:09.760 learning the american way so today we're 28 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.159 going to compare two versions and 29 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.240 you know you don't have to speak any of 30 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:15.360 those but 31 00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:17.040 i think as an english language learner 32 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.040 you need to be able to understand people 33 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.360 from all over the world and this video 34 00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:23.600 is hopefully going to help you 35 00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:25.119 tell the difference between the two 36 00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:26.799 versions of english 37 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.959 let's jump on a call with lucy and 38 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.240 discuss those differences hi lucy let's 39 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:34.880 talk about the r sound 40 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:35.759 like 41 00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:37.119 in the us 42 00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:38.880 we actually pronounce it like can you 43 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:41.600 say i'm bored i'm bored 44 00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:43.040 bored 45 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.000 yeah see like you you don't pronounce it 46 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.960 can you say morning morning 47 00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:51.600 yeah see like morning and then can you 48 00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:54.640 say water oh this is your favorite 49 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.479 americans always ask me to pronounce 50 00:01:56.479 --> 00:01:59.119 this is my favorite 51 00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:01.759 water water although you will hear some 52 00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:03.520 brits saying 53 00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:04.960 water 54 00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:07.439 bottle of water 55 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.520 when i was in great britain i i was like 56 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.840 i'm fascinated by british accent i want 57 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.599 to mimic everyone 58 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.200 uh but yeah this is like what i do i 59 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:16.800 come to different countries and try to 60 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.440 try to mimic people but yeah basically 61 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:22.959 in american english we pronounce the r 62 00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:25.599 in in british english you try to you try 63 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.680 to avoid it you're like morning what 64 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.120 water but can you say report report 65 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.120 report so we do use it at the beginning 66 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:34.720 of words 67 00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:36.800 but in the middle of words sometimes we 68 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.280 avoid using it so yeah and i think water 69 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.440 is is the word that you can actually use 70 00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:43.280 to like check 71 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.360 who comes from where because in america 72 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.599 not only we say r in the end water we 73 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.040 also like 74 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:50.879 i say we 75 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.319 oh yeah but anyways uh when we say 76 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.040 water we like we don't even say tea we 77 00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:00.080 say are like water water it's just 78 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.840 interesting to see what native speakers 79 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:02.560 do 80 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.319 uh with their mouth guys before we 81 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.560 continue i have something exciting for 82 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.200 you lucy and i have put together a mini 83 00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:11.599 course which lasts two weeks that allows 84 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.639 you to boost your vocabulary with new 85 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.200 words and phrases in both british and 86 00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:19.200 american english so basically the way 87 00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:21.280 it's gonna work is that during the 88 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.280 course every day you will get four 89 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.760 phrases with explanations from me four 90 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:28.000 phrases with explanations from lucy and 91 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.239 you would also get regular tests with 92 00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:32.400 phrases that you've learned before so 93 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.560 you constantly go over them and train 94 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.680 your brain to remember those phrases at 95 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.120 the end of the course you're going to 96 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.200 pass a big test where we're going to 97 00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:42.959 show you which phrases you remember it 98 00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:45.120 and which phrases you would need to pay 99 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.519 extra attention to so basically this is 100 00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:51.440 your chance to study with me and lucy to 101 00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:54.159 learn both versions of english british 102 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.000 and american and this is a course for 103 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.080 intermediate learners to help you get 104 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.720 onto the next level to make your english 105 00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:02.799 more advanced and to make your 106 00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:05.439 vocabulary more diverse and it doesn't 107 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.280 matter which version of english you 108 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.239 decide to speak british or american or 109 00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:12.239 maybe your own version of english but i 110 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:13.760 think it's really important to be able 111 00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:15.439 to understand 112 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.680 everybody who speaks english so join our 113 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.000 course the link will be down below we 114 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.440 decided that we're going to give a 115 00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:24.160 special prize for the first 150 students 116 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.120 who join the course so make sure you're 117 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.479 one of the first 118 00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:31.360 to enroll the link is down below see you 119 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.160 soon on a course another thing i wanted 120 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.160 to talk about when we have a phrase like 121 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.639 for example once and for all would you 122 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.160 pronounce the r so that's really 123 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.479 interesting because if i pronounce four 124 00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:45.120 on its own i don't pronounce the r but 125 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.600 if i say once and for all 126 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.360 i do pronounce the r do you know why 127 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.120 that is i don't think there are a lot of 128 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.400 like rules 129 00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:54.479 in the language but i also try to think 130 00:04:54.479 --> 00:04:56.320 does it does it make it easier to 131 00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:59.120 pronounce if i add an r there 132 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.360 does it make it sound like a song and i 133 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.199 guess i guess it is what do you think 134 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.120 yeah i mean there is a slight rule this 135 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.759 is called a linking r so if a word 136 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.279 ends and is spelt ending with an r 137 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:12.800 um and the next 138 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.800 word begins with a vowel sound then we 139 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.800 will include that r 140 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.720 so if i say for me 141 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.240 no r sound 142 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.279 but 143 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.039 for us 144 00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:25.199 i do include the r sound yeah and i 145 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.720 think it actually makes it easier to 146 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.199 pronounce it for us yeah definitely 147 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.160 what's it like in american yeah same 148 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.039 once and for all it's just american 149 00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:36.320 american english is all about 150 00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:38.720 simplifying things and if it sounds like 151 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.199 a song then it makes sense to pronounce 152 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.279 it that way this is this is what i think 153 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.160 so you can link everything into one word 154 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.080 so people can't actually tell when the 155 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:51.440 sentence is over so it's like a one one 156 00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:53.759 thing let's try a couple more examples 157 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.919 can you say where are you going where 158 00:05:55.919 --> 00:05:58.000 are you going yeah it's pretty pretty 159 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.199 similar um to get you a bar of chocolate 160 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.160 to get you a bar of chocolate yeah so 161 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.080 the following words begin with vowel 162 00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.240 sounds so we are using the r sound there 163 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.319 the linking r there is another 164 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.039 interesting thing that british people do 165 00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:16.560 uh can you say i saw a good film so i 166 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.680 would say i saw a good film or i saw a 167 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.000 good film but sometimes you will hear 168 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.319 actually i say sometimes oftentimes you 169 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.319 will hear people saying i saw a good 170 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.039 film and we kind of insert an r where 171 00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:31.199 there isn't meant to be one sometimes 172 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.199 instead of saying words like drawing we 173 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.520 say drawing because it just feels 174 00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:37.680 natural to us interesting is there a 175 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.919 rule for that we sometimes include it 176 00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:42.000 when a word ends in a vowel sound and 177 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.839 then the following word begins in a 178 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.080 vowel sound but we don't always do it 179 00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:48.319 and people do frown upon it they don't 180 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.279 like it um i've said drawing sometimes 181 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.960 in my videos and people have sent 182 00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:55.039 comments saying there's no r there don't 183 00:06:55.039 --> 00:06:57.279 pronounce it and bainbridge thinks his 184 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.360 stalker is a bloke so there are two 185 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.400 cases 186 00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:03.279 if a word ends in a schwa sound and it's 187 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.919 spelt with a and then the following word 188 00:07:05.919 --> 00:07:08.880 begins with a vowel sound r will often 189 00:07:08.880 --> 00:07:12.080 act as a connector so for example 190 00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:15.599 india is known for its diverse culture 191 00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:18.319 india is for ritz 192 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.639 four ends in an r so we are meant to 193 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.280 have that there but india ends in an a 194 00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:26.639 so that r is intrusive interesting india 195 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.160 is known in darius wow i can totally 196 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.680 like 197 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.520 yeah i totally get that 198 00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:36.160 i've heard it before i've never realized 199 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:37.759 it's actually that way how would you say 200 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.759 it in american english with your accent 201 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.560 in day is known there is no art like 202 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.560 i've never heard americans actually do 203 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.520 it india is known yeah india is yeah we 204 00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:49.599 do use the r quite a lot something about 205 00:07:49.599 --> 00:07:51.759 looking after a cinema actress we do 206 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.599 actually have another situation where we 207 00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:56.319 use it it's when a word is written with 208 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.120 an or at the end and the next word 209 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.080 begins with a vowel sound so 210 00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:05.120 i've been a law abiding citizen my whole 211 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.240 life law abiding would you say that or 212 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.000 you would just hear people say that i've 213 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.240 been a law abiding citizen i've been a 214 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.479 law abiding citizen i think i might say 215 00:08:14.479 --> 00:08:16.960 it if i was speaking casually with my 216 00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:18.800 friends but if i was speaking in a 217 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.759 formal situation i would probably avoid 218 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.919 using it look there appears to be a flaw 219 00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:26.160 in the bombs operating system awesome 220 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.960 let's move to my favorite sound tea 221 00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:31.360 well the letter t in american english 222 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.640 actually has four ways of pronunciation 223 00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:37.440 you can pronounce it as t as r 224 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.679 uh there's also a glottal stop sometimes 225 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.919 we also pronounce it as d what about 226 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.640 british oh we have a great relationship 227 00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:47.440 with the t sound and we love glottal 228 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.120 stops so 229 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.000 we pronounce it in two ways we either 230 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.399 pronounce it as it should be with the t 231 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.880 or we replace it with a glottal stop for 232 00:08:56.880 --> 00:08:57.839 example 233 00:08:57.839 --> 00:08:59.679 water or 234 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.160 water so it's very common to use the 235 00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:05.279 glottal stop at the end of words i would 236 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.080 say but i don't want to but i don't want 237 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:08.880 to 238 00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:11.679 but it's less common to use it within 239 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.559 two syllable words for example water is 240 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.040 something i wouldn't say but in certain 241 00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:19.279 areas of the uk with accents like 242 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:20.559 cockney 243 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.720 it's like a fundamental part of their 244 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.640 accent they would ask for a bottle of 245 00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:26.720 water but for me it'd be a bottle of 246 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.360 water awesome and then another thing 247 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.600 that you do in great britain so actually 248 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.679 when i went to london in london they 249 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.480 call the underground the tube 250 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.120 so this is how i learned the word tube 251 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.839 and i learned it way before youtube came 252 00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:43.440 around so 253 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.760 when i came to the us when everybody 254 00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:48.240 asked me what i was doing i would say i 255 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.958 make videos on youtube and it'd be like 256 00:09:50.958 --> 00:09:51.839 what 257 00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:55.360 and then like in america we say youtube 258 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.760 but it took me a couple years of 259 00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:00.160 switching from youtube because i learned 260 00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:02.559 in the british way to youtube and people 261 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.200 laughed at me in the comment section uh 262 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.360 for saying that so 263 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.160 what's what's with the with the ch sound 264 00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:13.600 uh when the letter is t yeah we add a y 265 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.958 sound so it should be youtube 266 00:10:16.958 --> 00:10:20.240 but when we have the y sound or like the 267 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.519 t y u sound we often squish it together 268 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.519 and make a cha sound 269 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:26.480 tube 270 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.440 so instead of saying tuna we might say 271 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.958 tuna in fact i know that i say tuna most 272 00:10:32.958 --> 00:10:34.160 of the time 273 00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:36.559 unless i'm trying really hard to speak 274 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.000 really well i want a tuna sandwich 275 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.800 so for example for me i watch the news 276 00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:44.958 what do you watch the news and i eat 277 00:10:44.958 --> 00:10:49.120 tuna tuna like tuna tuna sandwich 278 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:50.240 tuna 279 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.200 how interesting and duty oh it's this is 280 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.958 where tea becomes our like duty duty ah 281 00:10:56.958 --> 00:11:01.440 it's the flap t duty duty duty duty for 282 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.760 us i think british is like cuter 283 00:11:03.760 --> 00:11:06.240 it's so weird because american english 284 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.958 was so aspirational for us as children 285 00:11:08.958 --> 00:11:11.040 because we used to watch american movies 286 00:11:11.040 --> 00:11:13.200 american tv shows and so when i was a 287 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.600 child and i used to play pretend i used 288 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.200 to put on an american accent and it 289 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.360 would drive my mum crazy 290 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.120 because it was probably a really bad one 291 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:22.399 interesting because when i was staying 292 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.559 with my british friends so they're very 293 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.160 educated and 294 00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:28.078 they'd be like oh american english 295 00:11:28.078 --> 00:11:30.559 they're always so loud they're avoiding 296 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.640 grammatical rules and like when we're 297 00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:34.720 walking london and we saw americans my 298 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.839 friends are 299 00:11:35.839 --> 00:11:38.000 americans i was like okay i'm gonna 300 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.600 learn the british way 301 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:44.320 that was so funny rude very rude 302 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.958 yeah no i mean like i totally see why 303 00:11:46.958 --> 00:11:48.559 this could happen like also because 304 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.320 americans are very loud but yeah it was 305 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.078 interesting and when i learned the 306 00:11:52.078 --> 00:11:54.720 british accent like it took me 307 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.760 several uh months of staying in the uk i 308 00:11:57.760 --> 00:12:00.800 could not understand american movies it 309 00:12:00.800 --> 00:12:03.600 was really hard for me like i had to 310 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.279 listen really really carefully to 311 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.200 actually understand the american way i 312 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.600 don't know if it's just me or any other 313 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.839 language learner but like 314 00:12:11.839 --> 00:12:13.440 first of all you're like when you hear 315 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.880 the real english you're like oh my god 316 00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:16.320 what's going on it's not what i've 317 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.399 learned at school and then you get used 318 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.320 to one accent and then you hear another 319 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.880 act especially like british and american 320 00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:25.200 you're like wow oh my god i have to 321 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:26.720 learn everything 322 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.679 again 323 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.000 yeah it's so easy to get used to one 324 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.240 specific accent i learned spanish in the 325 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.800 south of spain and i got so used to it 326 00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:36.000 that i actually 327 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.720 struggled a little bit understanding 328 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.279 speakers of like a northern dialect 329 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.559 yeah that's why you've got to listen to 330 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.399 as many accents as you possibly can to 331 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.040 make you kind of a well-rounded english 332 00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:49.839 speaker and understander 333 00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:52.399 let's say this i'm going to say this the 334 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.040 way i would say it i met my mother 335 00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:57.120 on the tube well i wouldn't say on the 336 00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.679 tube because we don't use the tube in in 337 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:01.760 the us but anyways on the tube on the 338 00:13:01.760 --> 00:13:04.160 underground on tuesday 339 00:13:04.160 --> 00:13:06.559 what about you i met my mother on the 340 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.120 tube on tuesday 341 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.200 tuesday if i were talking to my friends 342 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.920 i'd say i met my mother on the tube on 343 00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:17.040 tuesday can you say during during it's 344 00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:19.040 actually easier to see during what do 345 00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:21.679 you say i would actually say you can say 346 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.440 both i've heard both in america people 347 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.760 say during as well because it's just 348 00:13:25.760 --> 00:13:27.839 during like here you actually make an 349 00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:30.160 effort to say during during is 350 00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:32.800 easier so i think it's it's just comes 351 00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:34.480 it just comes naturally 352 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.760 during and reduce reduce reduce yeah 353 00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:41.279 reduce reduce americans also pronounce 354 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.760 ch instead of t in such words as 355 00:13:43.760 --> 00:13:46.839 eventual mutual adventure 356 00:13:46.839 --> 00:13:49.360 pictures some people just say no picture 357 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.519 picture what about british i'd say we 358 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.040 match you on that 359 00:13:53.040 --> 00:13:54.880 you will hear some incredibly 360 00:13:54.880 --> 00:13:57.440 well-spoken people saying eventual 361 00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.958 mutual adventure but 362 00:14:00.958 --> 00:14:03.920 pretty much we say adventure picture 363 00:14:03.920 --> 00:14:06.880 eventual mutual let's talk about the 364 00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:08.720 stress in words because it's also 365 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.639 different for british and american 366 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.040 english okay 367 00:14:12.040 --> 00:14:14.000 advertisement 368 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.559 we actually say ad i don't i don't hear 369 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.040 people say advertisement really do you

advertisement 373 00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:29.760 advertisement and honestly because we 374 00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:32.000 consume so much american media it's 375 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.720 really hard to know which words are 376 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.639 like the gen have the genuine british 377 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.480 pronunciation and which ones are just 378 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.959 kind of americanisms that we've adopted 379 00:14:40.959 --> 00:14:43.040 i would also say add 380 00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:45.040 okay let's talk about donate i'm going 381 00:14:45.040

it donate okay 385 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.519 it's very clear the stress is on the 386 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.839 first i think in british like both right 387 00:14:55.839 --> 00:14:58.399 yeah
