Advanced British Pronunciation - Speak like a native in 5 sounds

this week we're doing the five most difficult sounds to get perfect British pronunciation all you'll need for this lesson is something which can record your voice and some sweets like this so go get those things and I'll be here waiting when you come back so first I want you to get something which can record your voice and record yourself saying all of these words pause the video record yourself saying these words press play again once you've finished have you done that good okay let's look at the first sound to practice this look at this photo which sound did you make was it something like ah well our is the first sound we're going to practice and in phonetics it's represented by this symbol when you're looking through in dictionaries and you see those funny symbols that's what these are say it again ah now put a sound at the end of it ah together art repeat with me so you can compare pronunciation art which word did you just say it's this one art now in American English it's Rohtak which means they pronounce the art British English is not Rohtak so for example Americans would say art art art art British English would say it art what's the difference inside the mouth well for American English we'd may pronounce the are the tongue is rigid and it moves British English it doesn't it stays flat and down to practice this get your sweet Americans call it candy put at the back of your tongue imagine it's very heavy and it weighs the back of your tongue down this will keep the tongue flat and down and it won't move while you're pronouncing these words if your tongue moves then you're pronouncing it wrong make sure your tongue doesn't move that's what this is for okay if you have problems saying art not art pronouncing yar get it on there imagine it's heavy art art if your tongue is down and flat you'll pronounce it perfectly with a British accent art put a sound at the beginning are then sound at the end all together heart which where did you say this one again if you're having difficulty sweet tongue heart it just helps train your tongue to be in the correct position to pronounce these sounds let's put a sound at the beginning ah altogether car American English car British English car again that tongue it's just flat and doesn't move that's the only difference car it also helps to imagine that the back of the throat is a bit more open British English you could see is more lazy ah it's just an open back of the throat car der arc dark which word is that dark ah der hard there same sound in class glass bar ask tasks next so we've just done our the our sound represented by this symbol now we're doing this symbol so we go from our where the mouth is open ah the only thing that's going to change is the lips the lips are going to form a tighter circle shape from R or R or you can see the shape do the same try to copy me ah or just alone or well that's this word or put their mirth sound at the beginning myrrh or more which where did you say this one more how about work or war this way or for this word put or Nanette's sound at the end all together horse say it with me horse again if you're having problems with this take the sweet back of the tongue keep the tongue down horse the tongue will be in the same position horse check the recording you did at the beginning of this lesson does that sound the same as this probably not you probably sounded like horse horse how would an American say horse horse horse but British English again horse what's the difference well the tongue is down it doesn't move and the back of the mouth is more open so it's just following the same technique of depressed tongue not depressed tongue but your tongue is down and it doesn't move this same sound appears in words like thought taught bought court for this sound you'll need to make a smile face and keep the mouth in a relatively flat position the tongue again flap down doesn't move yeah yeah say it with me yeah just alone that means yeah put a burr ear which drink makes you smile beer put burr yeah duh beard put ear here or here how about deer deer again it might be easier for you to produce the sound by making a smile face and keeping the mouth flat yeah again not ear no yeah it's more lazy from this sound ear open your mouth bit wider err ear ear air repeats it with me you just made the sound which is represented by this symbol in phonetics so again when you're looking through dictionaries and you see those funny symbols that's what these are again air put BRR air bear which where did you say this one bear air care that's this word care a share fair this sound also comes up in there where and finally get your mouth to go from this one air to more of a this shape air again inside the mouth nothing's really changing only the lips and their jaw is changing this is a say with me ah remember the back of your mouth stays open and relaxed the tongue stays down air this one tends to be the most difficult for people so again you might need a sweet put it at the back of your tongue keep that tongue down don't let it move so let's try with some words let's put a worse sound at the beginning and uh were which were did you just say this one were let's make it more interesting were at the end work do you remember this sound this was the or sound put work or that one walk compare the two work walk I walk to work say with me I walk to work let's try the bird remember this sound ear we had bur here der beard beard bird bird beard let's try another one go look girl girl were old world world this one's a very difficult one for everyone to say no doubt you'll probably say it we're all old something like that world say it with me a few times it will take practice world let's try one more were man worm worm that's the little that thing now I want you to look at these words again record yourself again saying the same words and compare your first recording with this recording how did you do have you improved do you sound like a real British person now okay let's do a test to see how well you learned it let's try a few sentences your beard is in my beer the girl in class has dark hair the worst bear in the world take care of the bear over there and finally for the big test there is an amazing song by Red Hot Chili Peppers called 30 dirty birds these are the lyrics try to say them in a British accent in the song obviously he's American so he'll sing it in an American accent 30 dirty birds sitting on a curb chirping and burping and eating dirty earthworms along comes Herbie from
