7 Steps to Learn a British Accent *Fast* (Modern RP) 

Your face is like a noble princess living in a luxurious kingdom. I love it.

Izzy, I could listen to you all day, you have such a pleasant accent.

Its not just the pronunciation that makes the accent beautiful. The vocal cords plus your beauty and constant smiles on the face amplify the atractipn.

I’m English but I’ve been living abroad and I miss hearing it, I’m also worried I might be losing my accent, thank you so much for this!

My mother tongue is Portuguese, I've been taught American English since I was a child and it was hard for me to try and speak with the British accent, but after I've started learning German, it felt more natural. I've noticed similarities in some aspects and sometimes it is easier to pronounce certain words with a British accent instead of the American one. Thanks for the video, it sure helps a lot!

What a master piece! Izzy I really love your videos, your voice is so calm and soft 🥺

Thanks so much Izzy for inspiring me. I am a not native but I’m hardly practicing through your videos and I’m thankful for that. Looking forward for more British pronunciation videos.

Thank you, Izzy! Coming from a north American accent and natively a SE Asian, I find it difficult to learn to change my voice placement. Listening to this and practicing those phrases led me to finding the right one *fingers crossed* ; now, my journey to consistency begins!

I’ve listened & watched this already, but I’m referring back to it again 😊 Thanks, Izzy! You’re a wonderful teacher, in many ways!!! More power to your channel!

I first saw your video by the one teaching modern RP, and since then, you became my role model!! I love your accent💕and thanks to you, my British accent has improved a lot! - I'll keep trying hard on it with your videos!

Awesome video Izzy. I’m not a native but with such videos I’m really getting better and excitingly learning the British accent . Thank you so much .

I've been watching a lot of content in British English, especially focusing on pronunciation. Among all others, you're the best so far. Many thanks.

Yay! Another British prononciation video 🙂 Please keep them coming and have a good one!

Very helpful, thank you so much, Izzy!

You and Lana Blakely is my daily Bible. As a woman that struggles with productivity and life in general, your content truly motivate me and its easy to apply irl. I usually watch Pop influencers vids but urs are so refreshing. Looking forward for more videos❤️

I am actually in love with your videos and especially the accent you have. In my personal experience, i can nail some of the vowels and consoants which are extremely imortant to get close to the British accent. Thank you darling for your work. I really appreciate that.

Lord! Wonderful! The best I've watched so far. Thank you so much, Ms. Lizzy. Please, do keep making more videos. We love to watch you, and can enjoy watching you all dday. ❤️🌹👍

Just watching and listening to you just melts my heart 🥰 more please 🙏

Oh boy, Izzy, you know what, I keep looking at all these English learning channels and the content is great. As a native British teacher, building my channel is daunting but I’m always inspired by great videos like this. ;)

in brief: The video provides a comprehensive guide on how to nail a modern Received Pronunciation (RP) British accent, also known as Standard Southern British English (SSBE). The video is hosted by Izzy, a Cambridge graduate and doctor based in London, who stresses that her accent is just one among many variations of British accents. Izzy focuses on seven key pronunciation points using specific words to illustrate each. Here are the seven points and words that she elaborates on: 1. Long O sound: Demonstrated with the words 'hello' and 'open'. The emphasis is on the elongated O sound, which is considered a diphthong or a moving vowel where the mouth gradually closes down. 2. Long wide R sound: The word 'tomato' is used to illustrate this pronunciation, contrasting it with the American pronunciation. This sound is also found in words like 'grass', 'bath', 'father', and 'laugh'. 3. Non-Rhotic R sound: The word 'rather' is used to demonstrate this feature of RP, which is the absence of 'r' pronunciation at the end of words when not followed by a vowel. 4. Schwa sound: This common, neutral sounding vowel in British English is shown through words like 'doctor' and 'rather'. 5. Short Round O sound: Shown using the word 'honestly', which includes a silent 'h' and the round 'o' sound. 6. Curled Round O sound: The word 'water' is used to demonstrate this point. Izzy also emphasizes the importance of enunciating all 't's in RP English, unlike in American English where the 't' sometimes sounds like 'd'. She also mentions the absence of glottal stops in RP English. 7. Full T enunciation: The word 'daughter' is used to illustrate the full enunciation of 't's, as well as the curled round 'o' sound from the previous point. Izzy encourages viewers to practice these pronunciation points and suggests more content for viewers interested in refining their British accent. She acknowledges the diversity of British accents and focuses specifically on the modern RP accent for this guide.

Gosh!!!! She's the most beautiful teacher I've ever seen in my whole life! She brights terrifically!

Hi ! Great lesson ! Thank you Izzy. I love it. I couldn't resist to stop the video for three minutes at 6:06... to look deeply into your heart. You are talented, warm-hearted, and optimistic, and you look so charming when you smile

You truly helped me a lot, all the answers I needed. ✨You explained it awesome

Thank You for simple and clear content :) Have a great day

Great clips! I always want to learn the "secret" of the noble British accent. This one is, by far, the most comprehensive clips. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! You are good!

Just on time! I needed this

Good video, Izzy. I love how you explain and your British accent sounds cool♥️💘

What makes your videos so pleasant, is not only your lovely accent, but you! Your smile and your overall demeanor is so very pleasant that watching you is a real treat. Thanks for your suggestions although I'm afraid I'll never be able to lose my American accent (however a polite one). Being a non-native but having lived there for quite some time, it seems to be rooted in me and it doesn't want to leave, alas. You, on the other hand, could read the phone book and still sound pleasant😁

Thank you so much!! This is really useful and well done. thank you so much. your accent is the perfection for my ears!

I've never seen a modern rp accent youtuber talks this fast, wow. And it motivates me, thanks Izzy.

Hello Izzy Sealey, I hope you are doing well. Thank you Izzy for teaching me these 7 words pronunciations to sound in British accent. I really love to speak like a British. These pronunciation is important for me to learn. You have best teaching skills Izzy. Thank you always

Izzy, you're a great teacher. Love this video.

Oh Izzy! I literally LOVE your English, especially your pleasant & beautiful accent ❤ Love your accents & videos♥️✨ Keep making such informative videos✨ And, I'd request you to make more videos on British accent bcz I literally LOVE British accent!!❤

This really helps!! Appreciate that! 🤩

So amazing! Loved it!

Thank you for the beautiful explanation. Basically the "-er", "or" sound at the end of the words in British pronunciation (RP) is a soft "a" similar to the "-er" sound in german but in german is a hard "a". That is what sounds to me as a portuguese native speaker.

Please keep on doing more videos ✨️💞 love to hear you more

Love your pleasant accent. And a medical student of Cambridge. And can speak Mandarin. What a perfect person. Very appreciate u.

Oh my god Izzy, I can't believe it I didn't learned british accent in 9 months now with this video of yours I finally learned it. THANKS ALOT!!!

Thank you Izzy, very nice video. Your accent is really great, a little too fast for me, but I'll manage anyway. And I'm definitely waiting for the next episode. Keep doing that. Regards.

WOW! Why can't all videos be this heart-warming! 👍Keep up the good work Izzy!

I really appreciate your perfect teaching.

Very nice and clear. Thank you 😊

Hello Izzy. I come from Indonesia. I've watched your previous video "How to Learn a British Accent". Thank you so much. That video also this really help me understand how to practice British Accent. When I heard your explanation in the beginning I thought wow the way you saying so fast for me...😅 But after listened umpteenth times I understand. I need video like this cause when I learned English at my college mostly my lectures taught American accent.

Great work Izzyy😊

I really love watching your video teaching about RP which is in line with what I studied in the past decades (ref. Hornby's Advanced Learner's Dictionary). I live in Indonesia and am an English teacher. ❤❤

Captivating discussion. Really effective.

You can just tell this lady is well spoken & clever

thanks for sharing I benefit a lot from your videos

Your vlog is so beautiful and powerful. Thank you for sending positive energy to people around the world. I hope you will continue to do so consistently. I watch you every video ... Bangkok, Thailand

I like your smile. Love to hear the accent. I'm still learning English thanks for making more content

You have taught us a lot in such a short time.

I love you Izzy, your pronunciation very very lovely.

hello izzy, your accent is very calming. i really want to learn british accent. hope you can make more videos🍒

I love it learning new things daily, i therefore surely have!! thanks a lot.

This is presented very well and easy to understand. I have also noticed that some words ending with a vowel or consonant almost have an "r" sound such as, "drawing," which sounds to me like "drawering," or "idea" which sounds like "idear." Thank you!

Great job on the new videos

Thank You very much for the tips. All the best.

THANK YOU FOR THE TEACHING

You're incredibly eloquent, did not expect to enjoy watching these so much! I could probably listen to you for hours; I'd love to see you doing a medicine related channel. 😁 But the term "RP" really bothers me, as it suggests this is the most prominent accent. Unless someone can give me hard evidence to suggest otherwise, I'll be very surprised if that's true. I've only met a dozen people in my life who speak RP. They're usually either retired or went to private school and/or came from a wealthy background. Most of us speak like total commoners. "Hey, s'up pal? 'Ow ya doin'?" 😂

Wonderful accent! Thank you for the tips, it's time to practice.

This is what I waiting for such a longgg time

Excellent English speaking teaching thank you so much

Thank IZZY so much. Good job . Have a good Day 👍

I love watching your videos ❤️

Love your accent❤ Actually, l use your videos as materials to shadowing and hopefully to improve my accent😊Looking forward to more English-learning related content, thanks

Great knowledge

This is a great video! I'm trying to work on my RP accent too!

OMG WTF?! I opened the video on my youtube recommended and was like "wait, she looks familiar". Nice to see you Izzy! I don't know if you remember me from NLCS, but I was in the year below you. I hope you're doing well!
