@@uwuzon6606 China, for example ~ I’m a Chinese student in an international school. It's rare to see this kind of situation in our school, but it's quite common in many English language training centers which hired foreign teachers. The posher the teacher speaks, the more likely to become a professional teacher in that center. The language center will also advertise the teacher's Posh Speaking accent
One more tip for extremely posh RP speech: move one's lips as little as possible. I've seen Prince Charles speak a few times here on American TV. The man's virtually a ventriloquist.
I am Mexican and I totally get it............................................................................. cause I´ve hearing English all my life hohohohohohoho
Watch Downton Abbey every day At last you w'll be spoken like Crawleys family The accent Countess Violet's dressmade is real Brithis She told that she growup in SaintJames distric I love this accent
Jolly good show, old bean! Bravo! Absolutely marvellous! Although, I'd find it rather ghastly should one of my students ever wish to speak to me in such a manner. It's positively atrocious at times and reminds me of "yayas" and "toffs". Haha!
Well, keep it to yourself or his Gentleman’s Gentleman will thrash you with his cane. There is/was actually a published martial art covering that, which RDJ studied to play Sherlock Holmes.
Lmao why it reminded me of pooja whats this behavior lol , i guess she was obsessed with english accent too . I wonder why everyone hate indian acccent i found it quite amusing.
I’m Sri Lankan (colonized by the British in the Past) and rugby is very popular here too. And mostly a sport reserved for the most elite schools in the country. And we most often use the word rugger than rugby.
@@whocares5584 it’s a third world ‘developing’ country. It isn’t the poshest but an exclusive community does exist in here. And I’m certain it isn’t the ‘last posh place’ in the world.
@@Chapa24. I wrote "Sri Lanka" on Google Maps to see what the country looks like using Google Streetview. I thought that it would look like any poor country, but as far as I saw, it is really beautiful!
@@Chapa24. i really dont think you should take pride in your "exclusive community" i certainly don't, not while there's poor people suffering here everyday
@@Indian_gae_boii I never said I take pride in elitism and exclusivity. I just mentioned things for how they are. I don’t understand why you’re trying to argue.
In British English, we say long vowels quite often and we omit the /r/ sound frequently. We also, usually, have a deeper voice and a less croaky-like pronunciation. Apart from that, it’s really just the extra vocab and knowing when to put the glottal stop instead of the /t/ sound.
This video is absolutely brilliant! Amusing and useful, thank you 🙂 The part about David Gower taking a shower was hilarious! I'm going to use "poppycock" more frequently, i really like how it sounds
Please create more videos speaking like Posh British person😉....I love thee examples they do help alot and the way you speak is very Posh hey!..... Shou Out from South Africa!
Hi my dear old bean, how are you? Oh golly gosh, aren't you blotto, are you? ... No, it's needless to say poppycocks 😀😀😀 (I hope I didn't make a mistake) xD
Tom ur really great, i learn alot of thing from u, thank u so much and I really love the way you talk .. and at the end of the video, you said thank you for your time. No, we should thank you for your time to teach us .
Hey Tom. A native American English speaker here and I wanted to let you know you crack me up. Thank you. P.S. I think I can safely say that your posh is tosh!!!
Reminds me of a retired colonel I once met in Western Ireland. Charming bloke but it took me loads of time to translate to my Italian speaking wife who understands some English but could not wrap herself round his pronunciation.
I’m playing Zazu in the lion king at my school and i all ready have a London accent (unlocked the rest of my class) but I want to make it EVEN more posh to go the extra mile. Thanks for the vid:)
Thank you Tom, you've answered a question I have had for years! I am German, I've learned English at school in the 80s and at university in the 90s, I have a pronouncing dictionary - and I have always been taught the yod sound without a doubt. Duke, Tube, tuna - always only with a yod sound. That's why I also teach my students the yod sound. And suddenly I keep on hearing all these words with a tsh/dsh sound! And I always wondered why when who... I even asked English friends and they couldn't explain. Now finally! I do have my answer, thank you so much! (Now the question is - will I be able to change my way of speaking so that I can teach my students how those words are pronounced today?) (Btw the students' textbooks all use the 'old', or as you now explained 'posh' pronunciation!)
Das ist auch wirklich schwer für deutsche Zungen…Ich habe einige Jahre in England studiert und bin immer noch am Üben. Wahrscheinlich werde ich nie meinen deutschen Akzent loswerden 🧐
An English singer Johnny Flynn pronounces "dew" /dju:/, not /d͡ʒu:/, as most of the British would pronounce it, nor /du:/, as most Americans would pronounce it, so it sounds neither as "Jew" nor as "do": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2F9DDBhjOdE.html And I remember Galadriel in "The Lord of the Rings" pronounced "seduced by power" as "sedyoosed by power", not "sejoosed by power". She was portrayed by Cate Blanchette, who is from Australia, and I hear "tuna chewing" from Australians as well as from the British, but still she didn't turn /dju:/ into /d͡ʒu:/. On the other hand, this English teacher pronounces "deuce" /d͡ʒu:s/ so it sounds the same as "juice": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sqZ5r6q8_Sc.html So it's up to you! By the way, "tuna chewing" creates 4 pairs of homophones: "Jew" & "dew" (or "due"), "June" & "dune", "juice" & "deuce" and "jewel" & "dual". But I can't think of any minimal pair which contrasts /t͡ʃu:/ and /tju:/. Probably it's because there are few words that begin with "choo". Actually I can think of only one: "choose". "Tuesday" usually sounds like "choose day" in British accents, but "choose day" is not a word.
The posh pronunciation of “cough” is exactly how it is pronounced here in New York City. Apparently, we must sound rather classy here... At least sometimes! LOL
Good evening, dear Tom.Thank you for your great job.This video is sheer genius.Very useful.Very interesting.Enjoyed it.Greetings from Moscow, Russia.🇷🇺

I can’t stop laughing because of the monocle. I’m american but this is hilariously posh. Love it. Just picturing a tourist getting off a bus and swinging around a cane asking strangers for directions to the Ritz
Thank you so much, it was such fun. And I actually recognized a few words from Downton abbey! "What a beastly thing to do", "Crumbs!", "Golly!" (without gosh), and sounds of course. Good luck!
When I was in High School (it’s nearly a year since I left ) and when I was at High School I was taught by a technology teacher who spoke in a similar style to The Queen’s English and even though I was taught at a School called Hazel Grove High School . I was really interested in why most (not all) the staff there spoke with a posh accent. (the only thing that bothered me was the commoners in Mainstream because some students there didn’t speak as well as the students in my department) (The common mainstreamers spoke a load of Poppycock) . By The Way I went to that High School from September 2014 until July 2019 (I only graduated last year )
Fun fact: the word POSH dates back to the time, when people would sail by ship to India, Malaya, Australia and New Zealand. The cabin on the ship would be booked PORT SIDE OUT, STARBOARD HOME. So sailing around Africa, the travellers would have their cabin facing the cooler morning to noon sun, and the same sailing home. The cheaper cabins facing the warmer afternoon to evening sun where for the common people. Wealthier people who could afford the cooler cabins, soon became the posh people, as they tend to speak anyways the educated English. The wa‘er in Mahjorcah is not what it‘s ough‘a, innit?
I'm in the next series as the bumbling English teacher who falls in love with Lady Mary but hs his heart broken when I discover its unrequited love : (
You have a flat broad tongue (you may or may not have macroglossia -- one would need to take measurements to determine its volume relative to the volume of the oral cavity), and this is causing you to have a slight lisp. Also you have a mild Class 3 intergnathic relationship (the mandible is held slightly anterior to the maxilla).
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm a Yank living on the continent and used to do a fair bit of business in the UK in the property sector. It's amazing how much the English appreciate their language and the ability to speak it well. Quite challenging for a Yank, but gratifying when you're able to find words and expression that resonate with one's interlocutors.
😂 😂 I do, however, run a crazily 'wordy' family. Not a mathematical brain between us 😁 Living in Belgium and the (grown up) kids all born here, we all speak a couple of languages. (It's easier on the continent, so NOT to boast!) But we love language, words, accents, dialects and I love your channel! 😁 🙋🏻♀️ Isobel
Your videos really help me a lot. Thanks for your perfect explanations and your good humor. I'm Brazilian and I'm in love with British accent. Your accent it's enough to me
When you say very in the posh way it remembers me Scottish accent of professor Mcgonagall. I don’t know if it’s similar or not but I had this impression when I hear that.
In eloquent RP I would suppose, you wouldn’t refer to tipsy as blotto for that term means very drunk, instead, the correct way to say it in such parlance would be “tight”.
Tom : your video is very funny : you really have an acting tallent! But that makes me remember when I began to learn English at school in early 70’s : we were taught English with this accent . And for our first trip to England , we didn’t understand anything. But I still love to hear this accent when I have tea.
I'm American so I don't know bc I'm not British, but I hear almost a musical lilt with the posh English 😃 the sound goes up/down at the beginning or end of a word. Love it!
Oh my gosh Tom how could you forget "well done"!!! I say that all the time and I am from New York but I say it because I like how posh it sounds. Well done here actually means how you like your steak / meat cooked lol!
I really thought that was quite exquisite diction in this tutorial. I do look forward toward a further engagement that would lend itself to delightful collusion in the not too distant future. I concur it has been informative especially when refererance to spiffy programs such as the ‘Carry On’ series. Terribly sorry old bean I digress.It has been a pleasure and I forward due platitudes
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish Another likely example of old school posh accent or probably Conservative RP would be former BBC journalist Geoff Oxley, who hosted/presented "Look East" in the 1990s in the BBC Studios in Norwich. Nowadays, he's retired due to his age, of course. 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oCLtZfAA2wg.html
I Truly liked how you quoted from The Queen at middle of your video n set her as an example....A Total Perfection Accent ...yet I need to search for that FULL interview to catch the words she uses !
