Interview | How a 100% Korean got fluent in British English 

@Kirt Kirt I actually heard a smidge of Aussie in her accent, but only a word here and there. I hear her Korean accent now and again as well. Truly amazing how well she's mastered the British accent.

What I found interesting is that at 1:18, when she says American, she loses her British accent on that one word and says it in a way that's neither British nor American. She sounds like a speaker of an East Asian language. I wonder why that one word would pop out?

Lol why I see this now! My parents are both korean and I grew up in korea until was 22! Cheers though :)

이 분이야말로 정상적인 마인드 가지고 계시네요.

저도 잘하고 싶습니다ㅠㅠ 파이팅!!

응 넌 죽어도 깨어나도 못해

개공감 ㅠㅠ

맞아요 노력해도 억양를 100%원어민화 시키는건 거의 불가능하고 진짜 노력해야 의사소통이 아주 쉬워집니다

노력도 있겠지만 듣는 귀, 언어능력 차이임 어차피 영어에 24시간 노출되면 말할 기회든 들을 기회든 엄청나게 많을수밖에 없음 별다른 노력 안해도 기본문법만 알면 억양이든 발음이든 유창함이든 좋아짐. 한번듣고 소리 잘따라하고 성대모사 잘하는 사람들이 그래서 언어 빨리배움 ㅇㅇ

Lol

햄버거는버거킹 ㅋㅋ 이지 하네요

너무 힘든 여정이네요ㅠㅠ

Agree!

Yes, you sometimes get that in English accents from some parts of the country, it's just not picked up on because it's obviously a native English speaker. English, interestingly, has adopted some features of the Australian dialect - apparently the long running and very popular soap opera "Neighbours" is to blame !

@@2112jonr As a native speaker from England. I have to strongly disagree with your comment.

I don’t think so

f Forecast A general southern American accent would be fun.

Yeah southern accent is fun lol When they speak that’s really hard to understand funny accent

which American accent? There's dozens.

im a korean, actually american accent is easy for me. so i always use american accent. but sometimes, i want to use england accent...i tried to practice this accent but it was really hard for me😂 because the pronunciation of t is much more difficult than the pronunciation of r.....

풍뿌잉 Don’t practice American. You’ll get a force compelling you to get a gun and go to the nearest school...

Alice Wilde she has a south London accent but some bits are a bit all over the place. Almost perfect. Also, the grammar is a bit off right? Other then that, very good

I'm from the south west and I'm picking up on the northern side of her accent. There's definitely Pennine-y vowels in there!

Jennifer Lee actually American accents are a lot easier for Asians as the sounds in American English are more similar to their languages

@@UserIsM I disagree, I can speak for Thai and Vietnamese.

@@indochinajames3372 well it’s definitely easier for more eastern Asian countries such as japan, Korea or China.

@@UserIsM I would also disagree, to each their own. I talk to east Asian people all the time (I do part time online teaching) and many of them actually say they prefer British accents. I think I've met one Chinese person who was quite young, who said they prefer the American accent. But like I said, to each, their own.

@@indochinajames3372 prefer it. Many Asian people like the British accents better. But the American accent is easier for them to pronounce as it is more similar to their language. I speak Chinese and Japanese so I can see many of the similarities

Imagine GUYS 님은 이 클립 보고 제 의견에 답을 한게 아니네요. 일단 이 인터뷰를 다 듣고 이해하고 나서 인터뷰에 내용이 무엇인지 알고 제 내용에 반박을 하시는게 옳은 순서! If you want to argue with someone, first thing first, you need to have your facts right. Obviously you didn’t actually watch this video cuz you have no idea what the interviewee has said in her talk that sometimes she talks like the actor that she is mimicking and she acts like the person as if she is the actor so that’s what I strongly agreed on the point. I have been living overseas 25plus years in various countries and I have been exposed to US, HkG, Aussie, British, Indian, Singaporean English and etc so naturally I am keen to know someone with the language ability and admire how they have improved as learning is endless in our entire lives. Whether you live overseas 5 years or more is not the point as you didn’t even need to mention that. It’s irrelevant and not important at all. No one wants to know how many years you have lived overseas for.The bottom line is that you need to have a right attitude and open mind when you read someone’s comments and accept differences of others! Be open minded and Do watch the video properly if you want to write something here.

자기합리화라니 돈없는사람들은 기회도 없는게 현실인데 노력은 할수있지만 돈없는건 방법이없다

와국살아도 공부안하면 영어못합니다 순전히다 노력임

Is this Korean? I dont want to sound rude sorry if I do.

It's definitely not Northern.

My challenge will be dropping my aussie accent while speaking Korean r.i.p me

Same here, tiny, tiny giveaways, but very infrequent. Most impressed ! :)

I noticed too.

최지영 음 그런데 저는 영어실력이 거의 전무할때부터 라이온킹같은 디즈니 애니메이션을 자막 없이 바로 보기 시작했어요 매일매일 수없이 돌려봤는데 신기하게 점점... 무슨소린지 알게 되더라고요... 우리가 모국어를 처음 배울때 잘 모른채로 뽀로로도 보고 뿡뿡이도 보고 하잖아요 약간 그런 느낌인것 같아요. 어차피 공부하려고 보는거니까 내용 이해에는 크게 신경을 안쓰고 "외국 어린이들이 이런 마음으로 보겠지..." 하는 생각으로 들리는 내용만 듣고 웃긴 표정 나오면 웃고 주인공이 울면 같이 슬퍼하고 하면서 본것 같아요. 그러다보니 점점 들리는 내용이 많아지고 따라할수도 있게 되었어욤

김말이 맞네요 들어보니 ㅎㅎ 근데 다커서 그런 에니메이션은 잘안보게되고 로코나 미드 마니 보게되잖아요...그럴땐 한국영어둘다키구 보면서 여러번 따라읽는게 더 도움이되는거같아요 저는갠적으루

최지영 그렇군용 사람에 따라 자막 켜는 방법도 도움이 된다면 얼마든지 좋은 방법인것 같아요ㅎㅎ

그니까유 그정도실력안되는 사람의 수준도 고려해봐야되는데

저도 지금 이 영상을 자막없이 보고있는데 좀 많은 도움이 되는 것 같아요

Michael Panayi well not for the world outside the england isles. We have british and american english.

But it is not wrong either.
