Dear Sabrah, love your lessons and your way of speaking, both with your perfect RP and, unexpectedly, with an amazing American accent!

My favourite English speakers are you both! And not because you make these awesome videos. I'm really fond of the way you both speak, especially the way you do it Sabrah. The way you move your lips and make sounds seems flowy, natural, simple, clear and elegant. It sounds beautiful or exquisite and so does Leila's way of speaking. Therefore I practise my RP accent imitating your pronunciation and such with your videos :)

I have been looking everywhere and tried so many of these. You are by far the best instructor and I gone through about 40 others over past few years

beautiful accent

Could you please make a video about phonetic Alphabet pronunciation for us

RP is so relaxing I fall asleep listening to any podcast, dialogue, speech... spoken in it

Ravishing Sabrah!

the best modern rp lesson on youtube. thoroughly enjoyed it. any more lessons for other consonants and vowel sounds please?

You still get regional variation in the use of hard & soft vowels, even "posh" Northerners say "bath" & not "barth" unless they've been to Eton or are landed gentry.

I speak with Estuary English, which means it’s a mix of Received Pronunciation and Cockney, so I kinda often drop my Ts, sometimes Hs too. Last but not least, I sometimes replace words with THs with F and Vs, like THINK becomes FINK and WEATHER because WEVAH.

In a nutshell I love the British accent

Thanks you very beautiful teacher l from India

I wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for the inspiring and motivating RP pronunciation lesson you taught. The experience is truly impactful. Thank you for your dedication and passion.

Hi Sabrah! Maybe my homework first: My favorite RP accent and voice is undoubtedly that of my university English teacher. Plain and simple, I'm addicted to it and you know, I'm not kidding at all, I'm very serious. I even happen to fall asleep with her at night (I mean her voice ;-) in the background at times... Some British voices I like with no particular order except perhaps for the first ones that instantly came to my mind, I'd say: Sabrah (my N.1), Johanna Lumley (would turn on the stoniest of men I guess), Adele, Kate Winslet, Carrey Mulligan, Emily Blunt, C.Z.J., Emma Watson, Maggie Smith, Helen Mirren, Keira knightley, K.S.Thomas., Kate Bush, Julie Andrews .... Except for my fave singers I'm less interested in the male voices ;-) but let's say : D. Gilmour, D.Attenborough, Stephen Fry, Nick Drake, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Brian May among some others ... Tell me a few of your own favorite male and female British voices as well please whatever the genre (music, cinema, TV presenters...) I would be so glad if you shared them with me :-) (even if I dunno them) I'll come back for more comments on the magnificent lesson, Sabe. 👌👍👍👍👍 Thanks so much for now. 👏 Bisous my belle 🥰🌹je t'🧡

I like Matt smith’s and James Norton’s accent when they give interviews. Are those modern RP?

Thank you very much@

We say flat not apartment.

Hi Sabrah, An interesting and unique lesson about Modern RP English Accent Pronunciation Training. I sincerely appreciate your efforts and learnered new things. This is truly useful to all learners. Best wishes 👏👏. Thanks and regards,

Thank you very much for the lesson 😄 🇨🇴 🇬🇧.. Greetings from Colombia.

My goodness Sabrah, does that mean a yes? ... Thank you so so so very much !!! :-) 🙏 ❤️🌹🤗😊👌 I love you.

1:40 RP English in British dictionaries say: /ˈtiˈtʃə/, /ˈwɔːtə/, /kəmˈpjuːtə/ RP English employed in this video: [ˈtiːtʃɐ], [ˈwɔːtɐ], [kəmˈpjuːtɐ]

Thank you very much

Aww Thanks so much Sabe for your kind reply and your amazing useful clarifications. In fact, ye, you made me realise that Joanna's voice has actually something rather 'sophisticated' indeed and quite poshy, that's right. She's a class act. Alan was such a fabulous and extraordinary actor indeed. As you mentioned it, I quickly went and focused on it more and wow, you're so right!... My impression is that his diction is fabulous. I'd say that his voice is a bit 'nasal' but clear and both very deep and smooth/soothing at the same time, would you agree? Kit is a very charismatic and talented actor. I know you're a big fan of GOT ;-) I also like his dry humour in his interviews. Nice voice! I'm so glad you share my likings on Emily 👌and Attenborough. 👍 I still disagree on the French 'English accent'. My gosh, I'm so ashamed when I hear my compatriots trying to speak English; regarding the accent, these lazy guys 'make resistance' 😂and decidedly make no efforts at all I have to complain! But well, I can understand that you feel it differently probably having the same adorable 'exotic' perception I have when I hear you guys speaking French ;-) Have a very good and sweet evening my lovely. Lots of Love, see ya soon 😍🙂🕊🌹 ❤️

It is certainly a great class of importance. Speaking English language in its original beauty is of Importance. It is from you people we get satisfaction .

Looking very nice

Wow, you're gorgeous! xx Loved the video. Thanks for that, and I like Hugh Grant and Emma Watson, but Luke Evans' accent is simple and doesn't sound too posh x'D which is nice.

What a wonderful lesson , Sabrah ... As always , You are so beautiful ...

Thank you for the effort

Butter IS really good for your heart :)

Lovely video Sabrah and not to mention your stunning hair which only adds to the overall excellence of the video .. hope to see more videos in the future

I like British accent, I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦

As usual, my sincere gratitude to you two 💙🙏

Dear Madam Teacher Sabrah,massive and incredible thank You for Your amazing job and effort!Your voice is so pleasant,pure,clear British accent(RP) and one of the best in huge,vast the Internet (my humble opinion)!Thank You so much again and have a nice time,please.

Great...as always!

Sabrah, I didn’t lie to you about coming back, did I? :-) I feel a bit embarrassed though but I'm so passionate with your lessons... I hope you’re not tired of my nonsense :-) I just wanted to add that your imitation of the charming Vanessa 🇺🇸 at 3:25 and 5:22 was really amazing and truer than nature! 😂👍👍👏. You're masterful with all the accents! That's when I now realise that I really have the British MRP accent with all the characteristics you said and not the American (except for a few words perhaps) Bisous. 🥰

Thanks you so much for this amazing lesson! We're so delighted to see you again. With regards to the app link you put on the comment box below, do you know of any version available on Androïd ? That would be appreciated. Thanks you in avance. Looking forward to your next video

"Schweppes Bitter Lemon. The only soft drink Children don't like." Is an RP sentence I heard once on TV.

THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US 👌👌

What does the sentence mean:- if you don’t have anything nice to say, i prefer we not communicate. And what does the word "prefer" mean here and i would really appreciate it if you explained the grammar of the word "prefer".

Nice video. My favorite RP accent: Keira Knightley for a woman and Bill Nighy for a man.

In my town everybody uses American English. But I only use received pronunciation of British accent.

Thank you very much Ma'am 👍🙏

~~~~ To Sabrah, ma belle muse ~~~~ This is what chanted, to the surrounding Nymphs My belle and fresh Muse, lover of the springs, Bathing near a cruse to naiads devoted, With algae, with reeds and lilies surrounded. Love, listening to her hidden in the leaflets, Came out and praised her, Mermaid of the lakes Her blond floating hair by him was garnished With hyacinth and myrtle braided in a wreath: "For thy voice," he said, "is sweet to my ears, As Joe-pye weed is to the honeyed bees." Fab. 04/29/23. 🌹 ❤️

Oh wow... Classy lesson dear... Thoroughly enjoyed the words you pronounced in RP accent... Love the way in which your chin wagged too in this lesson...🤭😀❤️ Mind you, you look so innocent in this video my dear... Infact, more innocent than a lamb.. 🤗 Watching you and leilas videos always make and light up my day and I am always waiting for them impatiently... Winding this off with lots of kisses and this is your good friend... "Gams...❤️

Thank you ! Very helpful.

Excellent

thank you so much!

Thanks beautiful teacher

Its funny I go in and out of using the 't' and dropping the 't'. Like if I'm asking someone for water I say "can I have some wa-er, please?", but if I'm asking someone if they want water, I say " would you like some wa-ter?" I suppose you can have an RP accent and be more casual at the same time, depends on your setting and if there's actually a need to speak clearly. I'm a Brummie not a Londoner.

And you

Very good ma'am!

Thanks teacher for new one excellent episode.👍️

Awesome video. Lots of love.

I Am Trying to Learn British Accent but I am having a problem speaking in British Accent. please help me by more videos!

My favorite part is from 7:53 to 8:11 and for this beautiful quarter profile and your smile ... and these lovely dimples on your cheeks! 🤗 Oh, by the way, we are the 17th of March today, right? Are you celebrating St. Patrick's Day in a way or another? ☘🍀🍺🍻🥃🥳🎸🥁🎻🎹🎸🇮🇪

the app is not avaialbe for iPhones! Only on androids

Very useful video

My favourite RP speaker? If I were British I wouldn't vote for him; I share none of his political and social views, but I find fascinating his pronunciation: he is Mr...J.W. Rees-Mogg.

Sabrah, love

I didn't have finished your video and I press the button like.

Couldn’t find the app?

Wish I could converse with you Sabrah!!!🙂

can anyone not find the app?

Northern Ireland are quite rhotic. As always thanks a lot dear teacher Sabrah

I’m learning British accent. It’s hard for me.

I couldn’t download the app, it’s not in my IOS store

Hello. Your video was really nice to hear. I’ve only got one question which is that you pronounce the sound of a: as in bark or large like I have heard some people pronounce it (back in the throat ) but also others pronounce it in a different way with the jaw more dropped (like a long sound of the u in put or cut). Is this possible? Thank you and keep up the good work

I would love to learn the RP, however the veebsy has stopped to exist..

It's not downloading. How can it'd be downloaded?

Amazing

hi! Here is my last writing. Try guys to tell it with the MRP accent. Good luck to all. Plea To Be Buried At The Beach of Sète The Grim Reaper who never me absolved For sowing flowers in the holes of his nose, Pursues me with a foolish zeal. So, all surrounded closely by funerals, I quickly saw fit to update my will To invest in a codicil Soak in the blue ink of the Gulf of Lion, Ô dip, dip your quill, Ô my old tabellion, And from your finest handwriting, Here is what it should betide of my body Now when my poor soul and him no more agree Only on one point: the breaching When my soul will take flight on the horizon To those of Janis, of Hendrix, of Bon That of Drake and of Stevie Vaughan May my corpse be brought back to the native soil "Paris-Méditerannée" sleeping car, Terminal at the Sète station. My family vault, alas! is not 'new branding' Vulgarly speaking, it is full to bursting And From here that someone is out It might be quite late and I just can't say, Tell these good people "Get out of the way!" Place and "Up to the youth!", somehow Just right by the sea, two steps from the blue wave Dig if possible, a small soft-holed seagrave Like a good and cosy dog home Alongside that shore where the sand is so fine Very close to my childhood friends, the dolphins Joyfully cutting through the foam A beach where even at its highest fury Neptune never takes himself too seriously And where, when a boat sinks, dafuq!... The captain shouts: "I'm the master on board, Sailors!, save the rhum and wine first and foremost! Each one his own bottle and luck!" And it's there where once, aged fifteen years old past, Time when fun alone is no longer enough, I knew my first affair of love Just lying next to a mermaid, fish-woman I Got from Cupid, my very first lesson Swallowed my very first fish bone! All deference kept to Paul Valery lad' I, humble minstrel, to his great words I add The grand master grants me pardon At least if his verse way better than mine is Let my graveyard be more marine than his Might it displease some autochton! That grave sandwiched by the sky and the water Won't give a mournful shadow to the picture But an inde-finable charm... The bathers, discreet, will use it as a screen To dry and change clothes; the small children will scream: "Oh Goody! A castle of sand!" Is that much asking,... on my little plot Some kind of large pine, Sweetie please, would you plant? 'Umbrella Pine', ideally! Its shade will protect you from insolation When you'll come give me in the summer season Some tender sweet lovin' curtsey Bring along musics, from Spain, from Italy! Filled with aromas, and lovely melodies Of Mistrals and of Tramontanes So that on my sleep, will pour out the echoes Of some villanelle, a day of fandangos Of tarentellas and sardanes And when taking my butte in lieu of a bolster You come, my undine, for a gentle slumber With less than nothing of outfit... I beg Jesus in advance forgiveness Whether my cross' shade leans over you a bit For a posthumous happiness. Ô poor kings pharaos and poor Napoleon Poor famous missing lying in Pantheon Poor ashes of consequences You'll envy a bit the eternal tourist Relaxed and sun-kissed surfing the wave for gist Who spends his death... on 'vacances'. 🌊 🌊 ⁔⁔ † 🧜‍♂️ F. 10/13/21 🌹💖 Inspired from the work by Brassens 'La Supplique' © 12 hours ago beach • death • will - grave • love • nature • rhyme Tell me Sabe for possible language mistakes or akwardnesses... I hope you like it Thanks a lot. Lots of love. Bisous. 😍

Thanks for video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco

When do you pronounce the a like an a and not like an ai? Or the o like an "oh" and not like an a?

nice lec

How are you Sabrah I know The video is not about this But could you please clarify this?? Can I use such as and say only one "thing"?? - Teachers will tell students names of football players such as Messi (I know it doesn't make sense, it's just an example) Xd As far as I am aware The use of such as is for listing When you say more than one "object" So Be like " When you get yourself into the army you will be taught how to use different tools, such as bombs, guns or knives...". Sorry my brain right now is not working properly Hope you are alright Take care 🙏🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

Looking from Assam in India Assam is famous for tea gardens and one horn rhino

Well done ✅

It's great to be with you

Can you tell me the difference between Mainstream RP and Morden RP?

Ok

I think when learning is okay to exaggerate the mouth's shape and movement, but then we have ventriloquists and they can speak clearly without moving too much the mouth, so at first is okay but after is not necessarily

You sure? ... Phew! Ok, then we're good! 😂😂👌👍 (But I know you girls! I still somehow wonder if there wasn't a kinda subliminal message behind that example! Andy? ...)

My goodness Sabe, I hardly recognized Andrew at 5:37!! 😲 I hope he didn't order his wedding tuxedo too much in advance!... I feel for ya, We need to put him on an emergency diet! 🌱 😂 And lock the fridge 🔒 ;-)

In standard neutral / newscaster American English, we definitely pronounce the T in "winter". Only southerners and hillbillies would say "winner".

I cant find the app anywhere, and your links are broken. :( Is this Veebsy app still available?

Ma'am Could you please recommend me some web series for listening rp?

Very good less

Love you mam.

Emma Watson

Hey that app looks dope and useful ! Every time the wait is longer for your new video , it’s still worth the wait tho . You hair looks like gold , you are a lioness. The golden lioness . That golden gate orange is terrific but my bet is on the person is wearing the clothes always makes the difference . Greetings and hugs from Mexico M’ lady .should I bend the knee ?

Hello. I live in South America and I am learning english. Is there anybody that can tell me if it is used to say "Teach" in a familiar and unformal way to adress teachers? (Like "Doc" for "doctors). Thanks

Hi sabe! I hope you're doing well. I thought of using 2 or 3 photos of you to illustrate my poems. Do I have your your autorisation? In fact, I already did but I will delete if you have any objection. I found, in any case, fair to ask you. Tell me ...

I love Zabra...I want cup tea ...in your house!! ;)

Hii 🍫

What's the RP ..abbreviation of what?

There are hundreds of regional accents but RP is more of a middle class accent.

🍀💚🍀

Americans absolutely say the t in winter and interview etc. She was giving a southern American accent, which is not really what most people think when they think of a standard American accent.
