/ɑː/ and /æ/ Vowel Sounds in RP British Pronunciation

Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.

A lot of people get confused when they hear British pronunciation. We pronounce words like 'bath' with two different vowel sounds. Learn how and when to pronounce the /ɑː/ sound with a British accent in this video from ETJ English

I love the way you talk. I don’t need subtitles. It’s so non-native-friendly. 🥰

I like your way of teaching! You didn't make things very complicated😊 I am always excited with your lessons. Can't wait for your other videos. You're the reason why I am starting to love British accent even more. Thankyou Teacher Elliot😊

[jesuselunicocamino]

GOD BLESS YOU Elliot, your videos have been an excellent help to improve my British English

[SuperCarottesRapees]

Great video! I'm an 'advanced learner' and I've found this very helpful, especially the remark about southern speakers also using the short, /æ/ sound.

[yosrazhang]

Waw this is so far my favourite teacher, I started with a random video and I can't stop! Keep it up and thank you for these awesome videos

[francescopaparella]

I'm quite impressed how clearly the words come out of your mouth Elliott. It's rather difficult to hear people speak like this down the streets.
How have the YouTube videos on pronunciation affected the way you speak on a daily basis?

[ricardoa.flores]

I love how you teach
I am from Argentina and it's very very interesting to watch your videos thouth my english is so basic and can't understand it all

[andyricardez]

This has been really useful. All the instructions are Great, is the first video that explain what to do with the tounge, in other just you have to see, hear and repeat, but if you are alone nobody make the corrections.
