0:51 : ok
1:15 : the Germans have bombarded British shores
That escalated quickly.

Second video I watched of this Channel. As a teacher of English in a foreign country I couldn't be more grateful for the excellent balance between being informative and entertaining.

Great job.

I'm English but not posh (bristolian) I love to do accents, I've always wanted to know how to do an old fashioned posh English accent, still can't quite do it though!

At school I was taught English with an RP accent, watched BBC and thought well, it seems I can communicate with anyone in England.

Until the immigration officer at Heathrow asked me "Washapurpsavisit".
I thought Jesus is it even Britain.

Later, I found out that only 3 per cent of England speak with an RP.

So that probably was the biggest misconception about Britain

This channel is exacly what I have been looking for! Splendid! :)

[TheGenericNerd]

I still like the more archaic "theatrical" version of RP. It makes me wish that people in the States still had the Trans-Atlantic accent like back before The Great Depression.

[clemsonbloke]

When teaching accents I think one thing that many fail to cover is that of cadence. The Cadence of British speech is different from that of an American. It might be helpful to teach that for those who wish to master a British accent. If the cadence is off, it will come across as an American faking the accent. Oh sure the pronunciations may even be correct but if the cadence is off, it will sound off.

Hi there! My name is Malena. I'm from Argentina. I'm studying to be a teacher of English. Next week I have to deliver a class about English accents. I chose Upper RP (posh accent) and the Cockney one. These videos have helped me a lot! THANKS! You're a geniuos! :)

[Mutantcy]

Aren't monocle chains supposed to be attached to something?

[chiquiono]

Thank you for the vids. I showed the Cockney clip ( love that one) to my students in order to learn about the different accents and dialects your language has ( which make learning it so exciting) It's a pity some of them think all of you speak RP. Thank god you're here.

The Queens English rock! It is just lovely!

[ekaterinaabzalova]

Your sense of humor is just amazing. So amazing that it made me write this comment and I don't normally leave them. Thanks a lot for the good mood and high-quality content!

Hugh Grant's accent and voice are a symphony to my ears.
