Hello everyone, my name is Dylan and welcome to a brand new video. If you are new here,
hi there, I post fun and entertaining English lessons every single Friday. So today I'm going
to be teaching you how to correctly pronounce 80 everyday words in the modern RP British accent,
and then you are going to be shadowing or repeating after me. So this is going to be
a brilliant way to help you to sound more British in your everyday life. Now then,
I've broken these words down into five different categories. Firstly, we have basic simple words
that you'll hear being used multiple times per day. Secondly, we have words that are very commonly
mispronounced. Thirdly, we have words that contain silent letters. Fourthly, we have British exclusive
words. So words that you will hear being used in British English, but not really in American
English. And last but definitely not least, we have some random words that I wanted to include
at the end of the video. So I will read each word four times. And whilst you can just listen,
if you would like to, to get the most from this video, I would recommend repeating after me.
Now for this step, it's important to try and copy exactly how I say it. If you wish to really train
your modern RP British accent. Finally, everything we cover in today's video will be included in a
free PDF. So that'll be the pronunciation and the definitions and the link will be in the top
comment. You don't have to enter your email address for this, but you can always sign up to
my free newsletter. And every single Tuesday, I will send you a short, funny English lesson
about my life and a few other good things as well. You do also receive an exclusive bonus video as
soon as you sign up. And once again, the link is in the top comment. Right guys, let's do this.
Category number one, simple, basic words. And we have 20 of these. Now, as mentioned,
I'm going to be reading each word four times, and I would recommend that you repeat after me
and try to copy exactly how I say it. Throughout this video, if there are any words that you are
struggling with, I would also recommend writing them down and then repeating that section until
you are 100% confident that you are saying them in a British accent. Enjoy. Word number one,

Right guys and there we have it. That is how you pronounce 80 everyday words in the modern
RP British accent. As mentioned if there are any words that you are struggling with I would
recommend you to write them down and then repeat that section until you feel 100% confident
that you are saying them in a British accent. So as I said at the start of the video everything
will be included in a free PDF. That is the definitions and the pronunciations and the
link will be in the top comment. All I ask in return is that if you did enjoy today's
video why not consider liking the video, subscribing to the channel and turning on post notifications
and maybe even commenting down below. I recently found out that 62% of you who watch these
videos aren't even subscribed which is kind of crazy. That's nearly 2 thirds of you so
if you are one of those people why not do me a massive favour and hit that subscribe
button. If you would like to stay in touch I would recommend following my Instagram which
is British education underscore or my Spotify where all of my videos are posted and you
can listen on the go. That is just British education. Why not sign up to my free newsletter
as well and every single Tuesday you will receive a short funny English lesson about
my life and you will also receive an exclusive bonus video as soon as you sign up as well.
