British Enlish

Intonation
Enlish is intonation language. Intonation further aids communication of what you mean and
makes it more interesting. Examples of intonation are the rising pitch at the end of a sentence
which often indicates a question, or the falling pitch which indicates a statement. Intonation is a
variable feature of phrases and sentences, while tonality is a fixed feature of individual words.

Stress
English is considered a stressed language while many other languages are considered syllabic.
What does that mean? It means that, in English, we give stress to certain words while quickly
gliding over the other, less important, words.

Their combine is considered accent.

Accent?
Maybe you thinks it's cool to have strangers convinced that you have a British accent . Maybe
you really really want to train your enlish accent. Maybe you want to travel around the world
with your standard english. In any case, You need learn British accent

Firstly, British accents seem to have more dips and variation. The British accent (especially the
Southern English accent) is often described as very "crisp" and "clear"

<<Open your mouth a little wider, and move your lips more.>>
Actually, many people don't really move their lips, it's like they've got some sort of facial
paralysis which is quite funny.

<< Pronounce all your t's as [t].>>

You should consider to make some glottal stops as well. Mainly, at the end of words, or in
words like 'Scotland', they're more like " Sco'land ".

<< Don't pronounce your r's at the end of syllables. You'll have to listen to a movie to get it
right, or you'll sound like you have a Boston accent or something else. In the middle of words,
such as, "very", pronounce the r as a "d" instead. Make sure you put an "r" where it doesn't
belong: when one word ends with a vowel, and the next word starts with a vowel.>>

Everything OK but the 'very' stuff. No English person says 'very' like 'vedy'. It's actually a sort
of flap sound, like the Italian or Spanish 'r'. Besides that's a very ancient characteristic which
has almost disappeared in most English dialects, so you might as well leave this one out.
Pronounce 'very' as 'very' ^^ .

<< Pronounce Mary, merry, and marry with [æ or a]. >>

 British Enlish
??? No, no one in England pronounces those words with the same vowel. they all sounds
different. 'merry' has got an 'eh' sound. 'Mary' and 'marry' may rhyme depending on the dialect,
I'd say it would be something like a flat 'ah' sort of sound.

Well... for us, non-native speakers, adopting a British accent is the ultimate game of skill. You
can't deny that if you have a native-like accent, then you'll be more widely understood and in
general regarded as equal by the rest of the people. Some people,on the other hand, feel
annoyed when their interlocutor has a foreign accent, sometimes it's like they look down upon
people who don't speak English well.
So I will stress again that you should known about more and more english accent esspecially
standard accent, such as B.E or A.E
