Brits regardless of their accents understand themselves pretty well. So why you tripping lol. Brits are not too serious...They are true to the language and what works for them.
I understand you prefer the American accent for the reasons you stated - but some people don't like the American accent for similar reasons too. We all different and have individual preferences. Cheers. well, I gess I got d last say..lol brits understand themselves pretty well well, m glad people outside dont! gbam brits...bunch of xenophobes!!!! america and her language arent just for america but for d world folks around d world assimilate the american culture and its language astonishingly fast. these poor folks fathom americans much beruh they are so tolerant as evidenced in their scintillating and 'light' accent.

The Queen speaks 'posh' and also do many brits of royal lineage.
RP is used on BBC because it's easily understood by people who learned English as a second language. There are stronger English accents that BBC refuse to promote - because only the locals understand them.
Even in the US, the accents vary from West coast to East coast and beyond. A New Yorker sounds different to someone from New Jersey. And someone from South Carolina sounds different from a typical Amish. wat d heck is *posh english? abeg! BBC refuse to promote d mainstream accent. that certainly show ow linguistically and culturally conservative they are. I dnt thnk sane-minded people wud wana live in that world as per d US having pretty varying accent in terms of regional diff, das true. buh d diffference in d accents is not considerably pronounced. General American is General American!! americans are linguistically homogeneous! I adore em for that. brits are just too damn 'serious and overly proper in every thing.... |

Yeah most people new to British accents rather learn the RP cause it's true to clarity and easily understood. RP is what you hear on BBC news (broadcasters) on BBC? Fyn. buh its certainty not wat David and Samantha Cameron articulate. And neither does d queen use d RP. by d way, the BBC isnt just english...its international...so u figure out y they use RP. 85% of their audience are non- brits. in the US, BARACK OBAMA'S ACCENT IS D SAME AS ORDINARY AMERICANS!!!!!! NO CLASS SO MUCH FOR D BRITS |

Hila12: ...well I teach the 'posh' british accent and also the RP to overseas undergrads. Let me know when you want some tutoring. no disrespect Ms. I assume the RP which is typical of the Brits accent that u r raving about is for YOUNGER SPEAKERS OF BRITISH ENGLISH and not not of d mainstream one which is incorporated by advanced, elite speakers. so much for england with its 'category of english speakers'. this is linguistic class warfare...there in England. my token |

American English sounds more like an empty barrel to me ears. in the united States,say/ u-nai-did/----i just tapped that 't' thas in d middle of that united...aint that cool and novel? well, in the US, better is pronounced in two ways 1. better= be/rur 2. better= bedur pls note that the "d' in the second pronunciation guide is not actually, literally articulated D its a mix of t and d...u just tap it just a little like bottom= badum and so forth as for the Brits, its just drab...unremarkable bro |

Godvilla: It wasn't necessary of u to summon your dictionary before making a point? british accent is sweet, graces the air with its pleasant perfem, scintillating, well articulated and sexy. if its so sweet, y dnt we enjoy their music? if they sound so sweet, y dnt we have the finest public speakers from England? if they are so pleasant, y dnt a lot of non. brits wanna copy their manner of articulation? in my opinion, they speak better english than americans...no doubt buh, the sounds of their language aint 'charming' check out these words atom USA--adim UK--atim agile USA--ajul UK---ajail just see and consider...which is really cooler |

I'm seriously practicing America way of pronunciation. Are u that good at it now? What materials did u use to master ur accent? I need any idea of how to master the America accent. If u know any tools or materials that can help both in soft copies and hard copies u can link me with them. But how well do u speak the America accent? i speak it remarkably well while i was in high skool, i had a chance to go extra mile while we were treating this oral english. i just became obseesed! i speak natural ?say /na-chrul/ american english...bug i get better day by day thru movies and stuff i dnt no wat buks or software to prescribe but m so happy to teach u..... m on whatsapp and bbm |
Romance / Re: Ladies! Which is sexier - The British Or American Accent? by rago(m): 8:14pm On Mar 11, 2015 |
this is a subject thas of huge interest to me.
les do this.
A lot of u got it twisted wen it comes to what constitute 'English accent'. many of u equate accent to speaking standard, orderly, correct and eloquent English. Zero!!
BY ACCENT, it means the manner of pronunciation;a way of pronouncing words that indicates the place of origin or social background of the speaker. accent does not mean how 'well and erudite' a speaker articulates the language.
there's no doubt that the Brits and Americans have their unique English accent.
personally, i believe that when it comes to the use of English, the Brits are just awing. they speak English with authority, erudition, eloquence, dignity and stately. they are way brilliant at it---so clean and fresh.BUT THEIR ACCENT IS A NO NO. I personally dnt fancy it. its just ordinary and kinda drab.
as for Americans, they truly naturally bastardize the language but their accent is remarkable like a baritone. its sexy, unique, rotic, exquisite and just so charming. the 'lighter' side of it is one the coolest things about american accent.
as for me, i so damn can converse in american accent...no bragging guys. as for the British, i really dnt no coz the one in the dictionary is for those young speakers of British English. american accent is generally for all Americans regardless of status or class. |

Then, worry NO MORE! This app does all that and many more. You can download from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ahmedmolawale.timetablemanager Don't forget to rate the app. Enjoy! Olawale Ahmed, ba? guy, u are awing! i just downloaded the app. i saw a review by paul Eze i will post mine after i get to experience the "feel" in d meantime, tell me smthing, Mr. Developer....anything...ow did u do it...ur inspiration and stuff like that ur literature might b the beginning of a remarkable career.... gudluck buddy |

Let me advise you as a brother..... Just some weeks ago,the same thing happened to a stallite...He violated the terms and conditions and he was blocked.... The fact is,without access to the email,you can't get your accommodation approval because that's where it will be sent to...And without accommodation approval, you can't be given accommodation.....But again,the good news is that it can be rectified by the school ICT office also called MIS,if you try it. tommorow and it says the same tin,then you have to go to MIS to rectify it..But don't make the mistake of applying for hostel until you solved the ish....BTW,dyu stay in IB? taylor, happy sabath thnks wat does one do that may warrant violating terms of use, so others avoid potential mistake |
