BRITISH ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION (RP accent) - /eə/ vowel sound (hair, parent, air)

Hello and welcome back to English with Lucy

Today is an exciting day because I'm starting a new mini-series with you guys

All about British English pronunciation

Now, arguably one of the most difficult parts of learning English

is the pronunciation of the many many vowel sounds

So, the first part of this series is going to be all about the different vowel sounds that we use in British English

Quickly, before we get started

Make sure you connect with me on all of my social media

I've got my instagram, my Facebook, my Weibo and of course my Youtube channel

And, as I've mentioned before, I have a Patreon site

Where you can sponsor me and earn some really nice rewards like skype lessons and hard-written cards

Before we get started I just want to make one thing clear

I am not trying to make you get rid of your accent

Accents make us unique

I just want to help you improve your pronunciation

So you can be better understood and can communicate more easily

So, don't go crazy and think 'I must lose my accent I must lose my accent'

Because, A, it's really difficult, and B, why?

Unless you want to be an actor for a specific job role, there's no need

A story that might surprise some of you is that

Throughout my childhood and some of my teenage years

I was really really embarrassed of my accent

I have a relatively posh British accent

And some people used to make fun of me at school

But know I've realised that accents don't matter

What does matter is bad pronunciation, and this is where I come in to help you guys!
