BRITISH ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION RP accent vowel sound here career and clear
hello and welcome back to english with
Lucy we’re now going to continue with
the British pronunciation series firstly
before we start remember to connect with
me on all of my social media I’ve got my
Instagram my Weibo my Facebook and of
course my youtube channel and then I
also have a patreon account where you
can sponsor me and earn some nice
rewards like Skype lessons and handmade
cards so let’s get started today we’re
going to talk about another diphthong
and this diphthong is here so if you
don’t remember from last class a
difficult is a combination of two vowel
sounds in the same syllable so we’ve got
the in and the ear ear now
British people especially in the
slightly posh accents well sometimes say
ear instead of ear so we will soften out
the DIF from a little bit so let’s talk
about some words that are well-known
firstly we’ve got words with E and a so
we’ve got appear here near clear fear
okay I am speaking in a strong British
accent so I’m using a lot of air
it’s very breathy then I have words with
E E beer career volunteer then I’ve got
words with ER e like atmosphere or
severe sometimes just the eat unknown is
pronounces ear so period or interior but
this is really probably even I don’t say
that so I’ll go interior it rather than
ear then we’ve got the e I in words such
as weird wind then record zo
in things such as theory we’ve also got
ie such as fierce cashier okay well I
hope you enjoyed and learnt something
from this lesson on the ear
and make sure you try and apply it when
using all the words that you learnt
today to anyone that’s complaining that
I’m not writing definitions for the
words of these videos this is a
pronunciation video and looking up the
words in a dictionary it’s fairly simple
so I recommend you do that okay thank
you very much for watching remember to
connect with me on my social media and I
will see you in the next video bye well
perhaps soften out the roundabouts pity
so we will soften out the diphthong a
little bit
