Help teach me to speak with a british accent!?

There are A LOT of British accents...

Cockneys, Geordies, Brummies, Yorkshire, London (in general, I guess), Northern Irish, Welsh, Scottish, hmm there are more but I forgot one in particular, they say Grrrat not GrEat.

hmm I can't explain how you can get it, just try not to sound Australian which is like most Americans do when they copy the accent!

Slang.

I can't answer that one since I didn't live that long to start speaking like that.

ello? lmfao!!! ok ok

nutter- someone who's crazy or nuts.

willy- lol you know that.

"Bugger off!"- Go away

chips- crisps

shrimp- prawns

some people end a convo with a good old "CHEERS!"

pants- trousers

I think some people refer to ugly people as mingers.

"bucks"- quid

popsicle- ice lolly

LOL in Northern England, some people say cock as in sweetie or darling. He he

crazy, mad- daft

"Hey up!" is "How's it going?"

johnny- condom

John Thomas- ****

loo- toilet..usually public restrooms.

maths- math

mobile- cell phone

MUPPET! lmfaoooo it means like a idiot or silly/dumb thing/person.

naff- some people say, "not available for f*cking" (men say that)

the Old Bill- police

there are a lot but some of these are slangs and others are just things I remember.

MEH I don't use these...lol good luck.

First. There's lots of British accents. I'm American. I was born and raised in California. But in my early 20's I moved to the United Kingdom. I lived in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England. In England I lived in Liverpool and London. Accents changed region to region. And In London they even seemed to change every few miles!

I myself came back to the states with an odd hybrid accent. One that still sounded American enough that the British would say "Oh... You're from America, aren't you?" But here in the US all my friends and relatives would comment on how "thick" my "New Accent" was.

As for your part. You'll need to find out what part of Britain your character is from, then watch/listen to people from that region. Liverpudlians for example use the "flat" sounding "A" like Americans do. "Can't" rhymes with "ant" . But a lot of Londoners would pronounce the word as "cahhnt".

Cockney Londoners drop the "H" at the start of words and tend to end words in a vowel sound. "Bubble" for example, if you're a Cockney, drop the "L" sound and substitute an "O" , pronouncing it as Bubbo

I do not think that anybody earns a living by teaching British accents. In Britain, there are several accents. The only way the British you want is to practice by yourself.

drop all the "h" sounds from the beginning of words

example

How = ow (ow are you?)

put the accents on the first and last words of the sentences

example

ELLO, ow ave you BEEN?

watch British movies or Internet clips and repeat what they say

if you do that enough then you will start to pick up the accent

Put Emphasis on the first syllable of every fourth word, starting with the first. Only on the ones that feel natural, not all. A high rising tone is the best way to do it.

What type of British accent?

Britain consists of Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England.

So is it a Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or English accent you want help with?

Usually if you try to make fun of an accent and exaggerate a bit you will sound more like it. Then practice it a lot and hopefully you will pick it up.

Watch interviews of different Brits. Try to imitate how they pronounce their words.

lol that's from balls of steel. uhm, well, try watching some british films, like Shaun of the Dead, Love Actually, 28 Days Later and try to imitate them

Dont pronounce the "r"
