When he’s doing a southern American accent, it’s it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly which southern accent that he’s trying to portray as there are several. Where I’m from in the south of the US (Tennessee), we would pronounce, “sky” like “ska”, but the “ah” sound is short. He is also clearly pronouncing, “sense” which the Deep South folks don’t typically do. They would pronounce it like, “sayunts”.

Lazy or dumb people say "I could care less". This drives me nuts, as well. "Could care" is wrong and many of us know it.

I find it curious (and curiously I do it naturally) how some people say "this year", kind of having an intruder h between the two words 🤔

Adapt your pitch. I've got very different voices in English, French and German and that's absolutely fine. English has a whole host of stop, devoiced, nasal and aspired sounds. French on the other hand features more voiceless sounds articulated in the mouth area. More English sounds require that airflow be obstructed and then released in one sudden burst.. And English has a fairly balanced amount of voiceless and voiced sounds, which means that vocal cords vibrate way more than in French, which is mainly about voiceless sounds. All those differences make a huge difference in terms of areas most commonly involved to articulate sounds. French is mostly articulated in the mouth area, allowing for a deeper, less nasal voice. English needs more lungs, throat and nose, so it doesn't come as a surprise that you'll end up sounding like a different person from the one who speaks their mother tongue in their so-called "natural voice". I've got so used to switching voices unconsciously that I couldn't even go back to my French voice when speaking English. I know it may sound wacko but the voice is super important if you want to improve your accent. And tip number two: learn the prosodic patterns in English conversation. That's a key element to acquiring a decent accent. And obviously, practice vowel sounds as English has got soooo many vowel sounds that aren't found in other languages. Understanding how the schwa sound is a key component of word stress is also essential, since most reduced vowel sounds (except for /e/ that becomes /i/ when reduced) are pronounced like a schwa. > derogatory: first mission is to spot the stressed syllable. Without further ado, let's reveal the correct answer... The second syllable "ro" is stressed. As a consequence m, the "e" will be reduced to /i/ and all the other vowels are to be reduced to a schwa sound, with the vowel sound in the fourth syllable being almost elided (di-RO-gu-t(u)ri). Voilaaaaa. Once you've wrapped your head around stop consonant sounds and reduced vowel sounds, you've done 90% of the job.

I'm bilingual (Italian born and raised in an African English speaking country) but what I struggle most with is slang. I just saw you have a video on that! Especially youngsters' slang on the internet. Full of references to TV shows, abbreviations, acronyms. Or maybe it's better to call that jargon? Might be because I don't follow all those tv shows or stuff like that... Actually I don't even watch TV anymore....

Love your videos Tom! My husband and I visited London for the first time in 2017. On our first day there we headed to a local pub for a couple of Guinness and fish and chips. There was a table of 3 men sitting right beside us and we couldn't understand a word they were saying! We are from Canada and many of your slangs, ellipsis' and sayings are used all the time in Canada, yet we couldn't understand them. They spoke what seemed like all slang words and they had very heavy accents. All we could do was laugh.

Sometimes I think that lots of foreigners speak English better and more correctly than lots of native speakers. Native speakers also make mistakes or sound weird. Being a native speaker doesn't often mean knowing the language well 🙂

New words: Sportiment, Quixoric I've discovered two new Gen-Z terms over internet that I'd like to share with everyone: 1. "Sportiment": This term describes supplements specifically designed for sports and athletics, tailored to enhance performance and support athletes' nutritional needs. 2. "Quixoric": Used to denote a superlative word of luxury, "Quixoric" embodies extravagantly rare, prohibitively expensive, and uniquely sophisticated qualities. Details and usage are below: 1. Sportiment Definition: A term combining "sport" and "supplements," referring to specialized supplements tailored for athletes and sports enthusiasts, designed to enhance athletic performance, recovery, and overall well-being. Usage: "Sportiment" encompasses a range of nutritional products formulated to support the unique demands of athletes, including muscle recovery, endurance, energy levels, and hydration. Examples: Sportiment Protein Powder: A high-quality protein supplement enriched with essential amino acids, designed to support muscle growth, repair, and recovery after intense workouts. Sportiment Electrolyte Tablets: Convenient tablets packed with essential electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium, formulated to replenish electrolyte levels lost during prolonged exercise and promote hydration and endurance. 2. Quixoric (adjective): Definition: A term encompassing from the fusion of "quintillion," "exotic," and "luxury," symbolizing extravagantly rare, prohibitively expensive and unique qualities, often accompanied by sophistication. Usage: "Quixoric" characterizes items or experiences possessing exceptional rarity, uniqueness, and sophistication, often considered as being of significant value or unattainably expensive. It epitomizes a pristine form of luxury and stands as a superlative word in the realm of luxury. Examples: Quixoric Silk Robe: A luxurious robe meticulously crafted from the finest silk sourced from remote regions, adorned with intricate embroidery and exquisite details. Quixoric Tech Gadgets: A curated collection of cutting-edge technology devices showcasing rare materials and innovative designs, offering users unmatched functionality and unparalleled style. Cheers, I will discover and add more words for you all.

As a Geordie and a linguist I must congratulate you on your Geordie pronunciation of 'economically'. It was spot on. For anyone interested, a distinctive aspect of north eastern English (Durham, Tyne and Wear, Northumberland) is that k, p, t sounds between vowels in words like 'lucky/happy/matter' are pronounced with 'glottal reinforcement'. That means they are pronounced simultaneously with a glottal stop. Unlike most glottal stops in British accents it does not replace the consonant. The consonant is still there, it just has a glottal stop within in.
