E42 Want to sound British? You might regret it... (feat. Emma, from Pronunciation with Emma) - Advanced English listening practice
Manage episode 474960291 series 3577242
An episode featuring a proper pronunciation expert, Emma (from Pronunciation with Emma)!
In this episode of English and Beyond, we dive deep into the surprising world of British accents — and why they can cause so much tension, even within the UK.
From royal RP to the streets of Newcastle, accents in Britain are more than just a way of speaking — they’re loaded with class, culture, and even controversy. We are joined by our first special guest, the eponymous founder of Pronunciation with Emma, a pronunciation expert and linguist, to unpack the history, politics, and social perceptions of accents in the UK and beyond.
We discuss:
- Why one accent dominated British media for decades;
- How your accent can still affect your job prospects in 2025;
- The myth of "the" British accent — and how Americans (and Hollywood) often get it wrong;
- Emma’s favourite accent (spoiler: it’s not British!);
- What happens when learners want to sound like the Queen; and
- Why pronunciation and accent aren't the same thing.
👂 Ideal for advanced English learners interested in real-life language issues, identity, and communication.
🌍 Plus, Emma shares insights from her own journey as a Yorkshire-born pronunciation coach living in Spain.
