  1. This is the best and most comprehensive RP accent video I've watched. Thank you, Izzy. If you ever make a RP pronunciation course, I will buy it!

  2. 3:44 it sounded more like New York accent 😄 which is just-well if I'm not mistaken, it was constituent of British Immigrants (I believe in generally 1600s) – that's why NY accent sounds kind of British or "Americanized British" 😅

  3. I'm from sri lanka.. I finded you today. So I'm glad that… I learn lot of things. Thanks thank a lot teacher.. 🇱🇰

  4. Your video is great, your voice is very natural, thank you very much .Where are you from? and you are studying at Cambridge university right?

  5. Just because you have a very good accent doesn't mean you speak very good English. As long as we understand each other, why worry about your accent.

  6. This is really amazing… I never learned how to differentiate British Vs American accent before watching this video.
