Will the accent of studying in Britain be much better than that of studying in Canada, America and Australia?
British accent is characterized by vibrato, almost every syllable is pronounced clearly, and there is a very obvious difference between long vowels and short vowels. American English, on the other hand, is a bit vague, and most of the long vowels are truncated. For example, the A sound in class is a long vowel, and the average English pronunciation is more complete. On the other hand, Americans tend to pronounce short sounds, which sound similar to the A sound in bad. Another example is aunt. Americans are almost invariably called ants, which makes it unclear whether they are talking about their aunts or ants at home.
British accents often pronounce unvoiced consonants on weak syllables very clearly, while Americans often pronounce unvoiced consonants as voiced consonants. For example, batteries, Americans read like badri.
In fact, the English pronunciation used in English classes in primary and secondary schools in China is based on British standards (now the new curriculum standard has begun to use American accent). The conversations between China people and foreign journalists are basically British English. In foreign media, BBC is recognized as a model of British English. Among the movie stars, hugh grant (starring in Four Weddings and a Funeral) graduated from Oxford with a standard upper-class English accent.
American accent
In fact, there is not much difference in accents in different parts of the United States. In addition to the truncation of long vowels mentioned above, Americans often pronounce -ing as-n.
Eastern United States
Mei Dong's pronunciation, because it is geographically close to Britain, is more similar to the British accent in many ways. I have a professor who graduated from Princeton (located in New Jersey). A few weeks ago, I thought she was English. Later, after many confirmations, I realized that she was an American.
Linguistically, there are tongue sounds and non-tongue sounds. Rhotic stress, specifically R, should be pronounced whether it is a consonant (such as red) or a vowel (such as four). On the other hand, it is a non-rho sound. This pronunciation style is to pronounce only the consonant r and not the vowel R. British people, parts of the eastern United States and a small part of the southern region are non-vowels. Most parts of America are consonants.
Because the eastern part of the United States was developed earlier, the population mobility is relatively large and the accent is very mixed. So far, I haven't found any film and television works that can highlight the American-Eastern accent. Although many plays, such as Friends and Sex and the City, are set in the eastern United States, these plays cannot fully reflect the accent of the eastern United States.
Among these celebrities, the singer Clay Aiken is from North Carolina, and his pronunciation is very strange. (Source: English McDonald's-English learning portal EnglishCN.com)
Southern United States
The economy in the southern part of the United States is backward, and the people's general education level is not high, so it has long been looked down upon by people in other parts of the United States. Most of the south is an agricultural area, and farmers are called red necks, which means that they are red in the sun all day. Red neck became synonymous with white people in the southern United States.
The southern American accent is characterized by a long sound. All vowels are very long, and there is no pause between words. They are all read together. In addition, southerners love to use nasal sounds, and their conversation sounds like two people with a cold talking. In fact, the southern accent is easy to be laughed at.
Among celebrities: President Bush spent most of his life in Texas, speaking with a southern accent. Dr. phil McGraw, a famous psychological program host, is a southerner with a strong accent.
Movies and TV programs: Almost all movies set in the southern United States have a very easy-to-distinguish southern accent. The more famous ones are Forrest Gump and the comic book King of the Hill.
Yao Ming's trip to Houston is a special case of American southern accent-the coastal area of the Gulf of Mexico. It is said that people in this place speak southern accent+Meidong, which can't be confirmed.
Western United States
The western region accepts a large number of immigrants, so the accent is mixed. What is more prominent is that the O sound in God is dragged to Gaad, and the leg pronunciation is layg.
Australian accent
Australia was originally a British colony and was used to distribute prisoners. Later, a large number of gold diggers poured in.
Australian accents often omit the consonant H and pronounce the vowels directly behind them. For example, how is often pronounced ow. Australians call their friends mate and like to exaggerate their hair into myte. So there is a famous joke. Australian tourists always like to pester the tour guide and say, "Where are we going to die?" Where will we die? Where are we going today? Australians announced their death today.
Celebrities: Many Australian stars who developed in Hollywood, such as Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, all spoke with an Australian accent. Nicole seems to be the least obvious.
Film and television works: The egrets, sharks and dentists in Finding Nemo are all typical Australian sounds.
