Master the British English.

Master Received Pronunciation — non-rhotic R, crisp T, posh vowel space.

British English here is the standard Southern British accent that UK dictionaries use as their reference (en-GB). Unlike American English, it drops the R after a vowel ("car" is /kɑː/) and uses a long /ɑː/ in words like "bath". AnyAccent scores each word and sentence against this accent.

About this accent

The phonetic identity of British English.

British Received Pronunciation is non-rhotic (the R in "car" disappears unless followed by a vowel), keeps a clear T between vowels ("water", not "wadder"), and uses a long /ɑː/ in words like "bath". AnyAccent walks you through the linking R, the trap-bath split (last vs lahst), and the intonation patterns that make British English sound, well, British.

Phonetic signature

Three sounds you will drill.

Bath vowel

bath → /bɑːθ/, the trap-bath split

Non-rhotic R

car → /kɑː/ — drop it unless linking

Centring diphthong

near → /nɪə/ glides inward
