 RP, often known as the “Queen’s English” or “BBC
accent,” is a prestigious and historically linked form of
British pronunciation, considered standard or “neutral”
English. It’s associated with educated speakers,
featuring clear articulation, an absence of regional
nuances, and a non-rhotic pronunciation, meaning the ‘r’
at the end of words isn’t typically pronounced.
 Emma Watson, both herself and through her character
Hermione, perfectly exemplifies the RP Accent in her
English.

 To English ears, people with a Wales accent sound
like they’re singing. This happens because the
vowels are often stretched out a little and, when
speaking, Welsh people tend to go from a high to a
low pitch. The stretching of the vowels is something
that makes the Welsh accent quite distinct from
English.
 Naomi Watts speaks with a Welsh accent, and here’s
a video of her pronouncing the name of her
hometown. (Would you give it a shot?)

 The English accent in Australia is marked by its unique
characteristics, notably the pronunciation of the “e” sound.
Australians tend to pronounce the “e” sound as a more relaxed, open
“ay” sound. This alteration is evident in words like “pen” sounding
more like “payn.” Moreover, Australian English often adopts a non-
rhotic accent, where the “r” sound at the end of words is omitted
unless followed by a vowel in the subsequent word. This is
noticeable in words like ‘water’ or ‘burger,’ where the absence of the
‘r’ sound is distinctive. This distinct accent embodies a laid-back and
vibrant quality, reflecting the cultural nuances of the region.
 In each country, English speakers have varied names for everyday
things. For instance, a simple word like
‘cigarette’ is uniquely termed in South Africa, England, or Australia.
