Business Inquiries: [email protected] Hi! I want to share the fascination and fun of speech, language and accents, and I'm so grateful to anyone who feels able to support this work via my Patreon. I studied at University College London and got my PhD at the University of California Los Angeles. I've taught at universities including UCL, Edinburgh and Cambridge, published research in many areas, and worked as a forensic analyst. I've given invited lectures and workshops around the world. I wrote the influential 'English After RP' (Palgrave Macmillan), and my blog contains over a hundred audio-illustrated articles. I'm co-editor of the free searchable online pronouncing dictionary CUBE. I've also worked in film and TV as a screenwriter and director. I wrote the screenplay and arranged the music (performed by Lang Lang) for the animated fantasy Magic Piano, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award nomination.

Join my Discord: https://discord.com/invite/UBWMy5wqZY -- A discussion of the different ways American and British English pronounce loanwords from other languages. Thanks to @Teverell for Vigo, Kent, another Spanish placename in the UK. Various commenters pointed out Gibraltar. In my haste I grabbed a logo with Ukrainian Гаррі, not Russian Гарри. Ой. Yes, I did measure Australian 'pasta' too, with its fronter 'father' vowel, but I ran out time to include the data in this video. More at AusE in future!
