30 Hilarious Tweets That Instruct People On How To Speak In A British Accent

English is the second-most spoken native language globally and an official language in 53 countries. To many people, the British accent is among the sexiest ones out there. It’s one of the aspects that most women find attractive in a man. However, as George Bernard Shaw said that the United States and the United Kingdom were two countries divided by a common language. Both nations have the same origin of language. Their residents also communicate in English. But why do they sound so different?
Of course, their grammar and vocabulary are nearly the same, but it's their pronunciation that distinguishes them. When you hear British and American accents, you can distinguish right away. For example, the American pronunciation of "water" is "wa-der" while the British pronunciation is "waw-tah". Witnessing that difference, many Twitter users have shared and taught others how to pronounce the words in a British accent correctly. Scroll down to check them out.

England had a rhotic accent at first. However, to demonstrate their social standing, upper-class people, on the other hand, began to use non-rhotic accents.

Cockney, Yorkshire, Northern Irish, Estuary English, Scottish, Brummie, Geordie, and Scouse were all born as a result of this.
