Video on how to pronounce the /o:/ sound with the Received Pronunciation with examples



Thanks for stopping by to learn.  Alright so I'm gonna make it really snappy for you all. 
Like I always say,  this is immensely vital to people living in Nigeria who want to be more eloquent than they are now.  Those who would like to get a near-perfect British accent and understand the disparities in sounds between British and American  English.

So,  in this video,  I will be talking about /o:/ sound. Example include 'awkward,  fall,  talk,  lord etc. 

So I selected a few words that we shall be looking at the differences in how they are pronounced in both British  English and American English. 

Here are the words I pronounced in the video. 

All,  awkward,  order,  corner,  call, fall, tall, talk, fork, border, ball, gall,  jaw, pork, water,  sword,  naughty,  four,  forty, awesome, court, port,  broadcast,  thought,  fought,  caught,  slaughter,  saunter  

Okay,  you can check out my older videos on learning British accent at 12 words Nigerians utterly mispronounce.

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...

Here are the universal conventional English collocations for Nigerian English's  'Talk more of' and 'Talk less of',  #LetAlone 'Let alone' is  used to indicate that something is far less likely or suitable than something else already mentioned.
