RECOMMENDED FILMS & TV SERIES

Don’t forget to be critical when watching those films and TV series, since the accent is only close to RP at best (many feature - mild to heavy - regional accents). What you might want to take away from watching are:

• intonation• stress• pitch• fortis aspiration

• lenis voicing• schwa and use of weak forms• vowel length• (maybe even the one or other glottal

stop or assimilation...) etc.
