Hi guys. In this video I'm going to show you how to pronounce the letters of the
alphabet in both British and American English. Most of them are actually the
same (yay!), but three of them are pronounced differently. This is normally
something you learn as a beginner, but even advanced English learners sometimes
make mistakes when they have to spell words in English, so revision is always good.
I'll also give you the phonetic symbols for each letter.
Let's get started.
(saying letters)
In British English this one is: O. O.
In American English it's: O. O.
So the mouth is a bit more open in American English.
(saying letters)
In British English this one is: R. R.
In American English it's: R. R.
In British English when we say the alphabet, we actually say it more
like in American English. We pronounce that "rr" sound. Q R S. Q R S. That's
because S starts with a vowel sound (eh). Q R S. But if we say the letter by itself,
or if it's before a consonant sound, we say: R. R.
(saying letters)
And the final letter in British English is: Z. Z.
And in American English it's: Z. Z.
