Hi everyone!
In this video, we will practise the British English pronunciation of words relating to
different jobs or professions.
I will say each word twice, first slowly and then at normal speed.
I will also say a sentence using each word.
Try repeating everything after me to practise the pronunciation.

When talking about your profession, you can provide more information by using the structure:
“I work as a [profession] for…”.
For example, “I work as a lawyer for a technology company.”
Or, “I work as a teacher in a secondary school, where I teach English.”
Or, “I work as a chef for a restaurant in London.”
Great, listen again to this video and try repeating the words after me to practise the
pronunciation.
