We are joined by our first special guest, the eponymous founder of Pronunciation with Emma, a pronunciation expert and linguist, to unpack the history, politics, and social perceptions of accents in the UK and beyond.We discuss:Why one accent dominated British media for decades;How your accent can still affect your job prospects in 2025;The myth of "the" British accent — and how Americans (and Hollywood) often get it wrong;Emma’s favourite accent (spoiler: it’s not British!);What happens when learners want to sound like the Queen; andWhy pronunciation and accent aren't the same thing.👂 Ideal for advanced English learners interested in real-life language issues, identity, and communication.🌍 Plus, Emma shares insights from her own journey as a Yorkshire-born pronunciation coach living in Spain.👋 Connect with Emma: www.pronunciationwithemma.com🔎 YouTube & Instagram: Pronunciation with Emma🎙 Podcast: Pronunciation with Emma Podcast📖 Want to improve your English even more?
