How do posh people speak? Learn about language and social class in England
How do posh people talk? This lesson is all about posh people in England! How do they talk? What kind of jobs do they have? What kind of lives do they live? I will explain what it means to speak and act like a posh English person in terms of social class and family background. I will also give you some examples of British actors, such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley who, in most of their films, play the parts of posh people. You will also learn about Nancy Mitford’s “U” and “Non-U” language. She was an English journalist and novelist who wrote about posh people in the 1950s. Though society is always changing, awareness of class and the language associated with class is still very important in England, so if you’re studying English or just interested in English culture, watch this video.

Change your life by changing how you speak

In this lesson, I will show you how the language we use is a reflection of our deeper psychology.

A surprising thing about British town names is they are often pronounced differently than they are written. For example, the name “Tottenham” is actually pronounced phonetically like “tot-nam”, which is only two syllables compared to the three syllables in its written form. Depending on where you are in Britain, you may even hear different variations in pronunciation. So how can you know how to...

    Shrowsbri reminds me of the strange spelling of the word _show_ I've seen many times: _shew_ . I don't know if it's posh or local or what.

    Hello, and thank you very much for a most interesting explanation. I was just wondering whether the pronunciation for "bury" should be likened to that of "Bree", as found in "The Lord Of The Rings"... Moreover, I remember being taught (that was many years ago) by an English teacher that "bury" should be pronounced a bit like "berry". And the end of the Beatles song "Strawberry Fields Forever" has some spoken words saying "I buried Paul", which sound like "berried". Therefore... who's right here, then?!
