Do you want to improve your pronunciation? I have launched my British English (Modern RP) pronunciation course! I’ll train you to read phonetic transcriptions, and produce each sound that comprises modern received pronunciation. I’ll also teach you how to implement the correct use of intonation, stress, rhythm, connected speech, and much more. We’ll compare similar sounds, and look at tricky topics like the glottal stop and the dark L.
Technically, I need to mark this as an AD even though it is my own company so - AD :)

  • I wish I could sound like Lucy when I talk. She has such a pretty accent.
  • "It doesn't tickle my Fancy". Really like this one, it sounds polite and Fancy at the same time.
  • Not sure if it's just and east coast Canadian saying but "It doesn't float my boat" is one I've used many times. Haven't heard anyone use it since moving to Toronto.
  • @adamquark7515
    Honestly, "I am sick of" doesnt seem to me a verry polite way of saying "I dont like it" XD
  • You know what Lucy? I used to watch your video when I just arrived here in the UK and I learnt quite a lot from you which I appreciated very much. And now I’ve lived here for almost two years and half. The thing is I’m addicted to your videos, I can’t resist from watching it. You doing absolutely cracking job and keep it up. Imagine if you have to go somewhere else outside the UK for holiday or for work, you would be back with a pale of presents from those people you have helped a lot. Have you ever received a present from random person???

    "It sucks" "No way, José" "Yuck!" "It doesn't rock my boat" "I'd rather die"
  • @hidden4valle
    I admire you for the intellectually stimulating content and wonderful personality. Beautiful and brilliant. Thank you Lucy

    “Im not a fan of” i use it frequently
  • @bangtannim_
    Please, give me a heart so I can understand my sentences are right.↓ 1. I don't appreciate the way our Science teacher teaches. 2. I'm not a big fan of K-Pop. 3. Thanks but I'm not fond of cold drinks. 4. I can't bear the people who snore. 5. I think dancing is not for me.

    Beautiful British English. Thanks Lucy... Happy New year! (Belated)

    My homework: Coffee is not my cup of tea. Football doesn't tickle my fancy. I'm not fond of winter sports. I was not so keen on dogs when I was younger. Winter is not my thing.
  • Thank you Lucy for these Polite Words to say I Don't Like. Iove learning them very much from you
  • @KHachi-oo4xm
    Thank you for the lesson. These expressions are soft and considerate. I should absorb them.
