Als u een niet-Engels sprekende acteur (of zanger) bent, wil u ongetwijfeld eerst focussen op een Amerikaans Engels (AE) of een Brits accent (BE). Misschien moet u beide accenten leren, maar u moet beginnen met het kunnen identificeren van de verschillende geluiden het in staat zijn om deze contrasterende geluiden te reproduceren. Bijvoorbeeld in As, Hs en Rs. Daarna kunt u in het door u gekozen accent duiken.
Enkele accentverschillen (AE vs BE) zijn:
- de middel en eind R klank (meestal niet uitgesproken in BE)
- de O klank in woorden als ‘shop’ en ‘lost’
- woorden als ‘caught’ en ‘court’ klinken hetzelfde in BE. In het Amerikaans Engels onderscheidt de klinkende R hen.
- de klinkers in de woorden ‘ferry’ en ‘fairy’ klinken hetzelfde in AE, maar anders in BE
- de A klank in ‘can’t’ is vlak en vrij gesloten in AE, terwijl het klinkt als een open “ah” in BE
- de woorden ‘pen’ en ‘pin’ zijn bijna niet van elkaar te onderscheiden in AE, maar de E in pen is duidelijk te horen in BE

I had a very good experience with The English Center! I had a bundle of private lessons with Rose and it was a great experience, we were mostly working on my pronunciation. A lot of topics were covered in a short period of time, Rose focused on gaps I had and helped me to improve fast. Lessons were not only useful but very fun as well.

Not only was my time at the English Centre very useful, it was also a great pleasure. Steph is a wonderful teacher who makes the effort to adjust the course to your personal needs and wishes. Besides, she speaks with this lovely sweet and melodious British accent which I alway so much admire and am aiming for myself!

I had a great experience with The English Center. It was super easy and quick to arrange the classes in the format I expected. I want to especially recommend my teacher - Rose. Her lessons are always fun while also structured and fit to purpose. I was really impressed how Rose picked up on my pronunciation missteps and helped to improve those in a fun and interactive way! Last but not least, Rose is an amazing person, she will keep you engaged on every level, pick up on the latest world developments, recommend a nice book or laugh about recent tv show you both happened to watch.
