The British pronunciation sounds you'll master
A convincing British accent comes down to a few key sounds. Accent Lab trains each one with real sentences and listens for them every time you speak.
The rounded short O
Words like hot, lot and pot are short and rounded, one of the clearest signs of a British accent.
The silent R
British English is non-rhotic: the R in car, water and better isn't pronounced unless a vowel follows.
Crisp T sounds
RP keeps a clear T in water, better and little instead of softening it to a D.
The schwa
The most common sound in English. Getting unstressed syllables right in about and banana fixes your rhythm.
The posh "go" vowel
RP starts go, home and know from a central position, giving that distinctly posh British accent.

Which British accent does Accent Lab teach?
Accent Lab teaches Received Pronunciation (RP), the standard British accent often called BBC English, the Queen's English or simply a posh accent. It is the accent most learners mean when they say they want a British or English accent, and it is understood everywhere in the UK.
How do you do a British accent?
Start with the four sounds that make the biggest difference: drop the R after vowels (car = cah), use a long ah in words like bath and can't, round the short O in hot and lot, and keep T crisp in water and better. Then practise whole sentences out loud and get feedback, because rhythm and intonation matter as much as single sounds.
Can you really learn a British accent with an app?
Yes, if you practise out loud and get feedback. Accent Lab lets you hear a native British model, record yourself, and see an accent score with word-by-word notes on which sounds to fix, so every practice session moves you closer to a natural British accent.
How long does it take to learn a British accent?
Most learners hear a clear difference within a few weeks of short daily practice. The biggest early wins come from a handful of sounds: the long bath vowel, dropping the R after vowels, the rounded short O and the schwa. A full, consistent RP accent takes months of regular speaking.
Is there a British accent test?
Yes. Our free British accent test tells you which British accent your speech is closest to, from RP to Northern, Scottish or Welsh. To test how British your actual voice sounds, Accent Lab scores your pronunciation, rhythm and intonation every time you speak.
