Hello, my name is Anpu and welcome to my YouTube channel and today
I wanted to you know introduce the Indian accent to you, and I am very well aware that there is a
big variety of
Indian accents, and not just Indian there is a Sri Lankan, Pakistani, and you know all over a South asia,
there is different accent, but I want to to introduce to you the South Indian accent. You know
I am very interested in accents
And I you know if you ever interested in learning the Indian accent and perhaps you have a you know at acting role
Where you have to learn Indian accent this video will cover the basics of the Indian accent
So without further ado let's get straight into this video
Let's just address the elephant in the room
You were clearly judging me on my Indian accent weren't you?
You know I'm also passionate about like you know identity and racism, but that is not the topic of today's discussion
Today's discussion is about the Indian accent and if you follow as few simple steps and a few simple rules
You'll be able to master the Indian accent. You know really easily
Let's start off with the t sound so the t sounds something like this
[tur]
[tur] not [t]... [tur] ... so your tongue is actually further back in your mouth
so for example if you want to say the word 'but', in the Indian accent it's 'but'
'But'...okay, so not 'but'... 'but'... so let's try
dot
It's not dot it's not
Okay, so I'm really exaggerating the t here
so try and practice that sound yeah, and
Then [tone] it down a little bit so dot yeah it
It it
It so in the sentence don't try it becomes don't try it
don't
Try it
so once you've practiced that the next sound practice is the L sound so
Let's take the word table for example
When we say the word table, we don't actually pronounce the L in table
You've got the t sound which we talked about earlier and this L sound so practice to start not teh
t and
Then it becomes
Peru
Peru
not table table
So can you put the you know groceries on the table?
please the next sound is the w sound so British people will pronounce w as work and
