Hi I'm Gideon Thanks for stoppping by. On this channel I talk about the English language. Its history, its grammar, its pronunciation and I spent 5 years researching and writing a book about the history of idioms - out soon.

Video Description

RP also called Standard British English and Posh English or upper class, or public school English. and the Queen's English or Oxford English or BBC English. How do they compare? In this video we take a look at the history and compare the different pronunciations. We also look at the English of people who have been educated abroad such as Freddie Mercury.
