0 Hmm. Ok. Well, here's how I say it:02br 00[ ɪʔ wʌz ɘ greʔ pʰɪɾi ðəʔ ðə ʧɹen wʌz leʔ æz ɪʔ mɛnʔ aɪ mɘɪʔ naʊ bi ɪn denʤɝ ɘv mɪsin maɪ ʧɹen ]02br 02br 00Now we just need to modify it to make it how it's said in British English.

  • Ok.
  • Well, here's how I say it:02br 00[ ɪʔ wʌz ɘ greʔ pʰɪɾi ðəʔ ðə ʧɹen wʌz leʔ æz ɪʔ mɛnʔ aɪ mɘɪʔ naʊ bi ɪn denʤɝ ɘv mɪsin maɪ ʧɹen ]02br 02br 00Now we just need to modify it to make it how it's said in British English.
  • Here's how I think the Queen would say it:02br 00[ ɪt wʌz ə gɹeɪt pɪtɪ ðɘt ðɘ ʧɹeɪn wʌz leɪt æz ɪt mɛnt aɪ maɪt naʊ bi ɪn denʤɘ ɹɘv mɪsɪŋ maɪ ʧɹeɪn ]02br 02br 00but you should probably wait for a British English speaker to respond, because I might have made some mistakes, because I can't speak Queen's English.

0 Here's how I'd say the first sentence if I put on a British accent:02br
00I must go to see my brother's new house.02br
00[ aɪ mʌst gɘʊ tə si maɪ bɹʌðɘz nju haʊs ]02br
02br
00Notice I would say "new" as "nyoo" rather than "noo", as you have it transcribed. (I did not mark in vowel length however)02br

0 Hello Marvin A, I am thankful for all your comments and I am taking them on board, the problem I am finding is that when we try to write the phonetic signs on the page all I am getting are letters and Squares in words (eg aɪ mʌst gɘʊ tə si maɪ bɹʌðɘz nju haʊs) which confuses me even more, Many Regards Richard 0-

0I’m a native British speaker.00 00I would tend to transcribe the same vowel in ‘train’ and ‘danger’ – [eı], and would also use this for [gɹ eıʔ] and [l eıʔ]; ‘missing’ would finish with [ŋ] unless you’re aiming for a strong London accent, and pity would have a [t ] rather than the American tap [ɾ].00 02br
