Hello. It's Jinger.

requested a video about Seventeen Joshua and
Vernon's English.
So, here you are.
There are so many K-Pop stars who can speak
English really well.
I only knew about the group name
Seventeen.
But while doing my research, I thought
Joshua and Vernon are freaking cute!
So I had fun doing research :D
Let's listen to Joshua first.
Jinger English
Joshua's voice and accent are very smooth.
His accent is
not particular.
It sounds pretty normal.
We call it
a 'standard accent'.
Literally
it means 'standard'.
News anchors and
people who record for textbooks
tend to have this accent.
Vernon is from New York.
When I listen to people from New York
I thought they have a stronger R sound.
They seem to be proud of the fact
that they are from New York.
They say
I'm from New York.
York always has a strong R sound.
Even though Vernon moved to Korea when he was 5
he is still a native speaker.
It's amazing.
Circumstances are very important.
When I was an English teacher in Korea
I got this question a lot from parents.
My children is studying English but
why don't they use English?
They wanted to know.
So I answered
Do you use English at home?
All of them answered
no.
Honestly if someone asks me
I know you speak English well.
So speak.
I would feel awkward.
I doubt that children who study English
will speak English when no one speaks
English around them.
That's not going to happen.
Some of my subscribers are
parents.
If you want your children to study English hard
do it together.
If they see you studying English
they might do it as well.
When you hear Joshua and Vernon's English
they are not significantly different.
But I know one thing about New York and
New Jersey area accent.
The phonetic notation that looks like a reverse C
it almost sounds like A.
You will see how
Vernon
pronounces 'song'.
Song sounds
almost like sahng.
I have been to the area and heard
a tour guide saying
Obviously, this is awesome.
Awesome sounded like ahsome to me.
So I said to my husband.
His accent is
different.
He said that it's common in the area.
When you hear
ahsome
it is awesome in some areas.
Accents
are different wherever you go.
Then which accent do I have to study?
You may feel confused.
Pick a native speaker who you want to sound like.
Listen and practice.
After a while
His(her) accent and
your accent will be
combined
and you get to have your own accent.
A lot of native speakers think
this kind of accent is charming.
A lot of people say they love my accent.
Because it's different.
I lived in
Korea,
Australia
and America.
So I have a mixed accent.
And it sounds unique.
My name is Jinger.
