How to speak Briddish!


I've been watching a bunch of these videos that claim to teach Americans how to dpeak with a 'standard British dialect'. You know the one. It';s the one you'll hear no matter where you are in Britain!
They are all bloody hilarious. Here's a few:

Well, the only word she got anywhere close to how I pronounce was "process", but her usage examples were so American it cancelled out. Would love to see her trying to pass herself off as British. In fact, I could suggest a few pubs she might want to visit to try it out...
However, I am delighted to know there's a standard American dialect.
