East Midlands dialect part 3
Some of this is just "British English

" in an East Midlands accent. Please read my comment for an explanation (the character limit on posts stopped me).

I don't want to go to that restaurant. It is a little bit expensive.

She is rather attractive, isn't she.

    So, It is getting increasingly difficult to cite things as just East midlands dialect, so I will focus on pronunciation and a more "northern" informal way of speaking. By all means, learn standard English first, but learning a dialect can give your speech an informal and natural tone, allowing you to compartmentalise your informal English from your business English. Much like in Japanese, each dialect seeps into different areas. Think of how people in Mie share characteristics with both Nagoya and Kansai. Think how in each dialect, sometimes the same sentence can be used, but the intonation/accent is different. As such, some of these things are just "British English" with a more enunciated version for clarity, and an "East Midlands" Variant using informal English. Dialectal words are okay for informal conversation, but don't type contractions "wanna, yer, t', etc..."; It just makes you look a little thick.

    @Hassy I can't do an authentic standard accent at all, but I do try to speak more clearly. 😂

    私の母はイギリス英語が聞きやすいと言ってます、なぜなら、私の母はネットフリックスでイギリス英語とアメリカ英語の癖を少しだけ理解しています。My mother says that British English is easy to understand because my mother understands a little bit of British English and American English by Netflix.
