Hi everyone,
I am now learning British English. As an ESL learner, I find it really hard to differentiate various British accents. I have 2 audiobooks here, both of which should be in British accent, but I cannot tell whether both of them are RP or not. I would appreciated it a lot if you would tell me what you think about their accents and which one you would suggest to me for some shadowing to improve my accent.
The first one is read by the celebrity, Stephen Fry:
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Epilogue Read By Stephen Fry | Mix - YouTube
Here is the second one by another British reader:
China and the Chinese (1 of 3) (audiobook) - YouTube
Thank you very much!
