Is there anything different between Cockney and BBC pronunciation？
I want to know the difference between them and also what the received pronunciation is. Which is the Klaus（Joseph Morgan）in Vampire Diary pronounces?
Also I’d like to know is there anyone knowing cockney can talk to me by Skype or QQ since I will go to London in 3 months. I can teach you Chinese if you wished.

Answer

There are HUGE differences in pronunciation. HUGE.

Answer
