  • I have made many mistakes in my  lifetime, but overlooking a huge ongoing  

  • issue that appears in many of my videos  is the biggest mistake that I have ever  

  • made, and that is accent discrimination. I was naive and I didn't realise that  

  • I was doing it, but after being called  out on it, and those people that have  

  • called me out on it had every right to  do so, I'm angry at myself and I'm angry  

  • at the way that I have been making  people feel. I don't feel personally  

  • attacked by those who called me out - so  don't give them any grief for doing so.

  • I really believe that they were doing  it for you, and I feel like they were  

  • doing it for the industry. The criticism  wasn't just aimed at me - it was aimed at  

  • me and the industry, and it was deserved. Until recently I was convinced that I  

  • was running a positive, family-friendlyunproblematic YouTube channel that was  

  • helping students from all over the world. But what I didn't take the time to think  

  • about was that I was making people feel  not good enough because of the way they  

  • speak. In a recent video I took 10 words  that are difficult to pronounce, words  

  • that can be used in a university orworkplace, and I told people that they  

  • should avoid mispronouncing these words  if they want to sound professional and  

  • intelligent. Words like intelligent, smartprofessional... they're all buzz words on  

  • YouTube and they tend to get a really  good response. But what I implied was  

  • that if people don't pronounce these  words the way an English dictionary  

  • says you should pronounce them in  received pronunciation, then you are not  

  • intelligent, you are not professional, and  you are not educated. I never intended to  

  • convey or spread that toxic message, but  I did convey it, and I need to apologise  

  • I am so sorry to everyone who felt  hurt by that video, and I'm so sorry  

  • to everyone who has been made to  feel unprofessional, uneducated, or stupid  

  • by any of my videos. That is not whatwanted or intended but it's clear that  

  • what I wanted and what I intended is not  enough. I have removed these videos and  

  • I'm reviewing the rest of my channel to  make sure that I don't push any of these  

  • prejudices. I love making catchy videos, but I do need to strike a better balance  

  • between making fun and engaging content, and providing thoughtful and responsible  

  • education. I'll also admit that I'm  finding it challenging to strike that  

  • balance between teaching pronunciation  and not dismissing regional accents. This  

  • is now my period of learning. I have  arranged conversations with some of  

  • the experts that have criticised me. I  want to learn and I want to improve and  

  • I want to use my platform for good. To  those who have criticised me - thank you.

  • You're trying to effect positive  change and I want to do that too.

I have made many mistakes in my  lifetime, but overlooking a huge ongoing
