RP is a British English accent often referred to as ‘neutral’ or ‘BBC’. Like any accent, it is formed of a particular group of sounds, intonation and joining rules which are clearly distinguishable from other accents. These can be taught and learnt in order to produce RP in everyday speech.
Most people who learn RP do so in order to be able to communicate more clearly in professional or social situations, or for stage reasons. One of the key advantages of speaking in RP in certain situations is that most listeners’ ears will hear it clearly, which may not be the case with strong regional or foreign English accents.
