These accents are relatively soft....years back they would have been much broader.

Why is it none of these English speakers can do a cockney accent?

Southern British accent sounds so cute ❤❤

These accents are a dying language, soon never to be heard 😢

How about the posher north London accents? People from Hampstead/Primrose Hill/Highgate etc don’t sound like they’re from Essex but the accent isn’t quite RP sounding like West London. I have this accent but have never been able to pinpoint it

so the bo' oh' u wo' er was true!

And my Boston accent was born ❤️

I was born and bought up in East London but dont fit nicely into any of those accents, I certainly dont have cockney but also not RP. I feel like East London has its own new accent, which no one mentions its probably MLE and abit of RP, lets just call it MLERP. 😅 Where is so diverse, and I do two jobs, one where people speak with RP and also work for West Ham FC where most people speak Cockney, also most the maintenance workers and market workers have been cockney, but also alot of asian and africans in East London but where I done a law degree I was encourged to pronounce things properly, so its almost like every setting has a differnt London accent for me, so I probably have a combination of many accents of London, rather than just one.

I feel like Billie Piper is Estuary. Can't see much difference between SSB and Estuary

I loved this! I was born within the sound of Bow Bells (cockney, grew up in Middlesex (Greater London - West) and speak RP. It's the first time I have heard the explanation for me saying 'BARTH' or 'CARSTLE'. Thanks for that!

😊

Thanks. I'm waiting for your video regarding Southern English please.

Someone put together a sequence of clips for TV, with Jagger using a different accent in each. So, for example, there was a posh clip, then cockney, southern states American and so on.

Thanks for explaining. Georgia, U.S. 😂 We do so love listening to and viewing Gerald. He's delightful. Being southern, there've been times when I've had to spell certain words when speaking to Northerners. One example is saying towel but having it be mistaken for tile.😅

Oi!!!! Don't forget Dick Van Dyke.......

Hello Sir! I am the one who is looking for a native speaker of London, England, who generally speaks English with Standard British accent or Modern RP accent. I am Indian. I generally speak English with a Standard British accent. But I don't know how I sound like, whether my accent is right or not. Therefore, I am looking for someone who can assess my accent and confirm whether my accent is accurate or not. I want someone to tell me if my accent is really British Modern RP or not, just by listening to my audio.

Thank you! ❤

I went to London for the first time in 2022. I didn't have any problem to understand the English. However, when I was on the underground or in the streets, I heard some people speaking in Cockney accent I think. This one is harder to make out haha!

Dear Jon, I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say that I think your videos and your explanations are great! I'm gradually learning to pronounce things in a way that's more "British" than what we were taught at school in Germany. I find it frustrating that when we were students, we could choose to speak and write in either BE or AE. As a result, we ended up orientating ourselves more towards AE. I wish I could really manage to sound like a Brit, but unfortunately I can't eliminate the accent of my German mother tongue. I think we Germans who don't live among native English speakers are doomed to forever carry this stigma when speaking English. But with the help of your videos I'm on the right track! Thanks a lot!

❤ good video. Could you please provide us some videos for Southern English and which will be long videos. Thanks

I’m from west London ❤ Thank you for this vid❤

hey there is this movie where there are 4 lads and they are into crimes like hitting people. One day their leader gets caught. He gets worked on by the scientists and an approach to cure his behaviour. so they make the leader watch certain empathy generating video I guess. they induce fake tears in his eyes while making him watch the videos. then he is set free. later on even the thought of crime would make him feel sick and nauseated. people discuss how it was unethical to fix his nature by giving him symptoms that would suppress his nature. I couldn't find the movie name in this video but the movie delivers cockney slangs. I've found a keyword here British gangster movies !!!! I'm gonna go find.....

Love American accent and London accent

It's kee no ah in Spain. Given it's a South American word, I'll stick to the Spanish pronunciation

Hearing everyone with this "MLE" accent no matter what region of the UK they are in and no matter their cultural background is beyond cringe. This is how young black men used to talk in the early 2000s, no other races... and the speech was all derived from Patois, Jamaican broken English. Everyone else from every other culture are culturally appropriating to the point this is now called "MLE" and they will never admit it's simply influenced by Patois because they're all BEGS.

MJ and the rolling stones is a highly successful corporate brand, similar to say Disney, Unilever or Apple. He's maintained, honed and adjusted the image to maximise appeal to the many time periods during which it has operated. Changing accents is just a small but necessary part of marketing (and why not?). All credit to MJ and his team.

Do Brits ever decide to change the pronunciation of a word because Americans say it better?

I disagree with your statement that Mick Jagger's changing accent is calculated. This is an utterly commonplace and well studied linguistic phenomenon that is known as code-switching. People who live and work with people from different social backgrounds will unconsciously change their accent to feel more comfortable with the person they are speaking to. It is not an affectation, on the contrary an indication of natural linguistic ability.

South London has a touch of west country about it.

So! nicd😊 you Nice guy

The Who came from Surrey too!

Brilliant. you're nice

In Manchester, almost everyone under the age of about 35 does the th-fronting thing. It irritates me. I was talking to someone in Manchester yesterday who had a well-spoken southern English accent, like he was from Oxford or Bath or somewhere (who knows) and even he was doing it. I refuse to do it.

I don't know what part of London your visiting. The London i hear, speaks more African and Arabic then any cockney Ive heard.

He did a fake accent to compete with the Beatles regional accents.

Is this Hampshire English or accent, please?

D and T is interchangeable like old spellings of Deutchland is spelt Teutchland. Same as low german Dag instead of Tag (day)

Its pronounced Brigh -Ton no it isnt we dont say the T like other old southern accents.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also tomorrow is Wednesday is my younger brother birthday ❤😊

That "year" sounds just like "Jahr" in German, which means year. Reminds me of the Crown actors learning to say a German-sounding "Haus" instead of "house" fro "Clarence House".
