Very well composed video, excellently informed and entertaining, as a dubliner😊
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrahLeila still does not know anything of the Welsh dialect or language 🏴
As a Dubliner I couldn't stop laughing. She's captured and dissected the accent so well that I thought she must be Irish. She's not. What an ear she has.
I like the Irish accent. It is pleasant to the ear.
Scottish accent is the worst lol
@@normundsplatkovs9749but I really love it. Life is surprising, isn’t it?
As a polyglot I'm really impressed with your easy and fluid transition from RP to Hiberno-English. Terrific. Cheers
wth is a polyglot
The “Great Vowel” shift circa 16-17 hundred which changed pronunciation of certain vowels in Britain did not affect Dublin accents which stayed pretty much as it always was . With “O” being pronounced “Ow” as for example “a owld” for old or “bowl” for bowl etc . For example people will say “oh he has an “owld” cold or flu … which does not refer to the “age “ of the illness but rather how common it may be !
That has helped me a lot for my Irish accent training. Thank you
You are so welcome! If it helped you please share it !
One of the best accent videos I’ve ever seen/heard.
Thank you so much!
So good - so accurate - perfect Dublin Accent
Tysm- i like knowing accents as a weird party trick- just decided to overcome my struggle with the Irish accents :)
The Donegal accent is wonderful 😍
It’s the vowel sounds which make the Irish accent different from any accents in Britain .
I love this! Very useful for breaking down some of the nuances of the accent.
Very interesting. Just to note that if you say in Ireland an Irish Speaker more or less everyone will take that to mean speaking the Irish Language, Gaeilge
I loved the video , Irish accent is the best indeed.. Father Ted and Msr Brown are fine examples to how entertaining and beautiful this accent..😄
Oh my God! I learned American English as a second language at home thanks to my family. They speak American English as well, and I swear Irish English sounds pretty similar to American accent
Great story, Sabrah! This accent is pretty understandable.
Thanks so much Sergiy! Nice to see your comment!
❤❤ woooow stunning ever said words. I'm thrilled with that
You are very good on doing the the irish accent
This is a really solid effort. Say this as a local. Well done.
Great to hear! Thank you!!
I need to do a self tape in a Dublin accent, going to try to get it done soon
Nicely made video. 😊 I was born in England but lived in Dublin from 12 to 23 years old and did pick up a bit of a Dublin accent. The one main feature you missed was the vowel in Come, Run Pub, Bus. You'd think it'd be the same as the north of England, but it's not as it has an /o/ feature in it. Although I now have my SSSB accent back again (35 years English teacher and accent coach in BCN later) I've found that when I say "yer wan" (that woman) I use that phoneme still. The lower the social class, the stronger the accent, and yes, we could tell which part of Dublin by their accent. Brave of you to take this on, and apart from the phoneme in words like "brought" and "work" that sound like the phoneme in "for", you more or less nailed it. Grand job altogether👍👏🤩💃
I'm Dublin born & bred - the "t" and "d" are declining rapidly. In fact, a highly Americanised form is now noticeable in the under 30s, especially in middle-income areas.
Your accent is excellent btw
That’s kind of sad, that’s my favorite part of the accent
Great video! 🤗 The way you do the accent is absolutely incredible! I'd have a question though, the aspirated t in words like "date" or "bite", how would you characterize it phonetically? Would it be the "slit-t" (a fricative t)? Or would it simply be the t^[h]? I am just curious because I definitely think that's a strong defining factor of the Irish accent!
Spot on.
I am interested in the difference between the northern/Belfast and the southern/Dublin accent. I know the placement of the "house" vowel is more forward in Belfast, but I'm not sure I've identified much more.
I find it amusing when British and Irish people say their accents are "sexy"
Well done. Most other people are rubbish at doing this. Compliments from a Dub!
Amn't I? was really impressive. :) I miss my irish teachers.
Thanks
Can u plz give tell me of one best Dictionary to learn RP ?
Esse video e muito bom
Great effort sabrah
Thank you!
Thank you so much God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
You are so welcome ! 💕
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah thank so much 🥰
The Dublin accent if practiced would sound Northern Irish. Fab vid by the way. Big hiya from Darlington.
In dublin we’ve got middle class and working class people , and there 2 completely different accents like Barry Keoghans very working class his accents different to Aidan Turner.
My husband Aidan is amazing hes so sexxy
Hi my lovely! :-) my ray of sunshine, my ears' delight, my very Rose of England 🌹😊
What a talent and what a great lesson Sabrah! You described the features so magnificently. It is true that it's a beautiful accent and I believe you when you say that it's considered to be the sexiest of English accents. In any case, as you say it, I'm totally smitten and under the spell, and, as far as I'm concerned,it reaches new heights of sensuality.
I don't think I've finished watching the video to taste it even more and soak it all in!
When I saw Brendan Gleeson, I told to myself: I know that guy and then he spoke of braveheart and I immedietly pictured Hamish
It's funny because I saw the film again very recently (for the tenth time probably ... and I still cried my eyes out at all the scenes with the beautiful Murron in particular ;-)
As a matter of fact, in response to your request, and even though I have little doubt so much you are good at accents, do you think you'd be able to tell us about the Scottish accent and its characteristics? ... You’d give me great pleasure!
Inutile de te dire à quel point j'ai adoré te retrouver et aimé la leçon ! Sans mentionner que tu es plus belle que jamais ! :-)
Merci infiniment Sabrah ! Au grand plaisir de te revoir très vite ! 🙏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! Je T'M, bisous bisous 😘🌹❤❤❤💞

Thank you so much for the lovely comment. I am so pleased you liked the video! Yes Scottish is definitely next on my list!
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah
Fantastic! Merci Sabrah ! 👍💞
Oooh! Irish, I love it ❤
Can you do Manchester. Lived here 40yrs and I still can't do their accent. Belfast, Liverpool, Brum no problem but could never pass for a manc.
Thing is i can't pronounce "r" as well because Rhotacism and if i try hard it results in an irish accent!
So as a romanian is win win!
Southern Irish means Cork. It's Republic of Ireland.
that’s exactly what I thought
🥱
It’s just “Ireland”. Republic of Ireland is a descriptor. The official name of the country is Ireland. As lodged by the state with the United Nations.
When you said Aidan Turner i literally screamed Yessss 😱 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I Love my husband
Great video, Sabrah! Accents are so captivating. I'd like some Scottish accent, if possible. Btw, the Pachira Aquatica at the back looks awesome. It's said to bring good energy and fortune to the home. Regards!!
Thank you yes I can do Scottish next 👍
You both are Doing great in aspect of learning English. If i wanna send a business query so where to send or would you like to listen about a great business suspect?
🙏
East Midlands. Thank you ❤
As a Dubliner myself, I have to say you have captured the accent superbly. Although, as you say yourself, there are many Dublin accents. If I met you, I'd guess northside inner suburbs somewhere. Comfortable but not posh. You're very consistent so would fool me completely.
One comment on the issue of "th" being changed to "t" or "d". I think there's an "in-between" sound that comes from the Irish language. If you meet a native speaker of Irish, ask them to say "Dúirt mé" which means "I said". The soft D at the start is what many of us use instead of "th".
Thanks so much for this interesting and insightful comment! I really appreciate it and I will definitely try the phrase you suggested. Thank you! 👍
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah If you’re looking for a native speaker of Irish, they’re still to be found in Kilburn and Camden. A few years ago, in the Irish speaking district of Connemara on the west coast, I got a local man to install a stove for me. He had spent most of his life in London and his habitual work attire was a Crossrail hi-viz waistcoat. He had the extremely strong brogue of an emigrant (the old brogue has died out a bit in Ireland) and to my shame I judged him for it. It was only when I heard him speak Irish to his assistant that I realised he had the most elegant Irish I had ever heard in the wild. Find someone like him to pronounce “dúirt mé” for you!
@@jamesgrace479 ‘…in the wild’. 🤣
The Dublin accent depends on class and north or south of the Liffey.
Speaking as a native Dub this is very good.
The one adjustment I would make is on point 4. This is the one feature people doing an Irish accent almost always get wrong to the extent that we have a term for it; stage Oirish. It is like an imitation of an imitation of an imitation of an imitation and quite divorced from the real thing.
If you want your Irish voice to sound authentic do not lean in to this feature as much as others do. I wish I could give better direction that that; the I sound is different but it is not as close to "oy" as many think.
Thanks so much for this feedback ! It is super helpful! 👍
Well said.
You do a very convincing Dublin accent. Best not to refer to ‘Southern Ireland’ though! That’s Cork or Kerry.
There are a few variations in the working-class Dublin accent, depending on which part of the city you’re from. Then you have the posh middle class accent in the leafy suburbs, particularly in the south of the city. That tends more towards the English accent.
Many younger people nowadays speak with an American or mid-Atlantic accent. It’s nearly impossible to tell if they’re Irish. That’s down to the Americanisation of the country.
I love your own English accent.
You, I think, missed out on the t at the end of a word tending towards an sh sound, so right tends towards roysh (not quite but nearly)
Ahh interesting! Yes I had heard about it. Thank you!
Hi my teacher
You could easily pass as a Dubliner.
Gets lost anywhere west of Maynooth?
Dear Madam Teacher Sabrah,many thanks for next great,brilliant lesson (of course - like always).Btw - I've heard, that people in Ireland speak Irish language too (absolutely different from English - probably,similar like a Celtic,Gaelic language?). Kind of ancient language? Thanks a lot again and have a beautiful day.
Yes they speak Gaelic. Thanks for your comment! Glad you liked the video!
Maybe it’s just me, but I always found similarities between Irish accent and American, probably because the massive amount of Irish immigrants in the US influenced the accent there. Is that possible?
Bit of fun. Actors tend to soften things when talking on American interviews. I’ve loads of dub friends. More on the north side and the city centre there’s more of a nasal o sound with words like “don’t, going, know.”
I tends to sound like something between auy and oy.
There’s a subtle pattern in sentences that has a bit of “ah jeez here we go again”
Auy daownt knaow heww ta dew diss 😂 Bote den a gann Auymm joost a yank.
If you’re ever at a loss just inhale sharply whilst saying “yea.”🤣
Hi, Sabrah
Appreciate your efforts👏👏.
Thank you,
Thanks so much Manish!
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah you're welcome
Scottish accent next, please!
I'm Thai but someone said on my live stream chat that my accent sounds Irish. So i am here to check and see 😂
I like the way Irish people say beggora or beggabers every other word, wear wellies all the time and green clothes and fit right in, top of the morning to you!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 And this is all in between us hunting for leprechauns.
Sabra, today's lesson is very impressive and I have to repeat the video, but it is very interesting.. You do not know the amount of happiness and hope when I see a lesson from you.. You are a source of joy to me.. Today is our first day of Ramadan and I pray to God to open your heart to Islam and grant you Paradise, as well as Laila.. Grateful To you..Today will be a decisive match for the Saudi Al-Nasr Club, led by Ronaldo, and we won. Can you congratulate me in the next video, my wonderful teacher?❤🥺 Nada from Saudi Arabia
Oh great news! Well done ! I am so glad you love the videos! Thank you for your kind comment ! 💕
In Ireland we refer to the North and the South. We don't use Northern or Southern Ireland. Indeed we'd say the South of England but not Southern England. It just a "ting" we have.
Apart from that, very good indeed.
We don't put an extra r in between two words, which English people do to sound posh!
When i go to the uk i do a standard south of the uk accent to ask directions, complain, make small talk 😂😂
So mant Irish accent impressions are terrible. This was spot on!
Cockney rhyming accent next, please :)
You'd wonder I'm sure why a fella from Alabama USA be'd chimin in.. but I'm married to a Belfast girl. So here ya wanna have a go at that one? Obv I love it (matter of fact don't really hear it after all these years) but.. it's a unique accent
It is so difficult. One of the hardest accents to imitate but I might give it a try. Better get practising!
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah do yer worst, Ill try and give ye good stuff, spose I'm mostly numb to now. Here's a funny.. our wee son 10 can flip back n forth accents.. for her mummy wanna go "daintian".. and for me dad wanna go downtown ;)
Oh dear,, as you said accent is so nice and sweet, but I had a terrible experience with an Irish bloke at a pub in Australia when I was studying there.. The incident goes like this, I was just sitting over at the corner of this pub and this macho looking irish bloke came and struck a conversation with me immediately ... So, he started speaking so fast that I didn't understand a word of what he was saying and the worst thing was not only his accent but the music and the peoples loud voice made matters worst for us to have a decent conversation and he just went on and on and spoke to me like 5 minutes and since I didn't respond anything to him, what he did was like he grabbed by my collar and took me outside and he just said angrily, dude I have been asking you all this time, what was your name and where you were from and that's all that I have been asking you for the past 10 minutes 😂😂 and the moment he said this that I couldn't stop laughing for the next 10 minutes and that's Irish and they are absolutely fun loving people.. 😂❤🤩🤩
That's my little story on Irish, wish you have a good day and see you later my dear.. 🙏
Hugs.xoxoxo
Gams ❤️
Oh my goodness! It can be hard to understand! I can imagine this could happen! 😂 haha good story! Xx
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah 😂😂❤️❤️😍🤩🤭
It is called the Republic. The most northern county is Donegal which is the 'south'
How they pronunce letter or water with glotal t or with american d
And how they pronunce
Out of here
Write it here
Like american d or glotal t
Thank you for this lesson!
However, I must say the way the example words appear in the video - unsyncronsied with your speech and dissappearing before you finish - is a lil inconvenient for practice.
clever girl
There are 2 to 5 different accents within Dublin city🎉
Can you give more details about them?
The 6 main accents in Dublin would be North Dublin suburbs, North Dublin City, Inner City, West Dublin, South Dublin and finally South Dublin suburbs.
They are mostly attached to whether the area is working class, middle class or what is know as "West British" upper middle class areas.
@@fishnaldo A good description.
Can you do Texan?
I could give it a try!
@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah thank you! Looking forward to the Texan Accent episode! 🤠
The only example I disagree with was Aisling Bea she has a very strong Kildare accent(Midlands)
Irish accent is grand
This video features mostly a South Dublin accent. North Dublin is fundamentally different!
Bono
I'm interested why you say 'British' as opposed to 'English' when referring to the accent.
Surely it's more accurate to distinguish the accents by the individual countries in Britain.
My natural accent and the accent of a lot of people in the South is still referred to as the Standard Southern British accent. It is a linguistic term actually that you will hear any phonics teacher at the moment using. I agree it is essentially an English accent but I think British accents still have many similar base sounds even if you have a Welsh accent, Scottish etc, Southern British etc That may be why. The accents from the Republic of Ireland however are not British they are Irish and I hope I have made that very clear in the video.
WHATTTTT!
I feel like the only really effective way to learn such an accent is to listen to people speakin it over and over again.
Reuben, get out of dat Bleeding Rose bed , or I'll swing for you...that's Dublin.
😂😂
Is this lady from Liverpool?
Yes I am from there originally.
The midwestern American accent
I knew it was English, but I couldn’t understand a word in Ireland n Scotland.
Anyone else here so they can hear how Johnny Kavanagh from Binding 13 talks ahahah
💘🥂🧸
Theres something youre doing wrong with that "i" sound like when you say "i fancy a light bite" i think youre leaning too into that "oy" sound it makes it sound a little bit fake to me as a Dub idk its hard to put my finger on
Oh thanks for the feedback - I would love to know what it is!
I dont know what it is, but the moment an attractive women speaks in a legitimate Irish accent, I want to propose.
You sound like Mrs Doyle.
I wonna know everythin' about Craigavon accent.
There seems to be two distinct Dublin accents
Can you explain a bit more ?
Der wur tree hundred and turty tree and wun turd treez over dare.

The Dublin accent always makes the speaker sound like a drug dealer... 😂
Whale…Oil… Beef…Hooked.
Now a days in. England One pound in India one hundred rupees equal
Irish sounds more like USA English than Oxford English
From midwest american, Irish is easier than RP.
For me as a Polish it is above my mind. Won't give it a try.I'll stick to RP.
Whale
Oil
Beef
Hooked
Congrats, you just learned how to speak Irish
What is hornyyyyy means
The Irish R is closer to the American accent than the English one.
