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.
The Irish were forced to speak English. When they did, they spoke it using the rules of the Irish language. Irish has no TH sound and that's why the Irish say TREE instead of THREE and an S is pronounced SH, as in Sinead. Even when speaking English, you'll hear people say, "I'm from the wesht of Ireland".
Yes, in phonetics and phonology this is called a phonotactic constraint. It's the reason why English speakers have no problem making that 'ng' sound at the end of 'walking', but our brains short out when we try to put that same sound at the beginning of a word, like with the Vietnamese last name Nguyen
Having been to this beautiful country last year, I instantly fell in love with this Irish way to speak English. It meets the most with the way I speak English myself as a German, inhaling English spelling and pronouncing everywhere I have traveled to, so far. A mixture of British, American, and some other ingredients. I felt kind of "home", lingually, if I may say so
As a German, I find it amazing how the Irish accent (or a variant of it) is explained to me here, it is all very understandable and easy to follow. I kept wondering how many of these subtleties an average Southern British speaker would pick up without such great instruction? In Germany, most people would have a hard time imitating another German accent or dialect in a truly authentic way. Great job!
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".
@@LoveEnglishUK 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!
@@LoveEnglishUK If you’re ever expanding your Irish accents beyond Dublin, I’d recommend researching the softer Irish “th”. A lot of Irish people aren’t consciously aware of it, but we can almost always differentiate “th”, “t” and “d” words in most of our accents. “Then”, “den” and “ten” or “thin”, “tin” and “din” will always sound different as some examples. So if the sounds become too interchangeable the Irish accent impression can sound a bit “off” even if the Irish person doesn’t understand why. There’s a youtube video by K Klein about it that could be helpful.
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
This lady has perfect pitch. She is hitting every corner of my accent.❤😂 Exactly falf way through she Became Irish. Whatever she is, she is wingman Quality.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
Great content Sabrah and very accurate. I would love to have your linguistic knowledge and the ability to impart it. I spent a few nights in a hotel near Bristol recently and I honestly think they gave me room 33 on purpose just to hear the non pronunciation of my tee haches 😂. It was some craic to see the reception staff stifling a laugh whenever I asked for my key. Not directly linked to accents but one very important thing to remember about how we speak English in Ireland is the influence of the Irish language. Not sure if you've heard the term Hiberno - English but that's basically what we speak in Ireland. It's something I find is often overlooked when people are trying to coach the Irish accent. We have so many terms directly translated from our native language to English. For instance, just to mention two, but there are thousands of others, we would have terms like "I'm just after having my breakfast " or "I have an awful thirst on me". These are direct translations from the Irish language. Without getting too technical, stuff is on you in the Irish language. In England I would wager that those two phrases would be "I've just had my breakfast " and " I'm awfully thirsty". Keep up the good work. Beir bua agus beannacht.
Loved this so much! Thank you! The points about the phrases are very interesting thank you. I would like to learn more about the influence of Hiberno-English on the way you speak today in terms of the phrases. Thank you 😊
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? ...

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
I've been outside Ireland for 8 years now but in Galway we commonly used the d/t in place of the th. I didn't notice it until I came to the US and put a little effort into blending in. Mum and nana grew up in Kerry; my father was from Dublin, but he went to school in Canada and he brought some of that back with him. I'm not sure I'd be able to point out a Dublin accent if I heard it.
what about barry keoghan? where is his accent from? i know nothing about accents but after watching him along other irish actors he definitely sounds different, and i can't find an answer as to why anywhere
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.
3:00 this T or D sound instead of Th is still very much alive in the northside of Dublin, especially in the young people 4:15 as for this, this is heavily associated with the south side of dublin, in the Northside, the T in the middle of a word is a lot of the time just dropped completely, so date would just be dae, butter is 'bu-er', water is 'wuh-er'
I love westlife since i was 12 when their hit song 'my love' came out.. They're from dublin n sligo.. My first literature book was "potato people" also about irish people which i learnt when i was 13. I wish to go to ireland someday❤
Did I look up a video on how a Dublin accent sounds because I am reading a book that takes place there, and I wanted it to sound in my head? Yes. Did I also learn that I have been imitating it wrong my whole life? Also, yes. But I learned how to do something specific, which is always nicer than doing a blanket Northern/Southern accent. Also, the main female character in my book will now sound like Soirse Ronan.
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!!
This was a compellingly interesting video and it was absolutely hilarious to hear you trading your usual dulcet tones for working-class Dublinese. One little inaccuracy which I detected: you need to pronounce "nice" as "noyse" in working-class Dublinese as in @08:40. Otherwise you absolutely nailed it. It would be interesting to hear your take on the middle to upper class Dublin accent in a follow-up video.
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👍👏🤩💃
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.
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?
i used to date an irish person and when i visited i was so confused at how different everyone sounded even when they came from the same village. some sounded like americans to me while some i didnt understand what they say at all😭 english is not my first language and when i first landed in dublin it's like i was tongue tied, all the english i knew vanished from my body.
Hey there nobody has asked for her to do a accent! So far I have seen it pulled.off.once.in my life.time. a west Australian.accent/ or a northern Queensland accent( the most.iconic one which is the most.authentic Australian accent we have. As an extra challenge I'd like to hear your direction of the language and apply it to our colloquialisms.correctly. thankyou your awesome. I have Irish parents but grew up in australia so I've always wanted to get the accent right so I could get the nod from da
The best thing i reckon you could find on the net would be the show ' hey hey its saturday'. The true Aussies accent has been largely lost, but every now and then you'll hear a 60+ construction worker nail a 5 a minute conversation with 10 colloquialism/idioms(without missing a beat)15 varieties.of the word fuck( very important as it makes up 50 percent of all.sentences) . The other quality.resource.would be to listen to any Australian rules football commentator from the 80's through to the late 90's, or any person who uses.rhe word 'ta' or 'garn'. I'm.giving away national secrets right now but your videos are great. Ok bye
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? 🙏
Terrific video, but I have one comment: I think "about" in Dublin is often pronounced more "abayout". Check out Johnny Murphy from The Commitments as an example. The short "out" seems to be more common outside Dublin.
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.
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.
Can anybody tell where I can. Learn Irish accent better. I am from India and very much interested to learn Irish accent 😊.. this videos is also useful for me..❤
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
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.
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

Serene accent to hear Irish
You have to specify which Irish accent though. Northern Irish (Belfast) accent is quite different from Southern (Dublin) accent.
@@normundsplatkovs9749 Are we ever so slightly off-topic here ?
Haha I’m a Dubliner and you’ve nailed it. Very interesting to see the technical reasons why we sound like that.
Irish people. The most gentle people I ever knew. They are so nice and polite. Good hearted people.
Conor McGregor, the Kinahans, The McDonagh Kelly Nevin Ward McGinley Travellers...lovely gentle people...
Living in Ireland may change that opinion.
@@daniel11111 It did.

Wow I never knew that about "Wehsterners"..I just thought they were primative, ignorant, gombeens...!!!
Yes, in phonetics and phonology this is called a phonotactic constraint. It's the reason why English speakers have no problem making that 'ng' sound at the end of 'walking', but our brains short out when we try to put that same sound at the beginning of a word, like with the Vietnamese last name Nguyen
Are they of you guys part Irish?
"Even when speaking English". And what other language do they speak in Ireland ? Please don't answer Irish. Lived there all my life.

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👍👏🤩💃
Am watching from Zambia 🇿🇲 in Africa 🌍
Southern Ireland 😂😂😂😂 I love how it's only the British who say this.
Can you suggest movies where this is clear and maybe I can learn more and get used to it before I go to Dublin in August? Thanks
Thank you so much God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
You are so welcome ! 💕
@@LoveEnglishUK thank so much 🥰
I need to do a self tape in a Dublin accent, going to try to get it done soon
If i'm not mistaken Irish similar to American one, like they pronounce the "R" sound
We don't put an extra r in between two words, which English people do to sound posh!
i can do southern british middlands scotland and mixture of irland along with an amazing indian accent and austalian
East Midlands. Thank you ❤
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?
i used to date an irish person and when i visited i was so confused at how different everyone sounded even when they came from the same village. some sounded like americans to me while some i didnt understand what they say at all😭 english is not my first language and when i first landed in dublin it's like i was tongue tied, all the english i knew vanished from my body.
Can u plz give tell me of one best Dictionary to learn RP ?
Very good , from a Dubliner
Hey there nobody has asked for her to do a accent! So far I have seen it pulled.off.once.in my life.time. a west Australian.accent/ or a northern Queensland accent( the most.iconic one which is the most.authentic Australian accent we have. As an extra challenge I'd like to hear your direction of the language and apply it to our colloquialisms.correctly. thankyou your awesome. I have Irish parents but grew up in australia so I've always wanted to get the accent right so I could get the nod from da
Will give it a go. It is on my list!
The best thing i reckon you could find on the net would be the show ' hey hey its saturday'. The true Aussies accent has been largely lost, but every now and then you'll hear a 60+ construction worker nail a 5 a minute conversation with 10 colloquialism/idioms(without missing a beat)15 varieties.of the word fuck( very important as it makes up 50 percent of all.sentences) . The other quality.resource.would be to listen to any Australian rules football commentator from the 80's through to the late 90's, or any person who uses.rhe word 'ta' or 'garn'. I'm.giving away national secrets right now but your videos are great. Ok bye
When you said Aidan Turner i literally screamed Yessss 😱 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I Love my husband
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?
🙏
Very thanks,fine,greetings,like.
Scottish accent next, please!
انا عربية وتعجبني جدا هذه اللهجة لذا انا ممتن لك على هذا الفيديو
Terrific video, but I have one comment: I think "about" in Dublin is often pronounced more "abayout". Check out Johnny Murphy from The Commitments as an example. The short "out" seems to be more common outside Dublin.
Thank you for this tip! Really helpful!
@@LoveEnglishUK Happy to help! :) Great vids.
Your Dublin accent in better than mine (I'm a Dub).
Wow thanks so much!
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.
❤❤ woooow stunning ever said words. I'm thrilled with that
Good stuff! 😊👍
Oooh! Irish, I love it ❤
Spot on.
Brilliant
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.
"Three" is "tree" mostly around Limerick.
Thanks
Great effort sabrah
Thank you!
Thanks a lot
So mant Irish accent impressions are terrible. This was spot on!
Can you do Texan?
I could give it a try!
@@LoveEnglishUK thank you! Looking forward to the Texan Accent episode! 🤠
Can anybody tell where I can. Learn Irish accent better. I am from India and very much interested to learn Irish accent
😊.. this videos is also useful for me..❤
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 ! 💕
The only example I disagree with was Aisling Bea she has a very strong Kildare accent(Midlands)
Dublin, a sexy accent😅, best irish joke ever
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.
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!
@@LoveEnglishUK 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 ;)
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.
