Your comment about arriving in Yorkshire and hearing an unrecognizable language. My son was a Spanish language student for years but then he spent a college semester with host family in western Venezuela. It was weeks before they could understand each other. By the end of summer he became the unofficial "translator" for other incoming students.
Literally, this is what I love about the yorkshire accent. The language becomes more efficient. Whey aye man! 😅
I'd love to hear some geordie
Geordie is a good shout! I will try and find someone who will come and talk to us about it!
Nice podcast ❤ I moved to the UK recently and I was really amazed by Yorkshire accent😭 it was fast and hard to understand but nice accent! Keep uploading podcasts like this please
Arctic Monkeys is one of my favourite British bands.
And honestly, trying to understand Alex Turner when he speaks at the interviews is real headache for me.
Greetings from Chile
very surprising how many languages lewis can speak
I want to move from Switzerland to Leeds next year, so that’s really helpful. A bit nervous to try to speak with a yorkshire accent. I love how it sounds though. Don’t they speak like that in Leeds ?
They do speak like that in Leeds too :)
Yorkshire = Anglo Saxon🇩🇪👌👱
The Yorkshire accent sounds like an Old Time Vermont accent. Also very guttural, The most common way to say “Yes.” was a guttural “Ayuh.” I am not sure where in the Uk the practice of saying “my” like “MOW-eye”, but a word with a hard “i” sound was always “oI” as in “oink.” That was also a sound in the Old Vermont Accent. Incidentally, my mother grew up five miles north of Bradford, Vermont. The early settlers usually named their towns after wherever they were from in Massachusetts, and in tern the original settlers in Mass. named their town after wherever they were from in England.
I loved the Yorkshire accent! I'm curious about the cockney accent that I think it's common in Liverpool?
Greetings from Argentina ❤❤
Cockney is East London. Liverpool folk speak Scouse.
What did he actually said at 9:46? :D
I expected them to speak like Sean Bean and Merk Addy, 🤔
Sheffield hometown of ABC80er
Scouse
