A Dubliner here .. I lived in england for a few years . The Pool was the only place I did not continually have to repeat myself .. Big Dub Influence in the scouse accent
Liverpool as a city takes a huge amount of pride in our Irish heritage. As a Liverpudlian (with no Irish blood) I find speaking with Irish people is like being at home. Huge amounts of similarities in wit and humour.
@@birukdamtew Got to give it to you there, When Newcastle came to Anfield i could not understand them at all. Friendly but quite hard to understand. Scouse is hard even from a scouser it's still hard to understand.
I'm from Liverpool, and if I don't "tune in" to what I'm listening to, it can seem like a foreign language especially with really thick accents, so don't beat yourself up.
Same here. I visited Liverpool in 2015, and I chatted with a Liverpoodlian man in Wavertree. It was hard at the beginning, but at the end I was able to understand almost everything.
As an Aussie Anglophile and mad Beatles fan, I love this video and the Scouse accent. I did a Beatles tour in Liverpool many years ago, and I hope to go with hubby one day in the future. Such friendly people in Liverpool. Thanks for this interesting video 😊
Very cool Sandra! I did a video on Paul McCartney's accent too a few years ago. Thanks for your comment and for watching all the way over there in sunny Oz!
Yes but really none of the Beatles spoke with this kind of accent at all that's why they are not even included in this video , probably because they come from an older generation?
There's that connection between Liverpool and Ireland as many Irish came over to Liverpool and the Dublin accent is not that too un similar to the Liverpool accent. I think comedian/impressionist Jon Culshaw once spoke and demonstrated of this in an interview.
How r u Tom? It's been a long time. I used to follow you religiously back in 2017-20. It's so heartwhelming how ur channel as grown and how u help thousands around the globe to improve their English. Mah u always stay blessed mate
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish I must tell you, you helped a lot to improve my pronunciation in British English. Thanks a lot mate for the free education that u had provided.
@@EatSleepDreamEnglishThe tapped r is the spanish,but only in Spain proper and a few other areas (like a part of Colombia). Also the finnish one, and the icelandic. Many other countries have a softer version of it like Poland, Sweden, etc.
If you are from Liverpool you can usually even tell which area they are from as the accent can be softer, more pronounced or harsher in tone and intonation. An easy or humorous way of learning the lilt of a Scouse accent is to say 'Day, doo doo dat don't day.' 😃
The Crew, Shooters, 51st State/Formula 51, Awaydays. If I'm thinking of the right film then Dead Mans Cards. If it's the right film then it was about bouncers and the drug trade in Liverpool in the 90s if that's the right one I'm thinking of
I went to uni to Liverpool John Moores. Im Spanish, Asturias. And I love scouse because although sometimes is hard to get.... is really has the same musicality, the ts sound... as my regional language )Bable/Asturian) where we also mix and match Asturian worlds in Castillian. So, this feels like home to me and makes it easier for me to speak English without renouncing my homeland accent. Actually,when I was living there no one believed me when I said I'm Spanish, so imagine!!
Great video as always! Also a fun fact: in Hamburg the local dish is called “Labskaus” which is the same stew that “scouse” originated from. Both cities have important ports so the sailors probably spread the recipe :) same pronunciation but different spelling
Ohhh that's super interesting! I wonder if sailors from Hamburg brought it over to Liverpool. There is also another link between the two great cities: Kevin Keegan.
No thats bollocks, its from the Norwegian, Skauss, a cheap stew concocted and adapted for the poor people, and there are different types of the dish scouse , Lobscouse, Blind scouse (no meat) etc. I'm a scouser born and bred. There are also variations within scouse dialect itself, common scouse, posh scouse. But great vid and nice to see proper analytics of our uniques accent (without saying Chicken) 😂😂👍🏻

I have been learning English as a non-native speaker since 1981 and the language always surprises me anew with its many words, phrases, and dialects. #OxfordComma
I first heard this accent by The Beatles and then The Spice Girls' Mel C and I love it! I am from Trenton, New Jersey and we put d on that, these, this, etc. so it kind of reminds me of my own accent in ways but different in ways also. I had a huge crush on Mel C so I love the scouse accent.
The accent is but the speaker isn't. Fact. People from "The One Eyed City" are called Wackers not Scousers. It comes from the shipbuilding industry in Birkenhead. Preferential treatment was given to workers from Birkenhead over Scousers. Birkenhead workers were assigned to insert and drive home the rivets securing the steel plates of the ships, ie Whacking.
Thank you for this video! As a Japanese our English education system is just teaching American accent or Queens accent. But it sounds boring, so I want to sound like a Scouse. I watch Red Dwarf and studying Lister's speaking.
Hallo from Germany🙋🏻♀️We also have a lot of accents in the German. I love accents it’s always interesting to hear it and it makes a language kind of lively, sometimes rather funny too, at least f e the Saxon accent in German. You mentioned the Irish influence in Scouse and the Singsang in the accent Scouse, this reminds me of an Irisch actor, Jamie Dornan, because he has a slightly Singsang and a lift up at the end of his sentences too. Thank you for the interesting insight into the different accents. I appreciate it very much.
I'm a Scouser. I've noticed that the accent is very similar to the Manx accent in the Isle of Man. They also had an influx of Irish settlers during the potato famine.
I am a Scouser , but been in Scotland for 20years and still when i speak to people that I don't know it is not uncommon for them to say 'are you from Liverpool' see I still have a Scouse accent after 20 years which proves , once a Scouser always a Scouser .
Yh scouse was named after a meal that i think it was norwegions bought over to make it more like homme for them, we started sellin it in resturants and that and it justt stook
Hi Tom, I'm slower getting used to scouse accent because I follow the Champions League Tv show on CBS hosted by Kate Abdo (a Manc but slighlty American as well), Micah Richards (a Brummie) and Jamie Carragher (a Scouser). It' beautiful spotting the differences, even though it's a bit tough... I also think that as an Italian, I have a little advantage in understanding northener accent, beacuse at school they tent to teach RP but actually when reading or speaking we spell all the words with open vowels. In fact the Italian language has many, many wider sounds than english one and in some way we adapt the italian pronunciation to english language. Last but not least, I wish you a merry christmas!🌲
Thanks for the observations Simone : ) The CBS show sounds like a great way to expose yourself to new accents and Jamie Carragher's Scouse is one of the strongest I've heard on TV. Micah Richards is a Manc btw. All the best, Teacher Tom
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish No way is he? According to Carragher he's a bit rough and makes fun of him because of that. Actually Carra himself isn't the poshest person in the UK while speaking😂
I felt in love with the scouse accent, city and people as much that I left my life behind and moved to Liverpool. I m not joking ❤ But after 6 months of living in Merseyside one day I went to the pharmacy and I left "crying" hahah I couldn't understand a single word the pharmaceutical said, she had to write it down for me 😂 so frustrating but still loving it 😊
I think Freddie from the Netflix reality show- Love Is Blind UK, may have this accent. I was so interested in the way he spoke, it led me to find your video! Thank you for that linguistic fun analysis!
In the 1960s when I was a child watching Till Death Us Do Part I had no idea what Alf Garnet was saying , when he insulted his son in law. To me it sounded like he was saying " scarse" which isn't a word. What he was actually saying was " scouse git" in a cockney accent with an intrusive R !
reminds me of an interview with Ross Barkley (Scouser) and Antonio Ruediger (German). I thought, Ruediger probably wouldn't understand much. Ruediger just grinned throughout and when asked why, he said, he didn't understand a word Barkley said. 🤣

A scouse friend was asked what her name was. She said in her broad scouse accent “Margaret” The woman said “Isn’t that a nice name, I’ve never heard the name Margritsss before. 😂
I am a native German. I grew up in a barracks with Englishmen for 18 years in the 70s, 1 kilometer from the Dutch border! And now you can guess where I know this dialect "Scouse" from!? That's right! It is amazingly identical to the Dutch pronunciation. Amazingly
Funny case: i heard many times that russian ы-sound is pretty difficult for english speakers, but pal at 2:20 said exactly this sound in the end of the word "fantastic".

Ohhh that's a really interesting suggestion. He's from Leicester and still has a very soft local accent. You are so right about him being a great communicator : )
The "ts" thing would explain me hearing "suyomo" when others heard "to Jorma" at the beginning of the Beatles' "It's All Too Much". And I've definitely heard the "er" thing, like from John Lennon in "Polythene Pam" - "she's the kind of a gehl who makes the News of the Wehld"
@@EatSleepDreamEnglishI would say the /k/ sound and /t/ as /h/ makes it difficult for me… I need to be listening to it for a while until I get used to it every time.
You know this through our instagram chats - I obsessively love the Scouse accent. I literally spent two years leisurely examining each of its features, recording myself, and mimicking it. There are other famous Scousers such as Frank Carlisle and Wayne Rodney. Posting This video first is fittingly conducive to making one about the Mancunian accent, which I recommend posting next. Happy Holidays Lad or as Liverpudlians say in their accent apply oildays la. Sometimes they drops ds at the end of words.
Glaswegian please - my daughter lives there for a few years and obviously has got around it but when we visited her this year there was no way I could understand what the lady told us about the rules in the cat cafe as we got there.. I live in Sussex for all 11 years that I am in UK. Around the border between East and West Sussex 😊
Ah that's a great idea. Glaswegian is one of my favourite accents so I'd love to explore its pronunciation features and help you understand your daughter's friends : )
Scouser here.. The football players came from opposite ends of the City so have different lilts. John Bishop is not a Scouser - he was born here but raised in Cheshire making him a 'Wool'. He exaggerates the accent for comedic gain - he's a knob head! The influence on our accent is mainly Irish (Tink - not think or fink as like Southerners and dink instead of think) which is why it is melodious. We are proud to be mongrels because we survive anything that is thrown at us!
That /x/ sound is pretty common in the Irish language, so we're all nodding here. One of those sounds we all get to learn at school, if our own regional English accent has lost it. Found in words like, for example, president: uachtarán.
The Beatles were from Liverpool. How come they didn't have such heavy scouse accents especially the aspirated ch or K. Were they perhaps more middle class or aspiring to sound more middle class. Would like to know. Thanks
Ahhh yeah Cilla Black was THE famous Scouse speaker until she passed away. Hearing her say 'lorra lorra love' on Blind Date is a major childhood memory of mine.
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish yes yes yes I thought his accent is an interesting one also he's so well spoken at such a young age + I love your content so I will wait for it :) ♡
Accent has changed over time so they spoke more old school scouse, it's got more harsher and strong over the years. John's and Paul's accents would now be found more so on the outskirts of Liverpool
In Welsh "CH" is a very common sound. The north Wal 11:07 es dialect of Welsh is a profound influence on the accent in Liverpool. The phonology of North Wales accents is quite similar to Liverpool, because a lot of features are found in Welsh. You'd realise this if you prounonced Llanerch or Bach. Irish is the other big influence of course. Many Welsh people settled in Liverpool, the Wirral and Chester from the beginning of the 18th Century to the mid 20thC. Hence all the people in Liverpool, called Jones, Davies, Roberts and Hughes. TJ Hughes& Lewis's shops ? All the Welsh Chapels?

I reckon you have a standard southern accent.
That's a good shout mate, I might just do that at some point in the future. Maybe I should get other teachers to analyse my accent.
The Beatles were from Liverpool. How come they didn't have such heavy scouse accents especially the aspirated ch or K. Were they perhaps more middle class or aspiring to sound more middle class. Would like to know. Thanks
I’ve read that accents are always evolving so in 50 years time scouser may sound different again
1:14 so just like how us Welshies are Sheepshaggers and Newcastles are called Geordies
When I started studying English as a 12-year-old boy, I used to listen to the Beatles a lot. So I would say “werk” instead of “work” 😅😅😅
No Beatles???
So Kostas Tsimikas is the greek scouser so that means he is also from england
Hehehe does he have a Scouse accent?
Thanks. I love it.
Actually, which Beatle has the most scouser accent? Does Paul?... What about John?
Other celebrities with a Liverpool accent would be late TV hostess and singer Cilla Black as well as comedian Les Dennis (Family Fortunes).
Ahhh yeah Cilla Black was THE famous Scouse speaker until she passed away. Hearing her say 'lorra lorra love' on Blind Date is a major childhood memory of mine.
What about the glottal stop in bottle, kettle, etc?
Fantastic video! I really enjoy it!
Thank you very much my friend! More accent guides to come : )
Yes love it! thank you so much
My fav!!!🥰
my 4th favourite UK accent
Born and bred scouser me but don’t understand why anyone wants to learn scouse?? Unless you live in Liverpool what good is it ???
Are you never fascinated by other accents? Or a certain one.
Paddy the Baddy is the first who comes to mind.
Fascinating!
Fab Four accent!
Please analyze Jude Bellingham's accent
Such a great idea! He's sooooo cool!
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish yes yes yes I thought his accent is an interesting one also he's so well spoken at such a young age + I love your content so I will wait for it :) ♡
Whats he talking about how else do you say brick
Why didn't John and Paul have a scouser accent?
Accent has changed over time so they spoke more old school scouse, it's got more harsher and strong over the years. John's and Paul's accents would now be found more so on the outskirts of Liverpool
I am in Liverpool 14 years and i still can’t use to that accent… even though my kids speak that 😅
In Welsh "CH" is a very common sound. The north Wal 11:07 es dialect of Welsh is a profound influence on the accent in Liverpool. The phonology of North Wales accents is quite similar to Liverpool, because a lot of features are found in
Welsh. You'd realise this if you prounonced Llanerch or Bach. Irish is the other big influence of course. Many Welsh people settled in Liverpool, the Wirral and Chester from the beginning of the 18th Century to the mid 20thC. Hence all the people in Liverpool, called Jones, Davies, Roberts and Hughes. TJ Hughes& Lewis's shops ? All the Welsh Chapels?
Quite difficult, but I love it
What about Book? if it sounds Boo'ch' then it s german Buch

Incredible... 😅
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it : )
you should analyse west country accent
It’s so goofy I love it. People make fun of my regions accent all the time so hearing an even sillier one is hilarious to me
John bishop puts on his accent so obvious
He never mentioned park an dark or chicken 😂
John Bishop is from Winsford in Cheshire not Liverpool.
Scousers get very triggered by this…
Scouse is the best accent in the werrrrlld
