      @@themajesticbulldog3832 I just can’t understand it. Same with anyone with a thick accent. Cause I’m American. This country lost its ability to English a long time ago. Now everyone’s growing up with that generic white girl from California kinda accent. Because people from California are moving everywhere and spreading their California virus. It causes housing prices to rise and the culture to fall apart. Gotta get vaccinated before you come to America if you do. You don’t wanna become a Californian.

      I'm from an even more Northern area than Yorkshire (I'm in Cumbria) but I've lived and worked in Texas. Most Texans were absolutely puzzled as to what I was saying to them in shops. Mind you, when they really got talking in their Texas accents, I was an alien in a strange place.

    As a Californian, I just LOVE this sort of thing. When I travel to other countries people say they have a hard time understanding my California accent. I traveled to London in 1972. My friend and I stayed in East Acton; we may have well been staying in East Beijing. Communication was definitely challenging, to say the least.

      Cause you’re from California. From what I understand that Californian accent is just a bland generic accent. And it’s spreading like a disease. It’s aggressively wiping out other accents. It’s like that here. No accent at all. Nothing. I don’t even have one. But at least I talk funky so I’ve got something.

Californians have this higher pitched valley girl way of talking where they end every sentence with a high pitch that makes it sound like a question. Drives me crazy.

    My attempt at subtitles. I'm from Yorkshire but don't speak the same as him so I missed some stuff.
    Hello (name of guy i guess). Done one for your young one. So this is for Joshua. An introduction to the Yorkshire dialect. Now then young Joshua, how are you going on? That means "g'day mate" where me and your father are from. Another way we'd greet is "eyup old cocker" (i believe this is a barnsley thing). And by the way, "footie" is "rugby", and it's "football" not "soccer". That's (?) young lad, that's Yorkshire flowing through your veins. Ah you're an Aussie, but they're not quite the same. There's a lot to learn, young one, about this glorious land. "God's County" we call it, and by heck is it grand. Best place to start is how we talk. Because you'll never understand if you're not taught. So pin back your lug holes, or "ears" to you, sit down, hush up, and listen to me. Starting with basics, not hard; hello and goodbye. Well, I've told you already; "ey up" means "hi". Instead of "goodbye", we say "ta ra". But don't confuse it with "thanks" which is just "ta". While your mom works for dollars, your father addles for brass. And when you see a "hot Sheila", we call her a "bonnie lass". Your mom's eating shrimp off the barbie. Your dad's eating dumplings and stew. And while your mom's doing the Nutbush, your dad's doing the Agadoo. Now, a daft bleedin' apeth (idiot), or a bleedin' great oaf, would be a flaming drongo, or somebody clumsy. Or both. A sanger is a sarnie, and your dinner is your tea, which makes your lunch your dinner. In Yorkshire, that is. "Oil" means "hole". I've a different mind (i think?) to explain that. And we wear flat caps in Yorkshire, not bleedin' corks on our hats. Where the Aussies will be watching Crocodile Dundee, we'll be watching (idk what he said). Which is better, I'm telling you. To "cal" (?) is to "talk" and to "troff" is to "eat". If you're "supping" you're "drinking". And your "pal" is your "mate". Now, I don't wanna go on. Getting ahead of myself. (Send self my way? Idk lol) look I've done it again. I'll just give you some time, for now that'll do. When you're ready, I shall give you lesson number 2. What I can say to you is that you can be full of pride. You have roots in the best place for all the world wide. So send your father out to get you a white rose. Get it pinned on your chest, so that everyone knows. And when the Aussies ask you "what's that rose about, like?" you can answer in dialect "sithi/see thee, I'm a tyke."
