I'm from the south of the United States. It's been difficult for me to understand the Northern Irish accent until I found your channel. Your lessons are so clear and easy to understand that I no longer find understanding much of a challenge. My husband and I plan to visit y'all someday. I feel fairly confident that I'll understand. Thanks!
As a resident of the Upper Midwest in the U.S., I have to say I love Colin's accent, but it can be a challenge at times to understand. Nice video! Thanks for doing this.
Came across this video because I love Colin Morgan. It was actually overall a very interesting little lesson! I also love the point about the hard "R" because I'm born and raised in New Jersey (United States) and that's something we're kind of known for too lol!
I never had a problem understanding the NI accent. I absolutely love it. I guess being exposed to so many languages and accents in Uni made it easy. 🥰. I'm from the Caribbean
I'm from Armagh and one of my English ex's used to take piss out of the way I said 'car'. It sounds more like 'cyar', much like Colin saying 'cyast' and 'cyategory'. I was impressed she picked up on it because most English people in my experience can't tell the difference in Irish accents, nevermind noticing something so specific about the Armagh accent.
I can do the Northern Irish O easily, which is actually present in some English accents, mostly used by younger people, but in different contexts: for exemple in "hello" or "no", but not in "now" or "out". For the first one ('voting') I feel like most of the time when the T is swallowed (glottal stop) then an -in will follow instead of an -ing even in English accents. However when the T is pronounced the -ing will follow.
Yo estoy aquí por Mi Colin, todo por poder entender su sexy y hermoso acento, aunque está difícil ya que, hablo español jaja aunque también hablo Japonés, pero eso tampoco me ayudará. T_T;

He is such a good actor and it’s even better when he talks in his native accent. Thank you for breaking it down for us.

Thank you for making this video!! ❤️
I am from Armagh after 45 years in another country my accent has not changed.
As a kid I’ve enjoyed Colin Morgan’s performance as Merlin. I only recently discovered he is Northern Irish.
I thought always of interesting about his accent~! Thanks your video!

I think my obsession on Colin just shines coz i literally found this out of nowhere 🤣🤣🤣 but i do learn a lot from your video. Glad i did find you
Can you do a video on Jamie Dornan’s accent please?
Yes, I'll add it to the list.
Could you also do a video on Katie Mcgrath's accent please?
Isn't she from the Republic of Ireland rather than Northern Ireland?
@@AlsActionEnglish she is indeed from the Republic of Ireland, so Mabey Kenneth Brannagh's accent instead?
Please do a North coast of Northern Ireland accent pleasssse
The accent sounds a lot like the local accent here in northeastern New York state in the USA.
My family is from Armagh.
wow-you are good!
Colin's got the best accent ever!😍😍♥️👌🏽
Do County Mayo please ❤

Can I ask some question ? British and Irish is not same right ?
100% different. Look up the history and you will see why that question would even annoy people lol
@@BadDubII thank you
Well we are Part of the United Kingdom so yes we are British and we are Northern Irish and we are also Irish by geography
I don't think Merlin is a sticom 🤔
I was about to say the same thing! Maybe it had an element of comedy in the beginning, but by the end, definitely not.
