Before I watched this video, I had been hesitant to speak English with my strong Japanese accent for a very long time because I wanted to sound perfect like a native speaker. But now, I feel a bit more confident with my accent. This video made me realise that there are many accents in the world, and I don’t need to be ashamed of mine. It helped me become more confident with my English. I really appreciate you uploading this video.
Most of us do not care, especially in America, one third of us speak perfectly, the second doesn’t speak English, and the third has English as their only language and still speaks it incorrectly
The cool thing about english, and as demonstrated beautifully by this video, is that English is spoken by so many different people worldwide that any native english speaker has spoken with many people with extremely varying and different accents. So, feel free to speak with a heavy accent, its normal and english speakers see it as normal.
Dude having an accent is badass, we're all from different places and that should be celebrated. The way we speak ours, and other people's languages is amazing and just the fact that we can communicate at all is so awesome.
Americans love when anyone tries to learn English, especially Japanese people. Japan is so developed that English isn't really needed there, so it shows a lot of dedication.

Your English is great by the way! Is it common in Japan to write countries / cities in capital letters? I like that and you are the first one I've noticed that.
I have been learning the English language over 7 years and I can tell it is still hard to comprehend other vernacular dialects. So fluent English is hard to achieve, C1 is more likely

Amazing video.. Clicked for the accents, fell in love with the beautiful mix of people. And personaly, the fact that you put Swahili at the end motivated me to learn it.
I, as an English French speaker from Canada, moved to Tanzania a few years ago when finishing up high school. It's a very easy language to learn. I'm not gonna lie! I took about 3 years to get to intermediate level by doing lessons once a week and doing duolingo! You should really learn! Noun classes are the only really difficult part up to what I know. It's mostly about building up suffixes and prefixes on either end of a verb. And it's like playing freestyle with language cause kind of everything is right and everything is wrong. It's fun and has a rhythm! I really recommend it giving it a shot on duolingo.
@loganfytchy-powow4580 Thank you for this information. I moved to Kenya 6months ago.. I will try duolingo, and then classes when I get the chance. It really is a beautiful sounding language.
That guy from Colombia is from my city, Medellín, he has a "Paisa" accent, which is just one of the around 14 accents that we have, which are VERY different from one another, just like being in another country. I'm an English teacher, and I can tell you that being my students from everywhere in this country, I can tell you that all of them have very different accents when speaking in English. Whatever the case, this is a really interesting video and I'm gonna show it from now on to my students. Thanks a lot and greetings from Colombia.
@@quangos9455 Well, there's also variation among people with the same background. I almost have a perfect "American" accent to the point that some American tourists think for a moment that I'm from the States, but some other people have a mild "paisa" accent, like the guy in the video, and some others have a very thick paisa accent, some even after living for decades in the States.
@alejobola its so interesting how we could tell where people are from based on how they speak english. and i think the most obvious one is paisa. im from cali living in nyc!
That's so true. I'm from the coast and I've speak English with many people of other cities, who would say that even in English our accents still remain!
I speak English but my parents spoke a Southern Italian dialect around the house. They never taught it to me because they used it as their secret language when they didn't want me to know what they were talking about. In high school I took two years of Italian and thought, now I'll know what they're saying. But it was formal Italian so it sounded different and my plans were foiled.
Wait, what? How it is possible? So your parents spoke literal Italian with you, but Southern accent with eachouther? What the heck? In my opinion it is a little bit weird if i understood you right
@@Вгостяхугеймера-м1к Penso che intendesse dire che i suoi genitori parlavano un dialetto del sud tra di loro, ma i dialetti non sono solo un accento, sono quasi un'altra lingua che però deriva sempre dall'italiano
2:35 this guy's english is really really good, i think his lack of confidence in english comes from the comparison between english and the other languages he speaks
This is amazing. There are too many English accents around the world to take in. Most non-native speakers still speak it with a heavy accent coming from their native language, but it's still okay to many native English speakers. There are also countless different and unfamiliar things out there in the world awaiting me. By the way, I wouldn't like to leave my home country for the first time soon because I feel more comfortable watching these awesome videos at home. Thanks for uploading this eye-catching one, Dan. 😊
As Ukrainian who consumed absurd ammounts of content (both in British accents and American ones, additionally to few quirky ones), I can safely say that I understand my thick-accented compatriots (or anyone with particular types of heavy accents) way less than natives.
@@PUARockstar ну якщо ти добре говориш мовою якоюсь ти знаєш як правильно вимовляти слова то так коли хтось каже "зис" можеш не зрозуміти одразу що він має на увазі "this" але ти напевно розумієш англійську з українським акцентом. взагалі навіть неправильна граматика, порядок слів тощо можуть бути зрозумілі тому що можна здогадатися що хтось переклав надто буквально з української на англійську
I just wanted to say that this is a really wholesome comment. Everyone is so nice in the comments on this video, it makes me happy how this kind of exploration of people and cultures brings out so much kindness in everyone
I'm an ENL teacher and my students are always super self-conscious about their accents, no matter how much I assure them that it doesn't matter. It will be really cool to show them that they are a part of a huge, beautiful group of people around the world who speak English with an accent.
Saying someone has a "British accent" means basically nothing. Someone from Glasgow will sound completely different to someone from London, but both of them are British.
@@kxkxsjk2There’s no such thing as ‘England English’. Even within England there is significant variation in accent, particularly between the north and the south.
We need more of these to remind the world we're all just people learning and living the best we can. You can see how their faces light up when they talk about or in their language and country. Wish the world was always this easy going!
These videos are always very interesting to watch. It is always special when you see that 1 rare person who can speak an Unbelievable amount of languages! (7 is the most I've seen)
As Midwesterner myself, can confirm, most of us barely speak the one. xD Thankfully, I love language and want to become at least conversational in Japanese so I can teach English there.
1:42 - Your english is fine dude. You're trying really well. Luckily a lot of South Floridians speak Spanish or are used to Cuban accents and can likely understand and help you more if you get stuck on a word that's hard to remember or translate. Keep up the good work :)
To be fair, they missed most of the interesting dialects and accents from the South and Appalachia. AAVE, Louisiana Creole, Appalachian, and 'Southern' are all quite distinct and it's sad that the closest we got was 'midwest'.
Aww, that's not how language learning works though! There's never a deadline where you have to be fully fluent by then, so you can't actually fail, you can always keep learning! 💪😊
@@christophermccutcheon2143 My apologies. I'm just another dumb American. I assumed England was synonymous with UK with this comment. Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are all separate nations within the UK, but at the same time are parts of one nation, the UK. When someone says UK, we, some or most Americans, think of England. I stand corrected. Thank you, comment police.
This guy also has like what almost sounds like a little bit of a western ny accent? When he says “dad,” the first syllable of “Spanish” and the second syllable of “America.” (Someone please tell me if I am laughably horrible terribly wrong. I don’t know anything about languages, I’m just a person who is from the northeast and have spent time in south Florida, and many family members who have moved from the northeast to south Florida.)
It's the "flat" American accent similar to the "media voice" you'd hear for advertising or broadcast. It's supposed to be the most understandable English accent.
I had an Aussie friend whose accent was actually way closer to British RP than the stereotypical Aussie accent. I want to say she was from the Adelaide area but I don't remember for sure.
@@NormanDimmick I'm from NSW, Tamworth and have a semi-country accent. But unfortunately my accent was influenced by school, they taught "proper English" and that's what I learnt.
I just wanted you to know that if you ever read this, your video is so beautiful and seeing the pure joy and interaction between you and the people you interviewed made me tear up. Thank you for documenting so many beautiful moments of people first and foremost, and also a small highlight of some of their culture through language. Beautiful and refreshing video ❤
A lot of these “accents” weren’t really authentic because the people were really good at English and obviously learned how to surprise their natural accent.
even if you're really good at english, there are certain quirks while you speak that you cannot control due to the phonetical differences in the languages, my english level is C1 but there are words that give away my accent
i think alot of them were americanised, probably because they were in the US for a lot of the vids. its to be expected. And also US English is taught more than UK english due to more resources and the internet so people are picking up an americanised accent more than their original accent in english.
for those interested, the International Dialects of English Archive (IDEA) has samples of over a thousand region-specific accents and dialects of English. they list not only the country, but also the city, age, and sex of the person speaking. it's such an interesting resource.
Islam just had a very big impact on culture in places, where it was spread. I'm myself tatarian from Republic of Tatartstan, one of Russian region, and we have a lot of Arabic and Persian words in our language, even tho our ancestors had very different language and culture from those region. The trade changed our language and culture a lot! We were used to some muslim words from Koran without even realizing it ain't originating from ancestor language. This one is clear example
There are many borrowings in the Russian language. But the connection with the Koran by this user is too far-fetched (if he did not mean the Tatar language). Similarly, it can be associated with Latin (through Byzantium) or French (through the 19th century).
12:28 really good representation of an Icelandic accent speaking English, I’m glad you found an old person because the Icelandic accent is way stronger in the older generation
British not being split up into Welsh, Scottish, English, Northern Irish is odd. The girl you interviewed had an upper class accent anyway, very few English people speak like that.
Strange how even neighbour counties of Britain can sound completely different with different words (Same with Spanish and Italian) while in Russia it's the same Russian, same sounding and vocabulary everywhere. In Kaliningrad near Poland, Murmansk near Norway or Vladivostok near Korea and Japan in 10000 km away
im surprised they didnt touch on the australian and new zealand accents. They are sort of mixtures of the british accents, and are quite interesting to compare nvm i didnt watch it all

This video brought to light my love for everyone. People individually are actually sweethearts when you think about it. They get mean when in crowds.
This! Humans are so sweet.
sure!
Lol this exactly what George Carlin felt when he said this on a Conan interview. You should check it out
Imagine trying to be English in England with all these people there!
people with strong german accents speaking english always throws me off its so amusing and i love it
I know, it is cringe af 😅

It sounds so awful, but it's kinda funny. Like something you'd hear in a cartoon

It is very neat.
the Xhosa language from south africa has this sound, as well as other clicking sounds, it sounds beautiful
They are called click languanges and they are mostly form Southern Africa
@@nubia2408 I think the term is Khoisan languages.
Me: I bet Kyrgyz is really unique, I’d love to hear something I’ve never heard before
Kyrgyz: Assalamu Alaikum
Me: 😑
hahaha
it's not that unique, it's similar to kazakh. but if you want to hear something unique hmm maybe "doske" (bro) or "azyr lagman zhep zhatam" (i'm eating lagman right now)
that guy doesn’t speak Kyrgyz, he even mispronounced the name of the language
It's like a French person saying 'Allo'
@@WilhelmFreidrich Or like a Swede saying “Hej”
no thats french from france accent 0:41
Amazing video..
Clicked for the accents, fell in love with the beautiful mix of people.
And personaly, the fact that you put Swahili at the end motivated me to learn it.
I, as an English French speaker from Canada, moved to Tanzania a few years ago when finishing up high school. It's a very easy language to learn. I'm not gonna lie! I took about 3 years to get to intermediate level by doing lessons once a week and doing duolingo! You should really learn! Noun classes are the only really difficult part up to what I know. It's mostly about building up suffixes and prefixes on either end of a verb. And it's like playing freestyle with language cause kind of everything is right and everything is wrong. It's fun and has a rhythm!
I really recommend it giving it a shot on duolingo.
@loganfytchy-powow4580
Thank you for this information. I moved to Kenya 6months ago.. I will try duolingo, and then classes when I get the chance.
It really is a beautiful sounding language.
Yeah. The blonde women
That guy from Colombia is from my city, Medellín, he has a "Paisa" accent, which is just one of the around 14 accents that we have, which are VERY different from one another, just like being in another country. I'm an English teacher, and I can tell you that being my students from everywhere in this country, I can tell you that all of them have very different accents when speaking in English. Whatever the case, this is a really interesting video and I'm gonna show it from now on to my students. Thanks a lot and greetings from Colombia.
My parents are both from medellin and their english sounds different then his
@@quangos9455 Well, there's also variation among people with the same background. I almost have a perfect "American" accent to the point that some American tourists think for a moment that I'm from the States, but some other people have a mild "paisa" accent, like the guy in the video, and some others have a very thick paisa accent, some even after living for decades in the States.
@alejobola its so interesting how we could tell where people are from based on how they speak english. and i think the most obvious one is paisa. im from cali living in nyc!
That's so true. I'm from the coast and I've speak English with many people of other cities, who would say that even in English our accents still remain!
Yes!! I'm from Bogota and the accent (both in spanish and english) is super distinct, it's really amazing how much variety Colombia has :)
This video is so amazing, it shows so many different cultures across the english speaking world and the people represent those cultures so well
I smiled all the time. Beautiful, smart and such different people. Wishing peace to our planet!
Man: "The Brooklyn accent is gone"
The caption: "Brooklyn USA Accent" 💀

He ain't young.
These videos are so interesting to me. Hearing these accents is almost like stories being told.
Nice interpretation. The accents do tell a bit of story.
I speak English but my parents spoke a Southern Italian dialect around the house. They never taught it to me because they used it as their secret language when they didn't want me to know what they were talking about. In high school I took two years of Italian and thought, now I'll know what they're saying. But it was formal Italian so it sounded different and my plans were foiled.
Wait, what? How it is possible? So your parents spoke literal Italian with you, but Southern accent with eachouther? What the heck? In my opinion it is a little bit weird if i understood you right

2:35 this guy's english is really really good, i think his lack of confidence in english comes from the comparison between english and the other languages he speaks
He clearly said his vocabulary is the problem not his ability to speak properly.
9:16 LOVE this “Xhosa” pronunciation SO MUCH
Finding the midwestern guy next to a pawnshop is the most midwestern thing I have seen

Eh its okay
This is amazing. There are too many English accents around the world to take in. Most non-native speakers still speak it with a heavy accent coming from their native language, but it's still okay to many native English speakers. There are also countless different and unfamiliar things out there in the world awaiting me. By the way, I wouldn't like to leave my home country for the first time soon because I feel more comfortable watching these awesome videos at home. Thanks for uploading this eye-catching one, Dan. 😊
As Ukrainian who consumed absurd ammounts of content (both in British accents and American ones, additionally to few quirky ones), I can safely say that I understand my thick-accented compatriots (or anyone with particular types of heavy accents) way less than natives.
@@PUARockstar ну якщо ти добре говориш мовою якоюсь ти знаєш як правильно вимовляти слова то так коли хтось каже "зис" можеш не зрозуміти одразу що він має на увазі "this" але ти напевно розумієш англійську з українським акцентом. взагалі навіть неправильна граматика, порядок слів тощо можуть бути зрозумілі тому що можна здогадатися що хтось переклав надто буквально з української на англійську
I just wanted to say that this is a really wholesome comment. Everyone is so nice in the comments on this video, it makes me happy how this kind of exploration of people and cultures brings out so much kindness in everyone
10:00 he is so nice, such a nice man
He's just happy someone is praising his religion
He is Potential terrorist
This video reminded me how different people are from each other and for some reason it makes me happy
I'm an ENL teacher and my students are always super self-conscious about their accents, no matter how much I assure them that it doesn't matter. It will be really cool to show them that they are a part of a huge, beautiful group of people around the world who speak English with an accent.

Such a beautiful diversity 😅 I feel confident now with my strong French accent. Thank you 😅
this is so much more than listening to how people speak. It shows people. Really appreciate this video.
Saying someone has a "British accent" means basically nothing. Someone from Glasgow will sound completely different to someone from London, but both of them are British.
There are a lot countries where you can say this.
I think people refer to England English by saying that
@@kxkxsjk2There’s no such thing as ‘England English’. Even within England there is significant variation in accent, particularly between the north and the south.
British accent it's literally RP or CSEE
I live in the south west of england and we have distinct dialects from city to city. Someone from london speaks like they're from a movie.
We need more of these to remind the world we're all just people learning and living the best we can. You can see how their faces light up when they talk about or in their language and country. Wish the world was always this easy going!

who can speak an Unbelievable amount of languages! (7 is the most I've seen)
the question is how well they can speak each one of them
This is such a beautiful video. It's like a documentary/art
Really cool video! I love seeing how happy some people are to talk to you, especially to teach you a little of their language.

The ridiculous part is that you've added multiple varieties of American English accents, but only one you label British.
To be fair, they missed most of the interesting dialects and accents from the South and Appalachia. AAVE, Louisiana Creole, Appalachian, and 'Southern' are all quite distinct and it's sad that the closest we got was 'midwest'.
i guess if the interviews were done in the u.s it makes sense why there would be most american english speakers found
Well, there was one English-Scottish (as opposed to Scots) speaker
“British” accents are more similar than American accents
You'd have to make an entire video dedicated to just british accents because they vary not across regions but towns.....
Ok but the guy in 11:36 "I tried French but I failed miserably" represents me when I tried to learn Icelandic 💀💀😭
ég tala íslensku >:D
I went to an icelandic group and they all were racists so it discouraged me to learn it
Aww, that's not how language learning works though! There's never a deadline where you have to be fully fluent by then, so you can't actually fail, you can always keep learning! 💪😊

@@christophermccutcheon2143 My apologies. I'm just another dumb American. I assumed England was synonymous with UK with this comment.

When someone says UK, we, some or most Americans, think of England. I stand corrected. Thank you, comment police.
1:19 this guy has damn good voice
This guy also has like what almost sounds like a little bit of a western ny accent? When he says “dad,” the first syllable of “Spanish” and the second syllable of “America.”
(Someone please tell me if I am laughably horrible terribly wrong. I don’t know anything about languages, I’m just a person who is from the northeast and have spent time in south Florida, and many family members who have moved from the northeast to south Florida.)
It's a pretty normal voice lol.
wait really? that one out of the all the other voices?
german guy is the best
It's the "flat" American accent similar to the "media voice" you'd hear for advertising or broadcast. It's supposed to be the most understandable English accent.
8:37 ofc the dutch guy is on a bike🇳🇱😂
cycling is as Dutch as it gets
He sounded like he could be from NYC as well. Dutch have crazy good English skills.
The 'Aussies' at 9:51 sounds suspiciously British, to my British ears
Probably South Australian or just British. South Australians still speak "the King's English"
@@LtGhost-tb3kq i am south australian... we dont sound that posh
@@ioannis7833 Yeah I know, but it'd be the only explanation.
I had an Aussie friend whose accent was actually way closer to British RP than the stereotypical Aussie accent. I want to say she was from the Adelaide area but I don't remember for sure.
@@NormanDimmick I'm from NSW, Tamworth and have a semi-country accent. But unfortunately my accent was influenced by school, they taught "proper English" and that's what I learnt.
I just wanted you to know that if you ever read this, your video is so beautiful and seeing the pure joy and interaction between you and the people you interviewed made me tear up. Thank you for documenting so many beautiful moments of people first and foremost, and also a small highlight of some of their culture through language. Beautiful and refreshing video ❤
A lot of these “accents” weren’t really authentic because the people were really good at English and obviously learned how to surprise their natural accent.
shuuuuuuuuuuuuuush
*suppress
even if you're really good at english, there are certain quirks while you speak that you cannot control due to the phonetical differences in the languages, my english level is C1 but there are words that give away my accent
i think alot of them were americanised, probably because they were in the US for a lot of the vids. its to be expected. And also US English is taught more than UK english due to more resources and the internet so people are picking up an americanised accent more than their original accent in english.
Their accent: "well damn okay I didn't expect that nvm I guess"
Beautiful video...really highlights subtle differences Ive never noticed before
3:50 This guy has the best accents to his left! ❤
I love this video. It shows the beauty of human beings and also encourages me to learn more languages. Thank you. :)
I love this video, it’s calm and makes me happy
for those interested, the International Dialects of English Archive (IDEA) has samples of over a thousand region-specific accents and dialects of English. they list not only the country, but also the city, age, and sex of the person speaking. it's such an interesting resource.
amazing, i've got to check that out.
Otw
The variety of people is so beautiful to behold.
-"could you speak something in kyrgyz?"
proceeds to speak arabic
"Salama alleikhu"
Islam just had a very big impact on culture in places, where it was spread. I'm myself tatarian from Republic of Tatartstan, one of Russian region, and we have a lot of Arabic and Persian words in our language, even tho our ancestors had very different language and culture from those region. The trade changed our language and culture a lot! We were used to some muslim words from Koran without even realizing it ain't originating from ancestor language. This one is clear example
@@いするぎみおthat was so interesting I would have never associated Russia and Islam, спасибо
Yeah he didn't really speak Kyrgyz when you think about it hahaha, no Turkic words there!
There are many borrowings in the Russian language. But the connection with the Koran by this user is too far-fetched (if he did not mean the Tatar language). Similarly, it can be associated with Latin (through Byzantium) or French (through the 19th century).
12:28 really good representation of an Icelandic accent speaking English, I’m glad you found an old person because the Icelandic accent is way stronger in the older generation

British not being split up into Welsh, Scottish, English, Northern Irish is odd. The girl you interviewed had an upper class accent anyway, very few English people speak like that.
Definitely quite confused that they included both Ireland and Scotland but not us
Strange how even neighbour counties of Britain can sound completely different with different words (Same with Spanish and Italian) while in Russia it's the same Russian, same sounding and vocabulary everywhere.
In Kaliningrad near Poland, Murmansk near Norway or Vladivostok near Korea and Japan in 10000 km away
im surprised they didnt touch on the australian and new zealand accents. They are sort of mixtures of the british accents, and are quite interesting to compare
