@@marcogiardi3737 Ya do'nt undestand the crack of the video, he is a facking cockney, u cant; that do'nt count. If ya not sure what i'm talking about, , look at Robert Carlisle playing a Tyke.
As an American who's been watching British TV and movies my whole life the Cockney accent was always my favorite. I just smile whenever I hear it. Just seems so down to earth, friendly and fun and I can relate to that. RP kind of intimidates me.😄
She is brilliant, as someone born and lived most of my life in East London her accent is excellent, I now live in Norfolk, but listening to this has made me quite homesick.
Alfie is one of my favorite characters in the show. Equal parts funny and intimidating. Something about a cockney accent combined with a rumbly voice adds an extra dimension of menace to a hard geez.
Wow... It's long since I felt this joy last while learning. A very professional lesson, a very funny display, a very nice lady. Following from now on. Thank you!
Cockney ere, after 10 years of living in Czech Republic, I have been told that my accent has finally gone, it only gets unleashed during meet ups with my siblings. This was a nice watch to remember my roots, great video.
As, I guess, the closest thing to an Australian RP speaker, (thank you, mum and dad), I have traveled this wide, brown land extensively and have always found the regional dialects of Australia fascinating. I don't have insights into the minutia of our accent that you clearly have yours, but love listening to foreign accents as well. I'm getting pretty good at nailing down at least the rough area in the UK and the Americas from which the speaker harks. Thank you for your infinitely interesting videos which help me with my amateur studies.
This is a great show to learn these accents. She's so good. I'd love to see her land a cameo on the show. The actors all talk about how the "Brummy" is hard to do even for English folk. She makes it look easy.
Great lesson! So engaging! It’s so important to be able to understand different accents but not to copy them when learning English (unless the learner is living there and wants to fit in) as if the learner repeats it to someone who isn’t cockney they may get a few funny looks 🙈. If I spoke like this in the north people would ask me why I’m not talking properly 😂
Very cool. I love Tom Hardy. My wife is from Cambridgeshire, so she has a soft Southern accent. She has lost some of it due to living in the Southern United States for the last eighteen years. My friend Steven is a Jordy. I also know people from Essex and Wales. My family is from Scotland and I still have family in Dundee. They tell me I am Scottish, but some Scottish people say I am not. I guess I will just say I am a Gael. I do speak a fair amount of Scots Gaelic.
I've got the English C1 certificate (I'm Spanish) I lived in Benidorm (I'm sure you've heard about it) for more than 10 years. I had many British friends and I heard many different accents. When you say in the video that your accent is from Birmingham, I've just remembered that many British used to think that I was from Birmingham, when they listened to me. They thought I was British!!! From Birmingham!!!
The Cockney accent is one of the most famous ones in America and the rest of the world remembers the famously bad one done on Mary Poppins. We had a good example in the character of Private Newkirk from the 60's sitcom 'Hogan's Heroes'. You may want to look that up. From what I've heard it isn't one that got played on British TV much but I've been told its been compared to McHale's Navy or Dad's Army. (which *_I_* haven't seen...maybe I'll look them up)
@@bojansmf3673 I said on Merry Poppins as in the movie by that name not by Marry Poppins the character. Good info on R P English though, I didn't know what that was called.
You are so great Laura! It's my treat every day to watch your videos and I have a lot of catch up to do since I discovered your channel onlt a few weeks again only.
Mid-Atlantic/Northeast American here. We definitely drop the g here to this day. I have London, Irish, and German ancestry, which is typical for the region, and some of the gestures and expressions you used here, but did not mention, I recognize in specific areas, like New York. Some of them got picked up by later Italian immigrants, and mixed with some of their cultural gestures to get the NY-gangster movie type from the 1930s-now. Interesting to know where specific pieces of the puzzle came from!
Great lesson in how to 'unspeak' the English Accent. I am Hertfordshire bred, who had cockney parents, but can speak either full on cockney or RP with a cockney undertone.
To me, learning a good standard English with a proper and comprehensible accent is enough. But I love dialects, local slangs and accents in general. I only need to have a very good base before to learn them! 😊
When you talk like Alfie you gotta use the "f" word a LOT more. I'm actually surprised you found sentences Alfie says without using the f word. Great content!
I’m rolling laughing hard! You are a killath gangster. Love every gesture you make with you mouth and your demeanor of speaking you should be cast in the movies. I’m on. Kudos from New Orleans
I don't know what Hollywood is waiting for. This is a masterpiece. You may want to know that the "peopow" thing also is typical in Portuguese and Polish languages. Or you may not.
ELIZA DOOLITTLE. My Fair Lady. You mention cockney and childhood memories of her adorable accent ringing in my head. Maybe she's why I'm so into learning to distinguish between diff English accents, all these years later. Heh heh

The name Alfie saands mow like Awt- vee like too silly baws angin toogevva by a lii -aw 'uh' saand,skipping not seamlessly across the dipfong, but awmost . I live in Wales now and in Welsh the uh sound is written as a y, so the place I live betws y coed is said bettus ah co edh, said with a slightly perceptable lispy tounge hitting against front top teeth..I love accents and I change over when speaking to some quite subconsciously at times..love the peakys a treasury of wonderful characters but Tom hardy is epic with his Alfie, amazing🙏❤️
As a dutchie, I like this channel and these kinds of lessons, makes me want to go out and buy a suit and some english shoes and go fer a stroll with my umbrella.
8:00 if you happen to care the correct pronunciation of Diphthongs is with a F since it resemble more the original. Just remember Photograph it starts and ends with an F. This was a lovely video btw thank you so much🙏🏼
Alfie's accent is the final boss in English
I would say Ray Winstone

@@34kbro Take it up with Noah Webster. 😛
Teacher: "Don't worry. Listening at the exam will be easy."
Listening at the exam: Alfie Solomons... at a crowded railway station...
Exactly
Alfie has that perfect Jewish cockney accent too, honestly what brilliant acting from Tom
I absolutely love these kinds of lessons. Please do more and more lessons like this.🧡
Okay!😉🤣
Yes, I agree!
Yes please
I’m absolutely STUNNED at how you managed to sound *so* perfectly Alfie using just the word
“so”
at 11:37
Alfie is one of my all time favorite characters.
She is brilliant, as someone born and lived most of my life in East London her accent is excellent, I now live in Norfolk, but listening to this has made me quite homesick.
I think I like this. Anyone who uses Alfie Solomons to teach English is doing something right.
5:30 this has to be the most epic explanation/demonstration for language learners ever. 👍😂
Lmao
Really 😂😂
The most incredible English teacher ever!!!!
That’s highly correct
Shame we couldn't understand the Brummie accent 😛🤣
Hat becomes A
I do believe you’re right
Well done.
Until you realize it’s actually “tit for tat”😂
😂😂👍👍
so damn true
A very in depth, extensive demonstration of these regional accents. A damn fine job, young lady. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.

Pete & Bas 😂
You just stole my heart with your pronunciation in this video! ❤
Been a cockney accent fan for years:))
More videos about this accent please!
Always love the way you present the material for learning British accents!! Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩❤️ I need more like this video. 😁
Hai kak

Cause she's from Birmingham
Superb class. I've been trying to nail this accent for years. Now, at least, I do understand more how to.... Cheers from Argentina!

Mary poppings didn't do a cockney accent, she did a very good/what is now being called R P English , it was Dick van Dyke

You are so great Laura! It's my treat every day to watch your videos and I have a lot of catch up to do since I discovered your channel onlt a few weeks again only.
Especially the technic of repeating some sentences and slangs makes people learn without they know
it's just superb
She is absolutely marvellous💛beautiful, funny and with no doubt the best teacher🙏
I am from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🇸🇦, So I'm a Native Arabic
Did you know how many times I bit my tongue trying to imitate you? 😂😂

Although I don't fully comprehend, it's nice to know that there are thousands of languages/accents in the world.

Thankyou!! ☺️

Laura deserves an Academy Award!
You can clearly hear the relation to the Australian accent. Fascinating.
Every time when I meet you, I will give you a thumb up. Your program is so wonderful.
I learned a lot, laughed, and was entertained.
Perfect!☺️
Very good indeed..
Love it ………..I’m Birmingham born………loved PB and Alfie was an incredible character.
Well done🤗🤗
Your are a natural talent. Great work👏
Adore your lessons!! So understandable, so wish you were my teacher
Nice job! Great idea) Really engaging delivery of material. Even for not English speaker
She's talented, gifted, intelligent and all that, I subscribed. Ty for the inspiration ma'am.
My dad was a cockney, I'm Aussie but I notice a bit of a mix of both languages in our family!
I'm using this for voice coaching. We are doing a play set in London in the fifties so this will be a good introduction.
Genius! You have delivered an extremely enjoyable lesson.
Nice, I love your accent and your teaching skills, as a Polish I speak a bit like this accent - replacing 'th' sound a f

Unfortunately there ain’t many Cockneys left in London, the last one I saw one was a taxi driver taking me to Charing Cross Station.
Thank Laura, I have to learn the Cockney accent for a role I have in a film on Friday.
You're so funny! Love your lessons
