I'm from Cork, Ireland and I swear to god she could be from just down the road, only she's not, she's hundreds of miles away! Her accent amazes me and her habits are so Irish! Thank you for sharing! :)
You would love Newfoundland. Quite a few of us have accents that some say are Irish. :) My accent is sort of Irish/Klingon. Hopefully we'll keep our dialects for many years to come.
Settlers who arrived in Newfoundland from Cork often grouped together, ensuring that the Irish accent has survived among their descendants, even if they never traveled to Ireland. Newfoundland is also the only place outside Europe that boasts an Irish-language name.
My Mom was from St. John's. Hearing Babe talk brings back memories of my Nan. My Nan is from the St. Mary's area a bit south of Ferryland. Irish fisherman in their dories. Proud of my Newfoundland heritage.
Finally figured out why we say 'scrob' not 'scratch'! Its Irish traces! (scríob) I had NO idea that this wasn't a common word in Canada, till I was up in Ontario and was asked what I meant after saying it! Plus something about how we use the word after! The Irish language has affected us so much! We are still using much of this now. I'm blown away.
Yes up in Canada, in Newfoundland some places they use "up the bay" or "down the road " in reference." Down on the Labrador". Nothing to due with Latitude or longitude. Still impressive to hear after 500 years of habitation and listen to a unique dialect that hasn't been to assimilated with mainland north America.
@@saycat6758 I'm wondering if saying 'up the Southern shore" stems from the days when most folks got there by boat...perhaps beating upwind, depending on the prevailing wind most times?
i was just watching a Canadian show on Netflix called Republic of Doyle. I was so sure the lead actor was a transplant from Ireland or something but apparently he was born and raised in Newfoundland. I thought i was going crazy but according to google I am not at all the only person to have made this observation ( one article on the topic lead me here ) lol . Good to know
You’re not going to believe this… The maternal side of my family hails from Gull Island, Newfoundland. My maternal grandmother’s maiden name is Doyle… I’ll have to find that show!

@40 Roller No, Toronto is "upalong". In fact, many folks on the East Coast still refer to Ontario as 'Upper Canada'.

It's funny how the guy who plays dad is from Ireland and sounds more Northern American.

She's so awesome.
Wow 🇮🇪
It's a pity they lost the Irish language too.
Wow she could be from Ireland.
You gotta pour that cream in your tea like you really mean it. lol
