      I find it weird that someone who's from the US and speaks English as their first language isn't able to understand her. English is my 3rd language and I understand her just fine.

    • @rachelysew
      @rachelysew 8 років тому +12

      kumikorkki Yeah, I suppose it is kind of funny, huh? But I can understand it, going your whole life never hearing English pronounced a certain way and therefore not being able to understand it. Shoot, there's some American English dialects I can't understand, as an American. Even in my own family, my older brother is deaf, and I'm the only hearing person who's never had any problem understanding his spoken English.
      That's really cool you can understand Aileen! What are your first two languages?

    • @kumikorkki
      @kumikorkki 8 років тому +12

      rachelysew Yeah, I get it. Sometimes watching Game of Thrones without subtitles is a bit hard, especially if they talk really fast. Also some American dialects are sometimes challenging, like in True Blood.
      My mother tongue is Finnish. Finland is a bilingual country so I also speak Swedish.

    • @rachelysew
      @rachelysew 8 років тому +5

      kumikorkki I love both of those shows! But yeah, I'm even a Southerner, but I couldn't easily understand a couple of the Southern dialects spoken on True Blood. Of course, not all of them were genuine, or even most of them, hahaha.
      Do you know if the Skarsgårds are as well liked in Scandinavia as they are here? Stellan, Alex, and Bill are some of my favorite actors. Have you seen Nymphomaniac?
      I'm seriously kind of envious of your ability to understand so many different accents and dialects of English. My second spoken language is German, and I have a really hard time with anything but Hochdeutsch and Schwäbisch. I suppose I just need more exposure.

    • @kumikorkki
      @kumikorkki 8 років тому +4

      rachelysew I just love the English language, because it is so diverse. All the different dialects and also the accents of foreign speakers. I think it's quite fascinating. :)
      Yes, the Skarsgårds are well known around here. I've seen Nymphomaniac. And I've seen the first 2 seasons of Hemlock Grove. There's something about Bill. He has a very eccentric look.
      A lot of Scandinavian actors have made it big in the film/TV industry. In Game of Thrones, Kristofer Hivju plays Tormund, who is one of my favourite characters. Too bad Finnish actors have not been able to make it. If you don't count playing a corpse on CSI. :D There are a couple Finnish actors on the new season on Vikings though.
      Exposure is the thing. If you keep exposing yourself to it, you will became better at it. I constantly try to better myself. I try to add new words and expressions to my vocabulary. Of course I'll never be as good as a native speaker, but that's okay. And I like talking to people online. I need more practice in writing English. I would like to be able to write more complex sentences. Now I'm just making sure people understand what I'm trying to say. :)
      Do you have much selection in school in what languages you can study?

    I had to watch this clip about 3 times because even though I could actually understand her fine (but I'm a weird American), I was too distracted by Graham's hysterical contained laughter. The story itself was great too, the accent completely upstaged it, Zach Braff's presence and Frank Skinner's voice intermixed brought it up another notch. More of this!

      dizzy365 Well, that's because Doutzen is from Friesland, where they have a very distinct dialect that really is an entirely separate language from Dutch. They speak West Frisian over there and, with the right voice (indeed like Doutzen's), it sounds incredibly beautiful, ethereal, otherworldly even.

But, I agree that, at least, her accent is cute and, in fact, that there are many Irish accents, like the Trinity one from Dublin, that are probably and often agreed to be the most beautiful English spoken anywhere. And that's an achievement when one is speaking English.

    This is probably the best ever red chair episode ever. I've told many people how funny it is! I do wonder if Graham knows the story in advance, he's laughing at her accent or if he works out where it's going as that's probably the most I've seen him lose it!

      She went to get groceries but it was a quick trip so she told her boyfriend to circle the parking lot instead of finding a spot. She finished ran into her boyfriend's car in the back and hit the back of the drivers seat telling him Go! Go! Go! It was winter time do she had a hat pulled over her head, scarf wrapped round her mouth. Turns out it wasn't her boyfriends car but a 60 year old woman's car, the driver freaked pressed the accelerator and ran into a lamp post

      In the early 90's I love astronomy. (Northern) Ireland has terrible weather, winter is the only time we would have a cold still atmosphere. Such conditions improve the seeing (ability to look clearly at planets etc.)
      I wanted a balaclava but my Ma said to me "Right, I'll drive you into Belfast but I'm not going into that shop. There is absolutely no way I'm buying a balaclava or even being beside you when doing so" hahahahahaha. I actually used that balaclava dozens of times while star gazing.
