As a Linguistics major at my university, I'm impressed with the IPA usage. Nicely done. Next video please include Essex, Manchester, and Ireland (even though it's another country). Greetings from Los Angeles!
I’m from the southern US, it’s pretty clear some of these accents had a lot of influence on the accents here. Particularly the Old South accent, you rarely hear anybody use it nowadays though.
My accent is a canny mix between Geordie and Scottish, we usually don't have diphtongs in our speech. All accents are beautiful in their own way. Love your videos ❤
I found amazing you trying to learn Portuguese. I am from Portugal and since a very young age absolutely love every and each British English Accent, therefore I loved this video. Thanks
You are absolutely incredible!!!! What a great channel you have! I've jut found it today! I lived in London back in 1998/99! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and content. I'm a new subscriber from now on. Greetings from Brazil! Your accent is perfect for me! The BBC accent is so pure and clear! Which is Adele's accent? Cockney, I suppose! Sometimes it is hard to understand her!
After this video, I imagine listening to someone talking in a Yorkshire or Scottish accent and asking them too many times to repeat themselves to be perceived as appropriate. I would keep my eyes on their mouth without even a blink, too. Well, I was exposed to the other ones more often so far, but now that I am this motivated by your video, and listening more carefully, even the two are not that incomprehensible. RP accent speaker here!
So happy you included Geordie. I'm from Hebburn just south of the Tyne (although born in Durham city). Can I bore you with some more details. No? Well, I'll do it anyway. - Bairn is not said 'barn' the way you said it but 'bairn'. I'm told by some Scottish friends that we say it more than them now as they tend to say 'weens' more nowadays. We also say 'bonny' for nice, good looking, pleasant. And 'canny' means 'very good' rather than cunning as it can elsewhere. - We pronounce the vowel sound in 'day', 'play', 'away' like the German eh in Mehl so we say 'mail' as /meːl/ not /meɪl/. - We pronounce the vowel in 'go' and 'no' like the Nordic å. So we say 'go' as /goː/ not /ɡəʊ/. - We have a thing called glottal reinforcement which means when you get a T, K or P sound between vowels (eg matter, pickle, happy) it's pronounced together with a glottal stop. The glottal stop doesn't replace the consonant, it's pronounced simultaneously. This is one of the most distinctive features of the dialect. Finally, there are regional variations. The pronouncing of -er and -or at the end of a word as A is very common north of the Tyne and I associate it with Newcastle upon Tyne but less so south of the Tyne. I myself say these ending as -ə which is one of the ways you can tell I'm a south Tynesider. Canny video, mind. Keep up the good work, bonny lad. And listen to some Sam Fender.
I found this really interesting and informative. Thanks! I watch a lot of British shows and have become used to most accents but recently I had to turn on the subtitles for a show set in Glasgow! In Canada, people in different parts of a province can have distinctive accents and people in some rural areas speak differently than those in a nearby city. Thanks again!
Thank you for your videos! I’m learning a lot from them and the way you’re explaining complicated things is just brilliant. I have to regularly communicate with many people across the UK and Ireland for work, and that’s…complicated😅 no idea what my personal accent will be like influenced with Scottish, Irish, Cockney, Brummie and Northern mixture😂 ps after a year living in the UK, never heard anyone speaking RP here though😂
Im Northern British from Cheshire and I have to say a well spoken Cheshire accent is my favourite, think Ken Barlow on Coronation St. I live in London now and I dont really like the Estuary English or Cockney accent particularly or Scouse if its strong. To me more neutral accents are nicer to hear. Im sure your video was of great help to your non British viewers who might not know all the many accents we have here, and how there can be variations even in a small village.
Extremely interesting, I would say. Some accents are kind of easy to understand but others...gosh! "RP" is what some of us call "standard English"? Amazing how people can still communicate with so many different accents.
everyone always says west country sounds really strong like that, tbh, theres a twang in most places but its only really places like bristol where it's quite strong , the rest seem more watered down... (im from somerset)
Top English British was I want to accent speak learnt: 5:32 Brummie accent (simple accent only pronounced "R" became, "H") 9:11 Scouse Accent 10:30 Yorkshire accent 12:37 and finally, Scottish accent ( I want to try learn it) Okay that's all wanna be to learnt British territory accent. thanks 🙏
The main point of the programme is that Hyacinth adopts a "posh" accent to distance herself from her working-class background, so her accent doesn't sound Scouse but more like a generic middle-class northern accent, which is quite similar in both Lancashire and Yorkshire. As it happens, Patricia Routledge, who plays Hyacinth, is from Birkenhead, just across the Mersey from Liverpool.
Trap/æ/ bath/ɑː/ Good food /ɡʉd/ /fʉd/ Good evening, Sir. I really appreciate very much for sharing this lesson. I am a great fan of accents learning. Thanks so much. 🥇🏅👍⭐🎖️🏆
I’m an American Anglophile, and there r 2 things that came to mind: 1) Americans of course usually use the shorter “a” sound in the bath/trap distinction. So much so that even when foreign words r clearly enunciated like for “Gangnam style”, Americans still mispronounce it with the shorter “a”. 2) after watching too many British celebrities on talk and panel shows, as well interviews of politicians, I’m starting to generally identify various regional accents. And after hearing this video, I was quite proud to correctly guess that Chris Martin is fr the West Country (born in Devon).
Ahh my favorites are Wiltshere and Northern Irish accent and I'm not comfortable at all with welsh but it seems interesting and so melodic 😅 Anyways thanks for the video. Love all yours🤗
I had been "stooding" in Liverpool and the first time I heard Scouse I thought I had been teleported to Albania! 😂 You have to get used to it to love it. Now, when I hear a woman speaking Scouse I feel like Voltaire¹ *_I have no idea what you're saying, but I love you anyway!_* 😂❤ ¹Voltaire was supposed to own the quote _I disagree with what you're saying, but I'll give my life for your right to say it!_
I’m from the USA, my friend from Manchester would argue that the Liverpool accent is different from his. Regardless, as an American, I find it painfully difficult to understand people from that area of Manchester/Yorkshire/Liverpool. We absolutely loved the series “no offense” on BritBox, but my God did we have to use subtitles.
Youd understand me very well I think, Im originally from Cheshire near Liverpool and have a more neutral RP way of talking with a bit of Cheshire there, I find strong Scousers difficult sometimes to understand so don't worry if you can't, also dialects and slang words unique to the area can be confusing like scran meaning food, saying a barm cake for a bun etc!
I am currently obsessed with David Tennant & Michael Sheen while I'm also a great fan of Louis Tomlinson so I'm trying to figure out what is different between the bbc accent, the doncaster accent and the scottish accent bc I can tell there is something different but I can't discover what it is on my own, also I've been trying SO HARD to have a decent british accent, so this is very very helpful, thank you
I decided to start watching this English-language channel to improve the pronunciation (and not only), since 2 months ago began to learn English. How do you feel about that? PS: thanks to Reverso translator.
Thank you for this amazing and involving video! I would like to ask you what accent does Tom Ellis have. I think his English is quite "pure". Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
My private tutor, Pamela Hargreaves, was from Croydon and she hated cockney. I live up north now I get mixed up with Croydon and West Yorkshire's accents, cuz people always say I have a posh accent and it's embarrassing. The only word with the letter T I tend not to pronounce is Britain. By the way, I am Brazilian and Portuguese is my mother almost forgotten language. Cheers
That was interesting. And thank you. Im American, and from the pacific northwest, where generally i tend to think of our speech as lacking an accent. But I dont know if thats really true, or if what i consider to be a lack of accent is truly just a unique accent unto itself? So I just wonder sometimes what the general perception is? Is what i consider a lack of an accent, just my own self-centered perception, or a regional accent? I dunno...
If you wouldn't say that some of the accents were from England, I would them classify as American accent. 🤣🤣 Not pun intended. By the way, Scottish accent is, at least for me, one of the most understandable ones from the video. But I prefer the RP accent, maybe due to having been educated as a child with this one (in order to learn English). Thanks for the video! ❤
Unfortunately, Scotland is always marginated when it comes to accent comparisons. England is covered 50 miles up and down the country in detail but in Scotland or Ireland it's not that different. In all the videos on the topic Scottish is reduced to just one accent but Highland Scottish sounds very different to Glaswegian which again is very different to Aberdonian/Doric. And ,of course, Scots and Gaelic is one thing and local varieties of English another one but to be fair, you have pointed out that it's not the same everywhere. It would be good to show it more.
Bristol is a City and County in its own right. And it is always' and has always been West Country. PS there are loads of different west country dialects, Bristol alone has two different dialects
like i mentioned in the video, i am only going to do 10 accents as the video would take took long to create, therefore, I couldn't go into such detail as you are requesting

I’m from the southern US, it’s pretty clear some of these accents had a lot of influence on the accents here. Particularly the Old South accent, you rarely hear anybody use it nowadays though.
You're really easy to understand, I don't even need the subtitles (despite my catastrophic English). Thank you
As a Mid-Atlantic American, I found this video fascinating. Watching UK programs, I couldn’t understand certain UK accents. Love the education!
Thank you.
I love British Accent , and I'm trying to speak English fluently 🙏🏼

Such a fun video, thanks! Irish is my favorite TBH.. I mean favourite 😛
4:25 sounds midwest American specifically closer to northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin to me
Two aunts and my mum from Liverpool can hold three conversations in tandem in fast forward. No-one would understand that. I couldn't.
It's an amazing video, i got many benefits from your explaining, and actor Roby really did a great job 💗.. thank you Chris 🦋💗
Everyone needs to watch all of the films he recommended in this video. He's got good taste!! "Snatch" is awesome!!
Im Northern British from Cheshire and I have to say a well spoken Cheshire accent is my favourite, think Ken Barlow on Coronation St.
I live in London now and I dont really like the Estuary English or Cockney accent particularly or Scouse if its strong.
To me more neutral accents are nicer to hear.

Thanks for acknowledging Scotland's linguistic diversity! ❤️ Everyone thinks we are al Glaswegian.
9:07 Oh my gosh this accent is something. I just know it from somewhere a movie or a tv show.
Fistral Beach is absolutely beautiful. You should definitely visit.
It really is!
In many dialects ,The accent and the intonation change as well and makes it more difficult to understand for a spanish native speaker like me ..thanks
Top English British was I want to accent speak learnt:
5:32 Brummie accent (simple accent only pronounced "R" became, "H")
9:11 Scouse Accent
10:30 Yorkshire accent
12:37 and finally, Scottish accent ( I want to try learn it)
Okay that's all wanna be to learnt British territory accent. thanks 🙏
An example of the Yorkshire accent is in the tv series Keeping up appearances
I always thought Daisy and Onslow were scousers
@@deanbianco4982, Daisy and Onslow are scousers but sometimes Hyacinth when she's frustrated with Richard uses a Yorkshire accent
The main point of the programme is that Hyacinth adopts a "posh" accent to distance herself from her working-class background, so her accent doesn't sound Scouse but more like a generic middle-class northern accent, which is quite similar in both Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Essex accent is funny for me ,I would have liked you to talk about this accent.
Next time 😎
It is indeed!
I'm wondering whether students are taught RP or regional accents in schools in the UK.
Normally RP
@@InstantEnglishUKlmao nah that's so wrong
People don't get taught their native accents at school 😆 that's not how it works, and we certainly don't get taught RP!
Only Tories learn RP in school.
Depends where the teachers from
Recommending movies and shows was the best thing

The way you speak sounds so clear and beautiful. What accent are you speaking in? Very proper.
I was born in Oxford, grew up in just outside
Is it possible for you to reference programs on American TV where we could hear the different accents? Thanks, love your videos.
sorry i don't know anything about American TV

Question: what’s the accent that the cast of ‘MisFits’ has? Cause I love that accent and can listen to it all day
Hi ! I'm from Russia)I like to watch you videos. My dream is to speak English fluently^^)
Brilliant!
What accent is it when Brits add an "r" sound to a word that ends in "a"? In Oasis' song, "Champaign Supernova-r" for example.
Rp - the best of accents ❤
Nice, but where is Essex one?
