      That was something that came through how weird a single word sounds and then when you put it in a actual sentence the scouse Accent really comes alive. My Dad is a Scouser so always loved the accent, but it was weird hearing single words, and then you hear a whole sentence with the word in and.... yeah

    It’s a unique accent mainly because it’s heavily influenced by its maritime history with a myriad of sailors from around the world passing through the city and settling there, influencing its language. At one point the city had very large populations of Irish, Scots, Jewish, Welsh, Chinese and Afro-Caribbean. Many Europeans also passed through the city on their way to the US and inevitably some settled there.
    It tends to be spoken at a fast pace as well which adds to the difficulty of comprehension.
    The word “Scouser” comes from a popular Scandinavian stew called “Lob Scouse”.

My Birkonian accent is not as strong as the Liverpool accent but, having lived in the US, for the past 40 years, I've had the most terrible trouble being uderstood. Mostly, at drive ups, I gave up ordering food 40 years ago, because I always got the wrong food, these days, I only order inside and, still, with difficulty. 😂 I can see that a scouser, would have much more trouble than me. Also, the word scouser comes from a food dish, made in the Liverpool/Birkenhead area, usually a type of cheap stew. I was born during the second world war, and scouse was a popular meal.

    'Scouse' is just a word for a stew. Comes from a Scandinavian word for a stew that sailors used to eat (I think). It is a port city. It apparently used to be an offensive term for people from Liverpool but doesn't have that connotation these days. You can still get a bowl of scouse in some places. Proper scran that la (la = lad). I've lived up here most of my life now but don't have the accent alas. I had family from up here so I knew most of the words already but still had some things to learn. The first time someone said "Sorry for gegging in". You're doing what now? Are you feeling OK? Thought she might have meant gagging and that she was going to be sick or something. Can't believe they talked about the scouse 'k' without mentioning chicken. That always seems to come up. There's a series of videos about British accents by a channel called Babbel which I'd recommend.

    When watching videos like this, I often wonder why many Scandinavians put so much emphasis on "correct" English pronunciation (usually meaning RP, Oxford, or American). Because there is often an english accent where our way of saing a certain word is "right". In this case "come" and "up". The scouse version sound almost exactly like casual Swedish "kom" and "upp".

    Hi, Ryan! For me as a german "fake bake" (with a Liverpool-accent) sounds like dutch, and "come here" sounds german! 😀 ....and "th" sounds like a german trying to speak english who is not able to pronounce the english "th" with his tongue an his teeth. In this case the german would say "d" or "s". Mostly "s".... Maybe TOTALLY wrong, but my OWN imagination about all this is that in the early days - maybe middle age - many people have had bad teeth/ or to few teeth or something like that - espacially the poor, right? So I think, that parents passed this mispronunciation on to their children and so on. Who knows, maybe also a well-respected person, so that people began to speak like him! Sometimes this still happens even today, because of a famous pop star or actor or even youtuber or whatever. But today there are much more influences than in former days. And everything gets faster...🤓. Can someone agree with that???😶

    Hi there! I’m an ESL speaker, I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to spend 5 days in Liverpool in ‘98. Still a marvellous memory, it is a lovely place! I have to admit though that our local host was needed as a translator, as I didn’t catch a word of what the waitress said:) And the same thing happened again and again, at a certain point we were involved in a short discussion with a local aristocrat (I learnt that later, when we met I just thought: poor guy, sg is really wrong with him), I have no facts, but up to this day I think he was talking about Ukrainian prostitutes. In a nutshell, as an ESL person there you can tear apart your language certificate papers, have them blown by the wind, while yourself roaring a satanic laughter:) But a gourgeous place still❤️

    Don’t worry I can barely understand a word scousers say. I worked with one Brookside nice geezer but took a lot of effort to decipher him but if you want an accent where every word is unintelligible. We had a geezer from Glasgow and whenever he came upstairs we would say alright and he would say a line and we would all go yeah yeah not having understood a single word. I worked with him for years and the only word I remember correctly was his Christian name.

Featured in "Peaky Blinders". :)) Also a good channel for the Brummie accent as it's also called is Smashing English. The lady on that channel is from Birmingham herself and uses the TV show for teaching that accent.

    *RYAN*
    We have over 40 accents, if you drive half an hour down the road the accent starts changing. The Scottish and Irish accents are when I start to think i need a translator on standby...and I'm British through and through! 🤣
    It all stems from our original separate tribes / invaders / settlers etc from hundreds if not thousands on years ago. English itself is a Germanic language, but we also have a lot of french woven into it.
    The way she was teaching is pretty much how we are taught English, lots of emphasis on correct pronunciation of letter sounds or letter combos. They messed around with curriculum since I was at school, and not for the better in my opinion, but children are taught phonetically, how it should SOUND not necessarily how it looks like it should sound. It's probably why we say that Yanks have butchered our language.
    I get why you would find English and Australian English as similar sounding, a lot of us Southerners in England have Australian twangs in our pronunciation, i even hear it in myself particularly if I say the word no. Daft but true. 😁 They also speak at a similar speed to us, and have the same way of expressing themselves. They have a ton of slang words that we don't use but do know, so their sentence may have completely different words in it, but the way they've used those words is very similar to us. They also have a far more relaxed attitude to swearing, same as we do. We both swear a LOT! It's a silly concept to me, to consider some words as bad...the context in which they're used should be what matters in communication.
    A good example of that is the N word....ending gga amongst black people, acceptable Vs ending in gger from a white person to a black person, let's hope you know how to fight! The word itself is not the issue, it's the context in which it's used that matters to us and Australians typically, whereas Americans often get caught up on individual words being "wrong" and miss the overall meaning. If I ever have to explain my meaning to someone, 95%+ of the time, it's an American taking offence to something that wasn't even intended to be offensive. I've never once been misinterpreted by an Australian. Watch them all come for me now I've said that! 😂
    I went out with a scouser for two years, it took six months before my Mum understood a word he said! 🤣 I could mimic the musical tone of their accent, but their T sounds and K sounds are EXTREMELY difficult to do. It's a bit like how easily the French can roll their R's without thinking about it, and I just cannot do it!
    Thinking about it, I've noticed that everyone BUT America it seems, is very acquainted with other English speaking countries' slang or alternative words. I'm sure there are some Australian terms I'm not familiar with, but like i said, they structure their sentences very similarly to us, so it's often fairly easy to guess what it means by the context in which it's used. Most of the UK I'd say, knows a TON of Americanisms and word usage, but you don't tend to know our versions in return.
    One that gets me is "do you want a soda?" and I know that means a can of fizzy drink....but like, is that as specific as the question gets? Are tea, coffee, juice or water not to be offered to guests and reserved for members of the household only? That's not a deep question, I'm being curious, sarcastic and humourous all at once, so don't take me as ridiculing your way of speaking. I understand what the question means, but we just wouldn't say that here, as there's a variety of fizzy drinks available, and the question doesn't tell us what options you currently have in your fridge. We would say "do you want a drink" and the person would reply with, tea or coffee or just some water please, at which point we may say, "well if you'd prefer a cold drink I do have fresh apple juice, coke or lemon squash instead of plain water?" so we're just more detailed and specific with our words.
