      English Like A Native
      In this video for the word 'metre' you used the phrase 'don't forget to check the meter' as in electricity meter.Instead you used the word 'metre'-a unit of measurement-spelt differently of course.

      In some areas of the UK your accent can dictate what strangers think of you before they even know you. eg. On hearing a West Country, Geordie or Brummie accent people might wrongly assume you're thick. With a Scouse accent the assumption is that you're not trustworthy and always trying to scam someone. A general Scottish accent gives someone credibility which hasn't been earned yet and Black Country people are all assumed to be comedians.
      There's something calming and direct with a Manchester accent that you don't get elsewhere. Absolutely no airs and graces. It's comparatively easy for strangers to understand and it's warm and friendly just like the majority of people from that area!
      ps. Please don't think I'm biased as I don't have a Mancunian accent.

      @danellboy5757 Před rokem

      The American accents were developed when travelling around was a lot eaiser. British accents have a much older origin where people 20 miles away would barely come into contact. Because it wasn't as easy to meet people different to themselves accents diverged a lot. It's like when animals get trapped on a remote island and evolve differently, of course that takes a lot longer to happen than for an accent to change.

    Cora sounds more like shes from Oldham / Rochdale than straightforward manc, but it's largely spot on.
    Btw, as a manc, my mum would give us a clip round the ear if I ever said "Wevver" instead of "weather", so I reckon that's got more to do with class than regional accent.

      *EDIT:*
      Just above my first comment there was another one of a different user ("Jhon Doe") that offended this girl, affirming that she is ugly and other derogatory adjectives, so I answered to it posting the link above. Thus, just assumed that she is not sure, nobody is allowed to describe any woman in that way, nevertheless because he cannot be considered by her only... that motivates the link about "The Fox and the Grapes" story, where the fox denigrates the grapes just because the latter is too high placed on a vine to be catched by it only.
      Overall, that user deleted his comment after many other people ones, so I am writing this edit because now it may be difficult to understand what happened exactly.
      Moreover, I hope that my massage is not too grammatically wrang, because I did my best even if I know that is poor.

      Skriking is a term you'll hear in the north, not just Manchester, but yes the root is in Scandi
      but if you look around Manchester place names (or again, anywhere formerly under Danelaw) anywhere you see -hulme as a place name is derived from Scandinavian roots (so eg Levenshulme, Kirkmanshulme and, er, Hulme)
      'mere' also means a body of water, so Lake Windermere translates as Lake Winderlake, which gets me every time

It was hard in the beginning but I learned to love it and now I miss it so much. Expecially when you don't pronounce the 't' like 'water' and 'better'. You are lovely and your accent is beautiful.

      Even then, I'm from California and my family was originally from Texas/Oklahoma. I now live in in the Midwest and even though I have a typical "american" accent, which i think the influence of California culture on media played a significant role in establishing it as "standard", there are some distinct differences I've noted.
      Specifically:
      1. I tend to run my words together and drop the distinct pronunciation of vowels and syllables. For example, I've met two women named Elaine. (Forgive how i butcher the pronunciation here) One is from California and one is from Michigan. The California pronounces her name "uh-laine", de-emphasizing the E sound (which is how i pronounce it) and the one from Michigan pronounces her name "E-laine" with a strong E sound. Similarly, in Michigan there is a town named "Charlotte" which, in Michigan, they pronounce "Shar-lot" and I pronounce "Sharlet".
      2. There is an over-pronunciation of vowel sounds in the northern mid-west states and a substitution of the "D" sound for "Th" in a word. Typically called, at least in Michigan, the "Yuper Accent" (for Upper Peninsula) a saying like, "Oh, Hey there!" would sound like "OOh, hey dere!". Kinda hard to write, but the O sound is over emphasized and the H of "hey" is de-emphasized. I've heard similar accents in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.

    Just stumbled upon this entire series because of a convo I had a little while back. One of my friends was talking about "the British accent." I argued that there is no single British accent, just like there isn't just one single "American accent." People in Northern California - where we both live - speak differently than those from Southern California. And it's fairly easy to tell someone from Texas from someone from Alabama from someone from the Midwest US, New York, New England, etc, etc, etc. Of course, he understood that in an instant. But I sense that he still thinks there is only one British accent. Time to send him these videos!

    • @onlytruerose1333
      @onlytruerose1333 Před 3 lety +2

      I think the way that Americans generally pronounce 'a' is the same way that the Southern Irish pronounce it, as in 'last' or 'past'. Also the Irish say the word 'sure' so much in everyday life as in 'Sure, amn't I doing it, now!' The Americans say 'sure' a lot in their everyday life too. So many Irish went to America so maybe that was their contribution to the general American accent. I like to think so. I had a lot of ancestors that went from Ireland. I was born in Ireland and mainly brought up in Lancashire, so I have the benefit of both places which are lovely.
