Christina and Lauren are two of the most likable people i've ever seen , it's enjoyable and funny watch them together
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Lauren is hot, is she single?
Agree!
The Irish girl sounded so American ngl. Like some of her "R"s are like a whisper of an Irish accent, but she sounded like an Irish person who moved to the US in their teens and lived for a decade lol
IKR!! I have some Irish friends and they sound nothing like her!
When she says I am your father I said irish
Saoirse Ronan sounds more Irish than her.
@@MinhNguyen-ff6xf saoirse ronan has as irish an accent as can be. She has a noticeable dublin accent.
This girl in the video has probably watch a lot of American TV but she still sounds irish
@@liukin95 lots of kids now I ireland have a good bit of American in their voices cause of TV and youtube
This was a slightly difficult challenge! 😆 Hope yall enjoyed watching!~ Christina 🇺🇸
❤️❤️❤️
Was it difficult? I got every one right. You got every one right. Maybe you just second guessed yourself too much so it felt more difficult than it was.
Have a nice day, Christina!
"I am your father" i know the phrase is from Star Wars right ?😂 Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker
It really was😊
Lauren here 🇬🇧 this challenge was SO difficult, I went in with confidence but not being able to see anything really made me question everything I was hearing😂😂😂 hope you enjoyed!💚
🙂 we all adore you both. But I wouldn't have allowed you to ask questions about their countries, because you should have based your guess only on their accent. 😀 👍
❤️❤️❤️
South African English and NZ accents are real close . Sometimes its hard for Native speakers to distinguish between them. A major way to tell them apart South Africans turns most verbs to an "aa" eg: "fight" sounds close to "fart" and NZ switched their vowels to an "I" sound so eg: "deck" sounds closer to "dick"

One of the best things that happened to me in 2021 was find this amazing channel , thank you all
Me also
You're not the only one. Glad I bumped into this channel
Make it 3
I get why they confuse our New Zealand accent with a variant of the South African accent - we share the flat vowels with our friends over there. Countless times when I'm overseas I have been asked if I'm South African. To complicate things a lot of Kiwis have surnames of Dutch origin much like myself.
I get those accents mixed up. Just last week I met a South African who I had thought initially was from New Zealand. I asked if he spoke Africaans and he said yes.
@@anndeecosita3586 I confuse Australian and New Zealand accents. Maybe they're not very distinct. My only examples are two actors, Manu Bennett and Marton Csokas. For a while I thought they were Aussies.
The guy from New Zealand actually reminded me of South African actor Cliff Simon (Ba'al in the Stargate SG-1 series, recently passed away, sadly). Thought the guy would turn out to be from SA.
I knew pretty quick that he wasn't from SA but then I had to work out if he was from aus or nz. I worked it out when he prenounced was waz
@@MattHunX They are distinct to us haha
Christina and Lauren are a great duo , but yes i miss Grace from Australia 🇭🇲 and these three are awesome
I miss her too :")
Omg yeah where she been
The situation in Australia is quite concerning
I like those three ladies and also Cameron. It’s nice to have a Southerner also get some representation for the USA since Christina is a Yankee and the culture and speech is different.
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 What situation? I hope you're not falling for that lockdown crap. We haven't been in lockdown for weeks.
I stumbled into this channel a few days ago, and I can’t stop watching it!! I like ALL the folks here, but really enjoy Christina and Lauren! Perhaps because they were on the first few vids I saw! Please keep making these wonderful vids!! They make me smile!
This channel is so fun. I really like watching these two. They're all great to watch.
I love that they included a pic of Grace! I hope she returns soon.
For the NZ guy, I thought he sounded a bit like the way the PM speaks.
Missing Miss Grace! Love these 3 together
The New Zealand accent is actually much closer to South African than it is to Australian, particularly with the vowels. You'll always get a Kiwi mad if you say they sound Australian, but South African is an acceptable mistake.
As a kiwi, our accent is not at all like South Africans. Much closer to Australia. The NZ guy in this video did say things, especially the Betty sentence, very South African, but that’s not the typical accent.
@@jacquiwallens9930 I'll have to disagree with you when you say Kiwis don't sound anything like South Africans. I'm a South African and I notice a lot of similarities in the vowels when I speak to New Zealanders. I get confused for a Kiwi quite often here in the UK. I'm from Cape Town and I'm an "English" South African so that's probably why. I think that Aussies and Kiwis sound more similar, but there are similarities between all three.
@@slagathor54 im a kiwi but where i come from south africans sound like out of this world so much slang in my town probably not in the big smoke but round here its another ball game al together i think that we are traditionly quite auzzie sounding
@@jacquiwallens9930 I think it’s kinda closer to South African. I get mistaken for an English speaking South African all the time and I’m from Mairangi Bay lmaooo
I find that an odd thing to say. The South African accent is very distinctive and is heavily influenced by both Afrikaans and other African languages. They trill their Rs and vowels tend to be quite different. There is a friendly rivalry between NZ and Australia but the truth is the accents are similar with some key differences - notably the pronunciation of i (as in bit) and e (as in bet).
The Kiwi man doesn't have the typical NZ accent where the letter E turns into an I. 😅 Although in some words he kinda has it; when he say Lit's and Bitty. 😅
Also his I's weren't as "flattened" as a lot of Kiwi's have them. Sometimes when a Kiwi says "bit" is sounds like "butt" to some other English speakers.
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 people that live abroad tend to standardise the way they speak
Yeah, that's why it wasn't as obvious to me. But I could tell it definitely wasn't SA and they just had an Aussie on so purely by process of elimination, I guessed it.
I had so much fun. 😅 That was so amazing! I hope you'll repeat it in a future 👌
I'm South African and with the last guy I immediately knew it wasn't my accent but then when he said that "Betty wanted to get a better water heater" line I was thinking he sounds like exactly how I would have said it and was thinking it might be SA 😂
kiwis don't really emphasize the T like this guy did
I'm not from South Africa but I was similar. I thought he was from New Zealand until that sentence and then I changed my guess to SA
I'm Australian, I've lived and worked with my fair share of Kiwis so I'm very familiar with the Kiwi accents, and I'm convinced he deliberately said that Betty line to sound more South African to throw them off.
It's funny, when the first girl said potatoes, I was thinking she still could be from Idaho. Her shirt makes you think Ireland, of course, and when Lauren talks about her accent being very sweet and kind. The Irish accent is very friendly, bouncy, sort of more like singing than speaking.
Her accent isn't very Irish. If I had to guess she might have a Galway City accent which sounds very American sometimes.
Her accent isn’t that Irish. If I were blindfolded I’m not sure I would have guessed where she came from … and I _am_ Irish. The tone is Irish but the accent sounds American.
@@cacamilis8477 Dia dhuit, a Cháca Milis! 😃👍🇮🇪 Why do they speak like that in Galway City? It sounds really weird.
@@Clodaghbob Dia is Muire duit! I dont know the reason, but thats what it seems like.
@@Clodaghbob It's definitely an Irish accent; slight American creep in mostly with a consonant and vowel.
So excited 🥰
Lovely ❤
You both and your all videos are Amazing. I enjoy your all videos and I learn a lot from both of you. But I like and really love to the British accent & Lauren also.
As an Aussie i picked the Australian and New Zealand accents right away. I find the easiest way to tell is the way the vowels are used, particularly with the E and I's. When Bingo is said the New Zealander say it more like "Bengo"
A heavy NZ accent is easy to pick. They replace all vowels with the letter 'e'
You two are so cute and I love your videos. Happy New Year to you all
Speaking as someone from Dublin, the first girl sounded American to me too lmao
It seems Irish embraced American accent and culture
Yes! The only word she didn't sound American on is "later"
Ah I could hear irish in her accent but ye typical person who was influenced by American TV. You will hear this more and more young ppl talk like this. I'm a teacher and I hear kids talk and I'm like wtf is up with your accent
Love the chemistry between Lauren and Christina 😍
I've become a regular on this channel because of this duo. And I'm learning a lot rather than my english professors have taught me 😭
Seems like your English is coming along quite nicely. It's great that you're learning another language 😊
I'm an amateur linguist and this is one of my go to channels for studying accents.
Great video and Happy New Year! 👏 🥳 🎉 🎇
Happy new year , everyone 🥳
Can't wait for local dialect ones. 😊
Favorite duo ❤️❤️
We need more video in new year we love ❤️ your videos
Amazing 👏
I love Christina and Lauren! My favorite people on this series ~
The American and British dictionaries are very different, because they were compiled by two very different authors with two very different perspectives on language: the UK's dictionary was compiled by scholars from London (not Oxford, for some reason) who wanted to just collect all known English words.🥰🥰🥰🥰
As French. I love both American and British English. Doesn't matter the preference
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Or as the French would say, “préférence”
@@tyunpeters3170 Happy New Year buddy. Bonne année. Best Wishes. Health, Happiness and Long life
English and French vocaburies is quite similar
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 because of 1066.
There is an English tv show called ‘blackadder’. In the third series there is an entire episode about the first dictionary. The show is an irreverent comedy so don’t take it seriously, but it does make you think about dictionaries in a different way.
Brilliant. Loved it! I'm an Aussie and I heard an interview once where Peter Sellers said the NZ accent was the hardest for him to do. I imagine an Aussie accent wasn't far behind.
It would be interesting to do this with smaller English-speaking countries. I am thinking Singapore, Nigeria, Grenada, Hong Kong - countries like that.
Cool format :)
Interesting!! 👏👏👏
Now that I think about it, I had a South African teacher and a Kiwi teacher, and their accents were very similar.
Or could be the fact that they were both really firm but fair that they sounded the same to me.
The best way to tell if someone is from New Zealand is to ask them to say fish and chips, if it sounds like the strangest thing you have ever heard then you know they are from New Zealand.
hello I am from sri Lanka and I am a university student l want to come to New Zealand please tell me how to do that and how to get citizenship in NEW ZEALAND😍😘
Wow. They've been most in Asia countries. Eitheir way, Christina and Lauren always look beautiful and graceful.
Cannot travel due to this Omicron. Hopefully, I will meet them someday when it's all over.
Happy New Year in advance everyone. Bonne Année ! 🎇🎆🎉🎊🍾🥂
Best wishes, meilleur vœux !
Santé, Bonheur et Longue vie ! 🇫🇷
Health, Happiness and longue life !🇺🇸🇬🇧
Bonne Année à toi et Santé! 🎉🎆🍾

Now do a video where you guess the country of second language speakers of English! That would be challenging and fun.
Invite the European Union 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇪🇦🇵🇹🇱🇺🇧🇪🇳🇱🇩🇰🇦🇹🇵🇱🇭🇷🇬🇷
That's already a video
Finally Christina and Lauren together again
I love Lauren's UK accent.
this was really interesting, as an american, I wouldn't have guessed the irish one, I'd thought she was canadian, but the australian I was instantly suspect he was australian, and since I've had many kiwi friends especially the new zealander, at first I wasn't sure but when I tried mimicking it and I realized I'd done flawless a kiwi impression it became so obvious how 100% kiwi every miniscule little mannerism, vowel, consonant and intonation he made was, it felt kind of wild because I hadn't heard a kiwi in a long time and it felt like a whole language I had long forgotten was suddenly coming back to me all at once 😂
Que hermosos acentos🤩
How interesting it would be 😍💙
Christina and Lauren did a great job here at guessing these different accents. The first one I really thought she was from the USA, haha.
As for Australia and New Zealand, I don't know much about it so I would've been hard for me to sort them out.
I'm a Kiwi and the Australian had a very mild accent that was difficult to pick even for me. Generally the difference is in the vowell sounds with Aussies stressing their A, E, and I sounds more and they also sometimes go up at the end of a sentence which makes it seem like a question. Honestly though we get so much American TV here that I often don't notice the American accent at all on video and can hear the Kiwi one which is really weird. Not true in person.
I like the French girl Morgane. She was really building up her confidence. Bring her back. Welcome back Lauren :-) Hope you all are enjoying your New Year celebrations.
I can't take off eyes from Lauren 😀
I have been to Colombia🇨🇴 , Peru🇵🇪, Venezuela🇻🇪, Guyana🇬🇾 and Brazil🇧🇷 , but i would love to travel to others countries in the world 🌍🌎🌏
What do you think about Brazil? Was there any time in your life you thought we brazilians speak spanish?
Happy New Year to all! Wish you all the best!💛🥳
Her name is Eimear... That's an Irish name 🤗
I'm a non-native English speaker who had lived in Ireland very briefly...when listening to the first guest I never thought it's an Irish accent until when she said farmer...but when she said potatoes I suddenly felt like she's probably an Irish American 😂
I think she's most likely from the posh D4 area 😆
Irishman born and bred here. You're right, she barely sounds Irish. She's either a westbrit or she spent a lot of time overseas.
@@HarlequinWolf I heard more people in Dublin say something like 'B'day-us' instead of regular potatoes.
p.s. Ireland taught me the difference between potato crisp and chip so I'm sticking with that too. 🤗
You did good because I could not distinguish Australian from New Zealand... and both also do sound somewhat like South African... it would be hard... but again it's very difficult to distinguish lots of accents... like the US has many different accents just on it's own.
So prior to this ive watched pleny of the videos so i knew that Eimear was from Ireland. However to me it sounded very accented more towards american english than what im used to from irish youtubers like Brian (Terroriser), David (Daithi de Nogla), and Sean (Jacksepticeye). I think fore Ireland, too, its like the UK and Us where your accent can vary depending on what area you came from.
These ladies are the kind you’d want to be your bff’s. 😊 My American ears get South African Afrikaners accent mixed up with New Zealand too.
Aussie here and I picked the Aussie and the Kiwi straight off. The Irish woman was harder - it really did sound like she had a slight American accent. I was tempted to say Canadian for her.
Oh myyyy. I missed the trio LCG or Lauren, Christina, and Grace 😭😭 Grace, where are yyouuuuu?
Hi Christina, are you ok?
Christina, Brazilian people are one of the most people to visit the USA each year. In Brazil, we speak Portuguese and there is no one Portuguese or Brazilian in your channel. Think about and expand this lovely channel! Kisses and an incredible 2022!!!
Agora a gente tem :D
I'm American and live in England. I'm always mistaken for Irish and I never understood why until I met an Irish woman a few years ago who I thought was from the southern US. We sounded exactly the same.😂
Let's go a little bit off-topic what is the skincare routine of both of you girls, please make a video.
I'm South African and I was positive that the last guy was South African too.
Hi Laurenkatemassey
British pronunciation v.nice
Yup, I think I'm accepting the typos as this channel's signatures xD
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't tell the difference between S. African and New Zealand accents. I don't usually confuse NZ with AU though... and the word "father" is usually the tell... though this guy's was much softer than many I've heard.
Same I'm South African and his accent sounds nothing like mine. Except for the Betty water heater line. That's exactly how I would say it.
Happy new year to all!
We have various English dialects in 🇿🇦 At school, in the 70s, we were taught RP, though.
It would be soooo fun if you did sweden also
First girl the vowels gave her away. Very soft irish accent, but ye I would have said ireland
Rory is cute tho
I'm an American. I have three cousins born, raised and living in Ireland. Their mother's name is also Emer, but _this_ Emer sounds WAY more like _me_ than she does any of my Irish family. And that family is from Dublin, so it's not as if they sound like the deep-country Irish folk in those CZcams clips.
I think the guy, Rory, is from the west coast of Australia. My ex-girlfriend was Australian (originally from Launceston, Tasmania, but I met her in Armidale about 50 miles from Sydney) and she had the "typical" Australian accent. Years later I ran into a girl that had an accent I couldn't quite place. She sounded British but also faintly Australian yet it wasn't particularly strong either way. Found out she was from Perth and she mentioned that the west coast Australian accent wasn't as strong as the accent most are used to.
Armidale is just under 300 miles from the Sydney CBD, and it takes 5hrs 40mins to get there.
@@alexpackard9138 Been over 20 years, was in the US Navy at the time when we pulled into Sydney. I do remember I had to submit a special request through my chain of command because Armidale was beyond the 250 mile range allowed for liberty call. Mixed up my references, the 50 mile figure was the rough distance BEYOND the allowed range.
Considering I hopped a 30-minute flight on a little Qantas Propeller plane with only 2 dozen or so other passengers, the 300 miles naturally of course make a lot more sense. In fact my request only got approved because I was able to show that in the event of an emergency recall I could get back within the 24-hour period because a flight from Armidale back to Sydney would take less than an hour. Wish I could go back and visit Australia, but right now I don't think I'll get another chance.
New Zealanders have an ebsolutely fentestuc eccint. It's so easy to distinguish for me. You can tell it's obviously a Pacific Islander accent, but it's much less rounded than Aussie.
Also, shout out to Lauren for repping the UK so well and being entirely non-judgemental about other people's differences in accents and vocabulary.
How on earth can you hear the Australian guy and think he's Scottish, hahaha. Also as an Australian I can say that Dylan has a very mild NZ accent. Also we can tell he's not from South Africa. It's almost like they can't hear the same way we do! Native English speaking accents are so easy for me haha.
Christina Lauren duo are back
You should do Canada but not a standard Canadian accent but one from the East Coast, depending on where you are on the East you would think you were talking to someone from Scotland or Ireland
I would like to see a second part of this video, but with non-native English speakers.
I just still cannot belive that Irish accent. I mean, I am not native Eglish speaker, so I am not very good with recognizing accents, but still, I thought I could guess something. I am used to hearing like Saoirse Ronan or Catriona Balfe type of Irish accent and this was just soooo different.
I've missed these two ngl
new zealanders say tent pole like 'tint pole'. good way to check. Also the irish girl 100% has an american accent. She changes her T's to D's. water = wader, etc.
That's a pretty typical feature of a north of Ireland accent though. The standard American accent seems to be pretty influenced by Ulster-Scots planters - hence the hard 'r's and soft 't's
New Zealand accents seem like Australian except for the occasional vowels that are really distinctive. Like Taika Waititi is really clearly kiwi as Korg in his Thor movies.
I've always liked the south African accent too but it seems not nearly as common. (I think when we sat "south african" accent most English speakers mean the accent of English native language south Africans, who are a small minority)
Happy New Year guys
This topic is interesting because with Spanish 🇪🇸 also happens among Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Cuba, Chile, Perú, Honduras, ...
Shame they didn't bring Grace in to surprise them and see if they recognised her voice.
🤣 can you imagine? Lol
When I hear a difference between New Zealand English and Australian English, it's in the short "i" sounds, like it "little bit," which may have been absent from your sample sentences.
Hello I'm from Cambodia 🇰🇭
The Irish girl sounded American, but not quite. I kept thinking...maybe Canadian? I was quite wrong.
I must say u guys have got really nice blue and green eyes..
I envy u😅
New Zealand and Aussie accents sounds the exact same to me. I’m sure there is a slight difference, but I don’t hear it. South African, Irish, and Brit are very distinct.
Happy new year in advance, to all 🥰
I miss Grace so much xD!
So I was like 30% watching because some say's I kinda sound British. But 70% of it is I just wanna see Lauren. ♥️♥️♥️
I clicked on this video thinking that there would be accents from the country England, not other English language speaking countries 😂😂
What about Belizean or Guyanese English?
OMG having lived in NZ, I didn't have anything '' off'' about the Kiwi, and l thought he sounded' 'regular'. Until the girls started saying South Africa, l am like yeah nahh!!
im also from new zealand :)
Here I thought I hadn't traveled much, being to only 25 countries in 4 continents..
I cannot believe people can't tell the aussie and kiwi accents apart!
The last guest completely 100% South African ( and I'm South African)... And then BOOOM! New Zealand.... Damn... I guess I don't know what an English South African accent sound like.... 😳
For me, this is not because I'm a Filipino or my country is just belong to the top 5 English speaking country in the world, but I want to see a Filipino guests here... I'm just referring to the name of this channel WORLD FRIENDS so maybe this is a good idea to put other countries here. And for some interested people who are reading this, Filipinos are really friendly... Not just complimenting my fellow Filipino, just saying the fact and Just putting it here, maybe it's not that so bad to get a Filipino friends to guest here. But this is just my viewpoint, this is still your channel.
That guy wants to go on double date 😄
I wonder if different parts of one country say things a bit different depending on the part like we do in the us.
That New Zealand accent was very neutral. When I hear the accent I think of the people that drop all the vowels when they speak. Classic quote would be fsh nd chps. Or when they say six it sounds like a cross between sex and sux.
