"Even I would watch Peaky Blinders with subtitles on" - Cillian Murphy
He said that?
@@eldoc5901 yeah I guess 😅, I found it through one of his fan accounts.
I don't understand people from Liverpool and Austrália.
cillian is irish right
@@nizu4378 yes

If you understand what these men are saying,you can understand anybody😄😅
That's easy. Arthur is the worst....
@@cboydcoy5242 agreed
@@cboydcoy5242hell nah, Alfie is the worst
Surprisingly, despite being a foreigner, I understood the dialects perfectly, including the ones in this video! You're a very good teacher
Actually it maybe connected (the fact you are a foreigner and the fact you understood) because native speakers of English usually have a bias towards their accent unknowingly, so when they hear another accent they usually will not understand it. But the foreigner doesn't have this kind of bias. I'm a foreigner too so I learned my English from a lot of sources so I usually will understand most of the accents I hear.
@@dovnotarius2825 could you please tell some of your sources ?
Right!! It happened to me too and your explanation makes so much sense :0
@@tiagozimermann9028 I dont know, maybe its because you only learned American English and only heard murica accent. BTW I love the sideman.
@@ruunsaid976 Im not a scientist, I speak from personal experience. Its just the thing that makes the most sense to me.
I think Brits generally have a very good ear for deciphering accents because we're used to hearing a variety of them. I didn't realise people as far down as Birmingham used "our" when talking about close family members, eg "our John". I always thought that was a very northern thing.
My dar use to speak doric lol
We usually say "That's our nan" or "our uncle went to the shops" although we never usually say "our *name* went to the shops" or "That's our *name* ", though I don't speak for everyone in Birmingham, this is just in my case.
Same as Aussies
i completely agree with you, i always find accents easy to decipher tbh the only ones i cant understand are those really thick irish accents
I love your enthusiasm and passion you put in your teaching 👏👏
I'm Brazilian, and I've been studying English by myself for the last 10 years and Peaky Blinders is by far the hardest content to understand that I ever seen. To me, the worst to understand is Arthur and Tommy as well some times, he's always whispering
The worst was for me Jons wife Esme. Cant figure the hell out what this woman is saying.
The worst for me was the female communist
The moment when youve lived in London for most of your life and are completely fluent and understand every accent- yet still watch this because you find it interesting and are amused by the quality of this content. Amazing teacher, very creative as well! Love your dedication in helping others learn English and the importance of varied accents!💜💜💜
Born and raised in Small Heath, now 71 and still living half a mile away, love my city, the people and the accent.
Same! Im 36 now ❤️
Thatˋs really my favorite accent! I worked for years with friends from the west mildlands and Birmingham. 👍
I am entirely fluent English, don’t speak any other language, and understand every single word of this show - and yet this video is still super entertaining
Wow I'm fascinated at how much I love watching your videos on Brummie accents
"Trust me... I've tried." I'm dead🤣
I really enjoyed these videos with Peaky Blinders! It would be nice if you can do other lessons with different movies/ series similar to this one. These lessons are extremely entertaining and I can learn without getting bored. Thank you a lot for all the lessons that you provide for us❤!
I love this lesson! I am happy that I've found such a treasure on yt :D Cheers!
I really enjoy your Brummie Lessons! 😀 ❤
I love this Channel , please don't stop doing this kind of videos ♡♡♡
I'm American and the only one I got less than 90% right was the one with music in the background 😅 I usually am pretty good at understanding English accents because I've watched a lot of shows and celebrities with strong accents, like being an Arctic Monkeys fan definitely prepared me for this video lmao
Brilliant and pretty topical episode 👍 😃 especially for my family which is stuck on Peaky Blinders 🏴 With love from Polish Black Country - Upper Silesia ⚒️⚙️
I've finished this show until the latest season a year ago, and tbh I still understand pretty much of these lines well.
Love sitting back and just listening. Thanks!
Completed the series, it was very difficult in 1st season but after that i fall in love with the accent,
I love your teaching so fun and engaging. I'm indian i got about 95% right this feels satisyfying for some reason😂
I Bloody lUv that series gerl, always watchinit
great idea and well executed, congrats!!
As somebody from south east asia who didn't have english as their first language. I can understand what they were saying perfectly. What's harder is trying to understand the carribean accents that are common in California. I can understand the peaky blinders without subtitles but I stright up go whiplash when I met a jamaican guy on the bus.
I'm from South Asia, and I know what you're talking about. Had no problem watching this series. I struggled a bit with the Italian accent though. Haven't really faced someone with Carribean accent.
I literally love your tommy shelby accent. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude, I really laughed hard with the Alfie Solomons imitation. Just like him. Please do more of these PB videos! So funny!
es excelente este Ingles...muy dificil de entender y hay que seguir aprendiendo...gracias smashing English...
I've watched PB many times that I've learned the words by heart :)
Dude, you're good at what you do! Cheers from Colombia!
Great job Laura
You are a joy to watch and hear!
Love this so much, could you please do it more
How can you beat a child with a house? Trust me, I've tried. 😂😂😂
omg i enjoyed this video, thank you, i learned so much😇
Different parts of Birmingham have variations in the accent…more broad near Dudley and Black Country area..milder in SW area.
Okey I must watch and listen this English learning of yours just to have a knowledge about uk accents...
You made me watch peaky blinders and i love watching Your videos 😄
Very much good explaination
Bloody great videos! Love them Peaky f#@kin Blinders! ❤️🤓
You were absolutely great in this episode.
I'm from North West England (South Lancashire) and have no problem understanding the Birmingham accent despite our accents being very different. The two most impenetrable British accents have to be Geordie (Newcastle) and Glaswegian (Glasgow). If you want an example, the British classic sitcom 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet' has some strong Geordie accents whilst something like 90's comedy 'Rab C. Nesbitt' showcases a thick Glaswegian accent. Good luck understanding either if you're not used to them.
I once met a man from Cumbria and could not understand a word, really weird experience. Glasgow and Geordie were not too bad in comparison 😂
As an american, i got about 30-90% per scene depending on who was sayin what.
ok
Guys, it’s sarcasm. Obviously Peaky Blinders isn’t a ‘little TV show’… it’s a joke… sarcasm… where you say the opposite of what is true to make a joke…
Roight well dun
Explaining sarcasm feels like your letting a secret out lol
(It's customary in russian royal house else to check for which statue before engage you .... business ) i think that what he said correct me if i'm wrong
Thanks to me I read the comment of urs , I really got shocked when u said little 😐
P
I'm a non native English speaker and right through Birmingham Accent...😂 Nice video!
you are amazing teacher
I really like it. You're amazing🤩
Thanks very much very interesting and different way learning brithish English thanks a lot Aberdeen

Im from there so i understand it easy, but find it fascinating learning about it ❤️
Thank you excellent
This is amazing. Lesson.
Highly fascinating channel 👍😁
I am from Derbyshire and I struggled to understand it! I have friends from the Black Country and they talk so fast!! 😂😂
I suddenly fell in love with this accent
I love the different accents of the English language. This one from Birmingham is quite challenging.
Also beautiful🎉❤
Woah that alfie impression is spot on!
I'm actually more invested in mr.thomas shelby the person than the plot and drama of the show content
Fun video!! Any thoughts on making more like this? Perhaps try to translate Brad Pitt's Mickey from the movie Snatch.
Pretty challenging at first lol
It just feel good ur attitude 👌
Good thing about being Northern Irish is that we can perfectly understand Irish, Scottish and all English accents
Notice how you left Welsh out... Because even they don't know what the fuck they're on about
@@bozos373 LOL
“I’ve learnt a new thing Frances. There is no rest for me in this life. Perhaps the next one. “💯
Hahaha ...I really enjoy listening to ya 🎩
I can't believe that i found this Channel i'm from Brazil nd i'm really fond in this channel, it's helping me a Lot to understand the british accent ❤❤❤thank you so much. love u❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘
Fascinating.
I can understand everything 😌.....cause I have watched peaky blinders many times🙄😂

i loved this video, im learning, im learning english and this was super fun due to my fangirl times with the peaky fockin blinders, new sub
You're a fantastic person!
When she does episode relating to Birmingham, she looks extra confident.😁
☺️🇬🇧
Thats a nice way to improve my englisch
oh my gosh you are amazing😂😂😂I foooking love ya
Fabulous!
Amazing video!!!!
Something like "Its customary in Royal Russian households to check for such tatoos before engaging a man in business" is what i've concluded.
Waiting for thissss❤️❤️❤️
This is exquisite!!
Don't know why, but I love this accent
Really nice video explaining the accent thing. I usually watch peaky blinders without the subtitles so I had no problem getting it
I'm born and bought up one mile from Small Heath South Birmingham. Lizzie and arthur have the most genuine sounding acsents. But you travel 20 miles north to what's called the Back country. Very difficult to comprehend
The Alfie dubbing was 100 accurate 🤣🤣
Complimenti per il video. You’ve been amazing.
I am proud to say, I understand the dialogues in The Peaky Blinders even with the captions turned off.
So do I and I live at least 20 miles from Birmingham!
After many years i rewatched the show with my wife in Russian (we’re bilingual) and my goodness everything made so much more sense 😂
But why your English is so clear ❤️
thank you
I thought I’m not that good in listening but surprisingly i understood every thing they said!
Their accent reminds me little bit of Johnny Depp. You should do some breakdown of his accent too it would be intersting. Nice video keep the good work!
Really enjoyed the show 😂
Kevin Bridges is great to learn accents too, plenty of videos available here on CZcams
Wow this makes me realize I wouldn't have understood Peaky Blinders without the subtitles!
This challenge for me was a 10% more difficult because I'm Hispanic and still learning English LMAO
I got it all I'm from Birmingham
I didn’t even need the video, I understood all this perfectly
You’re amazing 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t wait for season 6
Love this ladeeee
It´s not really a challenge to understand all that. Just in very few occasions, when they speak very fast and/or quiet or in local terms I´m unfamiliar with. Watched the whole series in english instead of german, made it so much better :)
I only could hear "it's customary in Russian courtyards ..." . Because I am Russian. And also was able to hear and recognise the English pronunciation of the word "lieutenant"just at once , as my last farther had been a lieutenant of the tank troops of the USSR and I'd crammed this word as long as in the previous century !!!
It's customary in russian royal households, to check for such tattoos before engaging a man in buisness.
Me: He said "I think there's a shell about to land and go bang."
The lecturer: No! Shame on you!
Me: But I'm from Birmingham, I legit deal with people like this everyday. :(
