- Today we're reacting to 9 vibrant British accents! Thank you to everyone who sent us video clips for this episode! ❤️️🎉❤️️🎉
We got so many great UK accents from you guys and we're sorry we weren't able to include them all! If you didn't see your clip in this video, stay tuned, we'll do another British accents video soon so you can submit clips accents/dialect clips again for that one!

Now a quick disclaimer: We understand that British accents are a bit like breaking ice - you make one crack and it splinters into a dozen more cracks. Likewise, it’s almost impossible to find a single “Liverpool” accent, for example, because while the accents in that region may sound similar to outsiders, upon closer inspection you’ll find that accents differ village to village, street to street, and probably house to house. So when we play a clip of, say, a Chelsea accent, we’re not saying it’s the only accent from Chelsea, just that it’s one of the many accents you’ll encounter in that part of the UK.

Blaenau is pronounced Blei-nai (bl'eye n'eye). Welsh accents, particular those of the Valleys, are often described sing-songy, with rolled r's and elongated rounded vowel sounds.
Eric's imitation was pretty good :)

As a Northern Irish person, people on the mainland often make me say " How, now, brown cow" or "Howard went for a power shower", thinking it is hilarious!
We need a real Birmingham accent,
There's regional scouse accents which you would pick up on. The youths put on a much stronger coarser accent like in "The Scousers"
Sharon has a little Liverpool accent there
'The Welsh accent sounds like a bird singing in the morning'
That has to be the most beautifully poetic description of any accent ever
Duw Duw!
We only have 3 last names, at least we sound like birds in the morning... or something.
Why did it take me 8 minutes to realise they were all reading the same lines 😂🤣
We should have mentioned that at the beginning! 😂😂
Same here!
@@WanderingRavens 🤣👌🏼
It took me a while. I thought, "Why are they all obsessed with kale?"
It took me til the 2nd one (the Scottish lass), but really just because you mentioned it as I was still wondering what the heck the posh fella had said?
Jack in Liverpool, I don't think I'd have known he was a scouser if you hadn't told me. Very posh!
"Kind of Scouse agent" was right. Definitely there, but not full Beatle.
Sounds like Jack went to private school and/or grew up around posh people to me.
Certainly not like the scouser I know at work, and he has been away from Liverpool for years.
@@clairebattersby6340 I grew up in east London. My family have the local accent but I'm hard of hearing and was still mute at 4 years old. My speech therapist taught me how to speak, so I have a posh accent. I can't talk another way. As a child at school, I knew to keep my mouth shut as much as possible. It was miserable not having a local accent and I think it was cruel that speech therapy didn't take into account local accent. They made sure I would never fit in.
It still seems unfair when people make presumptions about who I am or what my background is. I had uncles in prison for armed robbery growing up and lived on council estates. I'm really not posh. Anyone who went through speech therapy was taught a posh accent. Even with my hearing aids, it's stressful for me to speak in public because people take the piss.
@@runningfromabear8354 I'm sorry if my comment came across as rude.. I didn't mean that at all. That sounds tough! I can relate a bit because we moved around a lot and I got teased for having a posh accent as a child. Now no one can tell where I'm from. I joke that I've made up my own accent.
"Proper nice" is super common. I can't imagine how you've never heard that before.
"well good" is how we'd say it in the south.
Honestly just shot proper infront of anything like proper nice proper bored proper cool proper mint
I actually thought it was an Americanism!
“Welsh is of this soil, this island, the senior language of the men of Britain; and Welsh is beautiful.” - J.R.R Tolkien
Welsh is beautiful. I love to hear people speak with welsh accents ^_^
My most favourite language and dialect. 😍
Cassent disagree wiv dat
My aunty was Welsh. Loved to hear her talk.
i find it really grating and slightly irritating tbh. sound likes they're all a bit slow in the head
I’ve never heard Sainsburies called Sainos but I love it 😂
Me neither!
I know someone who calls it "Sainsies"
@@katpalmer8713 I love that 😆
I call it Sainsbo‘s
We call it sainsbugs!!!
Suggested sentence: A scone in the bath is good fun, until you drop it in the water - fishing the crumbs out is annoying.
If a full scale fight didn't break out about that, I'd be surprised...
Brilliant!!! Thanks, Emma!
Scone and Scone! Love it!
Emma, do you want another civil war? haha
Perfect sentence scone and bath always causes stress
While you're there get people to tell you what they call a bread roll.
The scouse accent was quite a well mannered variety. Maybe from one of the posh bits of south Liverpool. The more common scouse accent is much harsher and more angular. You definitely wouldn't be thinking it sounds friendly.
Crosby, Breck rd, speke, Birkenhead and Bootle all differently accented.
Agreed. I’m from Bootle, husband from Wallasey. We sound different from each other, let alone from the example in this video.
Agreed, it's much less gritty than most Liverpudlians. I always find the Warrington accent curious -it's exactly what you'd expect from the geography, halfway between Scouse and Manchester.
@@dave_h_8742 Ah, Breck Rd... used to cross it four times a day to and from school....
Every city has differences on accents. Not true it's harsh in Liverpool, as a rule.
Me and my other half love you two.
We're from West Yorkshire and love how much you two appreciate us and our weird ways.
Ay up! So glad you enjoy our channel :D
Best Yorkshire *
Hi from Leeds 💕
west yorkshire best yorkshire. if you're rose aint white gtfo XD
@@Sorrely1 Me too Leeds is best xxx
I used to work with two chaps, one from Liverpool and the other from the East End.
I often wondered how they understood each other.
I am english but when came and worked in london , i couldnt get my head around the east end accent , the guy i worked with sounded like he was saying arter noon , i thought he was another work colleague, i said who's arthur ? He looked at me as if i was taking the mickey , and replied ...i said after noon !
The Liverpool accent here is the same as mine. From the South of the city. It lacks the harsh kkhhh sound so often heard in Scouse.
More Paul McCartney than John Bishop
It's a more softer Scouse accent, places such as Skelmersdale (West Lancashire) seem to have a more harsher Khhh sound as a lot of the people who went to live there were originally from Liverpool. Totally agree more Paul McCartney than John Bishop.
I love the Scouse accent, I went to Liverpool a few years ago n kept asking people for directions just to listen to the accent 😊 I'm from East Yorkshire
I'm from Liverpool and this accent is closer to mine than the harsher Scouse accent you hear so often now.
Now I know why people say I have a really thick scouse accent😂 I sound nothing like this
10:42 One thing that the Welsh accent has is lingering slightly on hard consonants, e.g. butt-ter, it-tems, shop-p, kit-tchen, rub-bish. I also noticed a clear long "oo" sound in "smoothie" which sounds "ooooo" instead of the usual diphthong which is a slight "u-oou"
The classic "y'right butt?" is a good example I think
Oooo! These are great notes! Thank you!
"I am really excited for this one because we have two Stoke on Trent accents" Eric.
The sentence I never expected to hear!
😂😂
😂😂😂
I know right. Bless them never thought someone would be excited to hear from two stokies
"Stokies sound really friendly" .God help 'em if they ever visit ... they're in for a right shock
@@meg2678 they'll be fine as long as they don't accidentally offend one of us 😂😂😂
We are lovely as long as we are calm 🤣
@@sharonm3474 that is very true 😂just dont dis' the mighty oatcake and we're all good 👍🏻👍🏻i was surprised not to hear a duck or a shug in the phrases somewhere 😂 classic signs of a friendly stokie 😉
Ha, that's me!
I think I can officially call myself a celebrity now.
Hey hey!! Thanks for helping us out with this one, Jack!! Where we correct about your Scouse pronunciation of "k" ? :D
@@WanderingRavens as I said mine isn't the best example of stereotypical Scouse, but the 'K's and dropping the 't's at the end of words like "that" - I would pronounce "tha". You did good!
@@jackomeara2357Dey did boss.
There's regional scouse accents which you may pick up on the inflections and differences.
In Manchester we don’t say the T or the D for butter. It’s just Buh-uh
Me too, and I'm from Norfolk. I was going to comment on that but you did it better (beh-er)
Same in Geordie land, t in the middle of a word vanishes.
Same in Birmingham too, I think most accents in the UK are like that
And Chester
Well I'm from Salford and have never said buh-uh in my life! My dad would have kicked me into next week if I dared to!
For a laugh, ask someone from Yorkshire to say "It isn't in the tin" in the way they'd say it normally.
Tint int tin.
It behnt in 'tin
Will do!!
Int int tin
It int in’t tin
Try "It's cold and there's loads of snow." Start in north Yorkshire, south Wales, east London, and west Somerset.
That Gwent accent is beautiful and subtle. That musicality comes from the very Welsh habit of placing the emphasis on the penultimate syllable of most words. Try doing it. It sounds a bit Welsh without even altering your word pronunciation.
I think you should dedicate an episode on the different variations of the Yorkshire accent!
Hi Eric. The 't' in "often" is meant to be silent, just like it is in "soften" although many people don't follow this rule these days.
ive watched a lot of your vids and grace is always loads better at mimicking accents.
I find the East Lancs/West Yorks accents the friendliest and warmest sounding.
when the dog tries to join in the accent debate! haha! brilliant! big love to all people :)
Hang on, hang on... I'm jealous now!!!! Josh's accent sounds like coffee?? 😢
You don't have to live with it. Even his own parents don't understand him sometimes. 😂😂😂
Oh my! What accent do his parents have? 😂😂
@@WanderingRavens his dad is a cross between geordie and pitmatic with a bit of stoke. And his mum is Stokie with a bit of welsh.
It's his mum more than his dad that struggles. And me sometimes... I have to ask him to enunciate some words
Great video guys! Keep it up!
Thanks so much!
Me: from Norfolk but my accent is so soft its basically non - existent.
Also me: gets made fun of for being a "Norfolk stereotype"
😂😂
Omg same except I do sound like a farmer
We always get forgotten about in British accent videos don't we 😫
If you say "bootiful" you are Norfolk broads Crystal.
@@METALFREAK03 or instead of calling someone 'my love' you call them 'my booty'
You got a new subscriber.. great videos
Great video again. Its amazing how some accents are instantly recognizable. I spoke to a guy the other day and within a couple of words I knew he was scouse others I can be way out. X
I'm a Yorkshireman!
(Jórvík Vestr þriðjungr)
Ek bjó fyrst á þorir. Yorkshire dialect was heavily influenced by old East Norse, for example "Ey Up" in Sweden is "Sey upp" and it actually means "look up" in both Sweden and in Yorkshire Dialect (Though most on Yorkshire think it means "Hello")
Us "Stokies" are so warm,friendly and kind. You need try the stoke-on-trent oatcakes for breakfast. Grill the cheese on the oatcake and add the cooked bacon. And roll them up.
We've said next time they're in the area we'll take them for oatcakes. Will need gluten/dairy free ones for grace though 😔
Here in Yorkshire the letter 'T' is only relevant at the start of a word as in the alternative for coffee / lunch. I worked in Asia teaching years ago - myself and a guy from Sussex (South Coast) - We were asked how could we understand each other when speaking at speed - quick example I pronounce 'bus' with the emphasis on the 'U' as in Under - he said it as though to my ears it sounded like Baas.
Welsh is breathy and singsongy; love the Welsh accent ❤️
It's such a wonderful accent!
Hello I’m a linguistics student! The glottal /t/ you mentioned is a very common feature in many places, it’s slightly different to ‘dropping’ a /t/ as Grace put it, it actually more complex to produce and that’s always a good point to make if your grandparents tell you off for lazy pronunciation
Where were you when I was a child 😂
That's fascinating! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! Would love to hear more analysis from official linguists like you! :D
@@WanderingRavens I am such a nerd with it I absolutely love it. I will be sure to comment in the future!
I'm from Warrington, but I believe Stoke is essentially an amalgamation of several different towns that then became a city. It didn't develop outwards from one place into a city, like most places. So that's probably why the different Stoke accents are different enough for you to notice.
I'd agree with that. Plus a lot of people from surrounding cities moved to stoke to work in the pits and the pot banks which gave us an even more muddled group of accents.
This was such a good video idea! Hope you do another, you need some Bristol action me luvvers
So glad you enjoyed it!! We'll do another one soon if this video performs well with the CZcams algorithm :D
@@WanderingRavens
Would love to hear more West Country. It's true, isn't it, that a Bristol accent is noticeably different than Exeter?
Oh my goodness, I’m only just (2 years in…) watching this video and was stunned when my friend Marley turned up on the screen! I had no idea she was in this. 😆 Great video.
Awesome to see you're doing user submitted accents! Here's a little story I knocked up on the fly - it's a bit longer but hopefully it's got some good words that'll introduce some variety!
"
Today I went for a walk in the park. As it was a cool autumn day, I could see my breath in the air and feel the crispy leaves at my feet. As I got to a puddle, a dog rushed past me and splattered mud all over my jacket. When I got home, I decided to have a bath. Sadly though it was a short one as my brother used up all the hot water. Never mind eh?
"
Enjoyed watching this and Eric you are so right that accents change even in the next street! People living in the UK can sometimes struggle as my accent contains a merging of two as I live in one county which is not too far from a big city in another county. Grace you are so good at accents, but loved Eric's try at the Gwent accent.
Thank you for the kind words, Susan! We're so glad you enjoyed this one!! x
The dog creased me up. 🤣🤣
as a scouser, this man you present as "from liverpool" is an absolute wool.
Hahahahaha, your Dundee accent is superb!! Love this channel, keep up the good work!
Thanks! 😃
I'm a Yorkshire man and that Yorkshire lad in the video sounds as though he hasn't learnt to speak yet , smh!
I couldn't have said it better myself 👍
Freddie's accent: Nailed it, Grace! :D
Suggested sentence: Be sure to include 'I'm going to put the kettle on. Do you want a slice of toast as well?'. That will show up some regional differences.
Thanks!! I tried 😂 And thanks for the sentence idea!
Wandering with you Ravens, and your language discussion/dissection was mental ambrosia! You leave me wanting more, more, more!:-)
Thank you and fly safe. 🖖
Thank you for the kind words, Barry!! Stay safe as well :D 🖖
These videos are going to help for my acting course. Many thanks.
You're very welcome!
I'm from Nottingham & for me, there weren't enough H's in this sentence for our accent to come through much :P
I'm close to Leicester and our accents are almost exactly the same, as is Derby. We drop our H's unless we want to sound posh lol.
I think the reason Welsh sounds different to you (especially the word dairy) is because we roll our R.
Thank you for the insight!!
It sounds like they're saying "derry".
I also find that the Welsh tend to hang on syllables for quite long then say the next one quite quick which is why it almost sounds like they're singing
Also part of it is due to the Welsh language and it's grammar especially where to place the emphasis.
Liverpool and Belfast have that same sort of "happy" (up and down) tone because they are just across the water from each other and many people migrated back and forth
Belfast accents and dialect are a good mix of Liverpool, Scotland and Ireland and caries depending on what side of Belfast or community your from 😂
I live in West Oxfordshire, I have an RP accent as does my Mum. My Dad has a Gloucestershire/Berkshire accent and my sister is a mix of all three.
Wow!! Incredible how you can have so many accents all in one family :D
Shame you couldn't get someone like that farmer out of the film Hot Fuzz in your thumbnail
In the UK the "t" in "often" is silent, it's not a glottal stop. It's equivalent could be "listen" for example.
I have an idea for a similar video in future. Rather than looking only at their accents, how about giving everybody a sentence and asking them to translate it into their dialect too? Could be fun!
Try getting your head around this 'cos kick a bo agen a wo an ed it till ya bost it'
I love saying that, then people responding with a very confused look. Always fun 😂
Ah know that one
Eric doing the Stoke accent was hilarious! Proper nice 😃
Thanks! xD
People pronounce 'a' sounds differently in words like past, bath, grass, answer etc so maybe including one of those words in a sentence would be interesting. In the south of England they tend use more long, germanic style 'arr's and in the north of England shorter, more latin style like the a in apple. But it can also be an indicator of social class as well as where you're from (particularly in the midlands where the pronunciation is more varied). I live in Warwickshire and it's very noticeable that my friends in the south of the county in more well to-do areas like Warwick and Stratford-Upon-Avon use the long 'arr' sounds but in the north of Warwickshire around Coventry and Nuneaton where I live we tend to prefer the shorter 'a'.
You’ve forgotten one of the most important accents in the UK.. Norfolk. It’s unique. One of the UK’s best ever actors John Thaw nails the Amazing accent on the Film ‘Goodnight Mr Tom’ - One of the best films ever made. I think you guys will love this film, and especially the Norfolk accent.
The Norfolk accent is one of the hardest to imitate. John Thaw is the only actor that nailed it. Usually actors trying to do Norfolk end up with a weird West Country accent.
'Goodnight Mr Tom' is a brilliant film, well worth watching.
I've just reached 5.49 and you've nailed it. The most defining characteristic of the Stoke accent sharpening of the 'i' to an 'ee' sound. Hence 'going' becomes 'go'een.' The other amusing characteristic is the switching of the sharp a (as in take) and the genuine double e sound. This results in the phrase 'straight up the street' becoming 'street up straight. I should know; I'm from there (although I now speak with a more or less conventional RP accent. And I have a book on dialects and accents which assures me that Stoke on Trent is one of a very few accents which doesn't fit into any family. It has elements of Irish (from Liverpool), West Midlands, south Lancashire, and even West Yorkshire.
Hi Guys, really enjoyed that, thank you. The Irish accent just melts my heart, love it so much 😍 xx
Hi Lorraine!! Good to see you here! So glad you enjoyed this one :D
for the welsh one it's softer
the letters and sounds blend together
Love watching you guys! I am originally from a town called Ormskirk, which is about 13 miles north of Liverpool (so quite a few people have Scouse accents there), but have spent the last 9 years living in Stoke on Trent. This was so good. You actually did really well trying to nail the accents. Good work, Guys... \m/ (:o)
INSTA LIKE the moment you said EYUP! As a Yorkshireman, I loved that XD
Stoke accent when you struggled to understand what he said - "they are pretty good; they are quite nice and stuff..."
Thank you!!!
@@WanderingRavens another thing with the Stoke accent, the oo sound in look, cook and book is the same as in snooker or boot
love the video. i live near falkirk and it is pronounced the 2nd way you said it, like fawl-kirk
Thanks for the tip!
Loving the pet surprises in all your different locations 🐶🥰🐈
Doing British accents may be easy but it can also be hard. Love the topic of the video.
Thank you, Isaac!!
Stoke-on-trent is a city made up of 6 towns.. I think this explains why the accent varies so much. There can be a hint of Birmingham, Manchester or Liverpool depending on which part of the city you're from.
Saying that, I moved to Stoke-on-trent in 1989 and I think there is less variety in the accent than when I first moved here. Or maybe I don't notice it as much?
Thank you for letting us know!! Didn't know it is made up of 6 towns!
Six towns are Fenton, Longton, Stoke, Hanley, Tunstall and Burslem, it used to be five towns but somewhere over the last few years Fenton was added. But if you ask some of the older Potters there are still only 5
Not only are accents and dialects different but dependant on which town you are from (which side of city centre) depends on if you're a Valiant or a Potter.
Plus our families moved to stoke for the pots or pits from surrounding areas too. So part of my family came from Liverpool so that has an influence on how I say a lot of my words.
It's definitely being watered down over time. It's rare to hear Potteries accents as broad as Josh's now.
@@lassievision I never actually realised I had a broad accent, it's only become common knowledge to me recently, my accent would probably be thicker if I didn't know I was being recorded because I pronounce words slightly different when I know I am
I've just come across this channel and it is quite endearing to find two Americans enjoying the differences when they come to the UK. You are very generous with your comments. The examples of your accents were rather curious. It would've taken a while to pinpoint the Stoke accent, I always imagined it to be different to that example you had. The Liverpool accent used was very slight. Many of the Liverpool accents are very distinctive and much stronger than example you used. A good example is Steven Gerrard the footballer. My wife is from Yorkshire and although she does not have an accent from there we visit frequently and again there are much stronger accents in the one you cited. A good example would be Simon Armitage. For a Welsh accent, and there are many of them, listen to Gavin and Stacey, especially Stacey played by Joanna Page, or Jonathan Davies the brilliant Rugby Player and now commentator. As for a Scottish accent I'd go for comedian Kevin Bridges, especially when he performs in his native Glasgow - virtually undecipherable to English ears. Finally check out Edinburgh where they speak the best English in the UK, or so they tell us.
Damn this is a gripping channel. It's past midnight and I just have to keep watching. My son and wife live in San Jose CA and my grandchildren were born in USA! Help!
A sentence with something do do with a burger in a Roll/Bun/Bap/cob etc.. people use different words for it depending usually where they are from/grew up. Or... something to do with a scone XD
You totally glossed over the lassie from Dundee saying “keech” (with the Scottish “ch”). Which means shite.
Ahhhh!!! How did we miss that?!!
listen pet, it's a crack, they wont mugs like "me n you" . love ya. ( where i come from, it's tripe.)
I love the range of accents they are range from soft to not so soft
Yes! Such a fun range of accents!
@@WanderingRavens also for the next line you should make people say " now I have a brand new combine havister"
@@nellloveridge4890 but we'd sing the song in the songs accents 😂😂
Also are we soft or not soft 🤣
Hi Folks,
This is so much better than the versions where you look at famous people.
While those (actors, comedians...) are examples of the accents, they will have been trained.
These seem to be more 'in the wild' versions.
Good stuff.
Saino's is Sainsburys, Tezzers is Tesco and in my experiance smaller Co-ops are just reffered to as 'The Garage', might just my my local area for that one though.
Thank you for setting us straight there!! :D
From Liverpool and have literally never heard any of those before! 😂
The garage 😂😂
Morrisons is Moggies, the Coop is the Quorp. (I'm from Leeds btw). Also Marks and Sparks for Marks and Spencer's.
I say ‘Mozzers’ for Morrisons (originally from Birmingham, now in Leamington)
I live in the new city/town of Milton Keynes and during my lifetime a new accent has developed over the past 55 years from the mix of Londoners, Glaswegian and people with many other accents that have migrated here and mixed with the local North Buckinghamshire accent showing only takes three generations to change an accent.
Try some East Lancashire accents. Because the region is between Central Manchester and West Yorkshire you get a blend of both.
A standard example would be Downton Abbey star Siobhan Finneran in an interview on "This Morning".
A more unique example would be physicist Brian Cox in any of his lectures/TV appearances.
I could listen to you two attempting accents all day. Hilarious! Maybe also get your UK subscribers to attempt your accents?
I have to agree the David Carney on 'The Welsh accent sounds like a bird singing in the morning' being the most beautiful description of the Welsh accent.
What you can't put your finger on is that Welsh is actually celtic, so what you're hearing is that celtic lilt but less pronounced, which makes for a beautiful sound
Can u plz do another one of these vidios with the subscribers acsents I realy enjoy em
Fun little fact: People from Stoke use the pet name "Duck" pretty often, even to strangers (more often by women in my experience, or referring to women). For example, "How are we [you] Duck, y'alright?"
This is true but wording on how we speak can vary depending on who we a directing at, so it can be harder to understand if your from out the area
Please listen to the boro accent you can listen to it by watching a jack bean video cause it’s weird in boro cause we’re in the middle of Yorkshire and Newcastle so we have a mixed accent and mixed slang if you want to react to the different slang Jack bean has a video where he talks about it with his mate from Newcastle
Nipped is just a lot more common than "popped" anywhere even if its regional. Popped sounds.. Very Bridget Jones. You'll say it if you wanna feel a bit posh in a lot of accents, coz in many it's hard to say popped without annunciation the rest of the sentence out
Saying that you are nipping somewhere is not confined to Stoke. Its used universally to say that you are going somewhere local such as the local shops. You don't have to go far to hear different accents. Birmingham and he Black Country are less than 6 miles apart and yet sound very different.
Your Welsh was pretty good!
Thank you!
Something about going home would work well to hear a Geordie accent (gan/gannin' (h)yem - however you want to spell it/say it with varieties around the city)
Butter for a Geordie would drop the t's too (bu-ah). I've noticed we tend to change 'er' to 'ah' a fair bit.
Would be interested in seeing what you think of the Blackburn accent
Love your hair Grace!!
Thank you!! x
I like to make my Welsh bird sing in the morning! Welsh accents change depending on which side of the road you live on. For example Caerphilly is 3 miles away from Cardiff and the they couldn't sound more different!
In Plymouth we’d saying we’re ‘nipping down the shop’. Or popping down...
What a beautiful room. love the real fire picture.
Hi Liz! Yeah, we got really lucky with this current house sit! :D
I was too shy to participate lol, but good job. Blaenau I would pronounce 'Blina' Gwent, from my Cardiff neck of the woods 😉
Don't be shy!! We'd love to hear your accent next time! :D
@@WanderingRavens thanks, maybe next time????? 😁
8:21 the 2nd one
fall- kirk
it originated from fawkirk (the speckled church) a kirk is a church
the original town church used stone that had a speckled appearance
The “Chelsea” one sounds like someone trying to hard to be “posh English person”...
He’s actually in Made In Chelsea so you’re not far wrong !
yeah like a character
I'm from London and it's spot on for many people from certain W and SW postcodes.
@@pjani14 Yeah when you get into SE territory you get a bit less "proper".
They needed a real London cockney accent 😂😂
The scouse accent comes from Ireland, Wales, America and Scandinavia due to the mass migration in the 18th - 19th century. Other places in Cheshire, North Wales and Lancashire can have the scouse accent too.
The British accent changes roughly every 15 miles !
So cute to hear you both try the different British accents. Sorry Eric, Grace is better at it. Much love!
I'm from Hertfordshire but live in Surrey. I sometimes speak really clearly but other times I speak really unclearly.
As an example, I sometimes pronounce my t's really strongly.
E.g Butter = "BuTTer"
But sometimes I completely drop/almost silence the t's
E.g Butter = "Bu'er"
You should get some Norfolk / Suffolk / Fenland Accents too :)
As a South Yorkshire man I picked up on, what I thought was strange, from the South Yorkshire accent was the glottal T in item but no glottal T in butter. What I do know is that different towns and villages, in South Yorkshire, have different accents. Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley are all within 20-30 miles of each other yet have vastly different accents and pronunciations.
Great video as always! A shame my submission didn’t make the cut.
My mum in law is from Northern Ireland, County Antrim in particular, and all of her kids get her to say ‘Hey now brown cow’ or ‘Get in your bed now’ just so they can laugh at the accent. It’s a bit mean 😅
I'm sorry we weren't able to fit yours in, Michael!! We ran out of time while shooting yesterday and had to cut the list off at 9 :( But stay tuned for the next time we do this!
@@WanderingRavens no need to apologise! My accent is quite boring compared to the ones you had in your video anyway 😅
I noticed that you liked it when people went off-script and used local versions of words, it might be good to mention that in your next community post, as you’ll get even more of a feel of that area hopefully 😊
I’m from Staffordshire, further south than Stoke. As an adult I’ve also lived in west Wales, west Oxfordshire and my husband is Northern Irish.
His accent is quite different to the Belfast accent shown here. He has quite a gutteral ‘sch’ to a lot of his words. For example ‘harsh’ would be ‘harSCH’ and his ‘how’ and ‘now’ is even more extreme than the Belfast accent here. His Dad from Belfast has a much softer, sing-song accent.
Because of all the places I’ve lived, and my husband, my accent has softened/muddled. I’d say I now have a soft generic English accent with certain words having a stokie, Welsh or West Country twang at times. Some people where I live have more of a West Midlands twang, whereas others sound more stokie 😄
Would have been interesting to hear what town your South Yorkshire example was from. Sounds nothing like any South Yorkshire accent I've heard and I'm from Doncaster! Didn't really sound like a Rotherham, Barnsley or Sheffield accent to me but I'm open to being proven wrong :)
