I am a graduate Speech Pathology student. There is nothing called "perfect" English, everyone has their unique dialect. Dialect is influenced by many factors. "Poo" & "pool" are both correct. The dictionary is only reliable up to a certain degree. Everyone has an accent, and it is very important for people to keep it in mind.
Nobody speaks perfectly, not even a native speaker. Because spoken language is spontaneous,and not edited (like written language is),it's absurd to point out a few mistakes in spoken language and use that to draw a conclusion on someone's language ability.

There is nothing wrong to say" It was only until I was four that I really took up swimming lessions." That is how it is commonly spoken in north America. You are right to say "pool" is not "poo". In north America, it is sounded as "poo-l", with the tongue rollling at the end for the L sound. The way Siobhan said it sounded closer to how British says the word. All in all, I don't think it is right to say she does not have perfect English.
I disagree. "It wasn't until" / "was not until" - the "not until" tells the narrative that she did not take swimming seriously from when she was a baby until she was four years old. If you don't want to use the word "not", then we usually say something to the effect of "I was four when I really started taking up swimming lessons". FYI - I'm just disecting this particular piece for the purposes of this discussion. I think Siobhan is fluent in English and she did great in this interview!
@@al3220 You are free to disagree with me. However, I am not sure if you live in north America. The point I wanted to make is that it is perfectly normal the way Siobhan "said it" in US and Canada, ie . spoken English, not formal written format. "Not until" can be taken as double negative, and everyone here understands what she meant.
@@pyan5197 and I will exercise that option to disagree. FYI I have lived in North America for almost three decades. Not sure what bearing that has for our discussions, but since you are bringing this up - where do you live and what is your experience with "North American" English?
其實就算native speakers講/寫其母語時不標準，或有錯漏，都不是奇事，沒什麼大不了。正因為有此現象，才會令專家學者發聲指正或糾正。 我們中國人偶爾都讀錯中文字，或用了不標準語法。 我曾聽過native speakers說mention about something(about不應存在)、the reason why...is because(不應用because ;應該用that)。 指出問題所在實屬無可厚非。 就這視頻而言，我同意指出用It was not until...that...才是正確用法(也可以用It was only when... that...) 。
In fairness, it's not that surprising. Her father is Irish, she spoke Englto him every day for her whole life,ever since she was small. Why wouldn't she have a native/near native accent,considering she acquired the language from native speakers since birthas opposed to learning the language.
But that's an Irish (Gaelic) name, it's not an English language name. Most English speakers would be unable to pronounce it. So being able to pronounce it doesn't make you a better English speaker,it just means you know one word in the Irish language.
No offense, but I think it's absolutely absurd of you to say she doesn't speak perfect English. She speaks exactly like a native speaker and I doubt any English speaker would believe otherwise. I'm saying that as a native English speaker. It's silly to micro-analyze spoken language like that, because no native speaker will speak like a grammar book. We're humans,not robots or grammar books. If you put any native speaker under a microscope like you did here, you would most definitely find lots of things that violate the rules of grammar. Also,你聽錯，佢冇講 swimming poo.
@@anpleidhceeireannach9498 that I agree with you. Saying a native speaker not speaking proper English, no wonder so many people in Hong Kong are so scared to actually speak, the unreal criticism from others stop them from speaking at all! How is it helpful? It’s crazy.

Siobhán didn't say poo. The "l" at the end of.pool is audible. When people speak fast,the words sound different.
Siobhan did say pool with an “l”, not poo.
I love this video so so much so please post up more and longer one. Thanks Tiffany
👩🏫 you're brilliant
SIOBHAN is remarkable 🏅
Best wishes to your achievement
It is very useful. I love it. Thanks Tiffany! 😉

第一次留言: 芬妮想問下點解有d外國人會將experience 的rience 讀做experlience, 係咪uk accent? 有無咩rules?
RP ACCENT，Google下～～
我猜想問題是你可能沒有察覺'R' 的發音很彈性 : 不同語言、方言、個人習慣會產生不同效果。
比方說，日文的'R' 音聽起來就極似'L' 音。
你聽到那個像說'experlience' 的人很可能發所有的'R' 音都類近你認為是'L' 的音 ; 有些操英式英語的native speakers 發'R' 音時，會發出「咕嚕咕嚕」聲，彷彿漱口時顫動喉嚨一樣(有點像意大利歌劇)。
普通話中也有'R' 的發音，在音節尾(「兒」或其他兒化韻的字)聽來像美式英語的rhotic 'R' ，但'R' 在音節前(例如「日」、「熱」等字)唸來就有不同感覺了，再者，這些字的'R' 音在everyday speech和唱戲曲(例如京劇)時都有差別(後者類近'L') 。
Keep going.
加油啊💪！

佢啲英文一啲都唔美式，佢呢個口音係愛爾蘭有錢人嘅口音。只係可能各位唔熟悉愛爾蘭嘅文化。
佢美國讀書～當然，我都唔係愛爾蘭口音專家。
@@TiffanyTeachesEnglish 好多人都會誤會，我十幾年前剛過黎都以為係受美式影響。愛爾蘭英文（Hibernian English）其實係受愛爾蘭文影響，佢地T音同R音同正規英式英文好唔同（正規英式定義為BBC英文，其實正常英國人都唔會講正規英文）。愛爾蘭人嘅卷舌R音唔係因為美式影響，係受愛爾蘭文影響。我哋喺度住，一聽就知呢條友個口音係南都柏林有錢人口音。（無錯，呢度係可以分得好細，好痴線。）
因為美國有大量愛爾蘭人？
@@stccmc 唔關事，愛爾蘭人本身係講愛爾蘭文架各位朋友。只係英國佬迫害殺呢個語言，都係近代史嚟，得個一百年，一個本身講愛爾蘭文嘅國家，講英文會受愛爾蘭文影響，蘇格蘭同威爾斯嘅口音都係同樣情況，收佢哋本身語言影響，幾百年來演化成現在口音。不過好多香港人應該唔記得咗啲人本身唔係講英文。

我好意外何詩蓓居然會講“even though...but...”（8：24 - 8：27），佢呢句唔牽涉finite同non-finite verbs，同埋亦唔係一句複雜結構既句子（因為"even though...but..."呢句係because之後既，意義上完整，並唔關前面果一句事。) 。我相信你係聽得出佢犯咗呢個錯誤，不過唔明白點解你無提到呢？
