Being a polyglot and former ESL teacher, I really enjoy these 'accent' videos. I live in Brasil and had so many students saying that they wanted an "American accent" because they worked in multinational companies primarily from the US. I used to tell them to forget the accent completely because there's no single American accent, just as with the UK. I think the differences remain much more pronounced in the UK (not sure why), whereas the US has become greatly homogeneous mostly through nationalized pop culture (television, films). I focused on learning the language itself v. accent, because if you live 6 months or so in another area, your accent will change and you won't even notice. I'm from California, and while at university I transferred to a university near Canada (had Canadian friends), then finished my degrees in France upon which I drove to California and was asked where I was from. "Uh, here?..." 🤣🤣 I think learning the 4 accents featured here are more appropriate for advanced ESL students who might live in the UK. I have a friend who lived there 10 years and claimed to understand everything until I made her watch episodes of Auf Widersehen, Pet; Bourniston; Chewin' The Fat, Smack The Pony, and Still Game. She almost cried. Anyway, these videos are fantastic. I also loved the one about Viking words in English. I had no idea about the entymology of "get". Anyway, keep up the good work!

I feel like repeating myself but this video is outstanding, Gideon! I love the fact you don’t solely focus on the English features but also dive into the history of the area you are discussing. Your guest was also brilliant, I am looking forward to your future joint videos 😇

@nederlanditis8154 7 месяцев назад

Fun fact, I only had the association to after it was mentioned that Scouse is a derivative from a dish. In northern Germany there exists a dish called Labskaus. We remember it with a sinister mixture of horror and disgust.

@alfresco8442 7 месяцев назад

In Liverpool we have always known that scouse comes from Lobskaus/Labskaus. There was much trade not only with Scandinavia but also the neighbouring states of the Hanseatic League (Hansa). In fact there is a whole area near the docks known as the Baltic Triangle which housed companies trading specifically with the North German coast. With typical Liverpool humour we also have a version of the dish called blind scouse. It's got no meat in it.

@amherst88 7 месяцев назад

This is one of your most fascinating presentations Gideon -- I've always been curious about the colorful accents in the UK but never realized they were tied so closely to different invasions. Being in the US I could also hear elements of certain accents here that likely originated with people who emigrated from those regions in the UK. (Loved hearing that you are a Smiths fan -- would have appreciated one of the Beatles doing the Liverpool but I understand using them is problematic). Thanks as always -- your channel is a continual, enjoyable free education ❤

@ibbobo5162 7 месяцев назад

excellent - 'scran' (speaking as a Manc) has the connotation of food you'd eat really fast because you were dead hungry and like no time for a break in the docks or factories. It's like a hurried meal word. My dad necked his scran when he got home. Wolfed it down proper fast.

To the average Brit, Australian sounds like a version of Cockney. Probably due to the number of Londoners shipped out there...willingly or otherwise. ;)

@sailorVenus225 3 месяца назад

Growing up in Norway, my friends and I used to watch Geordie Shore every weekend (we were like 14-16 years old) lol. The accent definitely grew on us :p Basically know all the slang by now as well. In my opinion, this accent shares similarities with southern Norwegian dialects. Both have a specific tone and intonation pattern and sound a bit "whiney" maybe, it goes up at the end of the sentence. It's also fascinating how Geordies use the "wrong" grammar. Us instead of me, me instead of my, we instead of I, learned me instead of taught me, yous.

@ndrmkhn6559 7 месяцев назад

I tried to leave my comments here twice but they went to void forever. why that? I used to like listening different accents on Dialects of English Archive site in old good days. Their "Comma gets a cure" text pronounced by locals from different regions is an amazing training plot for anyone who is interested in the subject.

@elainebelzDetroit 7 месяцев назад

Manchester & my hometown of Detroit are very different, but also share a lot of commonalities (besides being northern in their respective countries!). both had a similar history of industrialization/deindustrialization, although Detroit's didn't start till quite a bit later. But in both cases, industrialization brought in people from all over. I'd never noticed the similarity in the diversity of native/local accents before. I'm sure to some degree that's normal in cities, but you wouldn't think it would be the case with these two relatively small cities. So much is tied in with racial/ethnic/language background, socioeconomic status, education (incl. where you went for it if you went away), and subcultures, I think, as well as geography - e.g., are you in the city, which side, or what suburb/exurb, etc. I'd like to know more about how diverse accents are in relatively small geographic areas & the histories that made them so.

@ibbobo5162 7 месяцев назад

you should explain the north-south dinner-lunch-tea divide - northerners' 'dinner' is the southerners' 'lunch' - 'tea' in the north is what the southerners call 'dinner' - I'm afraid we northerners have no word for breakfast or supper because we are too oppressed by the southerners and are lucky if we get any scran at all.

I wouldn't have chosen Morrissey as an example of a mancunian accent, his is quite weak. I would say Bez, Shaun Ryder, Karl pilkington, and Liam Gallagher, are better examples. Same with Liverpool, she was too well spoken, Jamie carragher would have been a much better example.

My quest to speak in a 'British accent' continues.. This vid answered questions and uncovered some pitfalls. I watch exclusively British TV, but that means I'm exposed to most all accents; what I end up speaking is a trap/bath/foot/strut mashup. My verbiage converted long ago - it's taking longer to remember the US terms for windscreens and torches, but my mouth parts are still grotesquely American. 🫢 Any tips?

@simonmaximov8443 7 месяцев назад

Maybe try practicing British pronunciation by reading texts out loud when you can concentrate on the sounds making with your mouth. Because when speaking it’s hard to think about sounds as everyday speaking is fast and we have to think about what we say rather than how we pronounce it
