I'm Canadian but I watch a lot of British television shows.

The same goes for a lot of the idioms and expressions used over there. I'd have to say that some of the local Scottish dialects spoken in remote locations were the most difficult for me to get a handle on.

Just letting you know, as an American with hearing difficulties, I did struggle most with the last 2 clips. So even though US and UK share a common language, I had trouble understanding the speakers. It makes sense to me that non-English speakers, or second-language English speakers would have the most difficulty with them as well. And since you asked about regional prejudice, in the US, the 'southern' accent is often perceived most harshly in terms of intelligence by others in the US. The prejudice is even held by some southerners against other southerners, usually ones who grew up in a different region of the south, but also urban vs rural, and dialects termed 'black' English vs 'white' English (I apologize, I don't know what else to call them since I am not a linguist).

@abigailmaturana741 2 года назад

The ability of British, Scottish and Irish actors to speak specific regional dialects in the United States always amazes me. I watched The Wire, set in Baltimore, without realizing Idris Elba and Dominic West were British until I later heard them in interviews speaking in their normal accents. Kate Winslet is another one. She spoke in a very specific regional dialect in her recent HBO Max series Mare of Easttown. The attention to detail of these actors and their dialect coaches is remarkable.

I am Hungarian and I learned English in school and cartoon network when I was a kid, so I had some "posh English" and kind of US accent mixed with my Hungarian pronunciation. Must be funny to hear me for a native English speaker. Then I moved to a small town close to Liverpool and started to work in a warehouse with English co-workers (I was the only foreign there)...it took me literally 7-8 months to understand like the 80% of what they saying. 😅 From that point it was much easier to understand any native accents. Later I moved to Manchester, that took some time to get used to their accent too, but it was way faster. I love Scottis accent and I like the sound of Irish but for me maybe that's the hardest to understand. Thank you for the interesting video I really enjoyed it.❤

I love listening to people speak with different accents, particularly accents from the UK. I grew up in the Appalachian mountain region of Virginia. My mother always corrected my English, which helped later on when I moved away. One of my professors called me a "code-switcher", meaning that I will almost unconciously change my own speaking to match that of my surroundings. Later, when I was married and went back to where I grew up, I often had to serve as interpreter, because my wife could not understand what people in that area were saying. I also studied Russian and picked up a Muscovite accent, because all of my instructors were from Moscow.

I am from Romania, and I am learning English so I can take the Cambridge English exam for C1- C2 level. I love to watch your videos. You're a brilliant communicator. Keep up the amazing work! I have learnt so much from you, and hearing all the pronunciations from you, made me have so much more confidence for the Speaking exam. I'm studying English as my second languages for almost one year, and when I began to watch your videos, my English level has improved dramatically. I was more confident as I say some words, or practice a conversation myself even though my English is not bad. Thanks for your help, I have achieved much.

When I was giving Customer Service telephone training, I told to all my students, who were from all over the world, that, "EVERYONE has an accent that SOMEONE finds difficult to understand." I would stress to them that clear diction, pronunciation and slower-than-seemed-normal pacing were the keys. Also, repeating oneself as if the subject had never been mentioned before. Plenty of my very sharp, clever foreign-born Customer Service Representatives would throw their accents under the bus to make it easier to get callers to clarify their questions and also to repeat what they had just told a caller. Instead of getting complaints about people not being able to understand our foreign-born CSRs, people would call and ask for them specifically. "Oh, I have to speak to X (who had a very heavy accent)! S/He's the only one who understands me." As part of my job, I would have to "monitor calls for quality assurance." Many of my CSRs had accents, but they also had very warm, sympathetic telephone manners, (which were often at odds with their office personalities). I was so proud of them all!

The funny thing is, in that clip he's actually making an effort to speak more clearly and "properly" than he normally would. If you see him on chat shows his accent is stronger, e.g. when he says a word like "book", that "k" will sound more like the "ch" in "loch" - a very back-of-the-throat sound that you hear a lot in Scottish and Irish accents. (Which makes sense because a major influence on the Scouse accent comes from the Scottish and Irish people who came to Liverpool to work on the docks.)

I think it depends on one’s exposure to particular accents. When I was a teenager, I was more American English-oriented (still am), so whenever I heard an RP or some other British accents, it was quite hard to catch what it’s about. Later, I started to watch more shows and clips in different accents of English, and, eventually, the challenges in understanding them disappeared. Regarding this video, the only one I found a bit hard to understand was a Scottish one but mostly because the man spoke too quietly. On contrary, Scouse was one of the easiest to understand; perhaps, that’s because its pronunciation is somewhat similar to that of Eastern Europe, where I’m from.

Hi Lucy, I just discovered your channel and I love it. I’m originally from Liverpool, but I moved to the US (Miami of all places) when I was 13. They found my Scouse accent SO difficult to understand, that they believed I was not actually speaking English at all! I remember Many times when someone was having trouble understanding me, I’d often hear them asking if I knew any English, or on rarer occasions asking where I was from so that they could maybe find an interpreter. Sadly, after those experiences (which were legion) I completely lost my accent and went full American (I was always good with accents, and with living here, and going to school, I Americanized my accent in no time. As I got older, I really regretted giving up my identity as a Liverpudlian, and tried getting my accent back, but I just ended up with a weak English accident and am rarely recognized as being British at all anymore. Thanks for doing this, pointing out the discrimination that ppl from Liverpool, Newcastle, Brum, and N. Ireland face is something that is real, and needs to stop. Again, thanks 🙏.
