Actually , you are right , Emily , most of the people who watch the "english videos" aren't from any country whose language is English , these videos are pretty to learn english
I wish it was an episode about comparing accents between an Australian, a British, an American, a Canadian an Indian, and a south African. that would be an excellent video!
HAHAHAH I like Emily's toes keep grooving, move with rhythm XDDD btw, how come the no. of views is so much different than the first time....the content is so good
She has pronounced Hermione in Portuguese perfectly hahaha the H is silent, the “i” has “ee” sound, the strongest letter is the “o”, and the last “e” is strong too
Vowel sounds and accentuated stress are what differentiates accents, for the most part. Pronunciation is, I think, at least partially a product of where you live as people start to speak differently over time, usually mishearing words. T and D have a very similar "place of articulation" in the mouth, so a lot of Ts become Ds in American English. I looked it up because I was curious. Google says "Hermione" has been around as a name for around 200 years.
I just love watching and comparing and seeing how much my Aussie accent shows up and comparing it to u guys accents it's sooooo functionality u all are amazing
i love this!! originally from NYC and naturally an english speaker so its not hard to understand either of them but but i always wondered what inspired accents. I tend to imitate a british accent cuz its so fun to do.
It's called "non-rhodic" making your R's silent, a classic Boston accent. It actually originates from England, there was a generation way back where it was considered cool to speak that way.
Agreed. I figured she was playing around before, with a false air of self importance. But if you just treated it as if she was being straight, then she came off as a royal bitch.
It's funny. In Ireland, I don't pronounce my T's in a lot of words. I don't pronounce the T at the end of "lot", or those in "bottle", "water", or the last T in "that". But I find it odd when I hear the places Americans choose not to pronounce their T's, or use a very soft T, such as in the "interview" example. I would pronounce that T very strongly. Another example is "Antarctica", it always sounds like Americans say "An'arctica", whereas the first T in that word is where I would place my emphasis. Edit: Also I notice a lot of American words pronounce the T, but like a D... Such as pronouncing "water" like "wadder". Also Americans say it more like "Harry Podder", but then again, I say "Harry Po'er".
I'm here to learn English as well, it's good to see all kinds of accents, and the difference between them, and also learn new, words, phrases, expressions, slang words, and idioms, from all over the English speaking world. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
I'm from Colorado and supposedly we have no accent. Every direction I go there are more prominent accents. North of me is like the Minnesota/Wisconsin accent, south is obvious as well as west (California). And the east coast is packed with different accents.
More than music videos? That’s impressive not only because of the investment backing them up, but also because people watch them plenty of times, share them often, etc. Surely this has a lot to do with the fact there is a lot of English learners studying the language, it was a very curious subject but if it was not for you girls, it wouldn’t work either. So congratulations!
I was playing Persona 5(which is Japanese), and one of the characters was translating some English words for them. Another character said, "You can read that? How do you know that's not French or Italian or something?" That really put into perspective that it's not easy to differentiate at first for either side.😅 I know I have a hard time telling apart Japanese from Korean sometimes. (sorry for my ignorance😢)
