Now it all makes sense. My grandfather has the same accent and he’s from Leeds in West Yorkshire so ig he really still does have a genuine English accent (he hasn’t lived in England since the 60s). The accent really has a distinct tonal sound. My accent to contrast is somewhat a mix of a slight Brooklyn accent mixed with some Canadian flavoring and pronunciations.
Had the same thought ! She was brilliant. Her parents are missing a great opportunity if they don’t start adding language instruction now. Polyglots have this special hear/sound reproduction we mortals don’t have. She clearly was born with one of those brains capable of learning many languages.
The "Car on t'road" lad will always be the funniest thing ever! The knowing grin by the dad when he realises he's going to get owned by a toddler is beautiful!
Did you know that the most traditional and proper forms of English are spoken in the North? The further north you go the more English the accents become. The further south you go, the more French has influenced pronunciation of words. So technically the yorkshire man saying "Car on t'road" is closer to proper English than the kid or his mum.... Crazy thing is, Geordies actually speak the oldest remaining and most traditional form of the English language, so as much stick as they get, they are actually right and everyone else is speaking an English/French hybrid!!!
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim hahahahahaha!! That's HILARIOUS 😂🤣😂 Americans can barely speak English as it is. They cant even spell properly!! That's the equivalent of a canadian speaking better French than someone from Paris. Or a Brazilian speaking better portuguese than someone from Portugal. Americans speaking English is like Canadians speaking French. Its a good effort, but youve not quite mastered it yet. I live in the North East of England and there are words in my dialect that came from ancient roman between 1800 and 2000 years ago.. Americans are hilariously delusional. They try to claim literally anything for themselves.
@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim don't be ridiculous the English language is from England it's literally in the name.it's at least 2 and half thousand years older than your country. what did we speak before 250 years ago?
@@ElizabethT45 the UK hated and did not accept Meghan, according to Meghan. The clip of the sweet girl I think proves otherwise. Such excitement and devastation all in one bless her xx
@@timtreefrog9646 I think it was the media that had a problem with Meghan..The British public didn’t have any issues. The oprah interview didn’t do her any favours to be fair.
I know. Ironic that cockney types make fun of it when they have very unpleasant and unsophisticated accents, dropping and adding letters left, right and centre themselves. The mother seems to be under the impression she is speaking RP.
@@jojones2687 I know!!! 😩 Since I posted that comment, I discovered the clip was filmed in Auckland! Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time Australia appropriated an NZ media icon…🤣🤣
It broke my heart when her mother told her "you need to be a princess to attend a royal wedding" 😪 Did the mother seriously NOT see the kinda trouble that would rise? Lol
While living in England, we went on a canal boat on the Four Counties Canal Route & of course stopped every souvenirs shop along the way. We stopped at one, there was mom & about 6 kids, they were chatting, I turned to my husband, asked what language they speaking -- he looked at me & said English! Absolutely every 10 miles!!!
After watching the little boy saying "your legs are ever so sharp" it has become a saying in our house. He's so cute and makes us laugh everytime we say it.
They sound like normal kids to anyone but Americans. Americans always seem to be surprised by even modest vocabularies. This stuff is just what happens when parents make the effort to have proper conversations with their small children.
@@pm2886I would disagree a bit tbh like not everyone is gonna have a dead thick accent when they’re five it’s usually a bit softer. I’m scouse and my 7 year old sister doesn’t really have a noticeable scouse accent
@@pm2886 nobody is talking about their vocabulary mate. Just the accents. Plenty of children with wide vocabularies in the U.S. just like there are children in Britain that speak poorly. Come off it with your xenophobia.
Little Kyra changing her accent depending on the parent asking was hilarious! The little girl upset she couldn’t go to the royal wedding was precious too.
The poor little love who wanted to go to Meghan's wedding and got all confused 😭 such a sweetie, and then with mum's support she tries so hard to rationalise it and calm down ❤️
04:42 This little boy is my all time fave in this vid, I've seen that vid before and it never gets old. It's almost like a punchline, when he's like "Daddy can you say 'car on the road'".....then laughs hysterically and imitates his dad's accent back to him, and cracks up even harder. The moment when you realize he truly gets the whole accent difference, and he wasn't just mindlessly laughing. That kid is so smart. And that laugh is everything!
That little one perfectly echoing both the American and Ulster accent is amazing! My kids never picked up their mum's Irish accent, though their imitations are spot on! 😄
The little kid with the sentences in the school uniform could have been my dad as a kid. My dad is 87 and we live in Canada now but he slips back into the old accent with every story he tells. 😂
So adorable! I visited the UK this past summer (I'm American) and was on a ferry on the River Thames with this primary school behind us on a field trip. One of the students, probably around 7 or 8 years old, said to her teacher "I always feel like I'm going to get eaten by sharks." Took a lot of willpower not to laugh out loud.
@@eveningafterrain 14 yo, living for three weeks with an english family... the scariest thing I've done to this point in my live, but also one of the best. Of course I improved my english skills, but also gained a lot of confidence... Thanks to the wonderfull, lovely family. I highly recommend it. We had english lessons and also trips to London and Cambridge and other places. I don't know, who was scared more... Me or my mum, whose precious little girl was in a foreign country, with a foreign language, staying with foreign strangers.
Silly American, here. I can’t watch Martin and Bex without subtitles. It’s a shame, because I find them hilarious, and I wish I had more context. Is anyone here familiar with them? Do you know where their accents are from? (I pluralize accent, because I don’t think they have the same one.)
The little girl thinking she was going to Meghan's wedding was so funny. That's something my girl would have done at that age. Having a royal wedding party at school would have automatically been translated to an invitation to the royal wedding in her mind 😂
The little girl who wanted to go to the wedding, aw - what a sweetie. However, she showed great life skills when she reasoned that Meghan didn't know her and made herself feel a bit better.
"Cah on't road" kills me. My parents and older siblings were all born in Lincolnshire and spoke a bit like that. I grew up in Rugby (then South Africa) and speak like a civilized person 😁
@@CERWINVEGAredRING Hahaha - you can tell a Yorkshireman, but you can't TELL a Yorkshireman !!! A few weeks ago I was in the UK visiting my youngest, took a route through North Yorkshire from Harrogate to the Lake District. Some of the most beautiful countryside and picturesque villages anywhere on earth. So have to agree with you Specter, irrespective of what the locals sound like 🤣🤣
@@emneeson oh, ok that's cool. See how it's becoming an American slang for the anti vaccsers .. Sorry I had no idea. Anytime anyone famous gets sick or dies in America... Some people start chanting It's because they got the COVID vaccine.. it's getting very cliche.. I'm tired of America..
👍 I think the dad got revenge by putting the video on social media. I was fuming listening to that sweet little boy. That teacher is a ***** and shouldn't be teaching kids. Edit. I put 5 asterisks and RU-vid shortened them to 3 🤷 this world is going nuts!
@@jemmajames6719 All you're hearing is the POV of a 5/6 year old boy. What's the teacher's POV? Maybe she was exasperated enough to say something like that, but you don't know the tone of voice. I know teachers and all these comments make me think of the parents that go marching into the school everyday- sometimes to complain about something a child has completely made up or exaggerated.
I lived in England for almost 1 1/2 yrs. While there I got a job at a preschool daycare, my class had about 7 kids (they were sooo cute). Anyways I was teaching colours, so I asked one little fella white colour their pants were - so he pulled his pants open & pulled up his underwear - he said 'white! In England underwear/panties are referred as pants. That 31 yrs ago & to this day I still feel a little bit 'homesick'!!
When I arrived in the UK and discovered all the different accents I was mind blown. It only took 7 years to understand them and nobody could understand my Aussie accent. I thought a Scottish lad asked me for an orgee at the bar, apparently he just wanted an OJ to drink! 😅
When I was young I had a very harrowing experience when visiting my nana in South Wales. I grew up 40 miles away in Herefordshire so sound a tad yokel I suppose but I thought asking for a Mars bar at the sweet shop would be ok. Can I have a Mars bar please? A what love? A Mars bar. A what bar? A Mars bar. No sorry my lovely but what is it you are after getting? (looking at me like I was speaking a foreign language) A ... Mars ... bar (said with slow and deliberate emphasis and an ever reddening face) Ohhhhh. A Maaaaaarrrrrs bah. There you are now. I never went to that shop again.
As an Indian who had been introduced to English by the Brits many years back, I land in London for the first time and the sandwich shop lady at the airport asks me, "Di shyou want Boutter on the braid loav?" I thought I had learnt English wrong all these years. 😂
Yep same in the US. I ask people what country they are from and they look at me like I’m crazy cause they are USA also but I have trouble understanding them. 🤣🤷🏻♀️
Accents are so funny in kids. Especially the thick English or Scottish accents. They could read Shakespeare or sound like Scotty in Engineering on the Enterprise.
