As an American who's been watching British TV and movies my whole life the Cockney accent was always my favorite. I just smile whenever I hear it. Just seems so down to earth, friendly and fun and I can relate to that. RP kind of intimidates me.😄

@JoaoVictor-rd9gz Год назад

That's true, because your accent uses a lot of nasal sounds which almost all latin languages are made off not just Spanish. So for romance language speakers wouldn't be that hard to learn your accent as well.

@andrewmize823 Год назад

Alfie is one of my favorite characters in the show. Equal parts funny and intimidating. Something about a cockney accent combined with a rumbly voice adds an extra dimension of menace to a hard geez.

Great lesson! So engaging! It’s so important to be able to understand different accents but not to copy them when learning English (unless the learner is living there and wants to fit in) as if the learner repeats it to someone who isn’t cockney they may get a few funny looks 🙈. If I spoke like this in the north people would ask me why I’m not talking properly 😂

I've got the English C1 certificate (I'm Spanish) I lived in Benidorm (I'm sure you've heard about it) for more than 10 years. I had many British friends and I heard many different accents. When you say in the video that your accent is from Birmingham, I've just remembered that many British used to think that I was from Birmingham, when they listened to me. They thought I was British!!! From Birmingham!!!

As, I guess, the closest thing to an Australian RP speaker, (thank you, mum and dad), I have traveled this wide, brown land extensively and have always found the regional dialects of Australia fascinating. I don't have insights into the minutia of our accent that you clearly have yours, but love listening to foreign accents as well. I'm getting pretty good at nailing down at least the rough area in the UK and the Americas from which the speaker harks. Thank you for your infinitely interesting videos which help me with my amateur studies.

Very cool. I love Tom Hardy. My wife is from Cambridgeshire, so she has a soft Southern accent. She has lost some of it due to living in the Southern United States for the last eighteen years. My friend Steven is a Jordy. I also know people from Essex and Wales. My family is from Scotland and I still have family in Dundee. They tell me I am Scottish, but some Scottish people say I am not. I guess I will just say I am a Gael. I do speak a fair amount of Scots Gaelic.

The Cockney accent is one of the most famous ones in America and the rest of the world remembers the famously bad one done on Mary Poppins. We had a good example in the character of Private Newkirk from the 60's sitcom 'Hogan's Heroes'. You may want to look that up. From what I've heard it isn't one that got played on British TV much but I've been told its been compared to McHale's Navy or Dad's Army. (which *_I_* haven't seen...maybe I'll look them up)

Mid-Atlantic/Northeast American here. We definitely drop the g here to this day. I have London, Irish, and German ancestry, which is typical for the region, and some of the gestures and expressions you used here, but did not mention, I recognize in specific areas, like New York. Some of them got picked up by later Italian immigrants, and mixed with some of their cultural gestures to get the NY-gangster movie type from the 1930s-now. Interesting to know where specific pieces of the puzzle came from!
