I'm American, and I'd say that Lauren nailed the shopping skit! That particular part was outstanding. It sounded so natural and I loved the way they bounced off each other. Very well done!
Yeah she did really well. Imo the words she was corrected for also sounded really good but Christina was just being a bit nitpicky (probably because she thought she couldn't say passed to everything :) ) as she only said she should say it faster.
@@NicholasJH96 probably because it’s harder for Americans to differentiate between these types of accents. They all have a common R and A sound, which since the US doesn’t have the same R and A sound, it sets it further apart.
West Coast American here, Lauren did a fantastic job overall. I'm sure I'd eventually pick out that something 'wasn't quite right' but in a brief and casual conversation where I wasn't trying to 'spot the foreigner', she would certainly pass as a native with perhaps some slight unique personal speaking quirks.
Impressive. It's pretty clear that they learn American accents from Hollywood though. That was straight-up California. The reverse would be an enormous challenge. Americans aren't exposed to British accents in the same way that Brits are exposed to American ones via Hollywood. Maybe if you find a lifelong Harry Potter fan or something.
@@charlienerd Yeah, usually any news we hear from the UK has to do with the Queen so that’s the accent we hear the most. But there is like a bazillion British accents lol
Lauren is legit convincing, despite perhaps exaggerating the end sounds a bit much. But if she tones down that "valley girl" twang, she sounds like anybody from the US. That was so good!
Once she dropped the fake valley girl accent, sped up, and stopped over-emphasizing certain sounds she did really well! Especially the shopping skit!! Well done 😛
I'd like to hear Lauren speak with a generic American accent. It seems in a lot of these accent challenges the non Americans always use a California accent.
@@gcfournier3386 Perhaps I should have said the annoying Cali girl accent. You are correct, a lot of Californians speak with a generic American accent.
We Californians mostly don’t have the valley girl accent. In fact, we often make fun of it as well. The west half of the country tends to have a general American accent.
VERY well done! A cool confound that "helps" is the fact there are so many diverse accents and regional dialects within the US itself. So like Christina said, most people would just think she is from a different state. Overall nailed it! So next: Christina speaking only a UK accent? 😆
Kind of cute how they have (unconsciously) learned to cover their teeth with their hands when they laugh the way most girls do here in East Asia. This video is not just about an American and a British girl having fun with language, but also a way to see how living abroad can change the way you walk, talk and move in general.
Thank you for this lovely video. Christina and Lauren are so much fun together. It's infectious. I'm not finding many funny things anymore but these videos are both educational, interesting and funny. ❤️️🎆🙋♂️
Lauren really did well. It'd be interesting to see her try a US southern accent, it's the smoothest of the American accents, or maybe an accent from my neck of the woods, and talk about da Packers playin' da Bears in a couple weeks, get her to really draw those vowels out, and shorten the consonants (most of us don't really use that harsh of an accent, as it is not the most attractive sound). Then in all fairness, have Christina try to do Glasgow, as we Americans aren't good at rolling R's, we all pick RP or Cockney to do, and then mix the two together.
As an American, if we just talk about a tuna sandwhich, it isn't toasted, so if Lauren wants the bread toasted, I think saying "toasted tuna sandwhich" is appropriate. "Toastie" would cause confusion though. :)
@@marydavis5234 Nothing wrong with toasting them. I was just saying a tuna sandwhich is not defined as using toasted bread, so if you ask a random person for a tuna sandwhich and it isn't toasted, they wouldn't be wrong. Thus, if someone specifically wants the bread toasted, then it makes sense to actually say "toasted tuna sandwhich".
This is really fun! It is so funny. For whatever reason this reminds me of me and my friends speaking like 5 different languages between us. The five different languages being Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Bengali. We were playing a game that we made up were we spoke a different language with each member of the group. Not that I think y'all would play this game but...To explain there are four players in my game: Me(Rupa), Nali, Volya, and Mayisha. Rupa speaks/understands: Chinese, Bengali, Korean, Japanese. Mayisha speaks/understands: Bengali, Korean, Chinese. Nali speaks/understands: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian. Volya speaks Russian. But basically we made it so that we had to translate for each other. It was really fun.
It looks so much like school English classes random conversation 😂 of course if you have eng as second language 😂 I just laughed the whole time🙈 I would die from embarrassment 😅
Lauren 最喜歡的電影是《我的少女時代》?! 每次聽到別人提到跟台灣有關的(且跟中國無關)都會驚訝一下ww Lauren's favorite movie is "Our Times"?! I get surprised every time people mention Taiwan (and it's not about China) LOL
I'm binge watching this channel! 😍As a korean, 2:02 Christina here sounds like so much korean😂 Even though she said "really" but it turns into "진짜?!?!" to my ear probably because the intonation is so much similar with koreans do
LOL that was awesome, she did great! I always think it's harder for Americans to copy English accents since we don't really hear too much of it in our media.
Lauren - you did surprisingly well - congrats - that had to be hard. I noticed that British actors playing the role of an American on British dramas always speak t-o-o s-l-o-w-l-y... You were able to pick up the pace really well... "I would like to order..." We drop the word 'order' when we reply to the order taker - we deem it unecessary... we would just say, "I'd like a/the tuna sandwich..."
