Overly laboured

Essex English: 'ain't' and 'we was.' I thought it was a migrated East End accent (from the post-WW2 'new towns' > Harlow, Brentford etc.). There's also an 'old' Essex accent, almost extinct, which tends to be very burry or rhotic and is only spoken by old farmers (Suffolk is similar, with burry patois old farmer accent which no-one can understand).

Speaking with an Etonian accent is sadly superfluous to my needs, although, in truth, I haven't eaten yet. I may feel differently later.

What is the accent of Katherine Kingsley?

It is awesome, thank you.

So Brilliant✨

Ohh I LOVE THIS❤

I live in Kent but was born in London, people here sound like farmers in my opinion lol

Favorite? Well, it might have to be the Estuary accent! I have always loved doing voices and accents, and though I think I'm pretty good at a few different British accents, I'm trying to narrow it down and get more informed on the specifics. I think I'm good at a couple London accents and the two around Yorkshire, maybe the West Country one(s) too. My grandmother was English/born to English parents, though she never lived there herself--she moved around all her life before coming to the US at 16. While I wouldn't say she had a discernible accent of any sort, she also generally didn't sound like most Americans, exactly, either. I noticed the Hampshire accent sounded similar to her.

Please provide to us more new videos about Hampshire English

Good video

Interesting perspective. Honestly don’t think it is the death of cockney, just that cockney may move to different pockets of the country.

Innit tho’?

I speak estuary :)

The Stranglers are from Guildford and Genesis formed at Charterhouse School in Godalming (not just Peter Gabriel)

Also; Sam Thompson from made in Chelsea is very similar to street posh. It’s basically mockney with Americanised way of speaking. Usually it’s new money rich families who aren’t esblished to the upper classes will have this juxtaposition. Affluent to fly around to America for opportunities and but want to see edgy and daring go to localised areas of the poor and middle classes.

You could always move to Elephant and Castle?

Can anyone tell me the accent of the host of TH-cam's Wings of Pegasus? I find his accent very charmimg.

Ummmmm no. Lol

These accents are relatively soft....years back they would have been much broader.

Why is it none of these English speakers can do a cockney accent?

Southern British accent sounds so cute ❤❤

These accents are a dying language, soon never to be heard 😢

How about the posher north London accents? People from Hampstead/Primrose Hill/Highgate etc don’t sound like they’re from Essex but the accent isn’t quite RP sounding like West London. I have this accent but have never been able to pinpoint it

so the bo' oh' u wo' er was true!

bok gibi olmuş 🤮🤮🤮

And my Boston accent was born ❤️

I was born and bought up in East London but dont fit nicely into any of those accents, I certainly dont have cockney but also not RP. I feel like East London has its own new accent, which no one mentions its probably MLE and abit of RP, lets just call it MLERP. 😅 Where is so diverse, and I do two jobs, one where people speak with RP and also work for West Ham FC where most people speak Cockney, also most the maintenance workers and market workers have been cockney, but also alot of asian and africans in East London but where I done a law degree I was encourged to pronounce things properly, so its almost like every setting has a differnt London accent for me, so I probably have a combination of many accents of London, rather than just one.

I feel like Billie Piper is Estuary. Can't see much difference between SSB and Estuary

I loved this! I was born within the sound of Bow Bells (cockney, grew up in Middlesex (Greater London - West) and speak RP. It's the first time I have heard the explanation for me saying 'BARTH' or 'CARSTLE'. Thanks for that!

😊

Thanks. I'm waiting for your video regarding Southern English please.

Someone put together a sequence of clips for TV, with Jagger using a different accent in each. So, for example, there was a posh clip, then cockney, southern states American and so on.

Thanks for explaining. Georgia, U.S. 😂 We do so love listening to and viewing Gerald. He's delightful. Being southern, there've been times when I've had to spell certain words when speaking to Northerners. One example is saying towel but having it be mistaken for tile.😅

Oi!!!! Don't forget Dick Van Dyke.......

Hello Sir! I am the one who is looking for a native speaker of London, England, who generally speaks English with Standard British accent or Modern RP accent. I am Indian. I generally speak English with a Standard British accent. But I don't know how I sound like, whether my accent is right or not. Therefore, I am looking for someone who can assess my accent and confirm whether my accent is accurate or not. I want someone to tell me if my accent is really British Modern RP or not, just by listening to my audio.

Thank you! ❤

I went to London for the first time in 2022. I didn't have any problem to understand the English. However, when I was on the underground or in the streets, I heard some people speaking in Cockney accent I think. This one is harder to make out haha!

Dear Jon, I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say that I think your videos and your explanations are great! I'm gradually learning to pronounce things in a way that's more "British" than what we were taught at school in Germany. I find it frustrating that when we were students, we could choose to speak and write in either BE or AE. As a result, we ended up orientating ourselves more towards AE. I wish I could really manage to sound like a Brit, but unfortunately I can't eliminate the accent of my German mother tongue. I think we Germans who don't live among native English speakers are doomed to forever carry this stigma when speaking English. But with the help of your videos I'm on the right track! Thanks a lot!

❤ good video. Could you please provide us some videos for Southern English and which will be long videos. Thanks

I’m from west London ❤ Thank you for this vid❤

hey there is this movie where there are 4 lads and they are into crimes like hitting people. One day their leader gets caught. He gets worked on by the scientists and an approach to cure his behaviour. so they make the leader watch certain empathy generating video I guess. they induce fake tears in his eyes while making him watch the videos. then he is set free. later on even the thought of crime would make him feel sick and nauseated. people discuss how it was unethical to fix his nature by giving him symptoms that would suppress his nature. I couldn't find the movie name in this video but the movie delivers cockney slangs. I've found a keyword here British gangster movies !!!! I'm gonna go find.....
