I live in Florida, USA and have a co-worker with a cockney accent. She told me that a lot of people here somehow mistake it for an Australian accent. I have to admit hearing a cockney accent in person is an odd experience for me. It's a pretty 'extreme' accent to my American ears and you only hear it in television and movies over here, making it seem almost fictional.
I went to America with my brother a few years ago and literally everyone asked me what part of Australia I was from! It got on my wick after awhile! I was born in Whitechapel, London! Well within the sound of the bells. I am a Cockney!
@@victorian-dad LOL apparently I'm the only American who knows about the sound of the bells thing. I guess there aren't many people watching BBC America over here. The hilarious part is Cockney and Australian are about as far apart as you can get when it comes to English dialects. We Americans are a friendly and curious lot when it comes to people visiting from far away and mysterious places, and I hope you enjoyed your visit from the down under...😁😁
When I met my first American (from Georgia but worked in florida) He asked me what part of Australia I was from. I replied " Essex mate"! I did a bemused look. even more when I told him that was in England. I don't think he believed me. lol

yes, that's spot on too. Many cockney men, and women too, like to act tough and pull faces when they speak, especially when they say something like, "you're 'avin a laugh ain'tcha? ain't no one gunner pawl the wall ova my eyes"
I don't think they can. I spoke with some English fans during the World Cup in Brazil. Three of them were from East London (WHU fans) and they all talked like that. But the ones from Liverpool (Scouse) and Newcastle (Geordie) , holy shit mate. I don't know what that shit was, but it wasn't English.
As a french, i found it very interesting. Thats exactly that kind of accent i try to catch watching UK series or films. That reminds me when i used to work with lots of english mates ages ago. Cheers ma'e.
I've heard the 'theory' that the Australian accent is just Cockneys speaking while squinting in bright sunlight. It's certainly plausible, and not just linguistically. XD
Cockney sounds like someone who had a hard time getting to work on a cold morning whereas Australian is someone who spent all day working in direct sunlight and has had their brain cooked, only for it to be rehydrated by some shitty lager and a pack of darts.
I love this accent. Hahaha. I'm Spanish, so imagine how difficult it could be for me... I've got the C1 English certificate. I understand quite a lot. I think it's funny because they speak like if they eat half of the words... 😂❤ And they sound like tough guys...hahaha Thanks for the video! It's great!

This is hilariously brill. As a Northern Irishman, I lived in London for 27 years and from day one I imitated the cockney accent for a laff, to be heard, to join in and in the end no one would believe me when I spoke in my usual northern Irish brogue. I fooled the fecking lot of them, makes me chortle even now 7 years after leaving.

He forgot to say that before you even start talking cockney you need to have the aggressive mindset of ‘Wot you looking at?’ ‘d’ya want some.’ ‘Come on then if ya fink you’re ‘ard enuff’ . Notice how his eyes bulge when he speaks and the furtive looks left and right as if by habit to see who is around.

It would make more sense if you called it an English accent. By calling it a British accent, he would also have to sound Scottish and Welsh. As England Scotland and Wales make up Britain.
All those parts of the UK that you mentioned are places in England. Therefore they are English accents. Not British. America has many different accents and is classed as the American Language because America is classed as one country. The welsh especially so, do not speak English, they speak welsh. Welsh is their first language , which is a completely different language to English. You are saying is that the welsh language is British. That is completely wrong. I suggest you listen to someone speaking Welsh. So.....the Welsh language is guess what......Welsh. NOT British. England Scotland And Wales are all classed as seperate Countries. Just like America and Canada. I speak English because i was born in England. And i definitely do not speak Welsh. So as i just correctly pointed out. There is no such thing as a British language.
fooloof wow you spoke to two welsh people? wow Well fool i live in the Chester area which is classed as North Wales. I know many Welsh people from all parts of Wales. Most people do speak Welsh, not English. They only speak the English language around English people. lol at mug. It is you who are the mug. Do you know what the word United means?! It means together, have a look in the dictionary you might learn something. You seem to not understand what a simple word like United means. You sure need to learn what English words mean before you start an argument in English. It is a Kingdom made up of three countries. And guess what...its united. Plus where according to my logic, did i say i don`t think there is a United kingdom? You don`t know how dumb you sound. You are digging yourself further into a hole. You should at least bring a valid argument. All you sprout is stuff that does not make any sense at all.
***** 1) You did not read what i said. I said, around the Chester area. Which is North Wales. I did not say i live IN Chester. 2) I bet you just googled that 1 in 5 speak it. In fact that is correct for the younger population. Most of the older population though speak Welsh as their main language. Even if it was true that most do not speak it, welsh is their own language, and by saying it is not their language is just stupidity.

It’s amazing how many of these are the same in Australian, we even have rhyming slang. For many years I thought Australian copied many things from cockney but it’s interesting if you look into the history of the Australian accent, many of the original convicts were poor cockneys. Over time the rhyming slang became unique to Australia, so it wasn’t copied it evolved from cockney. So to ‘take a look’ in original cockney was butchers hook, and down under it changed to captain cook. I think if Jason S or Michael Caine or Danny Dyer etc were to try the Australian accent they would probably nail it, and it’s not easy to do well
I'm an English schoolteacher, doing a presentation about Cockney accent, and I'm totally enjoying this video, brilliant acting! Greetings from Moscow, Russia :)))
ze Ivandélio Yes. Our d in the middle of a word or in the end, sounds like a th in the word "the". And our z, and c (only c followed by e or i) sounds like th in the word "think"
Cockney accent (that was spoken by my first ever customer) almost made me quit my first job as a helpdesk agent as a non native English speaker. :D Nowadays I am fine with various accents: Scottish, Irish, even Australians, but still have hard times understanding cockney.
@@heningpda7458 Oh clearly you haven't met New Yorkers/Brooklynites which sounds different to Bostonians. Not to mention the Californians/Valley Girls accents. I haven't even touched the whole Southern thing yet, from Texas to ATL and the Bayous.
I was super confusing. You started talking about double negatives in the third person, but this video was fantastic. Working on some tabletop, rpg character work, and this has been fantastic. Thank you.
I'm from portugal and we're taught British English at school, we're mostly taught the RP accent, but you can choose to talk with wtv accent you like as long as you're speaking english clearly, most people aquire a regular flat american accent. I can do RP just fine but i realized i can't do a cockney accent to save my life xD I could do a scottish one but this is too much xD
Th becoming v Er becoming a Words being mushed together Vowel sounds changing There are so many similarities between this accent and African American accents, imo
Great video and explanations! I have been perplexed by this accent for the last 40 years. To me it sounds like a deaf or hearing impaired person speaking. I was newer able to understand much of it. For me, as a Swede, Cockney is as frightening as the most incomprehensible Danish dialect.
Cockney has been around longer than Boston has mate. Where do yiz think the Bostoners got their accents? mix of English and Irish. however, being from Ireland, when I go to Boston, no one there sounds Irish at all. Unless they're also from Ireland
I rented the movie, 'Snatch' and had to interpret for my friend who spoke English. This video is funny and educational. I'm so glad I came across it. ❤
I just love it! Such a pleasant accent to be heard.. Going to practice the cockney accent harder without making the stressful face in every words pronounced 😂
+Learn English with Papa Teach Me yeahh! Why not.. What i mean is there's a feel of enjoyment and satisfaction for me every time i heard them talking to each other. I just love it lol 😁 I'm really interested in discovering all those English accents.
+Learn English with Papa Teach Me sure lot of peoples love it as i do.. They just don't have the chance to use it and practice coz it's really hard to find someone with the cockney accent in another country. I do love it coz I've got the chance for a conversation with some of the true Londoner and i found that their accent is really interesting! Happy enough to make friends with em all.
You've got an amazing acting talent! This lesson of yours reminded me of my time in London, I have such fond memories. It also reminded me of Eastenders! I also find cockney rhymes very creative.
Watching Doctor Who when I was growing up as an American made me realize I speak proper English though I still believe my Pittsburghese accent is a bit stronger when I'm out of the area. Usually can recognize a Cockney accent though. For example, I was visiting a few friends in Virginia and the neighbor was an older British lady of high society. Either we get talking and realize she's from London so I asked and I believe she said she's from London or southern England in general. Spoke about politics briefly and she asked how I knew somewhat famous British people. Just charismatic and networking I suppose lol
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels brought me here.. I just love this accent. English can be the most beautiful language with some accents, including the Cockney one ! Greetings from a Anglophile Frenchman. I can now start and practice my Cockney English 😃
I hope you read your comments. Since I was young when I go into public I always use a cockney accent. To this day I still do. I went to Starbucks and ordered my whole drink that way. I live in America in the state of Ohio. Born and raised. Your accent is the best sexiest accent in the world!! Very cute to😉 I will and I'll be following you. Have a good day😊
It is very similar to Brazilian Portuguese. We Brazilians. we transform the "L" into "W", type: Brazil, we Brazilians speak "Brasiw". The "H" is mute in the Portuguese language, be it in Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, etc. Our English teachers, often to help us with the sound of "TH", teach us this digraph with a "V" sound. Here, in the Brazilian Northeast, we also use the "Double-negative", type: ""Não quero, não!" - "I do not want no!" Strong hugs, and congratulations for the excellent accent class and English language!
The double negative isn't right. "Não quero, não." is not a double negative it's a redundancy, what you you mean is "Não quero nada." that's the double negative, not wanting nothing is wanting something.
Many of those aspects (if not all, I think the only one that does not is changing "t" for a glotal stop) are present in portuguese. Maybe portuguese immigrants helped developing the lower class accent in XIX and XX century England.
I knew the info already but I came here to see the mannerisms 😃 I feel like people who speak cockney have a certain almost dance like movement when they speak, it’s very interesting to see the difference in demeanor between various accents 😃 Cool video too! Very nicely explained !👍🏼
+AESCULAPTORmark3 Any typical non-speaking accent will kill it. You don't have to be insulting just only highlighting the fake Jamaican accent. Funny though, as it made me laugh the way you put it!!!
I needed something for a D&D character and this really helped me key in my voice for him. I'm English anyway but from the home counties so have quite an RP accent. Watched this a few times, then revisited Turkish from Snatch and Roy Kent from Ted Lasso. Came out alright I reckon. Thanks

The welsh especially so, do not speak English, they speak welsh. Welsh is their first language , which is a completely different language to English.
You are saying is that the welsh language is British. That is completely wrong.
I suggest you listen to someone speaking Welsh.
So.....the Welsh language is guess what......Welsh. NOT British.
England Scotland And Wales are all classed as seperate Countries. Just like America and Canada.
I speak English because i was born in England.
And i definitely do not speak Welsh.
So as i just correctly pointed out.
There is no such thing as a British language.
fooloof wow you spoke to two welsh people? wow
Well fool i live in the Chester area which is classed as North Wales.
I know many Welsh people from all parts of Wales.
Most people do speak Welsh, not English. They only speak the English language around English people.
lol at mug.
It is you who are the mug.
Do you know what the word United means?!
It means together, have a look in the dictionary you might learn something.
You seem to not understand what a simple word like United means.
You sure need to learn what English words mean before you start an argument in English.
It is a Kingdom made up of three countries.
And guess what...its united.
Plus where according to my logic, did i say i don`t think there is a United kingdom?
You don`t know how dumb you sound.
You are digging yourself further into a hole.
You should at least bring a valid argument.
All you sprout is stuff that does not make any sense at all.
*****
1) You did not read what i said. I said, around the Chester area. Which is North Wales. I did not say i live IN Chester.
2) I bet you just googled that 1 in 5 speak it.
In fact that is correct for the younger population.
Most of the older population though speak Welsh as their main language.
Even if it was true that most do not speak it, welsh is their own language,
and by saying it is not their language is just stupidity.
Learn English with Papa Teach Me Now, just for him to teach how to say, "Boris the Blade, or Boris 'the Bullet Dodger.' As bent as the Soviet sickle, and as hard as the hammer that crosses it. Apparently, it's just
impossible to kill the bastard."
"I ain't got none mate!" Just brilliant, fantastic characterisation and so helpful.
Just for you to know: we were shown this video at the university lecture of sociolinguistics, and I personally, as a ESL teacher, give some of your videos to my students. feel the lvl)
Amazing! 🤟😁❤️
You should really start an acting career ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ laughed the whole time. Love you!
It’s amazing how many of these are the same in Australian, we even have rhyming slang. For many years I thought Australian copied many things from cockney but it’s interesting if you look into the history of the Australian accent, many of the original convicts were poor cockneys. Over time the rhyming slang became unique to Australia, so it wasn’t copied it evolved from cockney. So to ‘take a look’ in original cockney was butchers hook, and down under it changed to captain cook. I think if Jason S or Michael Caine or Danny Dyer etc were to try the Australian accent they would probably nail it, and it’s not easy to do well
When I heard some actors talking cockney, I honestly thought it was australian XD
Aussie's always make everything about themselves, in comment sections. Makes me cringe hard
The Australian accent is not that hard to do for some people
@TheLatiosnlatias02 I dunno what do you think? Cockney was around long before the Australian accent
As an Aussie i believe it
I'm an English schoolteacher, doing a presentation about Cockney accent, and I'm totally enjoying this video, brilliant acting! Greetings from Moscow, Russia :)))

As a German, I really appreciate the things where you replace the "th".
ze Ivandélio Not everybody -_-
As a Spanish speaker I don't. It sounds funny xD
ze Ivandélio Yes. Our d in the middle of a word or in the end, sounds like a th in the word "the". And our z, and c (only c followed by e or i) sounds like th in the word "think"
I always use the th more as a f lmao
Russians are aslo like to replace 'th' with v,z or f,s.
Why's he look so angry? And why does he sound like my dad? 😂😅
Plot twist: I AM your dad
My dad wishes he was that tall....
QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNN
The face is an essential part of Cockney. 😁😉
Cause your favah is a true landanah...
i love this accent in british movies( Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, football factory, Grimsby etc)
Now, it's time to watch Snatch again.
u like dags, mate?
loved that movie
Maître Renard ha my teen years. Well either way pretty soon all we will hear is Indian/Pakistani accent English
Lock stock and two smoking barrells
3:51 really caught me off guard.

It's nuffing

It's a good thing they couldn't afford Jason Statham. He might have been a lousy teacher, whereas this guy is a genius! I think I'm in love.
Cockney accent (that was spoken by my first ever customer) almost made me quit my first job as a helpdesk agent as a non native English speaker. :D
Nowadays I am fine with various accents: Scottish, Irish, even Australians, but still have hard times understanding cockney.
Gee, I had it right as a six-year-old, and they sent me to speech correction! They should have moved me to London!
LOL 😆
Sarcasm!! Sure you're not already a Londoner
You teach us the reverse of what Prof. Higgins taught Eliza Doolittle
Hhhhhhhhaaaa I was thinking the same tho 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wouldn't it be laavelyy 😂😂😂
I'm from Indonesia, OMG this Cockney accent is really difficult. My ear almost out of control when heard this 😂😂😂😂
Same as I do mate 😅😅 . I just can pronounce "nofing" till now
hmm , Cockney accent is more challenging than american accent
hello mister
@@heningpda7458 yeah !😂
@@heningpda7458 Oh clearly you haven't met New Yorkers/Brooklynites which sounds different to Bostonians. Not to mention the Californians/Valley Girls accents. I haven't even touched the whole Southern thing yet, from Texas to ATL and the Bayous.
I could listen to you all day!! Love it! I’m going to try it !!!
Do it ✌️🤓
Holy shit. Not only was it informative, but it was goddamn hilarious.
Thanks! :)
Lingvort ilarious!
now teach us how to do the eyebrows lol
lolll
The Great Alan Rickman led that class, God rest his soul.
Ceasar Clark lol
How to get fluent in cockney?
1. To drink a bo’le of vodka
2. To get a potato stuck in the throat
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video! You’re a leg. 😄👍
" ge' a pah-tay-ah stuck in va fro' " 😁
Be born within the sound of Bow Bells in the Protestant church in Cheapside!
I was super confusing. You started talking about double negatives in the third person, but this video was fantastic. Working on some tabletop, rpg character work, and this has been fantastic. Thank you.
I'm from portugal and we're taught British English at school, we're mostly taught the RP accent, but you can choose to talk with wtv accent you like as long as you're speaking english clearly, most people aquire a regular flat american accent.
I can do RP just fine but i realized i can't do a cockney accent to save my life xD I could do a scottish one but this is too much xD
Valathia portugal or tofaha
I mean because the accents vary so much between native speakers realistically we can understand English with an array of accents
Cockney is not a good accent to learn for foreign speakers -- it's hard to understand for natives. Learn either High RP or American.
Th becoming v
Er becoming a
Words being mushed together
Vowel sounds changing
There are so many similarities between this accent and African American accents, imo
Great video and explanations! I have been perplexed by this accent for the last 40 years. To me it sounds like a deaf or hearing impaired person speaking. I was newer able to understand much of it. For me, as a Swede, Cockney is as frightening as the most incomprehensible Danish dialect.
This vid is helping me IMMENSELY with an audition I'm doing. Thanks a bunch!
Basically, a British version of the Boston accent.
+Fake Ghost Also some New York in it too
Cockney has been around longer than Boston has mate. Where do yiz think the Bostoners got their accents? mix of English and Irish. however, being from Ireland, when I go to Boston, no one there sounds Irish at all. Unless they're also from Ireland
Dáithí Ó Mara Yes, thanks for correcting me.
+Dáithí Ó Mara I beg to differ. The /r/ American sound is an Irish heritage.
+Fake Ghost ooooh i love this actually, so true haha
Fantastic! I've just used your video to teach one of my Spanish students about accents in the UK. Very entertaining xx
I love how it's not actually Jason Statham, but this guy is so intense that I only noticed it halfway through the video
I rented the movie, 'Snatch' and had to interpret for my friend who spoke English.
This video is funny and educational. I'm so glad I came across it. ❤
Great film!
This video makes me exhausted.
+Knugen av Swärje Are there any native swedes left in Sweden?
andej A couple.
+Knugen av Swärje Lol.
+andej no
+andej lol no
I just love it! Such a pleasant accent to be heard.. Going to practice the cockney accent harder without making the stressful face in every words pronounced 😂
+Tengku AdLy lol pleasant?
+Learn English with Papa Teach Me yeahh! Why not.. What i mean is there's a feel of enjoyment and satisfaction for me every time i heard them talking to each other. I just love it lol 😁 I'm really interested in discovering all those English accents.
Or is it the word 'pleasant' are not suit to be used in my recent sentences? Haha my bad.. Still working on improving my English. :)
+Tengku AdLy haha not at all. I'm just surprised how many people see it positively!
+Learn English with Papa Teach Me sure lot of peoples love it as i do.. They just don't have the chance to use it and practice coz it's really hard to find someone with the cockney accent in another country. I do love it coz I've got the chance for a conversation with some of the true Londoner and i found that their accent is really interesting! Happy enough to make friends with em all.
You've got an amazing acting talent! This lesson of yours reminded me of my time in London, I have such fond memories. It also reminded me of Eastenders! I also find cockney rhymes very creative.
I'm a Vietnamese who tried to learn English through American teacher, and now the Cockney.
My future interviewer would be surprised
Need this to roleplay my d&d character
here for the same reason! i'm very bad at this lol
Exactly the same reason. Gon have me some fun with Ole Ronny
solidarity
'ere for tha same thing, classic rogue accent, innit?
LITERALLY, my session is in 2 hours lmao
I'm a little bit in love with this man :D
Don't let it bother you. That's just a tool's response to a girl having interest in someone that isn't them.
You're so unbelievably artistic, Aly! You should be a actor ...
This video was really funny. Loved it!
Im from Iraq country and i like English language.
Where r u from...?
Watching Doctor Who when I was growing up as an American made me realize I speak proper English though I still believe my Pittsburghese accent is a bit stronger when I'm out of the area. Usually can recognize a Cockney accent though. For example, I was visiting a few friends in Virginia and the neighbor was an older British lady of high society. Either we get talking and realize she's from London so I asked and I believe she said she's from London or southern England in general. Spoke about politics briefly and she asked how I knew somewhat famous British people. Just charismatic and networking I suppose lol
Look at his face.. When he switch to cockney
"I'm abart t switch on you bruv!" - i was calm a moment ago, but now I'm very angry with you because of what you have just done/said.
Learning accents not only changes sound but also facial expressions
This was awesome brova. Thanks mate. Very elpful.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels brought me here.. I just love this accent. English can be the most beautiful language with some accents, including the Cockney one ! Greetings from a Anglophile Frenchman. I can now start and practice my Cockney English 😃
Nothing (Nuffing) 3:51, your face features were hilarious. great demo. I like the accent.
It actually startled me. Like a jump scare 😂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You have such an amazing way to explain English. I've never been a fan of British English but with your videos I've started to like it
I hope you read your comments. Since I was young when I go into public I always use a cockney accent. To this day I still do. I went to Starbucks and ordered my whole drink that way. I live in America in the state of Ohio. Born and raised. Your accent is the best sexiest accent in the world!! Very cute to😉 I will and I'll be following you. Have a good day😊
You order your Starbucks in a cockney accent? In Ohio?! That's the best thing ever :) never stop doing that! Haha
Cockney accent always fascinated me. That first time I heard it closely it tickles my soul somewhere and it fascinates me no end.
It is very similar to Brazilian Portuguese. We Brazilians. we transform the "L" into "W", type: Brazil, we Brazilians speak "Brasiw".
The "H" is mute in the Portuguese language, be it in Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, etc.
Our English teachers, often to help us with the sound of "TH", teach us this digraph with a "V" sound.
Here, in the Brazilian Northeast, we also use the "Double-negative", type: ""Não quero, não!" - "I do not want no!"
Strong hugs, and congratulations for the excellent accent class and English language!
The double negative isn't right. "Não quero, não." is not a double negative it's a redundancy, what you you mean is "Não quero nada." that's the double negative, not wanting nothing is wanting something.
u avin a laff m8?
guguigugu larf
guguigugu innit bruv ill bashe ye fokin 'ead in i swear on me mum
Mustafa Fazal Not bad although :) we would never say i swear on me mum
Raymond Duke lol i know im just doing the stereotypical u wot m8 jokes ;P
haha i know man you did good really :)
Many of those aspects (if not all, I think the only one that does not is changing "t" for a glotal stop) are present in portuguese. Maybe portuguese immigrants helped developing the lower class accent in XIX and XX century England.
This is the best cockney vid on here by far. Forget everything else.
I really love how he say "cloves"
Me: I understood everything he said just fine
Me: (A few minutes later) Oh freaking captions were on! Oh well. I love the accent.
‘avn’t you forgot to mention the ‘k’ at the end of “-ing”...? eg. “Ev’ryfingk” (‘everything’)
I knew the info already but I came here to see the mannerisms 😃 I feel like people who speak cockney have a certain almost dance like movement when they speak, it’s very interesting to see the difference in demeanor between various accents 😃 Cool video too! Very nicely explained !👍🏼
Awesome! :D Your videos about accents are amazing!
Glad you like them! We have more coming! :)

Isnt Jafaican the best way to destroy it ? Ya get mee blud ?
+AESCULAPTORmark3 Any typical non-speaking accent will kill it. You don't have to be insulting just only highlighting the fake Jamaican accent. Funny though, as it made me laugh the way you put it!!!
+11kwright
Haha. Glad i made you laugh. No offense was intended in my comments.
It was very funny, believe me!! Still making me laugh when I think about it because you got it spot on!!
Gotta love those eyebrows!!!!!
I needed something for a D&D character and this really helped me key in my voice for him. I'm English anyway but from the home counties so have quite an RP accent. Watched this a few times, then revisited Turkish from Snatch and Roy Kent from Ted Lasso. Came out alright I reckon. Thanks
Love that 😂
