Thass how issaid, mate!
Im from birmingham and this sounds much more yam yam than from brum but good yam yam accent
Thanks Tamzin. Yes we were focusing on a stereotypical Brummy/Yam Yam accent - we know that not everyone speaks like this! Thanks for watching :)
i think its biscuit brand..😆😅
Ah....Ok..lol😅
I so sorry tht me came maybe across as rude and ignorant😶, im not from uk..
Thank you for your info to me my friend,def ill added area you mention to my visit list whenever I'm travel to UK.😊😙❤
artemis fowl yamyam is people from Wolverhampton
Blakenall Laughs people from Wolverhampton
tbh the Birmingham accent has evolved, it can be really posh or roadman or chavvy, it also depends on where in birmingham you are
Kermit is sexy mostly chavvy lol, roadmen are pure murdering scum
Throwow101 very true. i think it depends on which part of birmingham you’re in tbh. I don’t have a strong accent (i think..)
Mines roadmany
true lol
u smashed it. we on it
You forgot to mention "In'it" which a lot of us say after every sentence....
Yes! That's a good tip! We'll probably do a second Brummy accent tutorial at some point!
That's UK wide really. Well, England and Wales innit.
Haha thats the true..init!
Its not init in bham tho its more "enit" with an 'e' sound, or maybe thts just my brum accent laa
salma aw-hussein yh i agree with that
Everyone always stereotypes us brummies😂
I apprently have a decent accent but i used ti hang out with a brummie so much i actually started talking like it 😂 i didnt think it was possible
*to
But now it apprently comes out when im annoyed or in trouble 😂
@@gamingworldwithowen8693 I'm a brummie but moved to Ireland. Noone understood me at all! Then I picked up the Irish accent and when I went back after 6 years, noone could understand me in Brum! Silly fact... after a drink, my accent becomes extremely South east Irish!! 😁😁
Megan Dixie true dat
Peaky fookin blinders
The reason why people think Brummies have the worst accent is because they think we ALL speak with the Black County accent which isn't the case! Black Country is not Birmingham or in Birmingham. Those of us who are born and raised in Birmingham have a much more pleasant accent and tone 😊
yes!!!!
THANKYOU
As someone from the Black Country, I find the Birmingham accent worse than ours lol
It also changes the more south you go. Living in Northfield, we're one of the most southern areas of Birmingham and we sound a lot different to those in the north of Birmingham
Birmingham accent is much worse than the Black Country..
I'm from Birmingham and we don't really talk like that.
It really depends on what part of Brimingham you are from, the accent you guys where using was more Dudley and Black pool.
So all in all, we all have different accents I'm Birmingham it just depends on what part of brum your from 😊
Where tf did u get blackpool from
Hello , First of all , I'm from Turkey , my department is English language teaching and I need to make a presentation about accents . Can I ask you for a favor? Please , i will be waiting for your reply . 🙏
@@mmzz5330 what favour?
I know, people think all of Birmingham talk like that. I certainly don't.
I'm an American, Pacific Northwest state of Oregon. I am always astounded that a country smaller than my home state can have as many distinct accents as it does, or that there are such strong prejudices against certain ones. What a trip! For what it's worth, you and your Dad and Mom sound just great to me. I can understand everything you say and it flows nice. By contrast, I love a Scottish accent, but for real? It is hell for me to try make it out.
Portland or bend?
I spent a month and a half in Dudley and it was a nightmare cause i couldnt understand anything considering english is not my first language
Yes it's quite a strong accent for non-natives!
Oh come on we aren’t that bad 😂 the Liverpool accent is much harder to understand than ours!
Ooo yam ain’t gonna get much bettuurr than dudlayyy
@@rugbyjames3718 we don't speak like that at all
Because you was in dudley and not.birmingham Birmingham has nothing to do with dudley
Why does everyone think a Brummie accent is a Black Country accent?
They sound more yamyam than brummie, lived here since birth and never once bet a brummie sounding like these
I'm black country, Dudley, we have more of our own dialect than Brummy. Like,we say a lot of 'i ay, I cor, I bay'
@@royatkins4511 Nowhere near the same Roy.
@@amberlouise86 "i day thank youw was lie dat
DoDoszs
you should tell everyone the difference between Birmingham and Wolverhampton/Walsall. A number of times I've been away and been told I'm a Brummie is ridiculous. When we say bath and they say barth. its so annoying xx
That must be annoying! We will do another more in depth video on it soon! xx
Ha i hear you😂#BrumTown
Brummies dont say Barth, vast majority say Bath
no one in Birmingham says barth, they say bath, but alot of Birmingham people say larf where as black country people say laugh
As a Brummie, I came into this expecting another video where non Brummies do a really lazy and over the top impression of somebody from Wolverhampton. But this was pretty bang on. Really really good impression. If you watch Peaky Blinders, half the non Brummie cast don't do as good Brummie accents as this. Well done.
Thank you - glad you thought it was okay! Perhaps we'll write to the casting director! haha
It was still more yam yam tho
Are you mad I don't sound nothing like these pair n I'm from small heath ffs
Re the short 'a' sound, it depends on your background (I don't want to say class, but it's related) as well as what side of the city you live. So, many people I know will use a mixture of short and long 'a' sounds (the 'trap-bath' split) depending on the words. For example, I say laughter as in "larrrf" not "laff". I also pronounce garage as "gararrge" not "garridge" as others do. I live 4 miles south-west of Birmingham, so we verge on a Worcester accent that also can sound slightly Black country or even Welsh. My mother's family live 4miles outside Birmingham but the north east side, and they have a more typically 'Brummie' accent that is different to ours. Some of my uncles who have always lived that side almost have a 'country' accent, so when they say "last week" they use the long 'a' , so "larst" but then shorten week to "wik" so last week = larst wik. (which bizarrely is almost like the Blackcountry way, but that's the other side of the city to them!) What I think is obvious, though, is the typical Brummie accent people see on TV is not really true & representative of the variety of accents across the city.
The couple in this video are speaking how a Black Country resident would speak, NOT a Birmingham one. There's a huge difference!
sophisticatedmess I love how brummies try to distance themselves from the black country accent as if theirs is more superior or nicer sounding. The reality is it’s not THAT different at all.
It's similar but I wouldn't say it's a huge difference
To be fair I don't think these two should be considered authorities on any subject they discuss as no one could be as knowledgeable of the 200 or 2000 subjects they purport to have an understanding of on this silly schlock.
I’m from the US but lived around Birmingham for about five years and I used to tell my friends that everyone there sounds like they’re speaking on their tiptoes! By the time I left I had apparently picked up an inflection in my voice and my family thought I was putting it on LOL🤭
yeah they sound like they’re always asking a question
I'm Birmingham born and bred, my accent is pure Brummie and this is very, very good. Well done! no one can spot a false accent quite like a native - it instantly makes you cringe - but hats off to you...you do a really god job here.
Don't really get the yam-yam comments here, I guess they are people who have grandparents that once experienced a pork scratching.
Fair play to you both Joel, yer shirt's fine. Lia, if ever you fancy the Troc or the Briar - let me know....sigh!!!!
As a brummie most people will pronounce water like 'warta' and going like 'goin' we tend to leave out the endings of words such as 'are you kiddin?' Or 'are you jokin' and personally I always add an 'ah' sound on the end of my words such as 'oh my god ah' or 'shut up ah' if that makes any sense😂also 'leave me alone ah' I have quite a strong brummie accent but I personally like it
I learned more from your comment than I did in 5 min of wasting my time on this video. THANK YOU.
My dad and cousin are from Birmingham. My cousin has a really strong brummie accent whereas my dad doesn’t at all. Although, he does say bath with a short a sound and I say barth, carstle etc.
My Nan was from Birmingham and had the sweetest accent.
I think it's not only Birmingham, but also most elderly speak that way. love it when English people speak with that intonation. Sounds so beautiful, yet it's very hard to understand especially when they're talking too fast (well, they speak with normal speed but I can't hear anything haha). Thank you, this video makes me miss London so much.
How to be Brummie.
Be a fookin roadman
Will Lewis YT fooook😂😂😂
❤️I’m American & I love the Birmingham accent.❤️ The majority of the bands I love are from there, so I can’t dislike them. Plus the men are so adorable!
I'm from Birmingham
R u from Birmingham, Alabama?
Lol I’m from Birmingham and we sound nothing like that lol u sound like a yam yam tbh😂😂😂
Us yam yams are well posh😂
My great aunt and uncle are from there (I’m American) and it’s honestly such a comforting sounding accent
Sounds more like my accent (Black Country) more than Brummie. I’d love you to do a video on the difference between the Brummie and Black county accent :)
I've got a very strong Birmingham accent according to strangers and although it brought me down at first I have to embrace it and not care about what people think. I wouldn't want to be anyone else but me.
*THISSSS ISSS NOOTTTT THHEEEEE BBUURRRMMMIIINNAAAMMM AAACCEEENNTTT*
0:24 I'm a non anglophone who never lived in an anglophone country and I don't believe this accent is ugly at all. So, yes; any opinion is subjective, be that positive or negative. As a foreigner the differences in english accents from england to me are very slight, and therefore to me an english person from London, another one from Birmingham and another one from Manchester all sound more or less the same. To me they have the "english accent" from england, although english people say that this doesn't exist. But for a foreigner it does exist, because by just hearing you we can discern that you're not americans, australians, irish or scotts but english (I don't know what the welsh accent sounds like). Where from England is this person? From anywhere, but just from England.
4 am here in Argentina, and I'm watching this. Yes, very usefull, especially because I speak another lenguage 😂
Costa Rica here!
Hi.
I'm from Birmingham (living in Sheldon). I don't have a Birmingham a cent at all and I've lived here for more than 45 years. I am though consistently identified as being from the Midlands at least.
I've noticed that many people from other areas confuse the softer Birmingham accents to black country accents.
Great video. Thanx for sharing
I’m from Birmingham and no hate but I sound nothing like that at allll!!🤣
Same but I'm from West Midlands in West Bromwich
Love your video! My mother is from Walsall and my grandmother was from Birmingham. She passed in 2006, but I could set and listen to her talk for hours and so could my friends. I am from Indiana, USA. So my accent is drab and boring! Keep up your videos, so good to hear something familiar.
#Notifsquad :D finally a new upload. am also a youtuber and i enjoy your accent
Well done!! Love it! Thanks for watching! x
A minor note needs another note with it to make it minor, minor is something you can attribute to a chord not a single note
I stayed in a hotel in Birmingham a couple of years ago and asked the staff if they had any clean towels. They said ‘nowww, the hammer and chisel are dirtayyyy’.
As a yamyam, I don't really hear a Black Country accent as much as other commenters have said. Words like going are pronounced 'goo-in' and don't is pronounced 'doe' (like the female deer). "Om gooin to the shop buh mom sed doe spend all m'money" is "I'm going to the shop but my mom said don't spend all my money"
I was born in brum, now in Australia (50yrs).
Im glad I lost my accent.
I'm an American living in Birmingham, work in Walsall and have a hard time understanding both sometimes - they are definitely different (Brum and Black Country) but I secretly love them ...
I'm from Australia and I love your accent videos! So would love to see more
Hey Tara! Thanks for watching - we've done quite a few accent videos, and we are doing lots more very soon!
I’m from Birmingham and you sound like my brother and sister when they were little. I love it!
brummie accent starts at: 5:30
Brilliant. I can't agree more. Useless video.
One of my favourites of old is the 'tap' that is found in the letter 'r' as in "currants".
As a brummy, I feel upset that my accent is untrustworthy
I was born and bred in Bromwicham, but moved to California 38 yrs. ago.
It always amused me how Americans said they loved my accent.
Nowadays I can't even put it on when I want to.
I have to say that I've not heard anyone in Bromwicham lately that spoke anything like as broad as my grandparents' generation from the 1890s. The current generation of youngsters are too exposed to the speech from other areas, via travel and the media.
In the 19th century the working class rarely travelled around, so accents were re-enforced.
I don't think I ever heard my great aunt ever used the word "she", it was always "her", as in "Her was gooin down the shops", "Her woren't too busy," "Her give me ten bob."
Spot on.my Dad used to say 'ers a right cow .
I'm from dudley and I can tell this is more of yam yam accent
Your Mum Am ya
From Walsall myself
I like the accent, and I watch the Brummies Magnet Fishing and Brummies at Home all the time. I adore the family and their show, but in the years that I've watched them, I have to admit I understand about 30 or 40 percent of what they are saying, the rest is lost. But as I say, I love them and the show so I'll keep watching! Maybe one day it will all magically sink in! Thanks for the video.
woah woah woah woah, did u just say shakespeare used a brummy accent. hes from stratford, the poshest area of the west midlands.
But Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago, when the accent was different and more general
Philip Williams ok imagine everyone in the midlands with a brummie accent... not nice😂
I’m from Birmingham and we speak nothing like that, we don’t pronounce our gs for example the word going is pronounced “gowin” and We say window as “winda”. Tomorrow as “tomorra”. Water as “wara (war-a)
I have a brummie accent... why am I here
same reason I am to see if they think the Black Counrty accent is the Brummie one and yes they do a very common error. ( i am from East Birmingham myself)
I grew up with brummies all around me. Through the years I have definitely dropped it and I often get told I am quite posh considering. I would say I dislike the accent but if you have it, just embrace it!
That's interesting! Yeah people should definitely embrace their accents!
Is it just me or does it sound like Cheryl Cole’s accent
Cheryl has a Geordie accent. She's from Newcastle.
As a Brummie you guys are freaking me out because your making me realise how different out accents are and your right with the short a's etc. We honestly think we speak normal and everybody else is talking different. That said I love my accent and love being a brummie. I lived and worked in London for several years and has the piss taken out of me on a daily basis but I didn't care I was proud anyway.
haha, your accent is brilliant - don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
People from Birmingham, have all got speech impediments. Lol.
I am from Venezuela and when I was learning English, one of my teachers lived in Birmingham.(he ain't Brummie though) He was from Cape Verde and at first I taught he was pronouncing English wrongly. Afterwards I realised the existence of the Brummie accent by listening the Barclays premier League on BBC world service on Saturdays and there where a lot of reporters and comentators from the west midlands. Then I was wrongly associating the Brummie accent with Aussie accent until I watched the Peaky Blinders. (Of course plenty of the actors ain't Brummie but, I perceived the difference between Brummie, Yam Yam and Aussie. Far different. And if people in the UK doesn't like the brummie accent, well, I "luv" for 3 reasons (short A, intonation and the rothic R " short A and rothic R because of Spanish language and intonation because sounds nice. RP is comercial English (to be sold English for us English learners) but the brummie accent I really love it.
I'd like to see the main characters from Game of Thrones accents identified. Is Flea Bottom London? Is the north the north?
Ah okay - I'll have to get Lia on to this, because I don't watch GoT. Joel :)
o_O The only good reason to not watch Game of Thrones is if there's too much real life going on to be addicted to a TV show. It's the best TV show ever in history. I think that because every single person who's watched it on my recommendation (and I've told about 100 people because many of them are my clients), has fell in love with it. Some of them even gift me small things to thank me for the introduction.
Question to Leah then: Which is the northern accent which Snow and the Starks speak?
The north obviously is the northern accent (yorkshire mainly), flea bottom I would say is southern working class but then again Davos is from flea bottom and he speaks with a Geordie accent
Lol. Westeros I think is supposed to be roughly the UK and perhaps the Norse-settled islands near it, along with various other European analogues. King's Landing is London, the North is Scotland. The Iron Islands are perhaps the Faroes. Dorne is Spain. Lannisport is Liverpool.
Brian Santos north is not Scotland, its the north of England
i love how i’ve been born and lived in birmingham my whole life, yet i’m learning the brummie accent bc i really don’t know how to talk brummie
Sound nothing like brummies 😂 don’t make me laugh, if you don’t live here don’t try 😂
My boyfriend has a regional accent and I also have family from around that area. I do enjoy attempting to do the accent because i have a southern accent. My boyfriend says I am getting better at it. I have never felt so proud. :-D
I'd love to see of video of you guys doing the different American accents xD (if you haven't already)
We'd be awful! haha! We will give it a go!
Hello! I love your videos! I am needing to be able to write as Samuel Johnson and David Garrick, who were both from Lichfield, would have sounded. I can't figure out how to write "little" and have it read without the t's. I hope that makes sense. I couldn't find any videos on the Lichfield accent, so would the Birmingham accent be pretty much the same? I've read they pronounce punch as "poonch" other as "feyther". Can you help me? I am desperate. Love the cat shirt!
That’s not a brummie accent
hello i am argentina, i speak spanish
i like learning english english
a question
¿can the poeple canadian undertand this accent ?
l would like living in canada, l like having accent britanish and canadian (they don't mix)
in spanish sometime we don't undertand for other slangs and idioms
this
a person from argentina and other from spain and other from mexico. ¿can they get through?
yes, because they both speak spanish
this youtube channel is amazing
You should learn English first then you can get an accent
@@trobywalker1009 yes i'm doing
l wrote it like this because i was typing in the keyboard of the pc
i'm texting on my cell phone
@@trobywalker1009 l want go to canada, l have a american accent and british accent
and canada mix in them
here in Argentina l can't say anything
here everybody hates you if you speak about something of other country
@@trobywalker1009 can you undertand the people that live outta country? as new Zeland or australia

You still make mistakes fam
Keep the accents for later and focus on learning English first
And you can speak any accent you like you dont have to take other people's opinion very seriously
That cat shirt is so lit:)
Thanks to Peaky Blinders, I am now ordering my coffee American coffee in a Birmingham accent.
I like Peaky Blinders but I don't like this accent 😄😄😄
...and here I thought Ozzie talked like that because of all the drugs.
ouch😂
Ozzy*
There are a variety of Birmingham accents as two people from Great Barr and Longbridge, for example, would demonstrate.
Hello Joel & Lia from Birmingham.... Alabama. 😀 Love these great videos you guys do.
Thanks Nathan! Amazing! I bet your accent is sliiiiightly different to this one...! haha
British English with Joel & Lia yes, ever so slightly haha 😂
From one American to another, with all British welcome to look on. I was thinking about Birmingham, Al. I'm a Floridian, It's said we southern Americans tend to stretch our words out..What do you think, Nathan?
Miss Nic I definitely agree with you. We do stretch our words. It’s a very difficult habit to kick 😂 lol.
Birmingham, Alabama, US vs Birmingham, West Midlands, UK different away look like shopping a Building 🌇 around they!
I am just prrrrring and swooning! One of my favorite bands are from Birmingham Rngland & did get to meet them back in ‘08. I hardly notice the accent because I’ve been listening to them talk in interviews since 1981. The accent I seem to have a hard time understand is Liverpool so far.
I'm from Dallas Texas enjoy you banter your fun to listen to over a cup of joe on a Saturday Morning. You two make me laugh, you're a very funny couple. Thank you for the belly laughs. Thomas
I'm a Brummie & honestly these are the exact mistakes many actors in peaky blinders have seemed to make. Such as ending 'g' words with a 'k' which is not true, yam yam is much closer to that & a lot of the time you sounded Scouse (like peaky blinders). I feel like brummie is much more controlled than yam yam & yam yam is a lot more fluctuating in pitch & tone.
I’m from Birmingham and I just don’t say the “t’s” in my letters 🤣
Annie Moore Ariscon omg I never realised that I don’t say ‘r’ in my letters 😂😂
Annie Moore Ariscon nah I say ‘lea’ 😂😂
Annie Moore Ariscon ikr I never noticed it 🤣
Annie Moore Ariscon what accent do you have??
I m Brummie if lived in Cornwall for 30 years and guess what ?I have not lost my accent, surprisingly iv become very good at accents,so Londoners for instance think they don't have an accent,and take great pleasure in asking you where in Bham are you from,they reel back when I ask them what part of London they are from haha ,someone said on here brummie is the same as Black country ,not so, there is a vast difference, I m told down here I have a song song accent ,it's now mellowed somewhat only to allow Cornish folk to understand me but interestingly the Cornish are unapologetic for their strong fishermen accents and assume I can understand them no matter what region in Cornwall they are from,which I can now and they me so that's the answer pucker up and carry on, Up the Villa x
#proudtobeabrummie
Go Birmingham!
This is just hilarious!!! LOL And the comments!! ROTFL!!! I can "hear" it...
You have got one more subscriber!! Me! Congratulations 🎊 ❤❤
Thanks Mia! x
I used to live in Birmingham for few years , need about a month to get used to this and communicate properly .
Oh my gosh I have the same shirt Joel’s wearing lol
bella ok?
Joel - Lia. Try the accent of the American people of Southern Louisiana state. They run their words together. For example; Did You Eat would sound like Jeet.
Loved this video so much❤❤❤❤❤thanks for making this love you two✨
It’s very hard for non brummies who try to mimic our accent because they always end up doing the Black Country accent
Which is why people who aren't from brummy shouldn't be giving advice on how to speak it in the first place.
wahey i live in solihull and ya sound more yam yam tbh
As an Aussie who’s interested in British accents, I’d like to ask what are the main pronunciation differences between classic ‘brummies’ and ‘black country’. Accents. Also another obscure question ; the accent that one hears in the opening speaking part of The Move’s song. ‘Cherry blossom clinic’, is that a classic brumbies accent too or perhaps from another part of the midlands ? I’d be most interested to hear what people have to say. Milo
Thats a black country accent, im sure your relatives from solihull don't sound like that ahaa
Got a drama exam tomorrow, me and my team are doing a scene from peaky blinders so this was genuinely a life saver. Thanks so much.
Lia looks a bit like danni dyer
awesome video guys!... and I love your Cat shirt!! I'm interested in all sorts of accents but the variety of English one's fascinate me as I have some extended family from across the pond and I like talking to them with my faux accent. I by the way am Canadian with Italian roots so I know a thing or 2 about wacky dialects and their rules... however I wanted to ask you which English accent is the one that replaces the "TH" sound with "F" as in wif instead of with?
Thanks Frank! I love my shirt too! What an interesting mix! To be honest it's quite a popular feature of speech and isn't confined to just one area. But it's very popular in London accents - they tend to replace "th" with 'f' or 'v' (so it would actually be pronounced 'wiv' not 'wif', but words like 'through' would be pronounced as 'froo'). But you will be able to find that feature in lots of working-class communities as it's more of a class-feature rather than a geographical one!
😂 who’d want to sound like their are from Birmingham
I'm from Birmingham the accent is nasaley accent also you can be really happy or excited but still have the same tone also the g is bullshit we don't pronounce it so it would be sumthin not something and also we dont pronounce the H so it would be over ear not over hear and look at er air not look at her hair
You guys are great! It's always interesting those accents you've been talking in your videos!
P.S: I want that cat t-shirt, can I send you my address? lol j/k
Thanks Wallace! Glad you're enjoying the accent videos! haha, it's a fab tshirt isn't it!
Love the cat shirt. Is Gareth from The Office supposed to be from Birmingham? Also, when I studied in Ireland, my roommate’s boyfriend was from Manchester and he also said somefing, fink, etc
Sorry but you sound like you've got a cold I'm a brummie and our accent don't have and aaaaa on the end I don't say joellllll we don't Longen the words and we don't have duh duh voices we don't sound like a rhythm note
A touch sensitive, aren't you?
Love it I'm from dudley accent I Dow fink I'm broad but wen speaking to non West Midlands people u hear how broad I am
I hate the Birmingham accent.
wow YT rude
I hate you too
Keep your opinions to yourself because it’s rude.
I’m a brummy but tbh i think it’s awful aswell😂
Okay see ya then, noone gives a rats ass.
And, iambic pentameter is not exclusive to the Midlands (or Wales). It is the thump-thump of the human heart, which is why it is so easy to speak/learn and natural as a verse form. This is not hate, by the way, just factual. I have an MPhil from the Shakespeare Institute and am an actress with over 40 years experience. But other than those two points, I did enjoy your video and love the cat t-shirt.
As a Yank, my fav English accents are Yorkshire and Essex.
0:28 How can any accent be worse than scouser? I'm Spanish and I thought I knew english until I moved to Liverpool for 6 months.
Well done. You've definitely grasped the pronunciation of certain letters that give Brummies the unique sound. Many people also say 'mom' instead of 'mum'(it's just what we do).
Too many ignorant people are quick to slag us off without actually considering what we've brought to the world. Sadly, Birmingham massively undersells itself - we've got miles of canals, lovely parks, museums, Sarehole Mill and SO much more.
Places like Edgbaston, Bournville, Moseley, Harborne and Sutton Coldfield are in fact some of nicest places in Britain to live. If only people would care to see our city and our droll/down-to-earth attitude to life. Their loss I suppose...
Definitely, Birmingham is brilliant! Definitely gets a bad rep!
I used to be a brummie but I’m more Nottingham now I moved up there and I’m a mix of Nottingham and Birmingham so when I talk it could be anything at any time.
