The Irish and their accents are pretty universally loved in the US; even the Dublin accent which I always think is a yankee accent of some sort at first(I’m southern so I can’t differentiate the yankee accents as well as a yankee).
i’m american and the australian / irish accents are my favorite of all time. every single time i hear an irish accent, especially irl, it instantly boosts my mood lol. my maternal grandparents are from ireland so that could be a factor as well, but it’s nice to know they won’t find my american accent unbearable whenever i go there 😅
The American southern accent evolved from theScots/Irish who were the majority of the early settlers of European origin there. There were many other influences as well. There are differences within individual states as well.
That means 'Scots Irish' by the way, not 'Scottish and Irish', as many people don't understand that. It was Ulster Scot settlers (the children of the Scots who were planted in Ulster) who made up a huge amount of immigration to some southern regions like the Appalachia area.
I lived there for 3 months and woke up and everyone sounded American. It was crazy - It’s a survival skill I guess. I was there for 8 yrs and my ear had adapted the whole time - it was bizarre.
I have lived in the South, the Midwest, the Southwest, and the West Coast. Each with a distinct accent. I’ve also had quite a bit of vocal and diction training for the stage as an actor. I slip easily into the regional accent but not for long. I’ve also worked with people from all over the world so I find those accents very pleasing to the ear and easily understood.
My late husband (from upstate New York) had a gorgeous bass voice, smooth as silk. He could imitate an Irish accent, sometimes slipping into a Brogue well enough to be taken for a native. When we'd go out to music clubs, he'd go up to the bar and order us drinks and when he used the accent, I'd watch the ladies nearby. They would MELT... Take that as a hint, real Irishmen. Come to the States.
U gotta remember: every American accent came from another country. Listen to the southern accent real close, it's nearly an English accent. Even some Irish accents come through in Northern regional USA! It's very fun to think about the connections
She is black, Irish, many Black people live in Ireland many Brazilians, many Venezuelan’s, Mexicans Chinese Thai. Indians in Pakistanis. Check up on the Irish spice bag and look up who is the Taoiseach a Ireland
In Ukraine we have a famouse Ukrainian wrestler Zhan Beleniuk who is half Rwandese. He won gold at the olympics and is currently a member of parliament. Because he was born and raise in Ukraine for us he is Ukrainian and i found it extreamly funny when he spoke on US TV and you guys called him Ukrainian African and first and only „black” Ukeainian member of parliament which made him feel uncomftarble when he started talking because he spoke english with a Ukrainian accent. The place thet you are born shapes who you are, the way you think and it molds your identity. This girl you call african is more Irish then third generation Irish americans. And i fon’t meen it in a bad way. It’s nice to remember your regulate and ancestry but when you are born and raise and live in some country you are a native of that country.

I love how everybody's US accent is an amalgamation of Southern and SoCal Valley girl. I think they are maybe the most recognizable. Californian's have a southwesten accent which is shared with most of their neighbor states, basically talk slightly slower with a wide mouth. They Valley girl accent was mostly a wierd fad of teenage girls in the 90's I don't think I have seen a real life person in Cali non-comedically say, like omg in 20 years. What I would like to see is anyone in Europe try a Louisiana accent, I think its our most exotic and least appreciated accent.
I grew up in Northeast Louisiana & consciously shed 99% of my accent when I moved to Northern California, (didn't want the perceived negative attention) spent a little time in So Cal in college, relocated back up to Nor Cal for a number of years before moving to San Antonio 7½ yrs ago. It's interesting how colloquially/regionally accents can change & how word useage varies even between smaller areas such as North & South Louisiana to broader areas like California & Texas.
Hahaha. I love the Irish and Irish accents. So friendly sounding to my ear. Lol at the American guy who has lived in Ireland for 4 years and the best he could come up with when attempting an Irish accent was quoting a Lucky Charms commercial-- "magically delicious!"
I'm from Alabama and my mom's got a weapons grade southern accent. You can hear her accent in space. We lived in Europe for several years and everywhere people would go apeshit over her accent. Really a bonding quality.
I think it's mostly meant as appreciation and a compliment. Southern accents seem very warm and have a lot of character compared to more neutral accents and non-regional dialects.
I literally was laughing out loud to hear the Irish folks giving their hand speaking in an American accent. Vacationing in Ireland is definitely on my bucket list list!!!
Hello! Alyssa from Pennsylvania here- my ancestral line is filled mostly of people with Irish decent. I am partly Irish- only by blood. I am a proud American. Some German, Polish, and Czech after that are also in my blood. I ADORE the Irish accent as my family still has a certain very very faint one that I can hear. My great grammies last name was O'Hara. I also have the "Doyle" name In my ancestry. I'm very proud to have Irish DNA in my blood. ❤🤍💙💚🤍🧡
I am an American who happens to love Irish music. While I do not do this with all songs, there are some songs I automatically sing with an Irish accent. While I like Scottish, French, English, Italian, and other accents, the Irish accent is my favorite. The Irish sound so down-to-earth.
I have to wonder though, what do they think of our dialect here in the PNW? We have a very mild, smooth, clean dialect with a few, but not many, countryisms that sneak through time to time. Always hear about California, the South, and New England. Don’t get to hear as many views concerning the Midwest, Upper Central of the country, or the PNW.
I grew up in/around Washington, DC, lived in southeastern Virginia, Phoenix (amongst mostly displaced Midwesterners), Boston, and now San Diego for the past 2+decades. I think I speak with a standard American accent. I've traveled to Ireland five times, and find each region's dialect to be charming in it's own way, although I love the Galway-accent the best. When I'm in/near the Gaeltacht, I try to speak my very basic Irish (Gaeilge) as much as possible.
I met a Asian guy with a Irish accent in Ca,us and I couldn’t help but crack up during our brief conversation. I still don’t believe he’s Irish to this day, it was just too funny because not only was he the first “Irish” I met but he was F’n Asian.
I've been to Ireland & met many different Irish people & I'm totally indifferent to their accent; because many times as an american from the midwest, I've had to ask other americans to repeat themselves because I didn't understand a word they said.
Just learned about your channel and see that you travel everywhere cool. what do you do that you get to do this and any advice for someone that wants to travel? thanks.
Thanks man! There are a couple of ways you can travel around and save money. The things I did include: 1: working holiday visa. Depending on your nationality, you can work up to a year in certain countries. See which countries offer working holiday visas for you. For me, I picked Australia and New Zealand to do a working holiday. There are other countries that offer it for Americans, but those are the two I picked. 2: Stay home, work a crap ton and save money. When I’m back home, I just save up as much as I can and get back out there. When I’m traveling, I tend to stay in cheap hostels to save money. I don’t drink, smoke or party so I have saved a lot of money in that area as well. 3: look into WOOFING/WORKAWAY etc. lookup those websites and pick which country you want to go to. Some people are looking for help with small work, in return you get free housing and free food most of the time. And when you’re not working, you can go do whatever you want (depending on your host). Those are a couple ways I’ve traveled. It’s been good so far! Good luck!👍🏽
There is no one American accent. There are differences between towns here in some cases. It's the same as in Ireland. I am Irish and I am American. I grew up with Irish accents all around and I had one. Now, I have any accent I want. But I also was an actor for quite a while and it was a talent I had.
4:30 No offense to this man at all, I think he did very well. But when he goes to say his name, I almost imagined him imitating an animated sheep instead of an American 😂
Maybe it's just me but I think the Kilkenny accent sounds the most similar to non-regional North American accent. A non-native English speaker would probably not notice much difference between the two.
I grew up in a small town with a lot of Irish people in it. None of them were pleasant. I kind of liked their accent but they were all very disagreeable. I've discovered the people in Ireland are also just as disagreeable. They're very very negative and expect the worst of everything. The Irish do not like Americans which is confusing because they fled here in droves. Why would you move to a country you don't like. Why didn't they go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South America?
What do you mean “ self aware”? We’re learning about foreign perceptions of our accent …. I think Europeans should get some self awareness and realize they’re not as smart as they think they are.
this is such an american thing to say 😂 every human has an accent, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to speak. i’m also from california, and you don’t think we have an accent because you’re used to it. i guarantee you go to a foreign country and they’ll immediately be able to tell you apart, our accent sticks out like a sore thumb outside of america
I’m southern and lived in Belgium for a couple years and many girls commented on my accent and thought it was attractive. I think Southern accents are pretty well received abroad.

I don't even know who a yankee accent is. So you're doing a better job than me.
Well, they were to Dublin accentis to be specific north and south
It's a mix of Liverpool scouse and London Belfast and every other Irish accent lol
Idk why but its soooo much easier for me as an American to understand the Irish accent vs the English accent.
I do not know.

The Irish accent is fantastic. Especially the accents in the west of Ireland.
I served in Lebanon with the Irish Army, all the Lebanese in our area spoke English with Thick Irish Accents.
Florida checking in - Love the Irish accent! I have no problems understanding and speaking with the Irish.

Love the Irish accent but always have to turn on subtitles when watching Irish or Scottish television shows 😂

My self, I love it.
The American southern accent evolved from theScots/Irish who were the majority of the early settlers of European origin there. There were many other influences as well. There are differences within individual states as well.
Welsh and German had some contribution to the Northern Alabama accent.
The early English settlers had a huge influence as well.

Probably cause that’s what they hear on tv constantly
Because so many people adopt that accent/way if speaking
Grew up in NY & then hs/college in the Midwest afterwards been in SoCal for years now & you don't really here a distinct accent that much tbh.
I don't know. A lot of people are spreading the generic white girl accent to other places.
