I am learning a british version of English because it sounds more softer and I love watching british films❤ And I am very happy that I can find british teachers on youtube❤❤❤
I’m from London and I once did a job on a council estate near Birmingham. I couldn’t understand them and they couldn’t understand me. It was embarrassing.
That's quite relieving and comforting to read 😄😄. If you who's English had a hard time there, it's ok that Liverpool's and Black Country's accents sound unintelligible for me
Don't make me laugh, Iam from Africa but I can understand English from any person, no matter the country where you come from, I use to interpret people of different countries when they come in our church for the service
Had a few comments asking about 'The Black Country.' The Black Country is an area of England, in the middle. It covers a collection of towns and boroughs near to Birmingham. It is called the Black Country because of its industrial history, where the many factories and foundries would create a lot of smoke in the area.
Laura, Oh my goodness, you are amazing, ive just moved to the uk. I never understood the different accents easily, you made it a lot easier for me, you are absolutely amazing
The UK not only has regional accents, but also has economic class accents. A British woman in my country returned to the UK and back after 5 years away and told me that she didn't realize the class separation was so great in the UK until she returned after 5 years. We really don't have such class separation, so it really would stand out comparing the two countries.
Yes indeed, and that distinction is more acute if someone from the lower socio strata ends up on the wrong side of the law. Uk is seemingly amiable on a brief visit, but if you find yourself adjusting to its elitest and hierarchal culture, it morphs a hostile existence unless you share a higher membership.. Truly horrendous, lovely country, but there are reasons why so many Brits leave seeking a more equal and less exclusive climate..
To be honest I m still struggling delving in to the accents , after many years of learning English. As a Dutchman , Rhotic accent helps for me , really spells it out. You are a great teacher Laura, and I love this gem of a video , you nailed it. Overwhelming quality, and all these tips are amazing and work for me .
As a German I found the *Shetland* series relatively easy to understand. Some Scotts told me there are phonetic similarities which makes it easier both ways.
Im german too and I found out, that it depends from the region in Germany. In Bavaria, espascially in Oktoberfest-County😅, where I grew up, we have a strong rhotic accent.
I don't know Shetland so I don't know the local accent. But there's no dialect in the series. In a lot of these series, they just stick the occasional word in to make it sound "dialecty". I had the same experience with Montalbano, set in Sicily. "This I'd easy", I thought. When I went to get my hair cut in a small town in Sicily on holiday, I was trying to understand what the other customers were saying. Not a word! The BBC makes a lot of money from exports!
I’m English (born in Kent, raised in Devon, lived in south wales and Worcestershire in the past, currently live in Lincolnshire) but I still struggle with some accents from some individual people. Even a really broad Devonian accent! I used to teach on the edge of Dartmoor and would often see an old man in the morning. I never understood a single word he said!
Believe me, some accents like the highlighted Scouse sound like static radio on phets. Some others though, the Northumberland accent are absolutely beautiful.
Amazing! My students complained today about not understanding British people and I gave them your video to watch. Thank you so much for your work. I recommend your channel to everyone
Amazing video, a million thanks. As a catalan from Spain I tend to forget that every language has this great variety of accents. And the way you teach this is super professional, thank you thank you thank you.
Even as a native UK English speaker, mostly northern RP but can naturally slip into the Yorkshire accent, these videos are so entertaining. It's unbelievable how many different accents they are here. There's a distinct difference between a Derby and Nottingham accent and yet they are 20km/13 miles away.
After years studying English, I now understand why I had a lot of difficulties understanding peoples in Liverpool ! I felt like if it was another language
Liverpool is an extremely multicultural city. Many have Welsh ancestry, Chinese, Scandinavian, Scottish, Irish, Caribbean. On top of that our city centre has many international students and a diverse group of new immigrants - especially from Sudan, Somalia, Turkey, Afghanistan etc. My neighbours are Chinese, German, Welsh, Norwegian and Nigerian here in the city centre. I'm not sure who you weren't understanding 😂? Definitely the Liverpudlian accent on TV shows is tricky to understand though - because a lot of the time it is made up haha!
Thanks for the tips Laura. Btw i like how diligently u make things clear. My request, pls make a collab video wid 'Lucy' if possible. We wud luv both of u sharing ur knowledge together. ❤❤❤
Hey Laura!! I really love this subject about the English accents, because in my country (Brazil) have a lot of different accents too. I've been in UK in 2021 (Scotland, Lenceister, London), and for me is the much difficult to understand was the Scotish accent!! 😂😂
You are so right. I studied English more or less 13 years and it's really difficult for me to understand UK accents. Probably because we are flooded with American accents - films, music, etc. It's just a matter of practice I suppose.
I'm Brazilian and I intend to go to London next year. I learned american English because in Brasil we receive more influence from USA. I do hope I will be succeed in UK
I really love this footage in particular as you hit my problem at the bottom of my heart. As a Hongkonger, I learn English more than 20 years, however, I find difficult to understand what people in NW of England as their accent is different from what I learnt from school.
Don't worry love, I'm English born and bred, and I also have trouble understanding people from the NW! I used to work with a girl from Newcastle and I had real trouble understanding her because her accent was really strong, sometimes she would end up having to write it sown on a piece of paper!! 😂
Great lesson for learners of British English accent. I appreciated .I am improving my English language .This your You Tube lesson is really for me, I can easily understand from your lesson. Thank you so much teacher.
It would be great if you made a series of videos on the topic training us to understand different British accents by watching movies and interviews and explaining every detail. I believe such videos might get really popular.
This is jolly good. I was always wondering why the accents have survived since folks move and travel a lot. I look forward to a discussion on the association of accents with private schooling.
i have lived in England for 10 years , and worked there for long as well, I do get loads of the accents..... If you live in Hull for a while you can catch most accents.....😅😅😅
I was hoping for this video my whole life and I didn't know, I've been stuck to understand British accent and it's quite stressful watch Peaky Blinders with subtitles
Any Scousers watching this, nice one 😊. I'm from Merseyside but grew up and educated in various parts of the UK and abroad. Now my accent is super mix.... 😂 Tried to speak like Downton Abbey it never went well. But thanks Laura for clarification on this channel.
Years ago I went in University of Essex for a course of advanced data analysis. It was terrible speak with locals in shops when you are used to understand only RP english.
@@royjohnson465I have a pen pal in Cardiff and he also didn't know that the RP is. But he knew the Queen's English. Which is probably the same as RP. IMO the best and the easiest "version" of English. ... On the other hand I always ask myself, Received Pronunciation... Ok, received from who? :)
Thank you for a really wonderful and educational video. I really struggled to understand the origins of different UK accents but you have helped me to do so. I grew up in Gravesend and found my first job north of Aberdeen, I had to really tune into their way of saying things.
Hi iam watching this video from India, its really good one & helping a lot in understanding different slangs, laura your speech is so good & one can learn English by seeing your videos, thanks a lot, god bless you
Wow, I really appreciate lessons like this one. Sometimes I even use some of those pronunciations automatically without realizing it. Now I can understand better, loved the rotic and non rotic explanation and the intrusive r. Thank you so much from Italy 😊
i'm a Filipino and im working in virgin media as a customer service agent. To be honest, a lot of times i am having a hard time to understand some of the UK accents though UK accent sounds great and i really like it. Sometimes i even unconsciously mimic the accent. Brilliant Video
I’m from France, did my studies in Birmingham and then Liverpool. My girlfriend is also from France, but did her studies in London. Now we are in Scotland. I can understand easily the Scottish accent while my girlfriend is really struggling with it 😅
I have Seen lots of Videos of various TH-cam Channel's Regarding English Language.. But Today When I Watch ur Outstanding And Remarkable Video About The Various UK Accents Of English, I am getting Too much amazed and also I like and love the way of ur Teaching Methods And Delivering The Whole Lecture with Wonderful and Understandable Examples, By the way I am Ur New Subscriber from Indian OCCUPIED KASHMIR and want to learn more from u. You are an Extraordinary And Great Teacher,
I'm from Italy. Lately I'm working for a Bristolian Company... I like their mentality, I like the way they set and plan the work, yet the first months was an hell to communicate and understand some collegues there. =D PS. Laura your beauty helps me to digest some "weird" english accent and word!
I always get trouble understanding natives whenever I watch any podcast or movies. I have to google every single word or watch them with subtitles. Yet I've watched some of your videos today which have helped me a lot and I've gained abundant knowledge as well. I still have some lacking in grammar but I'm endeavoring to practice constantly.
Hello Laura , a pleasure to see your video for the 1st time . From the Basque country. I love our Language ( Euskera ) is different from, everyone . And I love how you speak
Amazing vlog about different UK English accents and love it the way you explain. And you talk about Cornwall there is one of my aunt live there and also share your vlog
Tnx for all great videos you have made, would you please make a video describing the article “the”?? A lot of non-English speakers find it very confusing
That was a bloody brilliant video :D

Cheers Lucy! Thanks for your continued support! ❤

@@romanamassawe814 Ok maybe I’m exaggerating a bit but it was a struggle at least at first.
😂😂😂❤
@@wallysilva6937 The trick is to resort to neutral English (or whatever language you are speaking) until you are both comfortable.
Had a few comments asking about 'The Black Country.' The Black Country is an area of England, in the middle. It covers a collection of towns and boroughs near to Birmingham. It is called the Black Country because of its industrial history, where the many factories and foundries would create a lot of smoke in the area.
Many thanks . Apart of learning the British English with you .
I got more information of UK 🇬🇧.
Where have you been, guys? It's been a month since I watched this video.
I’m From Egypt 🇪🇬
I've been living in London for 5 years and I mastered the London accent I love London's accent and I have beautiful memories there ❤
Laura, Oh my goodness, you are amazing, ive just moved to the uk. I never understood the different accents easily, you made it a lot easier for me, you are absolutely amazing
It clarifies a lot how the different accents have been created and I find the way you explain very amusing. Gràcies des de Barcelona.

Привет! Я из Сибири! Ваше сообщение немного успокаивает… Если уж Вам сложно, то что говорить о мне. А Вы на этом канале, чтобы выучить английский? 😉
Laura, I like your English lessons😊
They have helped me a lot.
The first reason for the appeal of British English is that it is pleasant to the ear.
All of them are pleasant to the ear? There are so many “British” accents and they are all so different
Believe me, some accents like the highlighted Scouse sound like static radio on phets. Some others though, the Northumberland accent are absolutely beautiful.
Accents Of Languages. Beautiful to listen to enjoy.
It’s clear that after listen this great video I understand a little bit more the diversity of english languages all over UK. Good!!!
that is brilliant for me that I am new in the UK. you gave me a lot of for learning the world's mother language
Such a clear and nice accent challenge from a gorgeous teacher😊. Hat off for your impressions and endeavours to transfer your knowledge👏
Thank you teacher, I am an Indian moved to UK recently... It helps me a lot to gain confidences..

Please, what is “RP” English.?
@@royjohnson465”received pronunciation”
@@royjohnson465RP is the standart british accent. It's the accent we first think of when we think about British English.
Our motto for Essex is: Who needs consonants anyway?😅
