Thinking of doing a new ‘accent video’. Which one shall I do? Manc (Manchester) Glaswegian (from Glasgow) Welsh (from Wales) Ulster (from Northern Ireland)
I am a teacher. Just an hour back I showed it to my students on the smart board 10 times minimum.... And we, despite it, understood just half...... My students turned her fan... Love from Kerala, India.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love her accent, and her passion! I had no trouble understanding her speech at all. I especially loved the phrases for describing her annoyance at the ice creme seller. Bet he can hear me!
As a Northern Californian, it amazes me that British people can tell what town a person lives in, and even the particular neighborhood. Having said that, this little girl was easy for me to understand, perhaps because we have seen so many British tv programs on Netflix in my household; although, the outspoken twin's was a new one for me.
Thanks for watching. I guess it'd due to a long history of hardly any social mobility so everyone just stayed in their local area so local accents developed. What British TV shows do you watch? Peaky Blinders? Try this scouse accent th-cam.com/video/8bYCnuA9VTI/w-d-xo.html
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom, Tom, we watch mostly series, like Last Tango in Halifax, Call the Midwife, Downton, Bridgerton; or any comedies with Simon Pegg. All of these have no doubt been produced with American audiences in mind, so something like Scouse is rather difficult for me to understand (every fourth word, in fact). My wife and I are half deaf, so we use subtitles at lot. This way, we can read what is being said, and so learn and understand various accents easier. That Scouse may as well be Glaswegian to me, though. Lol
Yeah, even as an American (Kansas City), I understood it all right away except for the stuff about "...my street that have 1 pound, a p, or 2 pound"... That was said really quickly, and took me a while to figure out. 😄
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom My mom was born in Southport, which apparently is pretty close to where these girls are from. She wasn't there very long before my grandparents brought her to America. So, am I correct to assume that Southport's accent is similar to that of these girls?
I'm from South Dakota,USA. Took me quite a few listens to get 90%of it. Now I learned that he only took 'bloody card'. I must have watched/ listened to the video 50 times! Hope this young lady continues to speak her mind until she is 105!
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom Yes. I have noticed in British you tube vids the use of the word bloody instead of very in front of a word to accentuate it's impact as well as using the word brilliant where we would say great. Add the beautiful accent to the vocabulary and I find listening to British English very engaging.
When I watched the video I love the girl's expression as she described what was transpiring. Loved every minute of it. she's not letting anyone get away with anything. 😊
@@derekroberts6654 😂 ha ha. I remember at university a friend of mine from the same town as these girls saying ‘I’ve got some ass cream. Do you want some?’ To another friends from London. He was completely confused and politely declined 😂
I thought she was Scottish. The UK is amazing. I once took a deep dive on the accent of "Daisy" the skullery from Downton Abbey. Found out that it was a very tradirional Cornish accent, that everyone worked very hard to get just right. I respect that the British take this so very seriously.
I'm from Liverpool and I love my city, listening to this girl I understand every word perfectly, I love all of our regional accents because they change every 20 miles apart, these girls are wonderful.
The funny thing is, in the tv interviews I've seen, these girls seem _super shy._ Interviewers have to work hard to get more than a one-word answer out of either of them. 😄
Watching for the third time just today. I watch every frame closely. She corrects herself a few times. Has no problem with the two pieces of gum. Changes bloody he'll to bloody well after the aunt repeats her but changes the word. Then they run off to play. The first video had a few added seconds at the start and end of the video and it's too bad it was cut off because the running off to play after the complaining was great.
Hey, thanks for the explanation. I'm a native speaker in the US and I am not expert on regional accents in the UK. I could make out everything she said, but the meaning of "well bad" had me confused. Thanks for clearing it up! Best of luck with your channel.
Glad it was helpful! I hope it was well good. Check out the other micro-listening videos. The scouse accent videos might be a challenge. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Yes, local accents can be very tricky for non native English speakers. I originally made this series of videos to help my study abroad students prepare before departure. Thanks for watching!
She’s from Burnley (so am I) but I wouldn’t say that’s a typical Burnley accent. I didn’t know quite where to place it. Definitely Northern and similar but I honestly thought it was more Yorkshire.

Thanks for watching. There are some really thick accents in Wales and Scotland. Try this one, it's scouse from Liverpool th-cam.com/video/8bYCnuA9VTI/w-d-xo.html
I don't have a problem understanding her. Her English is better than many people here in the States. I don't know why but I've always pronounced no and nowhere the way she does. Must be my ancestry.
After many watches and closed captioning I can now make out what she says. We do not sound like that in Kansas. All I can say is I love these young ladies. Pure and unfiltered emotion. Great!
@TUBEYOU-k2l There are accents in the US particularly southern accents I find hard to understand at times. I live in the Kansas City area. The accent here is called the midland accent which is basically a neutral or non-accented speech. Listening to our neutral accent all the time and then to highly accented speech it is not surprising to me to not understand parts of the speech. Not saying it is a negative thing just reality.
I don't get what does she mean by" that comes on my street have one pound or p or 2 Pound". There's another van that sells ice cream for 1 or 2 pounds?
It gets difficult when she talks about the price of ice creams from the van on her street. I can't quite make out the first part of the sentence, and the transciption doesn't help either because it not clear what she means. '1 pound, a P, or two pound'. Does that mean 1 pound and 1 p for 1 ice cream and 2 pounds for 2?
Hi there, thanks for watching. Yeah, she isn't really clear about the ice cream van on her road. It sounds like she's saying it costs 'a p', so 1 penny, but there is no way an ice cream would be that cheap

one pound a piece, or two pounds. don't know why you would put " a p " in a sentence. Also i think it was supposed to be "instead of my cash" not "stood with my cash". There's still more listening to be done here.
@@victorrobison5069 thanks for watching. I put ‘a P’ because that what it sounds like she said. I don’t know if you are British but saying P for ‘pence’ is common. Interesting you thought it was something different. I’ll go back and have a listen. Thanks for listening and commenting 👍
NAH. no. Not "Instead of my cash". I hear clearly she said 'there' too. So it's 'Stood there with my cash' as in she did stand there with her cash because she has no card.

@@barrybigelow4259 thanks for watching! I make these videos to help my study abroad students be better prepared for when the are confronted with rapid colloquial speech of local people.
