@@narratormatt your accent is good but our vowels are sharper not drawn out. We rather say deni, instead of dragging the y sound. Also turkish alphabet doesn't have w sound so we are can't pronounce it correctly. For example we often pronounce wave as vave. Sharp, not drawn out. Also we can't pronounce th sound so it's alway t for us. The becomes dı. I hope it helps :) I'll add more when I get time
I don't know about others but "give me" one was so accurate because i's are pronounce is e in bee and e's are pronounces as either "a" in "cat" or "e" in "met" since we only have two different "e"s. One thing you could add is it that in English there is a "-th" sound right? like three and tree are different sounds. It's hard to make the -th sound as native turkish speakers since we don't have any sound remotely close to that so we say tree and three the same way with sharper "r"s and also in "the" the "t" is pronounced like a "d" Oh, also sometimes o's turn in into -uh's such is "down" turns into something like "duhwn" do you get what I mean but interesting points overall keep up the good work
Haha great impression, very accurate. The thing about "i-ee" sound change is that we don't have different "i-ee" sounds in Turkish and it usually goes like when it's stressed it becomes like "ee" and when it's unstressed it becomes more like "ih". In this case, the latter "e" in "give me" is at the end so it is unstressed, therefore it sounds more like an "i" in Turkish accent. The thing about Sally is that unfortunately in schools we are incorrectly taught to pronounce the "æ" sound like a pure "eh" sound as in "bed". So pronouncing Sally goes like "Selly". So (how many times have I said "so") if that person is taught so you will hear an "eh". But if that person reads it as if it is a Turkish word, the "a" remains as a Turkish "a" which is similar to the "uh" sound. Phew...
If you change to=tü into a to=tu (it's like 'oo' but much shorter) and make all 'e' sound closed (like in 'they', or imagine saying 'thanks' but like 'thenks'. and, get rid of the 'th' sound, make it a 't') it'll be even more correct.
Hey Matt that's really good work, nontheless you forgot one of the most important one which is the 'r' sound. Even if our 'R's are not as hard as Spanish Rs it's still hard that's why many people say that Turkish sounds like a Slavic language I guess. As an addition, I was working as a waiter in San Antonio on 2017 summer and I realized that Americans were really interested in my accent, whenever they heard me speaking they were asking where I was from. I was asked If I was from; France, Afghanistan, Sweden, Greece.. Once a waitress told me that my accent sounds just like Jean Claude Van Damme :) and whenever I pronounced the words "water, banana, document" the waitresses were always laughing, it was not offending for me though.
Nice job but how could you miss the most obvious one to my ear - they pronounce V as W sound and visa versa - W as V. Water would be said Vahter, and Victoria is pronounced Wicktoria. We always laugh at my parents for this!
First time I've ever seen your videos. This was a great video, but when you get into the studio, I wish you didn't have music behind you because it muddies things as I'm trying to hear the accent your doing and the music is distracting.
Some tips for Turkish. Pronounce every single letter clearly (but as in Turkish) - and just as it's written. So an s is always an s and never a z. So easy sounds like ee-si. Soft th is usually like a t so as the Irish tirty-tree (33). The harder th is more like a d so den instead of then. There's no w in Turkish and their w is a sound halfway between the two. So both letters are usually pronounced as a soft v. Put your lips in the same place simultaneously as you would for both letters and say v and that should work. There's very little stress so it sounds a bit monotone. Final r sound in a word is slightly aspirated and final g is almost a k. Check out this m.th-cam.com/video/xr84WInwkdo/w-d-xo.html
@@narratormatt w=v cuz turkish not has double letters example:ss,ae,vv,tt,th,sh=ş,ch=ç q=k .We cannot tell the difference between q and k as the difference between w and v.There are no lisper letters in Turkish. (th, ph).Turks emphasize every word,So we usually say to the Englishs: "why do you write the letter you will not read"especially the letter r.Englishes don't read the letter r, but we read it like RRR. c=j in turkish cuz we dont understand in english.c=k or s.where should I read "k" where "s" we r confused. A(ey) but we read like this cAr.I don't usually understand english. they don't emphasize at all and i don't understand what they mean. english says:water but turkish says: vatıRRR.we cannot say some words.We can say Turkish words that you cannot say. muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine.easy for we.and i dont understand foreigners why cant read "ğ". this like gh.I got a little off the subject XD
@@narratormatt What do you mean.I thank you for asking. Turks are eager to explain when someone asks them something. Like "come on, someone ask me something and let me help him" XD
Well done Matt. That's quite a project you've embarked upon. The Turkish accent is very difficult for English speakers to copy. The languages are just so different in every way. Check out this video from Olcay if you haven't already found it (m.th-cam.com/video/19SdrERd670/w-d-xo.html). Now he can speak English with a Turkish accent! Cheers.
Turkish people don't have accents. In Turkish, you use lots of voices so you can easily imitate other accents. Most of us speak clearly, like Swedish people.
idk why im watching this im a native turk
Both i am:D
Maybe to see how much I got right (or not... please add some specific insights, if so).
@@narratormatt your accent is good but our vowels are sharper not drawn out. We rather say deni, instead of dragging the y sound.

@@strawberrygoldie329 Yes! Please do.
Same lolol
I think you should watch Keptin's videos to work on your Turkish accent. I believe they'll help a lot :D
Just checked him out. Thanks for the tip!
As a turkish ,i must say that you did it right!Nice video.
no you are türkişh
Turkish don't pronounce "r" as an English "r", but rather Russian "r".
I guess we are in between. Sometimes we go to Russian R intentionally.
A lot of Turks who are bad in English also say stuff like "I am goink" instead of "I am going".
I don't know about others but "give me" one was so accurate because i's are pronounce is e in bee and e's are pronounces as either "a" in "cat" or "e" in "met" since we only have two different "e"s.

I would recommend listening "Nick the Chopper" by Barış Manço, first half of the song is English and is a good example of the Turkish accent
Excellent. Thank you for the tip!
your accent is too good. If you want to pollute the sounds further:
w->v
th->t(d)
of->oph
don't roll r's
If you change to=tü into a to=tu (it's like 'oo' but much shorter) and make all 'e' sound closed (like in 'they', or imagine saying 'thanks' but like 'thenks'. and, get rid of the 'th' sound, make it a 't') it'll be even more correct.

Wow, great job! Impressed.
I think you're not bad at imitating Turkish accent but your accent sounds more like a Turkish that practiced American accent so much :)
Great! But the the music is so loud, it is difficult to hear the accent.

This was my birthday!
nice video i liked your pretend @Matt Haynes
Hey, not bad indeed!
To be honest, not... perfect either, though.
I mean, it’s still clear that your original accent is an American one.

Zeynep Cimir you have to be joking. Turks have STRONG accents when speaking English.
A big no, this doesn't sound like Turkish accent at all.
