    i say i have no accent, but apparently i do. i think most americans can't hear their own accents; which always makes for interesting interactions. it's amazing how this guy can switch back and forth between accents. p.s. no judgement on your attempts at our accents. hahahaha

    THE LINGUIST KILLED THE APPALACHIAN ACCENT. I was hearing bits and pieces from the other southern accents but holy shit this dude can do any accent pretty perfectly

    I’m from North Carolina and my mom is from the mountains and my dad is from the east coast and has family from Kill Devil Hills. So my accent is all f*cked up 😂

    This guy is incredible. There are so many more accents in the US than you would think.

    Don’t worry about being overwhelmed by this video. It’s overwhelming for us (Americans) too.

    I love seeing people learn about American culture of whatnot it makes me so proud of my country

    Speaking a second language in the US isn't as uncommon as most people believe it is, especially among immigrant families. I grew up in Mississippi and I spoke Italian at home until I was 5 years old because my mom is from Italy. But speaking a language other than English is definitely rare in Mississippi, or at least it was when I was growing up. Where I live now, in South Texas, Spanish is almost as common as English to be spoken at home. French is also somewhat common in some parts of Louisiana

    American here. No offense taken! :) I actually find it delightful when non-Americans try out our accents. I'm from Northern California and I'm one of those people that would say I "have no accent." The most I've noticed of my own accent is pronoucing "your" as "yer," and "ours" like "are-s" (like letter R plural). I only really noticed the latter when one of my teachers -- who happened to be from the south -- recalled how utterly confused she was when she first came to California and heard that pronouciation.

    You would never offend us! I think you did pretty good at some of them. Great video!

    Pittsburgh area is a nuts accent. Its not only different from other regions, its even widely different from other places in the same state.

  • @arnoldrivas4590

    Spanish is also spoken by nearly 50% of people here in Los Angeles. Mexican Spanish, Salvadoran Spanish, Guatemalan Spanish, Honduran, Nicaraguan and some scatterings of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican. And the other major languages here outside of English and Spanish are Tagalog, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Chinese, and Armenian. All of that shapes how English is spoken by different groups of people.

  • @koreanforrabbit

    My dude, I've been sitting here on my couch trying out your accent, and it's not been going great. It's comforting to know that this is a shared experience. 🤘😎

    I've got a deep Southern Georgia accent. When i worked as a Nationwide company I had men who just wanted me to talk to them. I had to sing customers "Happy Birthday" more than one time. Men from the North of the U.S. love the Southern Accent. They loved when i called them honey or Sweetie. I call everyone these things. I found that the women didn't like my accent but they would say their so and so loves my accent. I worked at a huge book warehouse that severed all 50 states, before the Internet.

  • @AnAmericanMusician

    The reason southern accents and black American accents sound similar to some British accents is due to something these people decided to omit, which is that southern US dialect actually comes from west Britain.

  • @robinfarina2966

    I'm an American Southerner and this was very educational. Thank you for the content. Your reactions are so entertained and upbeat. ❤

    I had the piney woods accent as a child, but I’ve traveled most of my adult life and I just sound “American” now. The price-smoothing was always the main thing people from other parts of America would notice about my accent.

    A lot of American cities have "China town" or Korea town" areas, but NYC has pockets for just about every language. Best example would be the YTer XioamaNYC, a polyglot. Who practices the different languages he speaks in those areas to keep proficient. Everything from Chinese, to African languages.

    I live in northern Illinois. While vacationing in Florida, someone overheard a conversation I was having with my sister. He came up to us and said, "If I had to guess, you two are from northern Illinois." Just due to the way we pronounced words and slang terms we used. It was amazing to me how he nailed not only which state we were from, but the exact region of it.

  • @mattbailey6417

    You said it's like hearing 50 people at once. Not just you. Even as an American, the ease he can switch accents is extraordinary

    I am from The Bronx. My family spoke Italian, as well as English. My father could not pronounce his R's. So he would say , "fawth flaw", instead of "fourth floor. My kids used to make me say water and dog over and over. I guess it sounds like "wawdder" and "dawg."😂
