Sancho adopting his accent is similar to what I do when I communicate with native Portuguese speakers in English, I find my intonation and inflictions start to mimic them, it's like you're trying to find the same rhythm.
I always naturally seem to do this a bit when speaking to non-native english speakers. Some people see it is a bit rude though, but I feel like it just makes it a bit easier for people to understand me
@Yair Nahum Evreuklovic To make them understand better, you have to understand that those that are not native speaker are almost always trying their best to speak English as well as possible, but some accents from England are really hard to understand.
@Yair Nahum Evreuklovic What is the problem? You can tell the difference when they are trying to help and when they are joking about you. If they are joking about you then it makes sense that you get offended.
I feel like a lot of people do that unconsciously. if I'm speaking English to one of my French friends, I do speak with a but more of a French accent and I speak more slowly
I'm from Argentina. I'm doing an English course to become a teacher of English. To be honest I owe a lot watching Premier League interviews from English players. Thus, I've improved my spelling and communication.
No but Sancho speaking to the Germans in an English-German accent to compensate is quite common. It’s something done so that they understand you. I have my own weird mixture of a British accent (English is my first language so I speak it perfectly as any other native) but when I’m speaking it in school my accent switches. I went to a Spanish school so naturally majority of the people that go there are Spanish and speak English with their Spanish-English accent which I’m assuming we’ve all heard. So in English class when having to communicate with them unconsciously I switch to the Spanish-English accent so they can understand me, cuz if I speak to them with a proper English accent, they won’t. Because everyone is speaking in the accent whether it be a Spanish-English accent or in Sancho’s case, German-English, you get influenced by the accent of the others.
There's a clip of Jack Grealish at the England training camp where he is hanging out with the other players and definitely talking in quite a strong MLE accent - this is normal most of our accents vary in different contexts.
lvlyyangyang don’t mind. They’re just trying to abuse the word to make the people who genuinely face racism, and talk about it, to look like their just complaining. 😊

Yeah, instead of alcoholics, gamblers and drug addicts, we now have England players who do charity work, are awarded M.B.Es at 23 years old, and have genuinely suffered life events that have changed them as human beings, for the better.
Mount has a Portsmouth accent because he was born in Waterlooville. Luke Shaw on the other hand has a Southampton accent, because he was born in Shirley.
I'm English, from Kent, but I live in Mexico. Since living my accent has subtly changed. I am more inclined to speak more clearly, to make sure I'm better understood. But also Spanish sounds have leaked into my English. For example, Mexican Spanish has no hard Z sound, only the soft S sound, and my Zs (and Ss usually pronounced as Zs) have softened and mostly become Ss. And you know I've found it to be pretty out of my control. It's been a slow change.
Could you do me a favor? Could you tell all of England for me that the Spanish r is not silent at the end of words? Every time I hear an English person say a Spanish name or word like Javier, they say Javi-ayy.
How Sancho changes his accent in Germany is common for most British people to do when being in other parts of the country, city, or even social situation. I have an MLE accent but will use RP in some professional situations. I also use RP in situations where I don't want to use slang (in case others don't understand the slang) because growing up I only had an MLE accent and thus most of my slang is tied to that accent. The thing that I find difficult to stop doing when I switch to RP is dropping Ts.
This is a really great point Sass, thanks for sharing it with us. We all alter our accents to fit the context we are in. I use to sound like Prince William with my grandma and Danny Dyer at the football.
i have RP as my innate accent and sometimes i struggle on my own Ts even though it is instinct to say them... i have heard it even worse for others who are posher, they trip over their words trying to get their Ts out... what i'm saying is it is intrinsically hard to consistently and constantly form that hard sound
It's weird but as a Frenchman almost bilingual in English, I started to think about an accent (our professor at the university told us it was better to try an imitate/choose an accent, his English as a French was mixed with UK/US english), I definitely started to do some researches on the differents accents and it helps massively, I would like to get close to Grealish's accent, which is the strongest and the most difficult surely, but as it's very pronounced, I like how it sounds actually The one's missing for me is Lingard, he's got a Mancunian accent as well but for me it sounds different from Rashford's one
I think that is a you problem... you shouldn't judge a person by their accent. Yes the English make fun of eachothers accents, Birmingham ones get a lot of stick in particular. However, we definitely don't actually consider them "stupid or unattractive" - that is utterly wrong.@@pn2124
I love the story of Joe Baker. He was a No 9 for Hibernian in the 1950s and had a heavy Scottish accent even though he was English. When he turned up to join the England squad a policeman wouldn't let him in because he didn't believe he was English.
A British friend of mine said to me, "Liverpool accent is the weirdest accent he's ever heard", and he was right. You just listen to the way Steven Gerrard speaks. In fact, the comedian "Jimmy Carr" taught two celebrities how to speak Liverpool accent on the Graham Norton show, which I found unbelievable, and funny. Well, I'm telling you this because, I'm studying to become an English translator, so these videos are very useful for anyone who wants to learn English, and like an English teacher once told me; "learning a new language is difficult".
As an Asian, glad to know how that these players has their own local accents. The easiest for me to distinguish though is the Scouse which is way entirely different among the English accents. It sounds like a cowboy accent to me. I wish they have 1 scouser in this current roster of players to make this content more complete :)
Trent Alexander-Arnold is a scouser but he was out of the team through injury for this tournament. Look out for him in the next England matches when he’s fit again!

Not interested in the footy but am interested in the accents. Would love to see something on the accents of the East Midlands, I feel we get overshadowed by the Brummy lot in the West Midlands in terms of accents. I’d also kinda like to see what someone who isn’t from here and actually knows about accents makes of it, what features it shares with what accents, even though I got a decently strong accent for the area I am so used to hearing it I couldn’t tell you what it sounds like lol
I’m from Newcastle, and when I speak to someone on the phone from outside of the north east, and give them my postcode, 100% of the time, they think I’m saying ‘E’ when I say ‘A’ 😂
6:28 It’s very true. In Japan, people are reluctant to receive English lessons from Brits because they think American English is standard English. Kiwis and Aussies also face that problem. As a result, kids sound American without having set foot in America, which I find cringey. I always say : « Don’t get stuck on accents, did you get the message ? »
I've notice among asians Japanese and Koreans are fond of American accent especially in Korea. They learned American English and wants to speak like American. However, the rest of the countries love English accents.
I find that so strange you know. Obviously the US is a western powerhouse but considering that English is the language of England you'd think if there was gonna be any standardised way of speaking it, it would the way it's spoken in England right? Very interesting
Fun fact: Sunderland’s accent is called “Mackem” because the city motto during the industrial revolution was “We MACKEM and they tackem “ (We make them and they take them) It’s funny because their academy does produce a lot of good players that end up elsewhere.

@@Dionysos640 It's interesting as it's common in Jamaican Patois and the Irish are the one of biggest ethnic group in the Jamaica so that could have been the influence behind the pronunciation. MLE in turn is heavily influenced by the Jamaican population. I didn't even realise I pronounced "th" as a "d" sound until I was sent to a secondary school in Kent, kids would make fun of me and I couldn't for the life of me understand what I was saying wrong.
Accents aside, I really feel for Rashford and Sancho, who were sent in for the sole purpose of taking the penalty , which they failed miserably. Saka too.
Agreed, im glad people are stepping up to this. These guys played for our country and made to the finals in a major which is something we haven't done in over 50 years. No one should antagonise them for missing a pen. Especially Rashford where he helped the hungry children.
It doesn't help when before the match people were saying " just remember if it's brought home, it's brought home by the children of immigrants ! " Even a facts website published a picture of the team and crossed out everyone who didn't have English English roots, there were about two left at the end with a big sign saying " immigrants " on it.

As an American, could someone please explain to me, what I’ve been wondering most of since I was old enough to hear the Beatles speak for the first time. How come so many British people lose their accent when they sing? (Besides the Proclaimers, & the songs, “Cool for Cats” (by squeeze), & “Always Look On the Bright Side of Life”
@@robzsarmy5471 Thank you for your reply! But a large percentage of the British people I speak to, say: That we (ALL) “Americans” are the ones with an accent, and that British people speak without an accent. - And then I have to get into an argument/discussion with them, about using examples like: Annie Lennox, Adele, or the Gallagher brothers, on when they speak, I can barely understand what they’re saying. versus when they sing, I can, perfectly understand them. And then with back-and-forth for several minutes, and then they finally admit that that: “OK they lose their British accent when they sing” - You’re one of a small percentage that “initial” admits to this. - But my question is: Are (most) British people “intentionally emulating” an American accent when they sing? (for example, if you would asked me to sing opera, I would attempt do an imitation of what I see on TV, of Luciano Pavarotti, and it’s nowhere near my regulars speaking (nor singing) voice. - Or does somehow British accents (magically) disappear when “most” Brits sing?
@@MikeCee7 1) I call this the "singers accent" basically it's because they are singing the vowels the same way, and since vowels take up the majority of the "sound" in singing - not consonants - it ends up having a certain sound to it which is close to a general stereotypical American accent. 2) American singers are big inspiration too so some actually do imitate American singing style 3) American accents in general are much easier to understand for non native English speakers so if a singer (normally pop singers) wants more popularity they will use more recognised voice /accents
@@robzsarmy5471 Thank you (Tremendously!) for explaining that to me! You’re the first (British) person to ever explain this to me on TH-cam. (well, basically the First anywhere with that detail of reasonings). It was way back in 1985, when I first had this discussion with a British camp counselor in Massachusetts, one summer. So that’s been 38 years, that I’ve been waiting for a (reasonable) explanation for this phenomenon. - Your “#1” reasoning, I’ve heard the short vowels verse long vowels thing, a couple times before, but I don’t understand this, because there’s a significant amount of different accents in the UK, I didn’t think that all these different accents, all spoke with either the short or long vowel. (whichever way it is, that makes them speak/sound different than Americans) - & I’ve heard (only one) British singer say your “#2” reasoning on a TV interview with an American reporter. (that that this question gets asked a lot, other than by me) (LOL) I forgot who it was, but it was sometime around several years ago, on an American entertainment TV news show. I forgot who it was, but they were similar in popularity to John Legend. - But my question, that I wanted/wish I could ask him is: (now directed toward you) Yes Chuck Berry, Elvis, & Little Richard, were first world wide popular in the late 50s, but it wasn’t much long before the Beatles became world wide popular in 1962/1963. And then then the whole “British Invasion” happen with the Beatles, Stones, plus the other UK bands from the mid 60s, and then the late 60s with The Who & Zeppelin etc: And then the 2nd British invasion in the 1980s, with all the British New Wave bands that dominated. At one time from ~1983 to ~1984 or ~1985, 75% of MTV (in America) were only artist from England/UK. - So, with such a high influx of influence, of British artists singers World wide. (very shortly after Elvis & Chuck Berry) Is your “#2” answer, the dominate reason this happens? That they are “consciously” imitating an American accent? Or is it more of “#1”? - And I guess The Proclaimers don’t follow your “#3” reasoning at all. (LOL)
@@robzsarmy5471 (FYI: don’t read this comment, until after reading my most recent prior comment) - Here’s a pretty funny clip of Elton John on SNL (Saturday night live) It’s the first time ever I’ve heard him staying with a British accent. Which one of your theories is Elton Not following? 😅 - And it also reminded me of my other examples of some famous songs with thick accents (in addition to the Proclaimers, Squeeze “Cool for Cats”, and “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”) I forgot about mentioning: Right-said-Fred, “I’m Too Sexy” and the Kinks, “Come Dancing” - th-cam.com/video/viMdSjxSCqU/w-d-xo.html&feature=sharea
Really interest to see the different accents. As a non native English speaker, it's interesting to remember that everyone has its own way of speaking and pronunciating.
Great video. As an American (who lived in England for a few years) it was easy for me to tell accents apart, as in these two people are not from the same area, and most of the time the very general region - North or South England, West or East London, but that's about it. This helps with some of the features I can pinpoint to narrow it down more. I always loved the Yorkshire accent the best, I just like how they treat their vowels.
Im from Newcastle but feel the 2 things you pointed out about the sunderland accent were just general northeast pronunciations that Geordies say too. A better example of unique' mackem would have been when Jordan Henderson said the word 'seen' as they say it as Sey-en instead of which geordies would just say 'seen'. They say Cue-key for cookie as well etc and Bue-k for book
You could also mention that the Mackems don’t pronounce the “H” when at the start of words so house becomes Ouse, hat is at, etc whereas we Geordie’s pronounce the “H” and we are only twelve miles apart 😂
I'm English. From North Kent. My accent used to be almost Cockney. Locally we would call it Chathamese. Harry Kane I would pick as North London. He doesn't have that East/ South London twang. But these guys are well travelled. And mix with many accents all the time. My neighbour is from near Whitby. Yet his accent is very similar to Jordan Henderson. You would swear he was from further up. Having now lived in Australia for over 25 years. My accent is bastardised English. When I first got to Oz. I used too much slang. And spoke too fast. A lot had trouble understanding me. I now speak as slow as the West country.
Thanks for sharing mate. I’ve not heard Chathamese before 😆 that’s brilliant! Interesting to hear how your accent has changed as you’ve moved around the world and adapted to your surroundings. All the best 👍🏼
I love your videos and love that you did this for the team. Two things: 1. I was sad it wasn't the whole team: no DCL, for instance. 2. Do you think Kane's accent changes or is influenced by his tongue tie? In watching interviews, you can see he has a pretty severe one.
There’s an interview on Jadon and living in Germany and he gets asked about his accent and he said he has been asked to try and speak in the German English accent as fans were complaining that they couldn’t understand his normal accent. So he’s not doing bc he wants to fit in 😂
With jadon sancho, I see myself doing the same with my college team. We have multiple Europeans/aussie/and internationals in general. My way of talking and accent is way different in training and I’m campus than when I’m back home
The most important thing is everyone to understand you English is like this not only in England, a lot of different accents in America, in Canada, in Australia, in South Africa ecc...

The one's missing for me is Lingard, he's got a Mancunian accent as well but for me it sounds different from Rashford's one
@@pn2124I know I realise how much even English people themselves struggle to understand this accent, I'll just go with what I feel comfortable with
I think that is a you problem... you shouldn't judge a person by their accent. Yes the English make fun of eachothers accents, Birmingham ones get a lot of stick in particular. However, we definitely don't actually consider them "stupid or unattractive" - that is utterly wrong.@@pn2124
Thank you! this really helps me doing my little linguistic research for my project :) great job dude!
My favorite thing about British people is their accents I could listen to you guys talk all day!!!
Thanks. Everyone hates me when i speak so im mute now lol.
Raheem’s accent is the easiest for me to understand. Cool😍😃
You are right
Nah, for me it was Mason mounts accent
probably helps that he speaks so slowly haha
Way easier than Saka.
No accent is easier than Jamie Carragher's 😂
Jadon Sancho actually speaks chameleon english ;p
Sancho’s accent is pretty much the South London hood accent

I love the story of Joe Baker. He was a No 9 for Hibernian in the 1950s and had a heavy Scottish accent even though he was English. When he turned up to join the England squad a policeman wouldn't let him in because he didn't believe he was English.
A British friend of mine said to me, "Liverpool accent is the weirdest accent he's ever heard", and he was right. You just listen to the way Steven Gerrard speaks. In fact, the comedian "Jimmy Carr" taught two celebrities how to speak Liverpool accent on the Graham Norton show, which I found unbelievable, and funny. Well, I'm telling you this because, I'm studying to become an English translator, so these videos are very useful for anyone who wants to learn English, and like an English teacher once told me; "learning a new language is difficult".
I actually can understand Sterling the most. The most difficult is Grealish. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it kimkimi ☺️
Sterling speaks well, unlike Grealish who speaks like the person that he is - thick Brummie
@@michaelketley876 unnecessarily good reply
Kane is worse than Jack.
@@avejaly8065 I can understand Kane easily, maybe you’re just going with the trend of: ‘Kane having his own language’.
Please do Love Island contestant accents! That would be so interesting! Especially this season has a huge variety of accents!
As an Asian, glad to know how that these players has their own local accents. The easiest for me to distinguish though is the Scouse which is way entirely different among the English accents. It sounds like a cowboy accent to me. I wish they have 1 scouser in this current roster of players to make this content more complete :)
Trent Alexander-Arnold is a scouser but he was out of the team through injury for this tournament. Look out for him in the next England matches when he’s fit again!

You should give yourself more credit! Your impressions are actually very accurate! I myself am from West Yorkshire Leeds and loved your impression! Spot on mate!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Cheers from the U.S.
Not interested in the footy but am interested in the accents.
Would love to see something on the accents of the East Midlands, I feel we get overshadowed by the Brummy lot in the West Midlands in terms of accents. I’d also kinda like to see what someone who isn’t from here and actually knows about accents makes of it, what features it shares with what accents, even though I got a decently strong accent for the area I am so used to hearing it I couldn’t tell you what it sounds like lol
I recognised that Jermaine Jenas is from Notts. I was proud of that one, it can be hard to tell. My mate is from there, so I’ve come to recognise it
Kane is not an accent is a whole new language spoken just by him 😂😂😂
Really enjoyed the video Tom
Jason in one interview forgot his English accent and just talked like a german
Jadon
Loving your videos so much, they are great for teachers and for students. Cada nuevo video es mejor que el anterior 😍
You should do this on comedians if you haven't already. Everyone loves British comedy.

6:28 It’s very true. In Japan, people are reluctant to receive English lessons from Brits because they think American English is standard English. Kiwis and Aussies also face that problem. As a result, kids sound American without having set foot in America, which I find cringey. I always say : « Don’t get stuck on accents, did you get the message ? »
I'd rather sound British than American myself lol.
I would say Australians sound like a Texan British to me
Australian accents are very similar to Estuary and Essex English - even some intonation and slang is almost the same.
I've notice among asians Japanese and Koreans are fond of American accent especially in Korea. They learned American English and wants to speak like American. However, the rest of the countries love English accents.
I find that so strange you know. Obviously the US is a western powerhouse but considering that English is the language of England you'd think if there was gonna be any standardised way of speaking it, it would the way it's spoken in England right? Very interesting
People probably talking about Kane.
He's got a different accent
hello tom! thanks for the incredible video, sending you love x
Rahim Stirling was born and raised in the Marverley community in Kingston Jamaica, I think he move to the UK with his mother when he was 8-years-old.
0:01 is that english he's speaking?
Fun fact: Sunderland’s accent is called “Mackem” because the city motto during the industrial revolution was “We MACKEM and they tackem “ (We make them and they take them)
It’s funny because their academy does produce a lot of good players that end up elsewhere. Both Pickford & Henderson started their careers at Sunderland.
Also wish there were more scousers in the side. Love the scouse accent it’s very unique in the English language.
Would prefer to have some Geordies in the team

Harry Kanes a bold choice of accent. He speaks like he has two tongues
Dropping the T is so common in England, I'm from Suffolk and we do it also
@@Dionysos640 It's interesting as it's common in Jamaican Patois and the Irish are the one of biggest ethnic group in the Jamaica so that could have been the influence behind the pronunciation. MLE in turn is heavily influenced by the Jamaican population.

Stephen fry never drops t
@Johnng Fred I don't get your point, that's what I just said.
Accents aside,
I really feel for Rashford and Sancho, who were sent in for the sole purpose of taking the penalty , which they failed miserably.
Saka too.
Me too. Poor guys.
They really don’t deserve the disgusting Racist abuse they’re getting. 😕
Agreed, im glad people are stepping up to this. These guys played for our country and made to the finals in a major which is something we haven't done in over 50 years.
No one should antagonise them for missing a pen. Especially Rashford where he helped the hungry children.
@@rb7007 Do you have any figure on how many racist comments were made?
It doesn't help when before the match people were saying " just remember if it's brought home, it's brought home by the children of immigrants ! " Even a facts website published a picture of the team and crossed out everyone who didn't have English English roots, there were about two left at the end with a big sign saying " immigrants " on it.
@@rb7007 Maybe this multiracial utopia experiment just isn't working? It's very easy to say white people are the objectors to co-existence when this multiracial experiment is only carried out in national teams where white people are the majority in its nation. I wonder how fanbases for teams like Congo and Nigeria would react to this forced multi-racial experiment with less black players and more Europeans and lets say East Asians.

As an American, could someone please explain to me, what I’ve been wondering most of since I was old enough to hear the Beatles speak for the first time. How come so many British people lose their accent when they sing?
(Besides the Proclaimers, & the songs, “Cool for Cats” (by squeeze), & “Always Look On the Bright Side of Life”
Im a Brit and British accent isn't good for singing most of the time .
@@robzsarmy5471 Thank you for your reply! But a large percentage of the British people I speak to, say:
That we (ALL) “Americans” are the ones with an accent, and that British people speak without an accent.
-
And then I have to get into an argument/discussion with them, about using examples like: Annie Lennox, Adele, or the Gallagher brothers, on when they speak, I can barely understand what they’re saying.
versus when they sing, I can, perfectly understand them.
And then with back-and-forth for several minutes, and then they finally admit that that:
“OK they lose their British accent when they sing”
-
You’re one of a small percentage that
“initial” admits to this.
-
But my question is:
Are (most) British people “intentionally emulating” an American accent when they sing?
(for example, if you would asked me to sing opera, I would attempt do an imitation of what I see on TV, of Luciano Pavarotti, and it’s nowhere near my regulars speaking (nor singing) voice.
-
Or does somehow British accents (magically) disappear when “most” Brits sing?
@@MikeCee7
1) I call this the "singers accent" basically it's because they are singing the vowels the same way, and since vowels take up the majority of the "sound" in singing - not consonants - it ends up having a certain sound to it which is close to a general stereotypical American accent.
2) American singers are big inspiration too so some actually do imitate American singing style
3) American accents in general are much easier to understand for non native English speakers so if a singer (normally pop singers) wants more popularity they will use more recognised voice /accents
@@robzsarmy5471 Thank you (Tremendously!) for explaining that to me! You’re the first (British) person to ever explain this to me on TH-cam. (well, basically the First anywhere with that detail of reasonings).
It was way back in 1985, when I first had this discussion with a British camp counselor in Massachusetts, one summer. So that’s been 38 years, that I’ve been waiting for a (reasonable) explanation for this phenomenon.
-
Your “#1” reasoning,
I’ve heard the short vowels verse long vowels thing, a couple times before, but I don’t understand this, because there’s a significant amount of different accents in the UK, I didn’t think that all these different accents, all spoke with either the short or long vowel. (whichever way it is, that makes them speak/sound different than Americans)
-
& I’ve heard (only one) British singer say your “#2” reasoning on a TV interview with an American reporter.
(that that this question gets asked a lot, other than by me) (LOL)
I forgot who it was, but it was sometime around several years ago, on an American entertainment TV news show.
I forgot who it was, but they were similar in popularity to John Legend.
-
But my question, that I wanted/wish I could ask him is: (now directed toward you)
Yes Chuck Berry, Elvis, & Little Richard, were first world wide popular in the late 50s, but it wasn’t much long before the Beatles became world wide popular in 1962/1963.
And then then the whole “British Invasion” happen with the Beatles, Stones, plus the other UK bands from the mid 60s, and then the late 60s with The Who & Zeppelin etc: And then the 2nd British invasion in the 1980s, with all the British New Wave bands that dominated. At one time from ~1983 to ~1984 or ~1985, 75% of MTV (in America) were only artist from England/UK.
-
So, with such a high influx of influence, of British artists singers World wide.
(very shortly after Elvis & Chuck Berry)
Is your “#2” answer, the dominate reason this happens? That they are “consciously” imitating an American accent?
Or is it more of “#1”?
-
And I guess The Proclaimers don’t follow your “#3” reasoning at all. (LOL)
@@robzsarmy5471 (FYI: don’t read this comment, until after reading my most recent prior comment)

Here’s a pretty funny clip of Elton John on SNL (Saturday night live)

I forgot about mentioning:
Right-said-Fred, “I’m Too Sexy”
and the Kinks, “Come Dancing”

I love the northern accents😍
You did stress this but I also want to, as someone from Birmingham, my accent is nothing like Bellingham or Grealish.
What a great, informative video. Thanks for this 👏🏽
Really interest to see the different accents. As a non native English speaker, it's interesting to remember that everyone has its own way of speaking and pronunciating.
Great video. As an American (who lived in England for a few years) it was easy for me to tell accents apart, as in these two people are not from the same area, and most of the time the very general region - North or South England, West or East London, but that's about it. This helps with some of the features I can pinpoint to narrow it down more.
I always loved the Yorkshire accent the best, I just like how they treat their vowels.
One of my favourite videos Tom. And good luck for tomorrow
I feel like this video could have last for hours and hours and it would be still interesting. I love it
My English is in coma after listening to Kane's accent 😂😂
Very interesting video. That's what makes English so hard, its variety. Very fascinating topics and I'd love a part 2
Im from Newcastle but feel the 2 things you pointed out about the sunderland accent were just general northeast pronunciations that Geordies say too. A better example of unique' mackem would have been when Jordan Henderson said the word 'seen' as they say it as Sey-en instead of which geordies would just say 'seen'. They say Cue-key for cookie as well etc and Bue-k for book

From an American, love the British accents!
And it's called FOOTBALL not SOCCER

You could also mention that the Mackems don’t pronounce the “H” when at the start of words so house becomes Ouse, hat is at, etc whereas we Geordie’s pronounce the “H” and we are only twelve miles apart 😂
this video is great! and very interesting. thank u! from Argentina.
I'm English. From North Kent. My accent used to be almost Cockney. Locally we would call it Chathamese. Harry Kane I would pick as North London. He doesn't have that East/ South London twang. But these guys are well travelled. And mix with many accents all the time. My neighbour is from near Whitby. Yet his accent is very similar to Jordan Henderson. You would swear he was from further up. Having now lived in Australia for over 25 years. My accent is bastardised English. When I first got to Oz. I used too much slang. And spoke too fast. A lot had trouble understanding me. I now speak as slow as the West country.
Thanks for sharing mate. I’ve not heard Chathamese before 😆 that’s brilliant! Interesting to hear how your accent has changed as you’ve moved around the world and adapted to your surroundings. All the best 👍🏼
T sounds: exist.
English accents: no i don't think i will.
Not all the British accents though
R exist too!
Love these accent videos! 😍
I love your videos and love that you did this for the team. Two things: 1. I was sad it wasn't the whole team: no DCL, for instance. 2. Do you think Kane's accent changes or is influenced by his tongue tie? In watching interviews, you can see he has a pretty severe one.
Nobody asked
There’s an interview on Jadon and living in Germany and he gets asked about his accent and he said he has been asked to try and speak in the German English accent as fans were complaining that they couldn’t understand his normal accent. So he’s not doing bc he wants to fit in 😂
Kalvin Phillips also said mek instead of make, what accent is that?
Kane’s accent is known as impediment
:(
Perfect! I love British cultures and accents and ppl
With jadon sancho, I see myself doing the same with my college team. We have multiple Europeans/aussie/and internationals in general. My way of talking and accent is way different in training and I’m campus than when I’m back home
The most important thing is everyone to understand you English is like this not only in England, a lot of different accents in America, in Canada, in Australia, in South Africa ecc...
I just realized Sancho's accent in Germany sounds just like Son's (who lived in Germany) Insaneee
