Great stuff. I'm a voice actor, and my dad's from Jamaica. This is one of the two primary accents I'd love to confidently have in my toolbox. Of the 2, this is the one I'm most comfortable with and the one that has the most cultural relevance to me.
I used to think that my english is not good enough to understand bob marley's songs, turns out it's a whole patois 😂. Which explains many things, thanks a lot my dear :D
ADD ONE MORE MAJOR RULE (that should be in top 5): The "d" sound in "nd" is silent. hand = an bend over = ben ova - You pronounced the silent d while you were explaining the silent s in (stand) tan a yuh yawd. (stand at your yard a.k.a. stay home).
I just googled how to do a jamaican accent as a joke for a friend, and I found this amazingly interesting and well done video. Really fun to watch and try, thanks!
Approx 50% of British people are now confused ….. you just told them that double negative is not acceptable in English. Love this video, and you are a great great teacher.
You are very amusing. I think it's very creative to try and explain patwa as you did. Brilliant. I am Jamaican and I loved it. I was laughing all the time, because it makes so much sense. Me hav to say me no wa a gwan. Yuh claim say yu a teacher. Yu big big an good good
Brain and beauty and have perfection speach .. now that's a full package and and and of course she is godly like Jamaica God fearing people never shallow down ❤❤❤ you know them from far away till they come close and close till you know you got this special one like Shan
Salut, je suis content de t'avoir trouvé car je cherche à approfondir mon anglais patois pour parler avec des amis ou la famille parfois, j'ai adoré ta vidéo, j'espère que tu iras loin, big up ☺
I love it ❤ I am surprised you didnt go over the pronunciation of the letter "a" when it is the 2nd letter in a word. Example: the word "Baseball" would sound like Biesball? I know it doesnt apply to all.
Wow this is great. Because I'm from an Island Culture that sounds very much similar to Jamaican Patois. The speech, the language, can really be written to sound like the actual sounds. I think it is awesome and academically of great importance that you are iilustrating (teaching) the conversion of sounds to match the actual spoken sounds. Your work towards standardizing the written form is appreciated and very important. Hawai'i Creole should certainly to follow your example so that the Creole there can take standardized written form.
I am Costa Rican, and my native language is Spanish. It all makes sense now. Thank you very much. I love Jamaican music but it is kind of hard for me to follow it. Now I feel have new tools to understand the beautiful beautiful Patwa. Great teacher!
A tip I am thinking about is when possible going to Limon province area and being in touch with afro Caribbean people, they have some pronunciation aspects that are very similar to those from Jamaica.
I find it hard to put a sentence together in Patwa we had a Jamaican foreign exchange student and I was the only one who could even attempt Patwa but luckily he was able to understand when I was able to replace certain letters like she’s teaching here
this is really interesting I’m from Thailand but my bf is Jamaican it really hard to understand some words I want to learn more about Jamaica’s language and culture thanks!!
Good stuff and well explained. I watched The Harder They Come last night and was embarrassed that I had to turn on subtitles! Please tell me where "dem" fits in and how sentences are structured around that word. Love the accent though ... and of course the Jamaican people!
I’ve always had a feeling I was Jamaican….always had the feeling of me actually being Jamaican and felt it in my culture language and tone but never had a chance to actually learn how to speak it
Thank you so much for this informative and helpful video. I am an acting and dialect coach but was not as up on my Jamaican accent so this helps me refine quickly. I have students in the Crucible coming up this season and wanted to make sure Tituba character had a working Jamaican accent. Very helpful. Thanks again.
Flanka, also called Flankers, is the name of a place in Montego and top skanka can have different meanings depending on the context. It can mean something like 'general', 'mi boss' and so on.
As a Jamaican American I couldn’t help but laugh because knew all this just from picking it up a a kid. I’m a great mimic, but this definitely helps strengthen certain words in patios.
Jamaicans are from Africa according to History, but according to me most of them are from Kenya, and they are THE KIKUYU TRIBE,. According to physical appearance. I love you Jamaicans 💞
Enlighten me on some Jamaican history. I could have sworn their amcestors are from the Congos. I know that's partially the case for DR and PR at least.
The giggle when she says "clot" has got me dying.
Cuz iykyk
I want to learn this so i can understand reggae better. It's my favorite music in the world. This is very helpful. Big up yuh self!
Big up
I love your honesty when you don’t know what to say.

Omg same my dad is from jamica to are u fluent with it and if so give me some tips
@@alu1582I’m actually fluent, but I live there the first few years of my life and talk with family
Even though I'm hispanic, I'm surrounded by all Jamaicans. Might as well learn some Patois.
Sounds good to me!
Bless!

I used to think that my english is not good enough to understand bob marley's songs, turns out it's a whole patois 😂. Which explains many things, thanks a lot my dear :D

You're a natural teacher
Thank you
Good work, keep it .Never give up ❤ watching from Nairobi Kenya🇰🇪
Very useful lessons here. I am beginning to understand those old reggae lyrics by Marley and Tosh etc😜
I love your teaching , more understanding
Another is that "tion" in English (pronounced 'shn' or 'shuhn') usually becomes "shun" or "chun", with a strong emphasis on the U.
This is really interesting. I can hear influences from different countries in grammar and accent .
That hair flip! This confidence :) thank you for teaching us!
ADD ONE MORE MAJOR RULE (that should be in top 5): The "d" sound in "nd" is silent.
hand = an
bend over = ben ova
- You pronounced the silent d while you were explaining the silent s in (stand) tan a yuh yawd. (stand at your yard a.k.a. stay home).
I’m Jamaican and I’m trynna learn patois
What’s the reason you don’t know ? Serious question
Raised in the US away from my Jamaican father is my reason.
Why is no one talking about her beauty!? ❤
She is pretty can’t concentrate in class 😅
Youve succumbed to your weaknessess brotha
Because not everyone is a simpleton like you.
Ot fa teacha.
Im African american and i really want to have this cute accent, I'm already kinda getting the hang of it
I just googled how to do a jamaican accent as a joke for a friend, and I found this amazingly interesting and well done video. Really fun to watch and try, thanks!
Thank you so much for this. You are so beautiful and intelligent. I appreciate you clarifying a lot of the language for me.
I love Jamaican songs so much, more especially popcaan, masacka, quada, jahmiel and chronic law songs...i sang their songs so much
Great stuff, clear and to the point.
Yes she did well
Approx 50% of British people are now confused ….. you just told them that double negative is not acceptable in English. Love this video, and you are a great great teacher.

Good stuff and well explained. I watched The Harder They Come last night and was embarrassed that I had to turn on subtitles!
Please tell me where "dem" fits in and how sentences are structured around that word.
Love the accent though ... and of course the Jamaican people!
"Who is d bad man ?!" That's a brilliant low budget biopic .
Patwa is very close to how we speek in West Yorkshire England
I don't hear it personally
I've been ending 'er' words with 'a' all my life cos of my accent. Step 1 complete!
the intro 🤣🤣🤣 you really know your audience
I’ve always had a feeling I was Jamaican….always had the feeling of me actually being Jamaican and felt it in my culture language and tone but never had a chance to actually learn how to speak it

Enlighten me on some Jamaican history. I could have sworn their amcestors are from the Congos.
I know that's partially the case for DR and PR at least.
They're mostly from West Africa
