We're just confused remember most of the time we speak our languages and at school we're taught British but our TV screens are full of American TV I think that the reason .
I feel like the only reason why the UK and SA accents sound the same is because in most SA schools teach us the UK English so that's why they probably sound the same
people saying that south african english is fancy gogo waka on the other hand yelling at me to pick up a dish while speaking broken english yo my fellow south africans awweee we did it zuma is in jail
It’s cool to hear the difference in rhythm between the UK and SA accents. Because most of your sounds (phonemes) are the same or very close. But you guys speak with different rhythms. I think that’s what makes the South African accent so difficult to imitate
@@BronzeSista yeah. We have 11 official languages. We do have a slight accent because of our different ethnic backgrounds. But the pronunciation is most the same.
All British colonies speak and brought up with the proper way of english that's why it may sound different to Americans but to be honest the correct way of writing color is colour. Same way with favour.
Jelly is artificial and Jam is the actual preservative. Jello is a brand name but just refrigerated water with flavoring, Jello has nothing to do with the previous two.
hi every one! im from Brazil, and i found out this channel tryin to know more about African English....and I was caught by the sympathy of these three girls, especially you Benitta... thank you and continue to watch out for more videos and showing the different cultures of English-speaking countries!!!

Lol enjoyed the vid so much.🤣🤣 By the way, we do have Reception in SA, the R in Grade R stands for Reception. Why is it Reception? Because it's the first year of proper schooling for a child so it's a "welcoming" year into formal schooling, exactly like you're welcomed into a company's reception. 😉
Amazing , not only do I love the fact that y'all diverse , I just love y'all in general. It's so funny to hear the different accents and pronunciation. So interesting, I'm from South Africa too😎soo...
I'm South African and I feel like everyone has their own accent and it sometimes gets in the way of the way they speak Nigerians for instance so I can't blame the Americans
Part two pretty please ❤️. I'm loving Europe and America. I'm South African too and it's fun watching these videos because they are also educational 💕💕thanks for the great content love you Benitta🌈
South African English has a European influence because it had been colonized by England,hence there is a slight difference between the South African and European Lady's English .
I would have loved to hear you pronounce words like Matty, daughter, water,zebra, phonics, herb, bologna, presentation, pecan and buoy. Also identify things like Stroller/pram, lollipop/sucker, line of people, outhouse/loo and explain why a handbag is called a pocket book in America. Why you park in the driveway but drive on the parkway, why rush hour traffic does not move etc. There are many other interesting differences in cultures that you guys could explore, maybe in another video
American pronunciation : Makes everything sound casual South African pronunciation: Makes everything sound so dramatic Uk or European pronunciation: makes everything sound elegant Spoken by a half South African🇿🇦 and half Scottish 🏴
The only thing common between our Jam and their "Jelly" is that we eat them with bread, they are different products. Jam is made from real fruit, it's more of a fruit preserve, whereas Jelly(Their "Jam") is mostly artificial with lots and lots of sugar. This video was awesome. 🇿🇦😎
Hello from a South African from Pretoria. We also say marked, and more say puke instead of vomit. And in my family, we pronounce Tuesday as ‘Tyoosday’. Also, we more say ‘Grade nought’; ‘zero’ is not used too much in SA, in my experience. Thank you for the video.
Actually the same thing is happening in Portuguese. I am from Mozambique 🇲🇿. We speak Portuguese as the official of the country, because it was colonised by Portugal. Linguistically we call this version Portuguese as European. The most known types of Portuguese are the following: European which is on other hand called Portugal from Portugal and Brazilian Portuguese. The African portuguese speaking countries : Mozambique, Angola, Guinea Bissau, Cabe Verde and São Tomé and Principe use european Portuguese, because they were all colonised by Portugal. Here in Mozambique for instance we neither sound more Europeans nor Brazialians. However, we sound more africans with beautiful accent, although we have different accents depending on the regions and influence. We use more Europeans spelling, vocabulary and grammatical rules. Nowadays things are changing, because of a lot things that we watch and read from Brazil(TV's, books, etc). Here in Mozambique there are more Brazilians than Portugueses. And this makes us use brazilian spelling and vocabulary - speciallly we the younger generation.
@@BenittaDanielle Lemme register myself to your channel. Benitta, I am coming to South Africa in between February and March of the Next year. I have gotta come there with my RUclips channel created.

Could the ‘Reception’ that Alda’s speaking of be ‘Grade R’ in South African terms?🙆🏾♂️ dang. Also, I love Angie😂 she has vibe to her. idk how I got to this channel but I’m here.
The US started removing the "u" in daily print media to save on printing cost, because the word still sounded the same, but you used a character less. As a result it infiltrated general literature and now they just spell wrong.
@@thandiwemkhwanazi1428 Americans in general have a tendency to call things or rather spell words as the word sounds...pavement vs sidewalk. Cheque is a French word which was adopted by the British and then the rest of the world...the Americans used it many many years ago but then just decided to go the other way. So it literally came down to them preffering to spell it like it sounds.
@@brandonmaart2202 Fun fact: In Philadelphia English we still do actually use the word pavement (also sidewalk), fire plug/water plug, spigot (faucet). Lol
American English for the most part is only recognised in the America's lol. If you spell colour as 'color' anywhere else you're getting a zero on you're spelling test. Also pronunciation of words like Tuesday is about the origin of the word. If you read the Oxford or even Cambridge English dictionary or any other non-American dictionary for that matter the pronunciation of the word is right underneath it Tuesday being "tju-zdei" . Another thing that irks me about American English is that they not only don't complete the words but don't pronounce syllables correctly. An example could be the compound letter 'Ph', can be pronounced as both F and P, so if one justifies pronouncing the T in Tuesday as 'Too' instead of 'Tju or Choo' then one can also justify spelling 'Photosynthesis' as Fotosynthesis or pronouncing it as 'P'otosynthesis ... Anyway what I'm coming to is English has rules just like all other languages lol. P.S I think South Africans🇿🇦 speak the best English, even better than a lot of the English🇬🇧😂 Australians also pronounce their words in full so kudos to them! lol.
13:23 for the Reception part we do have it in South Africa. But we don’t call it Reception. We call it Grade R or Grade Nought (0) which is right before Grade 1. So I’m guessing the R is most likely short for Reception since we tend to follow the British system. Cause when I was six the teachers called it Grade R for us.
In south Africa, we speak both American and British English.
But our accent is different

@@BenittaDanielle nah it actually is grade R
is grade r
Grade 0 is a thing, its just seldom
🤔maybe the R in grade R is reception?
South African English is pretty much the same as the european English
Pretty much
That's because we are influenced by a British country. Particularly England. It's the same thing as most mid-African countries speaking French.
But you have other languages spoken as well? Which causes a slight accent
@@BronzeSista yeah. We have 11 official languages. We do have a slight accent because of our different ethnic backgrounds. But the pronunciation is most the same.
