Very well composed video, excellently informed and entertaining, as a dubliner😊
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
@@LoveEnglishUKLeila still does not know anything of the Welsh dialect or language 🏴
As a Dubliner I couldn't stop laughing. She's captured and dissected the accent so well that I thought she must be Irish. She's not. What an ear she has.
You Nailed it! I'm a Dubliner, and you are such a natural at speakin Hiberno English!
The Irish were forced to speak English. When they did, they spoke it using the rules of the Irish language. Irish has no TH sound and that's why the Irish say TREE instead of THREE and an S is pronounced SH, as in Sinead. Even when speaking English, you'll hear people say, "I'm from the wesht of Ireland".
Wow I never knew that about "Wehsterners"..I just thought they were primative, ignorant, gombeens...!!!
Haha I’m a Dubliner and you’ve nailed it. Very interesting to see the technical reasons why we sound like that.
I like the Irish accent. It is pleasant to the ear.
Scottish accent is the worst lol
Serene accent to hear Irish
You have to specify which Irish accent though. Northern Irish (Belfast) accent is quite different from Southern (Dublin) accent.
Irish people. The most gentle people I ever knew. They are so nice and polite. Good hearted people.
Conor McGregor, the Kinahans, The McDonagh Kelly Nevin Ward McGinley Travellers...lovely gentle people...
Living in Ireland may change that opinion.
@@daniel11111 It did.
As a German, I find it amazing how the Irish accent (or a variant of it) is explained to me here, it is all very understandable and easy to follow.
I kept wondering how many of these subtleties an average Southern British speaker would pick up without such great instruction?
In Germany, most people would have a hard time imitating another German accent or dialect in a truly authentic way.
Great job!
That has helped me a lot for my Irish accent training. Thank you
You are so welcome! If it helped you please share it !
I'm from Dublin myself but I don't live there and I want to absolutely be able to talk this accent so thanks for this video
One of the best accent videos I’ve ever seen/heard.
Thank you so much!
Having been to this beautiful country last year, I instantly fell in love with this Irish way to speak English. It meets the most with the way I speak English myself as a German, inhaling English spelling and pronouncing everywhere I have traveled to, so far. A mixture of British, American, and some other ingredients. I felt kind of "home", lingually, if I may say so
Well done. Most other people are rubbish at doing this. Compliments from a Dub!
Well said!
As a Dubliner myself, I have to say you have captured the accent superbly. Although, as you say yourself, there are many Dublin accents. If I met you, I'd guess northside inner suburbs somewhere. Comfortable but not posh. You're very consistent so would fool me completely.
One comment on the issue of "th" being changed to "t" or "d". I think there's an "in-between" sound that comes from the Irish language. If you meet a native speaker of Irish, ask them to say "Dúirt mé" which means "I said". The soft D at the start is what many of us use instead of "th".
Thanks so much for this interesting and insightful comment! I really appreciate it and I will definitely try the phrase you suggested. Thank you! 👍
@@LoveEnglishUK If you’re looking for a native speaker of Irish, they’re still to be found in Kilburn and Camden. A few years ago, in the Irish speaking district of Connemara on the west coast, I got a local man to install a stove for me. He had spent most of his life in London and his habitual work attire was a Crossrail hi-viz waistcoat. He had the extremely strong brogue of an emigrant (the old brogue has died out a bit in Ireland) and to my shame I judged him for it. It was only when I heard him speak Irish to his assistant that I realised he had the most elegant Irish I had ever heard in the wild. Find someone like him to pronounce “dúirt mé” for you!
@@jamesgrace479 ‘…in the wild’. 🤣
@@LoveEnglishUK If you’re ever expanding your Irish accents beyond Dublin, I’d recommend researching the softer Irish “th”.
A lot of Irish people aren’t consciously aware of it, but we can almost always differentiate “th”, “t” and “d” words in most of our accents. “Then”, “den” and “ten” or “thin”, “tin” and “din” will always sound different as some examples.
So if the sounds become too interchangeable the Irish accent impression can sound a bit “off” even if the Irish person doesn’t understand why. There’s a youtube video by K Klein about it that could be helpful.
Very interesting. Just to note that if you say in Ireland an Irish Speaker more or less everyone will take that to mean speaking the Irish Language, Gaeilge
Irish/Dublin accent is the prettiest❤
This is a really solid effort. Say this as a local. Well done.
Great to hear! Thank you!!
One of the best teacher i' ve seen.
As a polyglot I'm really impressed with your easy and fluid transition from RP to Hiberno-English. Terrific. Cheers
wth is a polyglot
@@leroysanchino it’s something in KOTLC I think
Can’t believe as a Irishman I’m watching a reaction of how great the Dublin accent is I wanna dive headfirst into a shuck.
Tysm- i like knowing accents as a weird party trick- just decided to overcome my struggle with the Irish accents :)
It’s the vowel sounds which make the Irish accent different from any accents in Britain .
This lady has perfect pitch.
She is hitting every corner of my accent.❤😂
Exactly falf way through she Became Irish.
Whatever she is, she is wingman Quality.
So good - so accurate - perfect Dublin Accent
The Donegal accent is wonderful 😍
As a Dublin cty person I can say that was spot on.
I love this! Very useful for breaking down some of the nuances of the accent.
Southern Ireland 😂😂😂😂 I love how it's only the British who say this.
The “Great Vowel” shift circa 16-17 hundred which changed pronunciation of certain vowels in Britain did not affect Dublin accents which stayed pretty much as it always was . With “O” being pronounced “Ow” as for example “a owld” for old or “bowl” for bowl etc . For example people will say “oh he has an “owld” cold or flu … which does not refer to the “age “ of the illness but rather how common it may be !
Am watching from Zambia 🇿🇲 in Africa 🌍
I loved the video , Irish accent is the best indeed.. Father Ted and Msr Brown are fine examples to how entertaining and beautiful this accent..😄
Thanks a lot about it my Amazing teacher !!!
Absolutely brilliant anlysis. I loved it.
Great story, Sabrah! This accent is pretty understandable.
Thanks so much Sergiy! Nice to see your comment!
Nicely made video. 😊 I was born in England but lived in Dublin from 12 to 23 years old and did pick up a bit of a Dublin accent. The one main feature you missed was the vowel in Come, Run Pub, Bus. You'd think it'd be the same as the north of England, but it's not as it has an /o/ feature in it. Although I now have my SSSB accent back again (35 years English teacher and accent coach in BCN later) I've found that when I say "yer wan" (that woman) I use that phoneme still. The lower the social class, the stronger the accent, and yes, we could tell which part of Dublin by their accent. Brave of you to take this on, and apart from the phoneme in words like "brought" and "work" that sound like the phoneme in "for", you more or less nailed it. Grand job altogether👍👏🤩💃
I'm Dublin born & bred - the "t" and "d" are declining rapidly. In fact, a highly Americanised form is now noticeable in the under 30s, especially in middle-income areas.
Your accent is excellent btw
That’s kind of sad, that’s my favorite part of the accent
thank you so much dear
Too much love to you from Persia
i used to date an irish person and when i visited i was so confused at how different everyone sounded even when they came from the same village. some sounded like americans to me while some i didnt understand what they say at all😭 english is not my first language and when i first landed in dublin it's like i was tongue tied, all the english i knew vanished from my body.
I love westlife since i was 12 when their hit song 'my love' came out.. They're from dublin n sligo.. My first literature book was "potato people" also about irish people which i learnt when i was 13. I wish to go to ireland someday❤
Amn't I? was really impressive. :) I miss my irish teachers.
The Dublin accent depends on class and north or south of the Liffey.
Speaking as a native Dub this is very good.
The one adjustment I would make is on point 4. This is the one feature people doing an Irish accent almost always get wrong to the extent that we have a term for it; stage Oirish. It is like an imitation of an imitation of an imitation of an imitation and quite divorced from the real thing.
If you want your Irish voice to sound authentic do not lean in to this feature as much as others do. I wish I could give better direction that that; the I sound is different but it is not as close to "oy" as many think.
Thanks so much for this feedback ! It is super helpful! 👍
Well said.
When you said Aidan Turner i literally screamed Yessss 😱 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I Love my husband
Hi my lovely! :-) my ray of sunshine, my ears' delight, my very Rose of England 🌹😊
What a talent and what a great lesson Sabrah! You described the features so magnificently. It is true that it's a beautiful accent and I believe you when you say that it's considered to be the sexiest of English accents. In any case, as you say it, I'm totally smitten and under the spell, and, as far as I'm concerned,it reaches new heights of sensuality.
I don't think I've finished watching the video to taste it even more and soak it all in!
When I saw Brendan Gleeson, I told to myself: I know that guy and then he spoke of braveheart and I immedietly pictured Hamish
It's funny because I saw the film again very recently (for the tenth time probably ... and I still cried my eyes out at all the scenes with the beautiful Murron in particular ;-)
As a matter of fact, in response to your request, and even though I have little doubt so much you are good at accents, do you think you'd be able to tell us about the Scottish accent and its characteristics? ... You’d give me great pleasure!
Inutile de te dire à quel point j'ai adoré te retrouver et aimé la leçon ! Sans mentionner que tu es plus belle que jamais ! :-)
Merci infiniment Sabrah ! Au grand plaisir de te revoir très vite ! 🙏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! Je T'M, bisous bisous 😘🌹❤❤❤💞

@@LoveEnglishUK
Fantastic! Merci Sabrah ! 👍💞
You do a very convincing Dublin accent. Best not to refer to ‘Southern Ireland’ though! That’s Cork or Kerry.
There are a few variations in the working-class Dublin accent, depending on which part of the city you’re from. Then you have the posh middle class accent in the leafy suburbs, particularly in the south of the city. That tends more towards the English accent.
Many younger people nowadays speak with an American or mid-Atlantic accent. It’s nearly impossible to tell if they’re Irish. That’s down to the Americanisation of the country.
I love your own English accent.
Scottish accent next, please!
East Midlands. Thank you ❤
Thing is i can't pronounce "r" as well because Rhotacism and if i try hard it results in an irish accent!
So as a romanian is win win!
Your Dublin accent in better than mine (I'm a Dub).
Wow thanks so much!
Very good , from a Dubliner
So mant Irish accent impressions are terrible. This was spot on!
انا عربية وتعجبني جدا هذه اللهجة لذا انا ممتن لك على هذا الفيديو
Southern Irish means Cork. It's Republic of Ireland.
that’s exactly what I thought
🥱
It’s just “Ireland”. Republic of Ireland is a descriptor. The official name of the country is Ireland. As lodged by the state with the United Nations.
Great video. This accent is one of my faves! The aspirated "t" makes me swoon lol😂
Yes I so agree!
Great content Sabrah and very accurate. I would love to have your linguistic knowledge and the ability to impart it. I spent a few nights in a hotel near Bristol recently and I honestly think they gave me room 33 on purpose just to hear the non pronunciation of my tee haches 😂. It was some craic to see the reception staff stifling a laugh whenever I asked for my key. Not directly linked to accents but one very important thing to remember about how we speak English in Ireland is the influence of the Irish language. Not sure if you've heard the term Hiberno - English but that's basically what we speak in Ireland. It's something I find is often overlooked when people are trying to coach the Irish accent. We have so many terms directly translated from our native language to English. For instance, just to mention two, but there are thousands of others, we would have terms like "I'm just after having my breakfast " or "I have an awful thirst on me". These are direct translations from the Irish language. Without getting too technical, stuff is on you in the Irish language. In England I would wager that those two phrases would be "I've just had my breakfast " and " I'm awfully thirsty". Keep up the good work. Beir bua agus beannacht.
Loved this so much! Thank you! The points about the phrases are very interesting thank you. I would like to learn more about the influence of Hiberno-English on the way you speak today in terms of the phrases. Thank you 😊
You are very good on doing the the irish accent
I always make sure to read the comments first to see if Dubliners approve
Very thanks,fine,greetings,like.
Oooh! Irish, I love it ❤
In dublin we’ve got middle class and working class people , and there 2 completely different accents like Barry Keoghans very working class his accents different to Aidan Turner.
My husband Aidan is amazing hes so sexxy
i can do southern british middlands scotland and mixture of irland along with an amazing indian accent and austalian
My next Dungeons and Dragons character is gonna have an irish accent so this is incredibly helpful lol
your RP is the sexiest
I've been outside Ireland for 8 years now but in Galway we commonly used the d/t in place of the th. I didn't notice it until I came to the US and put a little effort into blending in. Mum and nana grew up in Kerry; my father was from Dublin, but he went to school in Canada and he brought some of that back with him. I'm not sure I'd be able to point out a Dublin accent if I heard it.
Sabra, today's lesson is very impressive and I have to repeat the video, but it is very interesting.. You do not know the amount of happiness and hope when I see a lesson from you.. You are a source of joy to me.. Today is our first day of Ramadan and I pray to God to open your heart to Islam and grant you Paradise, as well as Laila.. Grateful To you..Today will be a decisive match for the Saudi Al-Nasr Club, led by Ronaldo, and we won. Can you congratulate me in the next video, my wonderful teacher?❤🥺 Nada from Saudi Arabia
Oh great news! Well done ! I am so glad you love the videos! Thank you for your kind comment ! 💕
I am interested in the difference between the northern/Belfast and the southern/Dublin accent. I know the placement of the "house" vowel is more forward in Belfast, but I'm not sure I've identified much more.
Bit of fun. Actors tend to soften things when talking on American interviews. I’ve loads of dub friends. More on the north side and the city centre there’s more of a nasal o sound with words like “don’t, going, know.”
I tends to sound like something between auy and oy.
There’s a subtle pattern in sentences that has a bit of “ah jeez here we go again”
Auy daownt knaow heww ta dew diss 😂 Bote den a gann Auymm joost a yank.
If you’re ever at a loss just inhale sharply whilst saying “yea.”🤣
I'm Thai but someone said on my live stream chat that my accent sounds Irish. So i am here to check and see 😂
Dublin, a sexy accent😅, best irish joke ever
3:00 this T or D sound instead of Th is still very much alive in the northside of Dublin, especially in the young people
4:15 as for this, this is heavily associated with the south side of dublin, in the Northside, the T in the middle of a word is a lot of the time just dropped completely, so date would just be dae, butter is 'bu-er', water is 'wuh-er'
Hey there nobody has asked for her to do a accent! So far I have seen it pulled.off.once.in my life.time. a west Australian.accent/ or a northern Queensland accent( the most.iconic one which is the most.authentic Australian accent we have. As an extra challenge I'd like to hear your direction of the language and apply it to our colloquialisms.correctly. thankyou your awesome. I have Irish parents but grew up in australia so I've always wanted to get the accent right so I could get the nod from da
Will give it a go. It is on my list!
The best thing i reckon you could find on the net would be the show ' hey hey its saturday'. The true Aussies accent has been largely lost, but every now and then you'll hear a 60+ construction worker nail a 5 a minute conversation with 10 colloquialism/idioms(without missing a beat)15 varieties.of the word fuck( very important as it makes up 50 percent of all.sentences) . The other quality.resource.would be to listen to any Australian rules football commentator from the 80's through to the late 90's, or any person who uses.rhe word 'ta' or 'garn'. I'm.giving away national secrets right now but your videos are great. Ok bye
Thank you so much God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
You are so welcome ! 💕
@@LoveEnglishUK thank so much 🥰
Esse video e muito bom
I find the Dublin accent really sexy on women... Especially this one girl I used to speak to, never met her in person. Used to work for an International Bank's call center and from time to time we transferred customers through to the Dublin office, she was a colleague there while I was based in England. Spoke to her a few times transferring customers. Made my day better.
Nice Work! - Thank you.
When i go to the uk i do a standard south of the uk accent to ask directions, complain, make small talk 😂😂
I like the way Irish people say beggora or beggabers every other word, wear wellies all the time and green clothes and fit right in, top of the morning to you!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 And this is all in between us hunting for leprechauns.
Please do you have a course connected speech?thank you😊
Good stuff! 😊👍
First class video.
I need to do a self tape in a Dublin accent, going to try to get it done soon
The reason Irish do not do ”th” correct is that Hiberno-English which is the form of English spoken in Ireland is heavily influenced by the Irish language as we speak English handed down from our ancestors who had English language forced on them. The Irish language does not have the “th” sound so Irish people have also struggled with it. A remnant of our history that I hope we don’t lose.
im irish and im going out with a lad from dublin even though i am from offaly tullamore and i can tell you full heartedly that that is not a dublin accent, although it is a really good generalised irish accent fair play xx
Oh dear,, as you said accent is so nice and sweet, but I had a terrible experience with an Irish bloke at a pub in Australia when I was studying there.. The incident goes like this, I was just sitting over at the corner of this pub and this macho looking irish bloke came and struck a conversation with me immediately ... So, he started speaking so fast that I didn't understand a word of what he was saying and the worst thing was not only his accent but the music and the peoples loud voice made matters worst for us to have a decent conversation and he just went on and on and spoke to me like 5 minutes and since I didn't respond anything to him, what he did was like he grabbed by my collar and took me outside and he just said angrily, dude I have been asking you all this time, what was your name and where you were from and that's all that I have been asking you for the past 10 minutes 😂😂 and the moment he said this that I couldn't stop laughing for the next 10 minutes and that's Irish and they are absolutely fun loving people.. 😂❤🤩🤩
That's my little story on Irish, wish you have a good day and see you later my dear.. 🙏
Hugs.xoxoxo
Gams ❤️
Oh my goodness! It can be hard to understand! I can imagine this could happen! 😂 haha good story! Xx
@@LoveEnglishUK 😂😂❤️❤️😍🤩🤭
Brilliant
Great video, Sabrah! Accents are so captivating. I'd like some Scottish accent, if possible. Btw, the Pachira Aquatica at the back looks awesome. It's said to bring good energy and fortune to the home. Regards!!
Thank you yes I can do Scottish next 👍
In Ireland we refer to the North and the South. We don't use Northern or Southern Ireland. Indeed we'd say the South of England but not Southern England. It just a "ting" we have.
Apart from that, very good indeed.
"Three" is "tree" mostly around Limerick.
Spot on.
I like the arish
Can you do Manchester. Lived here 40yrs and I still can't do their accent. Belfast, Liverpool, Brum no problem but could never pass for a manc.
I have made this video. Check my accents playlist.
❤❤ woooow stunning ever said words. I'm thrilled with that
If i'm not mistaken Irish similar to American one, like they pronounce the "R" sound
what about barry keoghan? where is his accent from?
i know nothing about accents but after watching him along other irish actors he definitely sounds different, and i can't find an answer as to why anywhere
He’s from the inner city center of Dublin, it’s usually thicker than the likes of Colin Farrell or Brendan Gleason who are from the suburbs.
We don't put an extra r in between two words, which English people do to sound posh!
Thanks a lot
Oh my God! I learned American English as a second language at home thanks to my family. They speak American English as well, and I swear Irish English sounds pretty similar to American accent
Hi my teacher
You, I think, missed out on the t at the end of a word tending towards an sh sound, so right tends towards roysh (not quite but nearly)
Ahh interesting! Yes I had heard about it. Thank you!
You could easily pass as a Dubliner.
Gets lost anywhere west of Maynooth?
