The sexiest way to learn accents!! Alex is the best musician of our generation and the savior of rock and roll! Please, Dan Smith from Bastille for the next video 🥰❤🔺️
I love how a country not that big in size developed so many accents that are this distinctive from each other. Thanks for the dissection! I would love one on Geordie accent
I don't know if you've noticed, but he drops the "f" on the word "of" and then links with a linking R with the following "it", resulting in "o' (r)it". I heard him say that more clearly in an older interview from 2006 :) super interesting, if you ask me
This video saved my life! I have always wanted to know the story of his accent because I find it interesting every time I listened to him speaking and singing. Thank you so much!
my dad was born in wales and moved to the us when he was 7, and lost his accent. the funny thing is that he still does many british accents very well. i told him alex is from sheffield and he immediately did his exact accent, it was so impressive to me.
Having a very Scottish accent myself, I’m super, super aware and conscious of every single thing a say and how I pronounce it, even when talking to other people in Scotland that have a “posher” accent than me. I was once on 30 miles away from where I live, for an appointment, and I really had to try to talk “properly “ because they wouldn’t have understood me. The said “oh there were so many scurries when I parked the car” she looked at me like wtf? -that one slipped out, scurries are sea gulls who pounce for any bit of food-they have zero manners and massive balls 😂 , it’s so embarrassing when I slip up and word gets through, mostly when I start to relax, it’s just embarrassing. I love my accent but hate it at the same time. We have friends in the Caribbean and they love our accent, but even then it’s extremely toned down from how we talk at home. Saying all that, my kids have to talk proper in English in school, they aren’t allowed to talk with our accent, and even did a project on “talking Doric”, it’s sad, there are so many words that we maybe don’t use as often now a days, and my kids are slowly loosing their native tongue despite living in the same place their entire lives.
Hey! I’m Swarnima, a student of class 10 from India 🇮🇳. Just wanted to say you’re accent is amazing! And I love a British accent and wanting to learn for a long time. You’re channel’s helping a lot! Thanks!
Found this vid very interesting - I'm a Sheffielder, and it can be difficult trying to explain my accent to those from out of the country, for example, or describe it to those I can't actually speak to myself. I like the way this is put together and presented. Got to say, though, I do think Alex's accent has lessened over the years - he's not lived here for a long time, and his singing voice in particular has a much more American influence about it.
The usage of mek and tek (make and take) in Yorkshire are pretty interesting. As a Yorkshireman (west) myself, I find I use both accented and correct pronunciation of the words. I think the word "make" when casually slipped into a sentence will be pronounced "mek". But when used as a key word in a sentence, like "I'm going to make something (or summat)" will more likely be pronounced correctly. That's just my observation anyway.
It’s great to hear someone so enthusiastic about English accents and dialects. My German wife learned RP and, on her first visit to me in Yorkshire, got off the plane at Liverpool to be met by a Scally bus driver. She was utterly nonplussed! Listening to and understanding the local accent, if you’re planning to spend some time in the UK, is time well spent I would say, and Tom’s presentations, from what I’ve seen, are an excellent introduction. As an aside I missed Alex Turner’s Buzz Cut years and didn’t realise that he had such a pronounced Widow’s Peak. Very scary. He’s also from the very north of Sheffield - it’s almost Barnsley his accent, not Sheffield City… Accents and dialects change from village to village in that part of the world.
People saying that he changed... He is just more comfortable on stage and developed a persona to express himself there, a lot of great artists does that, but he still himself...Just see his interviews and interactions, he still shy and with difficulty to express himself speaking... And actually no one is a teen forever
I’m from Yorkshire and honestly listening to him singing and talking is just ordinary to me and I absolutely love people talking about how is accent is strange
American English is my second language and undertanding British people is hard enough, the Yorkshire/Sheffield accent takes it to a whole nother level. It’s a very different accent, blows my mind
@@Elchino5.7 same, i learned english watching tv shows and interviews and it took me like two months of alex's interviews to understand what he was saying
Hi! I am learning English, and I really like British accent. And I love Arctic Monkeys. So seeing this video on my recommendations was a great surprise! Thank you🤩
I always love the 'üh' sound especially when I'm listening to their old albums. I would sing along and do my best yorkshire accent everytime. My fav part of the üh sound is in 'if you were there beware' "ain't you had enough? what you're tryna dig up isn't there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs"
I was pretty lucky to have an English teacher from York, the first time I heard him I was bamboozled because of his pronunciation: Those "u's" drove me crazy but it was easy for me to get used to his way. In that time I began to listen to the Arctic Monkeys, I'll just tell I didn't have to search where they came from. Greetings from Peru
I'm from Sheffield and I just love that some people will be so confused at his accent but even though I don't have a strong accent I can put it on whenever I like
I remember drinking cider in my local park at 14 too, standard. I'm from West Yorkshire but only live 15 mins drive from Sheffield. He definitely has an American twang on the second video at the start, then as it went on his accent came back through.
I'm from Sheffield originally before i moved to London and now, i'm back in my home town in Asia. my mom is british-italian, she have a regular British accent but my dad, who is Asian, has an extremely strong Yorkshire accent. Him and I are both not fluent but he managed to fake it because of his strong accent lmao.
Came here randomly - well probably because of binge watching videos of the Arctic Monkeys - and what can I say, I love that! I‘ve learned a lot, thank you ☺️
i think where he’s doing the interviews has a massive impact on his speech. it’s a common habit a lot of people i know have; when you’re around people that speak a certain way you begin to unconsciously adopt certain ways of pronouncing words to sort of sync with them. in the second interview example he’s not only in america but he’s also being interviewed alone and i think in the absence of matt jamie and nick he automatically loses a lot of the dialect

Am I wrong or Scottish people and Liverpool dwellers have very similar ways to pronounce the "T", the "N", the "O" and the "S", as well as other letters? I'll dig deeper when I have time!

Ha ha. Little Alex. Local lad High Green North Sheffield. I remember him and Cookie before they had any records out. Used to see them in pub and sometimes all four members of the band before the band member change. Didn't see Alex much after they made it. Seen Cookie loads. Alex used to copy my Graffiti Artwork from under the local train bridge Road closed lane end. 😁👍
I’m a Yorkshire lad, born here n lived here my whole life, with a very broad Yorkshire accent- and seeing people (specifically American’s) being absolutely dumbfounded by our accent is so fuckin funny.
I would probably blame the vikings for the way we speak in Yorkshire. Most of us still use old Norse words still. I worked with a Norwegian woman and she was amazed how much norse we speak.

Great idea - he's still loved around the world. It's amazing how his lyrics seem to resonate with people around the world but are typically British.
I think they got less typically British with every album. The first alb was really lovely though. Only northerners would know what mardy meant.
