What do your accent say about you? Maybe where you are from.
Lol
Nah. That can't be it
Eh?
lol
Uhhhh I was gonna comment that 😠😠
I'm disturbed by my own voice

Same.
I am also disturbed by your voice.
american : “I love the british accent”
england : “Ahh yes, the s i n g u l a r british accent”
achint kaur ikr like Scottish and London accents are not the same thing, also, there is no such thing as an “English” accent in my opinion, like an Essex and Liverpool accent sound really different to me 😂
Me and my brother have different accents because I went to a school in another part of yorkshire. It's really fun to make fun of him even though
If the average American heard a geordie speak, they wouldn’t believe it was British
There are more accents in Britain than in America lol
heather kingston 170 yh I was born in Rochdale and moved to a posher place a
when I was 11 and my brother was only 5 so he’s posh and I make fun of him and my friends 😂
" British accents are sophisticated" Clearly you haven't heard the northern British accent!

How Americans see British accents:
Good day. May we have a cuppa?

Oi blud, gimme ur stuff m8 or else I'll shank u m8. That aint lit bruv.
It's true tho... not all of us speak like the bloody queen

Look at my channel description

Look at my channel description that's so me
I am British, and I speak like your original assumption, except I don't say 'cuppa', I say 'cup of tea'. Your stereotypes are terrifyingly accurate!
I'm German I naturally speak with a pretty clear English accent. When I talk to my American friend though, I noticed that my accent becomes weaker and I tend to pronounce things with an American accent instead. My friend recently told me that I sounded like an English person trying to fake an American accent 😂
😂 😂 😂
Thats weird, lol
yeah i can relate. i find myself speaking with an american accent with my american friends because they’re speaking with an american accent as well🤷♀️
There is no American accent??

There are American accents, there are a lot of them though.

Of course, the famous "British" accent
??????
What's that supposed to mean?
What he means is that there is no "British accent". Just like the US, there are loads of different accents, from RP to cockney to Scouse to Brummie to Northern. And that's just in England! Limiting all the accents in Great Britain to the single "British" is just incorrect.
i got a pub accent m8
british accent bahhhhh im scottish and if you have been to scotland we Do NOT talk like that
+Me Me Me If you live in Scotland you have a British accent.
The British accent is sophisticated?
Clearly you've never been to the north
haha ikr I used to live in the north and they were all like 'ya reet mate waddup' and I was called posh because I have a mixed accent. xD only people who live/ visited the north of England understand.
+XxLadybirdGirlx X I have a mixed one as well and all my friends used to call me posh
When people say "British accent" outside of the UK they mean RP.
I don't see any reason to change that.

I'm from New Zealand and we have so many different accents here in our small country. And we don't say fush and chups... 🙈
I’m Polish, just like my family. My parents and I moved to England when I was 3, to Surrey (county close to London). Although I can speak Polish, I have picked up a British accent. I then moved to Staffordshire, where people say I have a “posh” accent.
I’m now learning French, and I somehow find it easier to pronounce French words, compared to the rest of my classmates.
Due to the fact that slavic languages in general have more consistent phonetics with latin languages (assuming you know Polish).
I'm British, but I think I have a real Northern accent. I don't say "alright?", I say "orrite?" or "awlroit?". It's a bit strange. 💜
at least you are native speaker lol
Can I get as much likes as possible without doing a damn thing?
No
L and gimme your ring
you can . but you may not

Yes
As a German I can agree haha.
"Th" is the worst.
For example: I love you
We say like "ei lof ju"
Or the dog killed the rabbit
"Ze doag kilt ze rrabit"
We can't pronounce the soft r as well when we say r it always sounds like a growling dog haha
2SilverEyes oke wtf ._. Bei mir 'hört ' sich das anders an ._.
Damn why did the dog kill the rabbit...😭😭
GROOT
That's very interesting. Languages are very fascinating.
I agree "Th" is the worst. I just can't pronounce it right!

new england accents are “intelligent”??? i’m from boston and i can fahkin tell you, we are not intelligent
I'm going to fake a British accent for my kid's first 12 years he's alive so I can say I have a child with a British accent.
Good luck lol. Report back in 12 years-- I want to see what happens.
By British accent do you mean a London accent? Britain has completely different accents in each region, and Scotland counts as Britain as of now so you could speak like that if you like. People outside of Britain can barely tell the difference between accents unless the listen really carefully, like, REALLY carefully, same as how I can't tell the difference between an American accent and a Canadian accent, but do I mean a Texan accent or maybe a New Yorker accent? :)
That's an extremely vague statement. We have a lot of accents in Britain.
No, do a Miranda sings accent
People refer to British as the one that sounds all posh and sophisticated. It's a stereotype that all brits talk like that.
And then you hear the Australian accents...😂

Wait... Im from Hungary and when i speak english i dont have an accent. Wierd...
Kitty Katz ok
I mean i sound like i was born in england/america when i speake english...
Kitty Katz most Americans I've met know what Hungary is... Did you mean where it something?
Lion Alesso they have a very distinct accent, I'm Hungarian but I don't have any accent. Most Hungarians do because the education of English is not of quality here, and I must say it's very entertaining to hear the way they speak when I'm Hungarian myself, knowing I don't sound "Hungarian" with my English at all. Kinda sad tho cause businessmen and these important people, idk, tend to have a really funny, bad accent
Weird you spelled weird wrong
Wait lemme do something very quick-

Lauren J z I think to most Americans the classic English accent is the posh, well enunciated and articulated way of speaking
Lauren J And he never even just said English, we're talking all four countries here. Who knows how many accents there are over England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
I mean, I think he meant in generally. But, he might mean the stereotypical ones
Theres also Rally English....
Joanne Jones He probably just meant the general posh accent. Just like when he said “American accent” there’s like 100 American accents, but I’m assuming he means the general “no accent” California-ish American accent

·APH Iggy· yea, its because i watch too much pretty little liars and a WHOLE lot of canadian shows
..ok, i was just agreeing with gabriel that it also happens to me, its not a problem or that big a deal
That thing about the "Not losing your accent after 12 yrs old even after decades of being there" thing is plain out WRONG. My mom came to america from sweden in her 30s and after 8 years her accent was completely not noticeable. (Im not saying it wasn´t there, because maybe to more keen eared people its a LITTLE noticeable). So my mom Went from Stockholm Area Swedish Accent to average american - or to be more specific; North Virginian American - accent in *under* 10 years.
hejmeli I am from the northern portion of the state of Virginia. Most of us in the Northern part of the state have a more mid Atlantic accent (Similar to Maryland, Delaware, and parts of Pennsylvania).
hejmeli I thought the same thing too since my mom is from Zimbabwe and came to US in the late 90s, but no, you just can’t detect it since you’ve been around her for so long. My teacher called my mom for the first time in grade 8 and immediately noticed it.
Hell accents can be fairly easily changed
Jc Smitto cocp9
Oa
The concept that you can't lose your accent after 12 is beyond stupid. My father was 19 when he moved to California and 28 when he went to Illinois. He went from Texan accent to the general American accent.
Hi Asap Science!
This is an interesting video. But I am curious, if one can do "impressions" of an accent and others say that it sounds genuine, is there scientific evidence for one to replicate an accent almost perfectly due to being exposed to media that contains a particular accent?
Eryn Wyckoff say I'm not a scientist 😂 but say you try to replicate an accent you can't do say British or American as there is many types but If you are sure that something like that is an accent that exists go ahead mate, but not offend anyone 😂
Yep. While I may not be a scientist, I can tell you that media can affect the accent of a person, and can help someone learn another accent. People here in my country have an American Accent when speaking English either because of Americans colonizing us (for the very old elders) or because of Social Media, Movies, News, etc. (for us youth). Also, because we're bilingual from birth, we can tell the subtle differences between most accents. Mostly in English. For example, tomato isn't just tuh-may-tow in American and tuh-mah-tow British, it's actually tuh-mAY-tō, tuh-mAH-dohw. Or at least, in the case of stereotypical American and British Accents.
Also, from experience, I've learn that it's easier to learn another accent while learning the language that accent is usually used, rather than the accent being used in your first language...
Hope this is relevant! ^^

my father is canadian/Caucasian and my mother is Japanese and I lived in both countries and when I only speak one language for a long time, my other language becomes a little hard to pronounce and the word processing becomes slower. I also forgot why I'm posting this comment while writing it
That's called a dormant language
I'm from America and I live in China. I still am nowhere near fluent in Mandarin, but I often find myself forgetting English words when I've been speaking in Chinese for most of the day. It's funny and frustrating at the same time.
And I happen to have a really standard Mandarin accent with just a tinge of a Northwestern/Tibetan accent to it.
Rickey Andres
It's all about practice. My father's first language is French, but he's been living in English areas for so long that he even sometimes struggles with _French_ if he doesn't practice.
Good reason to call his mother more though lol x)
(cool story alert) Same, my father is African-American from New York and my mother is from Japan. I was born in the US but moved to Japan when I was 5. As I was learning Japanese and becoming more fluent, my English skills became weaker due to me not speaking it as often. My mother then encouraged me to only speak to my best friend in English so we wouldn't forget the language. To this day, I still have trouble remembering a word in English and/or Japanese.
Rickey Andres My mom is Norwegian and my dad is polish. My dad was adopted by American parents and so he never learned polish and only speaks English. I know Norwegian but my mom was so young she doesn't remember her mom's talking Norwegian to her, therefore she only knows English other than languages tough in school. I know English and Norwegian but I have a very strong Norwegian accent. I am learning sign language for my niece and want to learn Polish so I can travel and see what kind of community my dad would've lived in. I also am going to go back to Norway to see the community I would've lived in. My parents are sadly divorced so obviously I have an extra way to meet people. I don't hang out with a certain type of cultures. I live meeting different types of people and learning about different cultures and societies even though sometimes with my social anxiety it can be scary.
I have a Yorkshire (British) accent
same Ey UP
Ross W no
Cool stuff. Thanks!
I was raised in a bilingual home (English and Spanish) and I can crudely translate French and some German, really strange because it feels instinctive.
Same
It's because Spanish, French and German are all Romance languages- which means they've all descended from Latin
Actually German isn't a Romance language it's a Germanic language. That being said English is similar enough to German to understand some of it.
Purple Dragon I see. Thanks for the tidbit. What are some other Germanic languages?
english, german (obviously), dutch, danish, swedish, icelandic, norwegian and faroese
The first three are considered West Germanic and the rest are North Germanic.

In my second language, I picked up the posher accent because my teachers taught us how to speak like textbooks. I can't speak with the more relaxed accent or with the laid back dialects, so I speak basically the equivalent of the Queen's English and struggle with slang. Your second language accent may partly depend on who taught you.

I'm no scientist but I believe you'd pick it up quite fast, although it would be subconsciously, you'd probably be able to understand more than you think you could.
No, unfortunately that is the same with me. I was born in America but I lived in Pakistan for 1 year and I picked up Urdu when I was 6 years old and then I went to America and I learned English. I'm 16 years old now and I can't speak Urdu correctly even if I tried.

I know that some people are scared of New Yorkers. I mean, it doesn't sound bad or anything. But, I can see how it sounds aggressive. I'm mostly surrounded by southern accents Or those neutral(I don't know what they're called) commercial accents though, so maybe it depends on what you're raised around.
I'm from England and the New York accent is the only one I can stand without wanting to rip my ears off, it actually sounds really nice
Because new yorkers are soulless shit heads
How can you say British accents and then split American accents into groups? There are loads of types of "British" accents.

I wonder if the phonemes thing is why it made it so hard to start learning French in 4th grade in Ontario schools. I've been learning Norwegian for a few years now and there are just some sounds/words that I can't wrap my head around, it all makes sense now!
Here is one,
I live in Birmingham in England, not Alabama. When I went to America and had a taxi, they say where I am from. I say Birming-hum and their response is, "Ahh Birming-ham" I always get confused but I get it just because of accents.

I moved to the US at 20 and sound like a native speaker. I could speak English before but after moving here my "foreign accent" disappeared. It's odd.
Maybe because you had been hearing the american accent in movies before you moved in?
You can actually get rid of an accent after 12, it always depends on the individual person :)
I used to live in Ireland but then I moved to Canada and my accent sort of "disappeared" as well, idk it's weird.

Well, to be fair argentinian is so distinctive it's somewhat easy to imitate. It's probably the single most distinctive accent in the american continent.

2:55 As a person who grew up in a bilingual household(I’m French and American) I can speak fluently with different accents when I speak english. Such as British, American and French since the ones around me oftentimes speak with these kind of accents.😄

MarcusofMenace stfu u bitching to trump
Mat t how am I bitching *to* trump? I was pointing out how idiotic for a youtube channel to make a non political video political
Mat t Logical Fallacy: black and white
@@MarcusofMenace, they can do whatever they want for their own video.
But I do think it is unnecessary and I wouldn't have political things in a non-political video if I made one.
american english is actually very close to what traditional english sounds like, were as british english became very weak after the revolutionary war.

What do you know, English obviously isn't your first language. Where*
You're self delusion is amusing.
Teeeechnically it's true, because early English was more rhotic and had less vowels than now
+Ebon Hawk it's actually true.
So if I speak four languages, I'm gonna have god-level whatever cortexes u talked about
I have a Brittish Accent. My Mother is Brittish and my Father from Cape Cod Hyannis Port. And I was born in New England. And I don't have a New England Accent.... It was how I was raised. And most of my friends when I went to Phillips Exeter all were from Abroad and we lived in dorms there.
As an American, I think the Scottish and Irish accents are underrated. Such beautiful dialect is overlooked as the British accent gains the center of attention. But then again, that's just my opinion. All accents are great as they signify your origin and unique self. 😊
Anyone else try very hard to read "Fuhgettaboutit"?

I was originly born in Ireland and went to England when I was 5 and at school, I picked the accent quite quick. After watching too many americancanadian shows my irish accent became candiany americany while still talking inglish at skl.
Here in England, basically every single county has its own accent! Even within counties, you can have a few different accents!
