"English speakers mock American pronunciation for 11 minutes straight"
It's not mocking it's the truth, American language or American English is fake
Thats because there is British English and wrong.
@@sahhull what are you saying , speak English , not American loool , if you can read proper English
@@najibtastic3597 You do know that modern "American" english historically is actually closer to the origins of the language then modern "British" english is right? Ask any historical linguist, Americans didn't change their accent when the US was founded, the British did because sounding posh became more desirable. Basically the modern American accent is the British accent from 300 years ago.
@@najibtastic3597 Except that if you follow the rules of English the pronunciation in America would be more correct on multiple words shown in this video. And lets get A Louisiannan in there and see every one get confused.
"The UK has influenced so many countries" "Hello. It wasn't much of a choice" LOL !
Liiike😂😂😂😂
Nah man UK just be like colonize almost everything and they force-feed them with the English language.
Edit: BWI'ISH
HECTIC TM actually they colonise
😂😂😂
@@NorthCamZ mhm
Today I learned that most other countries feel like Americans pronounce everything wrong. Wow 😳
One person can't speak for a whole nation. Not all british, aussies and south africans make fun of americans the way these guys did. And this is just a video, don't take it too seriously. They were probably just messing around... I hope. It'd be stupid if they weren't. Even in their own countries they have different regions with different pronunciations, it's absurd to discuss which one is right and wrong
@@danielduarte6802 Nah tht South African lady was spot on , she even gave 2 ways we pronounce things
@@tamiavanneil8140
No, not that, I was talking about their opinions about the american pronunciation
The thing is America has tons and tons of accents so it could vary but overall
The american accent in this video is pretty common
Because u can’t hahahahah you even had to change the spelling of English words to fit your accent
Chantelle you made us proud girl 🇿🇦
How
'Want ons is Patriots' (Afrikaans/English) Because we are patriots. I agree Carey: You should watch more of these videos she always gives such insightful answers.
She is European
@@cobra12353 And? a lot of people from south Africa are Europeans, there are even some places when there are more British people than natives
@@cobra12353 She is South African, when people live somewhere for more than 100 years, they become locals.
This is just a video about how long ago your country was British.
facts this is it right here
1,920 years - Sápmi
Colonized, really, not British. Same thing.
Thank you 🙌🏼
Depending on how you count it 113 or 78 years ago
@@lategamer6684 what country is that?
Title should have been "American getting bullied for ten minutes"
welcome to the internet
WagaWaffles LOL
Agree
I think that's why I have difficulty following yank conversation, they are so different.
😂
* The UK has influenced many countries.*
* Hello, It wasn't much of a choice* hhahhahha I die. 😂
Based Brits.
As I korean that lives in South Africa this is the first time I could relate so much to something.
90% of this video was John saying something and then the other three gasp and clutch their pearls
Makes me wish John was southern
@@MrJamiesilaban why? so he can frighten them ever more? 😂
You need a Canadian on the panel to make John feel better lol
Canadians would pronounce most of the words the same as an American, as long as they spoke with a standard accent, but we pronounce Pecan like Australians do; Vase is pronounced as Vayz, it rhymes with phase; we say Zed for the letter rather than Zee; and we pronounce Pasta like the English do.
And also a New Zealander 🇳🇿 would be nice, it’s similar to Australia but it has some differences too.
@@hoathanatos6179 Canadians have varied pronunciations for many of these words. It depends on what part of the country you're from or what country of origin your family is from. Quite honestly, the same can be said for the US where there are 6 or 7 very distinct regions that have their own pronunciations.
♥
I agree
“i’m an ameriCAN not an ameriCAN’T” lmaooo
I was so anticipating you giving them the word " aluminium". LoL!
And garage too
Chantelle don’t be hard on yourself you are representing SA well and on point with SA English 👍🏽🇿🇦
I really love how respectful she is tho but she's doing a good job 😂
Fr she pretty much said everything the way I would except for vitamin.
Yeah I’m South African but didn’t grow up there. But everything she said was pre much how my parents would say it. Plus I live in a pretty South African area (perth, aus) and I feel like she’s representing SA well considering how long she’s been gone
Thank you very much!🇿🇦 It’s not easy haha! We all speak so differently in our lovely South Africa.
When I saw SA I thought of South Australia
America: *Breathes*
Everyone else: 😱😱😱😱
Lmao
Right they need to chill+ at the end of the day they sound best!!
@@coolroyal4732 really only Americans will think so
@@coolroyal4732 spoken like a true American
Also not a language
Oh my gosh, Canadian English has such a mix of almost all of these. I've heard almost all of them in regular conversations
Same, I kept thinking "I've heard all of those pronunciations in just my local area" 😆
Indians too
The “leisure” one hurt my head. “You make it sound French!” Oh really, the word with French origins? You don’t say lol.
Like garage.
You pronounce "Coupé" as "coop", that word even has a fucking accent on it...
Im aussie and literally everything the aussie guy is saying is relatable like wtf is a pecan pie
Same, I think I’ve seen a pecan pie in Australia maybe once in my life
So you don't even have the nuts, pecans, in Australia? If so, it's just a pie made with pecans. It isn't that difficult the understand.
@@stevez.6805 even i from australia didn't know what a pecan pie was, probs the fact that i didnt know what a pecan was or haven't seen a pecan pie ever before
Soft, thumbprint-like nuts baked in PURE SUGARY SYRUPY GOODNESS
Except I've never heard anyone pronounce auntie as "an-ti"?
You need an Irish and a Scottish person that you’ll be fun.
we still wouldnt know what they were saying ,
Yeah they should
a Glaswegian, a Jamaican, someone from Cork, and a Singaporean. That should put some more variety in it.
Scottland land Ireland speak British English wich should be just English because it our invention so were right
@@simonsweeney4804 ireland does not sound like english or Scotland
Every time The American guy said he is lonely, I felt that an Indian guy must be there to support him, cause I can relate most words to an American accent!
Duh I am an Indian and can't relate what you saying 😃
It's from years of trying to convince Americans your names are James or John and you work for Amazon Refund Department.
i’m polish and here we learn mostly british english but surprisingly i think we would pronounce a lot of things the american way
it’s really interesting actually
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

English guy: I'm not from the posh side of england
Me living in the uk: yes yes you are
Agreed mate, sounds nothing like the people I know in south London!
You do the same video with 10 people from the UK and different social backgrounds and get wildly different results.
London, Cornwall, Birmingham, Liverpool, Yorkshire, Newcastle etc. And my home accent Hull
Kindly inform me about what the "posh side" of England is?
Hara Lingayan rich areas! I’m northern so my accent sounds massively different to his
@@gracex5826 - So is the UK lad's accent in the video considered "posh"?... and by the way what do you think of "posh" American accent?
ruclips.net/video/JL_nOt-3xec/видео.html
Here are some other words you might try - "schedule", "lieutenant", "oregano", and "aluminum".
😊ALU- ME- NEYAM
LOOT-ERNENT
In Britain, its aluminium
This just shows what happens when you leave home earlier than your siblings.
I'm American, and I don't pronounce some of these words like John does. The U.S. is enormous, so pronunciations vary tremendously throughout each region.
Same for the Aussie bloke, he definitely sounded like he's from an urban area and is at least middle class, nothing like poorer or more rural Australians.
yh same in the uk. i think every 15 or 50 miles theres a new accent
@@anon8740 Yeah he was adopted by a white middle-class family.
@1993DJC lol what? Nah man most people use a d instead of a t, not just bogans.
@@xxxskinny.tingxxx9647 UK is like a hyper-concentrated version of this concept, it's nuts. Except for some urban areas in the Northeast (Boston, for example), you have to drive for a day or more before the accent really changes in the US.
I just keep thinking about how interesting someone with a southern American accent would have been in this. 😂😂
I know right? But darn tootin they ain't got no time for that...
Especially with "pecan pie." I can't imagine the reaction they would have had to "Pee-can pie"
Here I am girl....
@@TheMacC117 haha love southern accent. I went to school in Kentucky👍🏿💜
Plus, consider that there are many different Southern accents. Almost all Black southerners say AUNT using the British pronunciation.
Me being born in Australia, moved to London when i was 10 and having my parents talk to my in a western aus accent 24/7
I'm Latinamerican and this was both fun and highly helpful to watch🤣
Chantelle: Hello! It wasn't much of a choice
Walter: Exactly
Sam: OH NO
Me: **Laughs in Indian Accent**
Best comment 😂😂😂😂
F
F
Omg I'm dead 😂
Okay "you don't even have zebras you have to say it how we say it" go look up the Afrikaans word for zebra, they say seebruh, not sehbruh
@@srboromir452 What is an indigenous southern African word for that animal?
You need a Kiwi, so that everyone can mock their vowels.
oh yes as an aussie, all we do is mock the kiwi accent
Eleanor Dae as a kiwi, I can confirm we mock yours too
Hahahah yet but if we did that the only ones able to tel us apart are other kiwis or auzzies
@@meganmills5412 I'm American. Kiwis are very distinct in using vowels in ways unlike other Anglophones.
Wouldn't have made much of a difference, the accent sits somewhere between Aussie and South African.
4:25 I don’t know why but Sam saying “banana” in the American accent was just the best thing
"I'm an american, not an american't" LMFAO
Lol
“In this episode I feel like America is going to be very alone” well said, well said
Very sad times. very sad indeed.

America needs a southern person up there as well. That would be interesting. Like from alabama southern
BRUH YESSS !!! Aint there was a bartender that had a thick southern accent
edit: he works at retro game bar in seoul
nah you need a kiwi moreso than a southern american person
Also someone from maybe Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, India..
Well then we'll also need Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish... and also all representation from each accent across the UK. Newcastle, Liverpool, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Birmingham - LETS GO.
It would be fun to bring someone in with a southern accent and then someone with a New York or Boston accent since those I feel are on the complete opposite ends of the American accent spectrum
As Italian the "pasta" pronunciation of South Africa is perfect
@@ailiz7 A 100% Italian, You can think what you want
We speak high quality English in South Africa
I love these videos so much more over other pronunciation videos because it feels so organic and you can see that they're all people, just comparing how they each say it, mocking and joking with each other. I love the energy so much, you just don't get it in other videos because they're not all in a room together

South Africa says America makes 'leisure' sound French
uh, it is French
It's like when my English teacher told me to stop making the word "garage" sound french with my g'-RAH-j and pronounce it "correctly" like GAE-ridge. This notion that proper English should sound like British and insisting on British pronunciation and grammar when teaching little kids should really stop. There are much more people speaking the US English, and to be honest, US English feels and sounds more natural and relaxed while the UK and similar pronunciation feel tense and unnatural, like you're putting too much effort into the simple act of talking.
@@radunMARSHAL ga-ridge is British pronunciation, ga-rahj isn't..?
Exactly. There's an "i" in it
Jason A. I thought the same thing. It is a French word.
The French is loisir, pronounced lwazeer. None of the English pronunciations are remotely close to it so I wouldn't get too hung up on the original ;)
I’m glad John didn’t say anything about Americans saying “naners” when it came to bananas cause they would have roasted us even harder lmao
No America I know says naners and I live in Florida lmao

singaporeaans are usually influenced by british english but when we are in a casual conversation we would use a lot of american english but honestly it’s kinda mixed... both british and american... and the end result would be singlish✌️

so u guys switch the pronounciation from british to american? interesting

"You make it sound French!"
Yeah, cause it is.
Lol, I'm french, and it's absolutly not pronounced/written like that : in french it's "loisir" \lwa.ziʁ\. "Leisure" is english, even if it has french roots.
@@lucicahuette Good to know; thx
"loisir" is the modern form of it. But the original word wich was borrowed from french is "leisir" but it is not used anymore.
@@lucicahuette it did sound French like " les genres" for example
such a cool fun video ! just loved it!
In Germany the first few years of learning English we learn the Uk pronunciation and then the US pronunciation (at least at my school) and I’m slowly realizing how much this messed with my pronunciation...
Not only at your school. First you learn the clearer, more understandable version of English and later the variants in German schools.
👌🇿🇦 South African english is loyal to 'English'...
We basically speak British English so yeah.
Yeah 😂😂just a few changes here and there but it's basically the same 😂
S'tru.
TheLegend 37 shame on you
@TheLegend 37 We have black people, white people, brown people, Indian people, and Asian people. That's why we're called the rainbow nation.
Ireland actually has more in common with the American pronunciation than UK.
It depends on the region these days. In the 1800s the US still retained the notable accents of Irish and Scottish, but this faded by the '40s. You can still hear it very much in places like North Michigan and parts of Maine however.
Maybe thats where america got its pronunciation because of all the irish immigrants.
@@benjaminharrisongray9079
I'm not sure about this because places where huge numbers of Irish immigrants migrated and stayed, like Boston, don't really sound much like Michigan or any Midwestern areas. Then again, cities on the east coast were still being influenced by people in England for a longer time due to both trade and observance of European fashion and trends. Some linguist wrote a book about Anerican accents, and noted that at the time if the Revolutionary War, residents from Savannah, Georgia would have sounded just like residents of New York City.
I just recently read an article about some British politician being criticized for calling her mother "mom" rather than "mum". Apparently mom is still used in certain areas of England.
I think it’s more that there is so much American TV here in Ireland. British tend to have a more elongated often posh sounding pronounciation while in Ireland we often don’t pronounce all the letters. In the area I grew up the local accent changes th to d - so mother is often pronounced like mudder
Uk influences a lot of countries “It wasn’t much of a choice”. “Oh no...” LMFAOOO
Thanks for this video. It's really fun.
As a non-native English speaker, I think I'm going to utterly confused 😂😂
for an Australian accent the key is to only pronounce the letter r if they are at a start of a sentence and the letter 't' is actually a 'd' for example: water is pronounced wahda and car is pronounced caah
Hhhh same m going crazy here
You can't go wrong with RP english (received pronunciation english). if you study and practice that form of english, all english speakers will understand you.
@@_undefined1744 yes and don't add letters where there isn't one like the American doe's in "Leeisure" and "Vayse"
Learn British English good sir!
Funfact American English, (specifically New England English and ‘Tri-State’ English) is actually closer to how English was spoken in 1700s. Around the 1850s or so iirc the English nobility essentially invented the posh accent to distinguish themselves from the peasantry and then the peasants started copying them.
Oh man, I love a linguist
So that's why most Americans don't like New England...
so true. the grandmother of my mom's friend was taught "the Queen's English" in the 30s on long island. new york accents have some of the same features as british english like r-dropping, the coffee vowel in a lot of words, etc. but for a while now, the rest of america has viewed the NY accent as unintelligent so it becomes less prevalent with each generation in New York.
S. Zupan we don’t like New England because there’s nothing to do there except go to Boston who wants to live in Maine or Vermont
Soo... How about cockney accent? Is it like invented after posh accent?
Lol! I love this video. I’m American as well and I never really realized how different our accents are than other English speaking countries. Not to mention the US has so many different accents too lol.
How dare you do “tomato” but not “potato”! The argument on how to pronounce “tomato” ends when the rest of them say “potato”.
You are so right
Not when you're taught phonics in primary school and learn why those two words are supposed to sound different.
So, I'm African American and we say Auntie very often! It's like a term of endearment! 😍 It's also pretty prevalent in the south as well. :)
In south africa we would say aunty more than aunt. But we also call older non relatives aunty and uncle aswell (in all our cultures).
Southerners say it also
In India it would be something else lololol
I almost dropped my phone when I heard how John pronounces "Leisure". 😂😂😭
🇿🇦
I had the same reaction when I heard the rest of them pronounce it. Sounds like ledger.
I’m from South Africa and I pronounce it the American way 😂😂
@@santanavanrooyen1679 you're not loyal 😂😂😂
Why? How else would you pronounce "Lei?"
@@lovablecharacter8167 Right?! Which is a completely different word at least in america so i would be so confused on that one.

Wonderful bunch of people! There’s a lot of love in that room!!
Aw Walter singing was so cute
Meanwhile, me an Indian: YOU ARE MISSING THE SPICY INDIAN WAY OF SAYING ITTT!
are indian accents close to the way that british/english accents sound kind of 😅❤️tbh your way is acc kind of better than ours
Brit - tom- ah -toe
Amer - tamaeto
Indian - tamater
brit- tom- ah- toe
😅
Indians just take the basic brit pronunciation, remove the posh factor from the word and add an Indian Magic Masala twist to it. There you have it. The perfect Indian accent!
Great video! How interesting it would be to hear different variants of the accents too, like maybe a Northern British accent, and maybe like an Australian from Queensland. Imagine how different they would sound from each other!
As someone who was born in South Africa, moved to Australia when they were 9, watches a lot of American RUclipsr and obsesses over British bands, I find these videos very interesting
Every time someone tries to argue me about my "American" accent, I find it to be the most pointless conversation on earth to have. That along with driving on the "wrong side," or not using the Metric system. No matter where you live, what you have in your country has been used for centuries at this point and it's pretty permanent. The systems of pronunciation aren't going to change for any country so what one is arguing is that you think for some reason, your style of speech and pronunciation are right, however, the basis of communication is that those around you can understand you. This is why even pointing at something without saying anything has meaning. There is no one in that room that wouldn't have understood shortly what the other was talking about given context clues in full sentences. So as long as those around you can understand you or you can explain and they understand you, your manner of speech is indeed, correct.
You make a good point.
The majority of countries in the world drive on the right side of the road. So if anything, the left-siders are wrong.The American accent is closer to the original English of 500 years ago than modern British English. As for the metric system, there are two types of countries: The kind that use the metric system... And the kind that landed men on the moon.
Agreed. We get used to languages, slang, pronunciations, measurements, foods, customs ETC., through persistent repetition over time, learning those rules and training our brains to find certain things normal/familiar. Everyone on this planet has an accent, even if we're so used to hearing our own that everything different sounds "weird" to our ears... but different doesn't mean "wrong." It's fun to hear this range of pronunciations for certain words used all over the world (yet usually written in the same way) because none of them are incorrect, even those outnumbered.
@@kattykleo8579 , not real reasoning , more like bragging ......
@@kattykleo8579 NASA uses the metric system since 2007 if I'm not wrong in the year.
Why did Mr. American over there not say the phrase tomato tomato (too-may-toe, too-ma-toe), cause that's a big thing here in America, or at least where i live, whenever someone says tomato, someone else usually brings up that phrase
That was quite fun to watch, thnks
I appreciate the American's energy. Also, as a language student, I love how not-on-point their justifications are.
When the US say something different:
Omg you’re weird and wrong
When the anyone else pronounces something different:
Okay so there’s some differences
Actually I'm going to say that not only is the US big enough to stand up for itself, but also that it has such a huge cultural influence on the vast majority of the English speaking (and even much of the non English speaking) world that it can afford to be taken down a few pegs every once in a while!
@@carlhartwell7978 The U.S is can but the guy representing the U.S. in the video can't. Wish he included more ways of saying these words.

The hardest thing about episodes like this is, America has many different accents and pronounces the same words very differently 😂
Yeah especially in the south verses north
So does the uk though, they got the more generic accents from both
Uk got some very different ones look up that scotish farmer accent when he talks you cant understand it
Same in South Africa. Different demographics of people and different areas will have different accents
I mean it’s the same in all of the countries shown here. All countries have different slang/pronounciation in different regions.
I laughed all through the video 😂😂 it's funny and very interesting to know the differences in pronunciation among the English speaking countries.
They totally used to show Bananas in Pajamas here in America! I completely forgot about that show. Used to watch it every morning before school 🤣🤣
Here before the rest of the South African cavalry arrive 🇿🇦
😂😂😂
Does anyone else feel like John has become like 80% cooler over the course of these videos 😂
I feel inadequately represented, they should've had an American from the north AND the south. I'm js 🤷🏻♂️
its the same w british, theres so many ‘british accents’ that its unfair to classify this one person as the only accent🤣 im from the north of england so i sound completely different to this british guy

I was also excited when I saw Zebra 😂 😂 😂. "and you don't have real zebra either so you have to say it the way we say it", that's a valid point 😂 😂
Trevor Noah said it first😘
Is this argument valid for pronouncing pecan (an American nut) by one of the several American pronunciations?
@@drmasroberts when Trevor Noah said it, as you can imagine he meant it as a joke, so you have a point there!
(being a South African, I do still cringe tho' if I hear anyone call them zeebras!).
The British also say Zebra, and I remember George Clooney saying he'll never allow his kids to say zebras instead of zeebras (his wife is British) so it's a running joke in their family as well.
California has a herd of wild zebra that were brought over once by a lunatic. They still thrive to this day. They're mean as fuck 😂
By that logic tomatoes came from America.
The south african pasta shound is like shorter and softer soundign than the rest
It is shorter. Can even sound shorter than what Chantelle said depending on culture.
It sounds like the way we say it in Dutch. :)
Also the end is with an 'ah' sound not 'pas-tuh'
This is so much fun and I know a lot more about my pronunciation.
American John is such a sport and so composed. I don't know why UK and SA over reacted. It is a basic understanding every country has a different accent. you mocked others accent, it is kind of like racism. I liked all the accents.
Bro is not like rascism
That word is very very strong
They missed one of the most classic words: aluminum
Not really...the name was changed several times from alumium, to aluminium, to aluminum. So it's not so much pronunciation as it is what was the acceptable naming convention as alumium was the first name of it in 1808.
That isn't a word. It's a typo.
Schedule should have been used though.
Always enjoy these videos. Dont ever stop!!! I 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤❤🔥🔥
Bananas in pajamas was for sure in the U.S! I had them on my converse as a child (probably around 1995)
Oh my.. since I am not in school anymore (where we learned basically only British English) my pronunciation got SO much more American because of movies and YT etc. 😅
Awww American John at 4:04 is so so sweet
How fun!!! Thanks for including South Africa--have not seen any videos that talk about how they pronounce English. Cool to have so many countries represented.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

This is so very informative. In the Philippines are English is greatly influenced by American english
No one is talking about how the British started using the well known accent British accent until the 1800s and 1900s. During the revolutionary war in America they talked just as we do now.
No. there is more than one accent in the England For example the Devon or Sunderland accents go way back to early medieval.
(They're talking about the posh/mainstream one)
This is total rubbish. Your grandparents and their parents, depending where you're from, spoke like Brits today.
"Auntie" is common in some subcultures in the US ! I call my Greek great aunts "Auntie", and quite of few of my black friends refer to their aunts as aunties. Even though the /ant/ pronunciation is more common for "aunt", when I've heard "Auntie", it's usually more like the British pronunciation.
Bring in a New Zealander, then the fun will start.
Marcus Cook Hell yeah.
Especially if you bring in a Kiwi from Southland who rolls their R's.
Lmao
Not needed
Aussie accent is the most attractive one by far
Yeah Australia first had primary influence from the UK, but in more recent years from America as well, which is why we have a bit of a mix of phrases or pronunciations or even say both ways. Each state of Australia has subtle differences in vocabulary use as well. Many person to person preferences. There's a good Wikipedia page on Australian vocabulary and phrases and their influences. But yeah I this the guy who represented Australia did an A+ job (fellow Australian :)
