As someone from Birmingham, I have to say she's doing a better job of impersonating the cast than of a real Brummie!
Can u share a video on how the brummie accent is in reality??? I m eager to compare it with the show's accent....
she is a brummie, awride ?
That's because she is from Birmingham as far as I know
I'm from Birmingham to
Well I must say Cillian Murphy truly nailed the Birmingham accent, considering the fact he is Irish.
Tommy : “POLLAYY”
🤣🤣🤣
Foc Linduh HAHAHAHAHA
R.I.P
Sad.. Polly dead.. i miss her
Does anyone know in what season & episode that scene was?
So basically Brummie accent is a badass version of English accent
@YouAintFromEndz why is it so? I also heard people tend to hide it when they go out of Birmingham looking for jobs or study as if they’re ashamed, why shouldn’t be proud of how they speak
@YouAintFromEndz your deffo some posh yute from london
It is. That area period. I live they way Scary Spice talks.
@@Alghamdiim It happens to be unintelligent sounding
It's the reason why people doesn't understand Ozzy Osbourne lol
Incredible! I can't even imagine how much work was done behind the scenes. So much charismatic playing! Bravo!
I found your channel by accident and browsed for a bit. My family is from England in the 20s! I’m so captivated by your site. But I came to say what an EXCELLENT teacher you are!! Bravo.
Your "alright" is so Tommy Shelby..
And this is the best explanation of birmingham accent I've found so far. So thorough
Hi, i learn English and i never understood phrases like " so far" ,can you explain it to me?
@@user-qk8tr5gr7h "so far" means "up to that time". so when I said "this is the best explanation so far", it means up to the time i said it, no other video gave better explanation.
@@ardiroring1886Thank you!
You mean "oroit", roit?)))
Yeah, agreed, best explanation ever
@@dmytroburyak8786 🤣 Roit 👍🏼. If only she could somehow star in peaky blinders 🤣
I love her confidence 😂 she so serious
I like how she gets in character when she’s speaking in the accent. Don’t mess with her when she’s talking in the loc
As a German speaker, I often despair of English spelling, which only gives you approximate hints on how to pronounce something. The Birmingham dialect seems to be clearer, and the vowels are also closer to German, as I note with amazement.
I despair of the German language for being so shit
As a speaker of both german and english ( and swedish ), as i lived for 10 years in Brum ( Shard End, not far from Small heath ). The Brummie way of pronouncing vowels are much closer to how we do it in the rest of the germanic language countries.
For me first issue is to learn English 😂
😂😂😂
Moj kardiya sardaar😂🔥
right. Every non native speaker issue 😂
whole video i just saw girl reactions , didnt understand anything
Ha na bro 😭😂
I love how she transforms her vocal tone when she is explaining anything in Birmingham accent. She is talking like a normal person when she speaks in RP but the moment she switches into Birmingham accent she suddenly turns into a SHELBY😂
"like a normal person" LMFAO
RP normal?
Trouble is Bikram Singh, the so called Shelby's are IRISH and what they speak in Peaky Blinders is an Irish Accent. They do not speak in a Birmingham accent, take it from a true born and bread Brummie.
@@peterwilliamallen1063 not even. It’s just most the actors didn’t do the Brummie accent that well.
I think this is great but where do you actually come from? I say the flat 'a' in South Staffirdshire. Some Brummies say a very long "'ad a barth" and "the gardin' parth". I've never worked out the geography of it.
As a native Spanish speaker, I find this accent more coherent with the spelling of vowels than RP.
Just found this channel and love it. Brilliant lesson on Birmingham accent.
Other people :- Guns....
Tommy :- Goons. 😂❤️
🤣😂
Everyone: money
Peaky Blinders: muney
Goons with goons(guns) 🤣

@@vinnigontinni7719 boomps 😂😂
the fact that cillian is from ireland and he's master it all
a lot of practice moy friend
American too. I thought he was actually American 😂
In fairness your average Dublin chav doesn't sound very different 😂
Oh my goodness!!!! I'm so happy that i speak in this accent nowadays thanks to you my amazing teacher just keep giving us phonetic features about it
I believe this accent to be very comfy for native Spanish speakers, you roll the rs like us, you pronounce the U more or less like us, you pronounce the A exactly like us as well as the I.
This is the closest to spanish that you can get in an english accent.
And german
@Fabry 2512 Kind of. If I am right, you use a ‘tap’ for the letter -r- in many of your Castillian words.
The thing is many of the vocals in this accent are spoken like in german :)
Very strange interpretation of a Birmingham, and indeed English, accent.
I often get asked if im austrailian!
When examples are mostly Arthur fooikin Shelby
Thank you so much for doing this video, you’re amazing and sound literally just like Tommy
Luv this video! Never been to the UK, but have just realised that I love the Brummie accent!
The Legend says that even this lady needed subtitles to understand Arthur's accent
XD i am from Poland and only when Arthur is on screen i have to look at subtitles 😁 such fun ❤️
@@PawelTypiak You haven't heard Ozzy Osbourne 😅
I'll say it only once: I expect this bird on the next season of Peaky Blinders.
that "bird" is so cockney

While since I`ve visited the fine folk of Liverpuool(sic), do they pronounce it beard?:
Amaaaaazing😍😍😍😍it was such a cool video . I really enjoyed it. In love with peaky blinders and Birmingham accent 😁
this was a very fun and amusing way to learn my fav accent. as a south londoner, it was quite hard to learn this but i am pleased to say im happy with the result!!
I'm a Brummie, but haven't lived there for over fifty years. Watching this I noticed I still sound a lot like my foredays even though the people I know say I don't have a Brummie accent. I know I still do, and a weekend visit to my sister really brings it out.
she was literally talking in Birmingham accent while teaching Birmingham accent the whole time
Love it, love this series, it’s Birmingham, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest! Led Zeppelin’s Plant and Bonham! Dorian Yates! And I loved Peaky Blinders!
When I was staying at Wrightington Medical Center where Sir Charnley developed his famous surgical procedures and devices and my friend and I went over to Wigan and met some girls. We could not understand one word they said their Wigan accent was so different. I am from USA and my friend is from Birmingham but literally could not understand them. They could understand us so we had a fun dinner together but it was a real experienced. Thanks for your videos. They are both fun and educational.
"I'll say it only wunce". I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining but very informative clip. Loved it.
Sin saber mucho de inglés, entendí todo el vídeo. Gran profe!! Me encantó. Soy muy fan de la serie y este video me ayuda a entender más ese acento particular que noté sin saber las diferencias, solo de oído. Tu vídeo hizo que ahora conociera la fonética de esa particularidad que notaba en el hablar de los actores de la serie ya que la vi siempre en idioma original. Celebro haberte encontrado
Wow... It's close to old english Saxon speech.... For me as a German it's sound very familiar.... Indeed we are Anglo-Saxons and Saxons.... I would say the closest ties in Europe... English and Germans are family... Let's stick together..... 🏴🇩🇪❤️✌️
I know it's kinda silly, but, I've been feeling quite comfortable with this accent.
I learned American-English when I was a child, and to about the age of 8 no-one noticed I was a foreigner; then as time passed by I lost my edge because of the lack of practice, and when someone called out the flaws in my accent it hit hard.
So now, I find it easier to hide my accent behind this thick one, and the slight r-rolling is really fluid in casual conversations!
Teaching slowly.... now that's another story....
this is amazing, thank you! I write a character with a Brummie accent and your video helps me understand her nuances.
DANG! It sounded so freakin smooth! Ya nailed it and Ima subscribed ;)
I could listen this beautiful English swan for days. a perfect tutor with a soothing voice and incredible knowledge. Subbed!
I'm actually from Birmingham, England & i think this video is hilarious 😂.
I'm not offended by this at all.
In fact i think this is brilliant.
I was born & raised in the West Midlands County of England for 43 years since birth.
This woman is not only very funny but she is actually quite attractive as well.
We need more people like her in Brum as us Brummies would say.
Brum is a nickname for Birmingham.
Residents of Birmingham (or Brum) are called Brummies.
Another Brummie here and I agree,
I'm from Hall Green and what is she talking about? Sounds like Wolverhampton
My family’s from the same region, just 17 miles south of Birmingham.
You're amazing I love your English lessons. You're a quite humored lady.
I ve just discovered this video and its dammn wonderful. Well Iam excited for the next debate in my English class xD
This is bloody well brilliant! From a brummie living in Ireland. No one can ever understand me 😂
I thought the Irish understood fellow shithole comrades.
thank u for such an awesome and useful video! now i finally can better understand the speech of peaky blinders’ characters!!
By order of Peaky Blinders.
You're hilarious 😅 I'm Australian, and I've always thought our accent sits between Cockney and RP - but watching this video, I hear echoes of the way we pronounce the a, i and o vowels.
I’m from near brum and have a bit of a brum morning accent I visited Florida and they kept asking me if I was Australian
I hear it too as an Aussie! Sometimes it also sounds Afrikaans with the Rrrs too.
@@sowo1987 Yes! Definitely 😊
I'd say it's more between American and British RP
@@arkiu-himikoi that's how I describe the Aussie accent
I'm not really learning much but i can say this is very interesting and entertaining, you are so good
So flawless and fun as usual dear teacher.
The use of the vowel "u" just blow my mind.
Greatings for Argentina.
Keep going like that.
😎
aguante Argentina wuacho, vamo boca lmao
@@grindelwald5496 un saludo millonario querida Vale....😎😅.
Soy de River.
Igual todo joya...no importa que tu club y el mio se odien a muerte jajaja.

May you live long and teach us more accents M'lady. ❤️
Your videos are exceptionally well done, as is the content.
I really love a trio from UK. They talk simple english, everybody can understand well what were they saying. Jeremy James & Richard
Oh, my! What a great job! It motivates even more to learn Engkish and dive deeply into it! Thanks for the amazibg performance!!! I'm gonna warch this many times!👏👏👏🙏🥰
Lived 7 months in Birmingham during my studies. I can understand brummie. Took me only 2 months. It gets really funny when I need to translate for people who speak English as well or better than me 😂
Simple yet perfect 😂🔥
I rewatch this video every once in a while. Good job! Thanks!!!!!
Even the r's are almost equal to the sound in Spanish. That's amazing!
She's such a good teacher! Funny... And beautiful!
A great explanation. I left Brum in 1965 to go to Uni, as they say now. I was last back home in 2004 and went to the place where I learnt to drink beer. I couldn't understand a word a guy said to me. Strange as I was brought up on a council estate. I have been told that when I become agitated the Brummie comes out of my mouth.!
It was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 always been a big fan of the accent of Peaky Blinders 🔥💙💙💙💙
Раньше я думал ,что у меня ужасное произношение английских слов,но теперь спокоен, оказывается у меня Бермингемский акцент 😅😅
Xexe
Love how the pitch drops some octaves for the accent xD it's the same in my language German when I speak Saxon dialect instead of standard
Ive never watched the drama yet. However Im interested in it lol. You explain interestingly so I subscribe you. I hope I can watch more videos in your channel.
thank you for making this, I needed this for character in a TTRPG I am playing in.
I've been watching the Peaky Blinders for some time. Started to understand the accent😆 thank you for the video🙏
Well then you know how to understand Irish then, because they do not talk like Brummies in Peaky Blinders.
I wrote an esset thanks to your video. The best explanation in the whole youtube. Thanks
She is amazing. Thank you 💕
You have smashed teaching Brummie Accent!!! Awesome
Thank you very much, I wish your channel existed when I first came to UK.
I'm from the black country and ive noticed that the main difference is that a lot of ppl with the brummy accent have a much deeper sounding voice while back country accent is a little higher and sing songy
This is just bostin!
Everything is spot on! I’m from the ‘posh end’ of the conurbation but I can _still_ hear myself uttering some of those pronunciations.
Ta ta a bit.
@Gísiu Perhaps not. 🤔😂😉
@Gísiu This is a form of Middle English, which is why it's distinct from Modern English.
Funny and enlightening. Wish there were a million like buttons, I'd click 'em all! Funny how I wrote that with a Brummie accent in my mind 😂🤣
Whenever I'm learning this lesson from ya i ain't Afraid of speaking English coz if i got stuck Muna use this great and amazing lesson
I m polish living in West midlands i looove the accent here and I guess I acquired it accidentally 😃 everyone thinks im brumi🤣 and I looooooove peaky blinders 💖🖤🖤🖤🖤 oiroight mate! Nice one, taraaa!

Thanks for the video. I learned English and now I gonna learn this accent couse It's sounds funny ( and kinda cool?). You're the Best!
Birmingham/Black Country accent is the best accent of the land. Yes I know they are slightly different and people will get offended but they are very close...Class accent.
Thank you x
This is brilliant. Love the accent!
This was not only educational but really entertaining! Great vid :))
The Birmingham vowels sound like our vowels in brazilian portuguese. Specially the "i" and the "u".
That's very interesting.
Thanks for the video! Cheers from Brasil :)
Same in Spanish
I have watched this video over and over again just to listen to the BRUMMIE ACCENT ahhh I'm absolutely in love with this accent and Peaky Blinders (even though I'm not a native English speaker and I find it very difficult to understand the show without subtitles)
If you can understand Irish, you will understand Peaky Blinders, as the characters in peaky blinders do not speak in a Brummie accent, they speak with an Irish Accent, take it from a Brummie who thinks peaky Blinders is just a joke and it is not even filmed in Birmingham.
@@peterwilliamallen1063How did you expect them to film it in Birmingham? The Birmingham depicted in the show was completely destroyed and/or built over. Of course they had to film elsewhere, it's not exactly realistic to build half a city in sets.
Best example of a Brummie accent I’ve seen. She doesn’t stray into Black Country but makes it really clear. Well done. Bostin ar kid!
It seems like you have come through time machine from medieval era. Very beautifully described you are very beautiful ❤️ with very effective teaching skills.
This is so good. Entertaining and very helpful
Im watching this video smiling cause im really enjoying to learn the birmingham accent.
Liked the video
Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
org mana der?
That was actually really fun to do with her. Can't stop now 🤣
Excellent video! Now I understand dialogs in the series better! From what episodes of Peaky Blinders are these fragments? In want to use them in my university project to present this English variety)
I learnt my Beerming'm from Amy Turtle in Crossroads, and went on to pick up enough Dud-lay to be understood there. It was good to see it all set out, thank you.
The best explanation
This is fantastic. Thank you a much!!!!
I'm from Brazil and I'm in love with brummie accent❤ This video is perfect 😂
Hahah even the face expressions are suddenly tougher when she explains the differences the sound A,U etc! Great video
" me boss gave me a rise" instead of raise.. the sun rise..you see. I was born in Swansea moved to Manchester when I was 5 then at 20 I moved to NYC. Brooklyn. Im 46 now so me accent is all mixed up..lol..it's fun to watch these videos.
I have a fairly weak Birmingham accent but it's there, my sister as a stronger one. Despite never living too far apart from each other or leaving the city. Most people I know, including myself, drop a lot of the t's at the end or middle of the words. So not just soft t's, but pretty much not there. I dunno inconsistent t's.
I remember visiting New York City a few years ago and the first bar we walk into, I talk to the bar tender and the guy sitting there turns around to us and asks if we were from Birmingham. From my accent a lot of fellow Brummies can't detect much. Turns out he has family from Coventry and he occasionally visits these cities.
You nailed it very good and simplified learning
Thanx Mrs Tommy for teaching me this accent ☺️
Es curioso como este acento se asemeja a la forma que tenemos los latinos al pronunciar el inglés. El but con la u pronunciada, el fit con la i acentuada, la h muda, la manía mexicana de sobre-acentuar el "sh" o "tsh", el ocultar la r en palabras antes de un consonante se conoce desde que se habla el inglés británico. En fin, por su pollo que voy a adoptar este acento si la manera de hablarlo suena muy parecido al español-alemán
This is my favourite English accent! I'm crazy about that! By order of the Peaky Blinders this is awesome! 😎
Well then you are crazy about the Irish Accent then.
Thanks, luv i’!! Very well explained. Next project: then off to Manchester and Liverpool.
Hi Laura! Your Bru(o)mmie accent was amazing because you lesson had taken me to Birmingham.
Thanks & regards.
This is similar to the Yorkshire (Doncaster-Leeds) accent that I hear David Lloyd speaking on television.
