I'm Manc born and bred so I can't understand why his brother sounds different. I'll put my next Giro on it that Liam Gallagher spent untold hours practicing his accent. He's from Burnage ffs. Not havin it. Oasis were the dog's bollocks in their early days gotta say. MCF FUCKING C OK
Nice one! If you can understand Liam Gallagher, you can understand almost anyone in English! 🙂 It's real English... they should use interviews with LG in proficiency exams 🤣
@@LHLMaE Just had a listen... fantastic accent! My sister used to live in Glasgow and I sometimes struggled to understand her friends (I'm English by the way)
And what exactly would such interviews test in proficiency exams ? 80 % of communication in English is non-native to non-native speaker, and an overwhelming majority of users of English don't give a fuck about regional British accents. They are merely linguistic curiosities of interest to a handful of hobbyists or those who may have to live in the UK for a while.
@@Freeholder74 Well... it would test the student's ability to understand a thick regional accent. But i wasn't being serious. I agree with you... non-native to non-native communication is more relevant in the modern world.
Paradossalmente l'accento di Manchester è quello più facile da parlare per un italiano perché le lettere e le parole pronunciate hanno un suono molto vicino all'italiano a differenza dell'accento di Londra più difficile da pronunciare ma più facile da capire
@@ashleybeverly3884 they were back in the 90s when there was a commercial battle fueled by the media between Blur and Oasis (Damon is also the frontman for Blur). It was a big deal in the UK. It's crazy, but after 25 years there are many people still arguing about who's the better band lol
Omg where were you in the 90s!! ( unless you were not born!) Oaisis Roll with it vs Blurs Country house.Oasis from the north……. Blur the South. I remember it well I’m a southerner but do like oasis a lot more!
I love him. He is so honest and genuine. How many people would say with a straight face they are not the most smiliest of people so it doesn't matter if they have teeth in their head. He is priceless and so witty.
That was great. I lived in Manchester quite a few years. This is by far my favourite place in the UK. Some people are more articulate than Gallagher yet they keep a strong accent. So it's possible to understand. I have to say the F word is as common up there as "innit" is in London. The nasal aspect is unmistakable. Noticed as well the northern way of saying "I was standing", "I was sitting" which is "I was stood", "I was sat". I heard for the first time people saying "I'm having me dinner" to say they were having lunch (then I heard it years later in the South West). Everywhere you go people call you "love", "flower", "sweetie". Gotta love the North!
@@hannahdyson7129 If that is so, I'm happy to misunderstand the meaning of "love". I shall never take offence at anyone calling me "love". Life's too short.
It made me laugh when you mentioned his frequent use of “you know what I mean” because as a foreigner studying English, I catch myself picking up different features as I go, depending on the people I’m listening to the most at a certain time. Louis Tomlinson tends to use this specific sentence more often than not and since I’ve been watching him for ages I’ve picked it up as well lol
Yes you are so right, Louis T does it too. I guess we all have our own verbal ticks. I've definitely got mine lols! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video Elisa : )
Eat Sleep Dream English absolutely loved it! not surprised tho, i love your channel. can’t even begin to explain how helpful and enjoyable this type of content is! such a great way to practice english while learning about the culture too. it surely makes me miss England even more😢
It's so difficult understand that guy and mostly of the Mancunians. I love that kind of exercises it's very useful to the English learners like me. Jajaja love u 👏👏👏
I am from Indonesia do appreciate you briliant idiea n great effort as well as you passion to teach the world about the real English. I do enjoy your videos. It is a great help....cheeeerrr. Mate.
Both my grandparents were born and raised in Manchester but moved to America in their mid-twenties. They still have their accents but they are definitely weaker now that they've lived most their lives in America. Other people think my grandparents' accents are strong but my sister and I feel we're so used to them we barely even notice. We've traveled to Manchester twice to visit relatives there and my family has never had any trouble understanding Mancunians but we definitely notice their accents are stronger than our grandparents. Our relatives from Manchester have noted that in their opinion, we speak slowly - we're from the Southeast of America.
The Gallagher Brothers have played a huge part in my life, they are basically a religion to me 😊 Thank you for this amazing video, I was looking forward to it all day 🤭
I had been looking forward to your video since a long days ago.once and for all,you are here.I am absolutely glad to have you today.Thanks Tom,keep teaching as we need you in no uncertain terms.
You are perfect. You have a great way to teach English I am an English teacher but still trying to have this beautiful lovely british accent. Thank you from all my heart.
Loved the exercise at the end. I've been listening heavily to interviews of both Liam and Noel over the last month, so I was surprised how much of that I understood. I'm from Vermont, USA, BTW.
I understood pretty much everything, but then - I have lived in Manchester for 3 years now :D I love a good Manny accent. Also, there's a big variety of accents within Manchester as well. You get South Manchester, which is not as strong, then towards Stockport where it get's all mixed up. North Manc, which is a lot thicker, then Bury. Bolton has got a lot of common features with South Yorkshire, and you also get Salford, and all them towards Altrincham or Warrington etc. Also! I really enjoy your videos!
Oh, man!! Thanks so much for this!!! I love his thick Manchester accent but it's so hard to get what he says! I love this! Thank you! A Shaun Ryder one would also be amazing!
I loved the exercise and as a french actress who's good at accents, i think it's a nice way to work on them and I've been learning this accent for a few days and it's quite fascinating to see the differences. Your videos are helping me a lot. I can't afford a dialect coach for the moment, so I just use my ability to copy to learn, through your videos, and films and interview.. i take notes and it helped me tremendously to get the basics on some of them i don't often hear here in France or on youtube or Netflix shows/movies.
I'm from Salford a city next to Manchester. To the untrained ;) ear its identical. What I would say is the 'Th' and the glottalisation of the 't' is something many of us are corrected whilst growing up. I often correct my daughter. It's not an attempt to be posh, my accent is thick but I guess it's easier to communicate with people from outside of the North of England (UK, Scots tend to get us). We also tend to speak quickly so those pronunciations are key otherwise some people can struggle with us. Weirdly enough my last employer sent me around Europe. Russians, Serbians, French, Romanian, Norway, Poland..... it always took the first hour to slow down and pick my words carefully. Accents fascinate me.
Interesting Ian, yeah I was always told to say my Ts 'properly' but it's tricky when you are in full flow and speaking quickly. Hope you enjoyed the video : )
I'm in the midst of a show set in Manchester and thought I'd look up Mancunian. Yours is the 2nd vid I watched and it was so much more informative than the other vid and article that I looked like. Your repetition of short segments to enable the listener to catch the features you discussed was extremely helpful. I'm now set to watch some of your other videos.
This whole video was hilarious and entertaining. I think the funniest bits were when you gave Liam his own dialect and when you took away the subtitles towards the end as a challenge to understand him 🤣🤣
I always thought Mr.Liam Gallagher would be an excellent phonetic's teacher[after our teacher Tom,of course😊😊]...honestly,no one pronounces the fricatives and plosives like him,that way of singing...so unique...Love Liam's voice...Thanks for this amazing video... Greetings from Argentina!!😀😀
I watched your video because I'm writing my PhD on Oasis' songs and needed info on Liam's Mancunian accent. you present your material professionally, have an infectious enthusiasm and edited your videos elegantly. Thanks mate! PS. Could you give me the link to that interview? Thanks!
I'm obsessed with these "learn x british accent" videos, I love them so much, I've watched Louis' video almost ten times now !! I'd love for you to do one for David Tennant's if you were willing, I'm not sure if you're an expert in scottish accents but it was worth a shot hahah
I'm a Manchester girl born and raised I loved watching you pick apart our accents 😂 I didn't need subtitles he just sounds like me 😅 you know what I mean
I didn’t need subtitles either I just thought of me nan I’d like to get in touch with the rels and I’m in Australia but I think they got estranged or something.
I enjoyed a lot the exercise! I'm Argentinian. I did understand most of the words but I wasn't able to put it in context. I guess that's because I didn't get the first thing he said: ''I don't know if we were a bit too...' Thank you so much for this content! It is a great help and also it's so fun to watch and learn.
I recently started watching Marcella on Netflix, when I heard Anna Friel speak I instantly thought she had a bit of Manchester in her accent, that I was able to get from watching your videos. I looked it up, and sure enough, she´s from Rochdale. Also Harry Styles doesn't use the "You know what I mean" phrase as LIam Gallagher does, but Harry does star a lot of his sentences with "I mean..."
Thank you for your study on Liam Gallagher's accent. I have been watching more recent videos of Noel Gallagher and it sounds like his Mancunian accent has softened a bit.
Great video. You ought to look at how Manchester accents are nuanced across the city (citeh). There's a section where they will say "chimley" instead of "chimney" and "lickle" instead of "little". There's a sort of Rochdale sound and a different Swinton/Salford sound. When you get down to the street level it's a fascinating city for its nuanced dialect and accent.
It is very interesting, especially for me, who speaks English as a second language. I love the band Oasis, so I tried to watch interviews with Liam Gallagher, if I'm 100% honest I didn't understand usually everything he said, but this video helped me to understand him more and even though his brother Noel Gallagher didn't have as a thick accent, it helped me understand him better as well.
I'm quite used to Liam and Noel talking by now but I still watch them with subtitles if I can :D but I love this accent man. I'd be happy with them reading a phone book for hours.
This is so helpful! I hadn't noticed the difference in the -er sound. I'm American but the Manchester accent is my all time favorite. I want to learn how to talk like Rob James Collier lmao
OMG I was hoping for this videoooooo It may seems hard to believe but my english really boosted when I started listening to rkid (and the other fella) interviews I definitely love them and their accent 💕 BIBLICAL
thank u very much!!! I love liam gallagher and I love his accent, I try to do it at home but ahahah you know the most of the time all I came up with is me looking at the mirror thinking about how am I weird
Eat Sleep Dream English ok now i feel better ahaha no I would like to have it!! cause I’m studying Business linguistic expert at uni and of course I’m studying english and I like this accent, don’t ask me why but it seems to me like it’s the way in which british people actually talk ahaha
"You know what I mean". We tend to ask a lot of questions we don't require answers too. "You know what" I'm pretty sure alright! Originated in Manchester too. "Wots's 'appernin' " or "wots g'warnin' loosely" loosely translated as "what is happening/going on?" Is also a popular greeting around Manchester. Not too sure if its travelled yet, but as of approximately 5 years ago my friends in Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Kent wasn't familiar with phrases. My friend who lives Cornwall, but lived in Manchester for about 7 years still says "y'know what I mean" randomly in sentences, although it might just be around us, because ive noticed anyone of any accent, who moves to a different place and forms a new accent, speaks to someone using the accent they used to own it usually pops back up. My friends from down south wasnt familiar with the term "muppet" either in the late 90's they loved it though. Adopted it like a cute orphaned puppy. So you might have me to thank for Danny Dyers "fackin mappit" version thus people believing it originated as a cockney thing. On my life no one I spoke too outside of Manchester were familiar with the term..even my friends from liverpool. Again the greeting of "alright" wasn't really known much outside of Manchester in the mid 90's.
Tom, are you able to understand perfectly everything he has said? It's very difficult for me and all Brazilians. Here, we have learned R.P. accent (neutral). But when we have to deal with strong accents, we get all lost. I imagine that when I go to the England I will cry all day. LOL
You should come to Manchester, you would love it. There’s loads of Brazilians here. Also listen to Radio Manchester, that’ll help you get used to the accent as well.
Hello Tom: Another example of Mancunian accent would be Mick Hucknall (lead singer of Simply Red, a band with a very personal style with songs like Fairground or Stars). I wish you all the best you luck and I hope to buy your book soon Carlos M.S.
I quite enjoy how you disect the various accents and regionalisms. Please keep making these videos, thank you for taking the time. I understood 70% of that last bit 😁
Without subtitles , it’s really impossible to understand him. But I can almost understand you, Tom! A year ago, I needed English subtitles but yet not.
I'm not from Manchester or from the UK at all. But my stepmom is British and we have a house in Manchester. Me, my sister and my dad visit her a couple of times per year now for 12 years straight. And when growing up I used to pick up the Mancunian accent from people around me. So now when I'm speaking English, I have quite a bit of Mancunian features in there. (I'm from the Netherlands btw) Sometimes I have to drop my accent when I'm speaking English to people from outside the UK or The Netherlands
😀😊🙏🤗 .......you know what I mean 😃 Liam...talented artist as well as his brother Noel, outstanding accent, masterful Tom. Thanks so much!! I really like the intonation of his accent (it's a kind of melody) but it's too difficult for me to understand it without subtitles 😳
Great video Tom. Learning all the little aspects of these different dialects is so interesting to me. I think it would be interesting if you would cover some members of Def Leppard. They are one of my favorite bands and they definitely have an interesting range of accents. Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, and Rick Allen are all from Sheffield (where the band was formed), Phil Collen is from London, and Vivian Campbell is from Belfast.

I know why he is always saying 'you know what I mean' because many people don't know what he's saying most of the time
🤣
No. A lot of people say that a lot.
AhhaHahaha
🤣
No its a normal thing to say up North. like at the end of any sentence we say "in it"
If I ever met him personally I will need subtitles.
😂 I'm sure that technology will be available soon!

Me, too. For sure.
So do I. 😂 😂 😂

That was great. I lived in Manchester quite a few years. This is by far my favourite place in the UK. Some people are more articulate than Gallagher yet they keep a strong accent.

I'e been binge watching your videos and now I have like 500 different accents. Thanks a lot, mate.
Ive been waiting for this video since the day I found this channel.
"You know what I mean". We tend to ask a lot of questions we don't require answers too. "You know what" I'm pretty sure alright! Originated in Manchester too.
"Wots's 'appernin' " or "wots g'warnin' loosely" loosely translated as "what is happening/going on?" Is also a popular greeting around Manchester. Not too sure if its travelled yet, but as of approximately 5 years ago my friends in Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Kent wasn't familiar with phrases. My friend who lives Cornwall, but lived in Manchester for about 7 years still says "y'know what I mean" randomly in sentences, although it might just be around us, because ive noticed anyone of any accent, who moves to a different place and forms a new accent, speaks to someone using the accent they used to own it usually pops back up.
My friends from down south wasnt familiar with the term "muppet" either in the late 90's they loved it though. Adopted it like a cute orphaned puppy. So you might have me to thank for Danny Dyers "fackin mappit" version thus people believing it originated as a cockney thing. On my life no one I spoke too outside of Manchester were familiar with the term..even my friends from liverpool. Again the greeting of "alright" wasn't really known much outside of Manchester in the mid 90's.
Loved the exercise! Thanks for your videos, they are brilliant!
Soo hepful and great structure of the video, cheers!!
This is what i luv!!
Tom, are you able to understand perfectly everything he has said? It's very difficult for me and all Brazilians. Here, we have learned R.P. accent (neutral). But when we have to deal with strong accents, we get all lost. I imagine that when I go to the England I will cry all day. LOL
You should come to Manchester, you would love it. There’s loads of Brazilians here. Also listen to Radio Manchester, that’ll help you get used to the accent as well.
I am glad to say Manchester accents are dying out ....
Só uma dica, não diga "to the England" apenas "to England"
Oh my goodness
This is the lesson i am looking for
Thank you for detail explanation ❤️
I Love it as much as i love oasis’s songs
I'm LOVING these videos
Awesome video, very well explained!
Such a beautiful accent, I love it👍
Hello Tom:
Another example of Mancunian accent would be Mick Hucknall (lead singer of Simply Red, a band with a very personal style with songs like Fairground or Stars).
I wish you all the best you luck and I hope to buy your book soon
Carlos M.S.
Literally it was quite cool , god bless you Tom ❤
loved the exercise at the end
I quite enjoy how you disect the various accents and regionalisms. Please keep making these videos, thank you for taking the time.
I understood 70% of that last bit 😁
Without subtitles , it’s really impossible to understand him. But I can almost understand you, Tom! A year ago, I needed English subtitles but yet not.
Yaaaaay I've been waiting for this video my whole life :)
I love these videos keep it up
I'm from Manchester, dunno why I'm watching this but here I am
I'm not from Manchester or from the UK at all. But my stepmom is British and we have a house in Manchester. Me, my sister and my dad visit her a couple of times per year now for 12 years straight. And when growing up I used to pick up the Mancunian accent from people around me. So now when I'm speaking English, I have quite a bit of Mancunian features in there. (I'm from the Netherlands btw) Sometimes I have to drop my accent when I'm speaking English to people from outside the UK or The Netherlands
Thank you for this video!
love this exercise and the video in general a lot
Understanding Liam's accent is the fireproof for every non native speaker (natives too lmao)
i am german and understand him perfectly haha
😀😊🙏🤗 .......you know what I mean 😃
Liam...talented artist as well as his brother Noel, outstanding accent, masterful Tom. Thanks so much!! I really like the intonation of his accent (it's a kind of melody) but it's too difficult for me to understand it without subtitles 😳
Great video Tom! Big fan of the Manchester style. Very educational, really. Couldn't ask for a more attractive tutor, too!
Al fin el video que esperaba!!
Love your videos dude
Brilliant! Sometimes I don't understand what this magic musician has been said! Marvelous!
That exercise without subtitles was really awesome. I only could catch 40-50% of what Liam actually said. 😁
Thanks. You broke it down pretty well.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Tom. Learning all the little aspects of these different dialects is so interesting to me. I think it would be interesting if you would cover some members of Def Leppard. They are one of my favorite bands and they definitely have an interesting range of accents. Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, and Rick Allen are all from Sheffield (where the band was formed), Phil Collen is from London, and Vivian Campbell is from Belfast.
