Christina is acting like she's just met a Martian, not a fellow countryman.
Omg! The Southern slang and just the Southern accent alone was pretty accurate. I'm watching this thinking "yep...yep, that sounds like me". I'd say about 90% of the slang I've heard or used daily. Southern people tend to talk either really fast or very slow. I tend to talk fast, and I have to repeat myself quite often when I speak. It's funny because when you talk, you really don't notice that you have an accent until you meet or hear someone else's accent.
How to study English knowing that there are several accents and words from different countries and even States like US 🇺🇸 ? It's best to stick with an accent, but in the end it's always a mixture of all accents.
As someone raised in Georgia, I can confirm everything Shannon said. I grew up hearing “over yonder “, “fixin to”, “no you ain’t!”, “ well bless your heart “, “Lord willing and the creek don’t rise”, “it’s just a hop, skip, and a jump away”, “How y’all doin’?”…. And SO MUCH MORE! Lol! My mom is from California and is Latina, my dad from Georgia. My accent is stronger than Shannon’s but not as strong as a lot of my friends here. Fun video! Both girls are very cool.
I really want to listen to Christina speaking with Boston's accent. Looking forward to more of this!
My Boston accent really comes out when I’m drunk 😭 but “wicked” will never leave my vocabulary even now that I moved to florida
You can have neutral newscaster American accents in all 50 states though. The fact that these two girls sound like they grew up down the street from each other and have to imitate the accents from their native states is proof of that. It's mostly people over 50 that have stronger regional accents. The younger generation have much more neutral general American accents, especially if they grew up in the suburbs, went to college and work in professional environments. You're kind of forced into that accent based on class.
This video just cracks me up!! My parents are both from Rhode Island so “orange” is pronounced “arr ange”. I grew up in Michigan but spent quite a bit of time in the south so I know the southern accents well, I feel like my English is sometimes mixed between all three accents. 😂
As a native New Yorker, I get asked to say "Forget about it" in all one word whenever I travel in the south, midwest and northwest. Now that I reside in Florida, I feel I am losing the accent a little bit. I have been told that when I get pissed off that my NY accent and attitude goes from zero to 100 in a nanosecond. I love going to Boston to see my Yankees at Fenway Park. Sadly, I have been told that the strong Boston accent is dying out due to so many students and foreigners moving in to study in the city.
I saw a meme that I guess was from the Boston area. It was a neon sign reminding drivers to use their turn signals and it said "Use yah blinkah".
This is really good video
That was a nice chat. Nice.
When I was a teenager ,I used to work at Walmart and I told some guy who was from Boston that I was "fixin to go on break.". He gave me a weird look. He didn't understand what i was saying. He was a nice guy and my friend but he had no idea what "fixing to" meant
Unfortunately regional accents are dying off. There's even Irish people from Ireland who speak in standard American English accents now.. I'm 35 and feel I'm part of the last generation to have a very thick NYC urban accent, but I can code-switch and speak in standard accent as well. I use it when I'm at work, or when I lived in Japan to talk/teach to Japanese people. When I'm around peers in casual situations, especially NYers I just let my regional accent go unfiltered. Makes me talk faster and is less stressful. Talking in standard English feels necessary but it's a lot of work and I mess up whenever I'm angry, happy or surprised. The moment something suddenly spikes my emotion the NY accent comes out on its own.
Christina is back!!!
These girls are sooo pretty🔥🔥😍😍😍
I’m happy that they haven’t lost their northern/southern roots! All the different US accents, so colourful! I notice Christina’s Boston accent, I get hints of Canadian especially when she pronounced out. It makes sense I’m guessing Massachusetts isn’t too far away from Canada.
Knowing American accents from movies, and now having them compared like this is really informative
Southern accent is just so wonderful, love it ❤️ More of that. And - I do think it’s a bit of shame that these ladies don’t stick to their lovely, wonderful accents most of the time, instead of this kind of ‘generic’ American accent. Would be lovely to listen to!
How cute is Christina 😍
