Tom, if you're not a Brummie, your pronunciations are spot on. I'm a Brummie, but I have a love-hate relationship with my accent because my dad (different accent to mine) has always mocked the way Brummies talk. I love hearing different accents and dialects.
Thanks Kirstin! I LOVE the Brummie accent. You should be proud of it! It's got such character and charm. I have a few friends in Brum and they are huge defender of the accent maybe because it often gets criticised from outsiders. I'll be honest, I could listen to Jack Grealish speak all day long. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video : )
I really enjoy how you break down the various dialects of the UK. As a US native English speaker, many of us get a “blurred” impression and you easily and (I feel anyway) accurately break down and he regional differences. The effort and time in which you invest into these videos is very evident! Thanks Bud/Mate!
As an official brummie this is pretty spot on, some was more of a black country accent as thats a stronger accent and we call them yam yams. Im very proud of my accent and most of us are 👍
Tom, love ya! You are so much fun to watch with all your enthusiasm. And you are brilliantly explaining local sound shifts in pronunciation. Thanks so much! Hello from Berlin
Ahhh so Billy Kimber speaks with a London/Cockney accent for some reason. For example he uses that schwa sound on the -er of Kimber whereas Brummie speakers might use an /æ/
I watched the entire Peaky Blinders series with closed captions on. Absolutely loved listening to these guys talk but man, I can’t understand a word they’re saying. Fookin’ right, Arthur?!
I'm from Georgia in the us and to me, this sounds to me like a mix of what we consider a common "british accent" and what we consider a "Louisiana Cajun accent".
Aye! Thanks mate, really glad you liked it. I try to do as much research as possible and I'm happy to see quite a few Brummies leaving positive comments on this video. More to come ; )
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish since moving to the states when i was 18 yrs old my accent remained the same from Bradford with influences from brummie as well except now i pick up all the California slang with a English accent 😆..
Just a note, Grealish didn’t use a rolling ‘r’ when saying favourites. The rolling r doesn’t feature as much with younger Brummies and Black Country folk.
I wish you could more of those videos where you evaluate the quality of someone’s British accent, I mean, have always been curious to know what you thinking about Nicole Kidman’s accent in The Others and Glenn Close in 101 Dalmatians 👌
Cracking series discussing the Birmingham accent ,I must say that there is a very slight difference between north and south Birmingham ie Jack Grealish and Johnny Osbourne .I think the North Birmingham accent is the authentic one .Jus'my opinion aright ?
Most beautiful Brummie accent of all times with that genuine nasal sound was Nick Rhodes accent when he was young, added to that deep and sexy voice. I love when he says " I mean uummm 😅 Now he sounds more like a Londoner, still sounds very enjoyable for me ❤
Just to confirm did Jack grow up in Brum? And also Brum is huge so the diversity of Brum accents will match this. To me saying someone has a brummie accent suggests they are all the same and they are not. Think of London the megacity how many versions of their accent do they have ?
During the pandemic i used to live in brum im originally from coventry and picked up the accent quickly whenever i visited my step dad he would always rip me for picking up the accent. 😂😂
Hey Eunice, the clue is in the name.....London! However, through social media and TV shows like Top Boy it is spreading across the country particularly in urban areas. I'll do MLE very soon!
Pls make a vid about black country accent, especially paying attention to AY as EA or EE: like Taycher =teacher, faycher=feature, spayke = speak, trayte = treat and the like.
I'm an American but this is amy parents' accent. Oddly enough, it's one of the hardest for me to identify. I think it just sounds like a regular English accent to me.
Thanks for commenting. I guess my question to you would be what is a 'regular' English accent? I'm guessing you mean received pronunciation which is actually only spoken by about 3-4% of Brits. It is the one, however, that gets the most exposure in popular culture and teaching materials. Give Peaky Blinders a watch and after the first few episodes I'm sure you'll have tuned your ear to Brummie : ) All the best from across the pond. Teacher Tom
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish no, it's just the accent I think of when I think of an English accent. Which makes sense but also makes it hard for me to distinguish. To me it's like a flat Midwest accent here in the States.
They do. They are from Sutton Coldfield, a part of Birmingham. The films make the Weasley side characters Brummie - Molly and Arthur are both also played by Brummies, and Domhnall Gleeson plays Bill with a Brummie accent.
Have you ever heard any memeber of UB 40's band speaking ? OMG!! That's very really brummie accent!!!😳 Sometimes I've got to hear them twice to understand it
I've told people for years the reason they can't understand Ozzy is 90% his accent, 8% he has a stutter, and only 2% the drugs/booze. Growing up I was a huge fan and listened to lots of interviews, and have no problem understanding the Brummie accent.
Hmm, could this have changed over the last 30 years? I’ve been listening to John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran speaking for the last 40 years. this sounds really different from how they speak. Some specifics… if they say “years” it’s Yeaaahs or “something” it’s more like “somethink”. Weird. Of course I still luv how they all say “Juran Juran”❤
I went to Birmingham this year, and it was not that difficult to understand. I can completely understand Birmingham accent well. But I got to admit that Birmingham accent is more difficult than London accent.
You're great teacher and admire your work. For some reason, I don't find the way you speak very pleasant. That is just my personal taste though. This goes to show that accents don't really matter, it's also personal. Probably 99% of your followers like the way you speak. Any accent is fine as long as it's clear. I find the Brummie accent pleasant.
Sir, what's your accent? Sir, if you tell me the name of your accent, I will commence to learn it because I like your accent in the first place and it's my first day of the video of your, watching it right now
Arthur Shelby has perhaps one of the broadest brummie/brummy accent I have ever heard does not sound too different to the actor real accent he just sounds broad in general.
This is good, but as someone from Birmingham I do get annoyed at these as well. The examples you use - Hammond, Osbourne & Grealish - are all from the same side of Birmingham; Hammond is from Northeast Brum & Ozzy & Jack from Southeast Brum. If you look at west Birmingham accents, they are very different. Northwest Birmingham goes into the Blackcountry, which we all know is something completely different, and in southwest Brum, where I am from, we sound almost more like Worcester accents. In the southwest most of us pronounce laughter as in 'larrrfter' and not 'laffter'. The bath-trip split is not as black and white as you say it is at all. You go into Harborne, or Edgbaston - both middleclass suburbs in southwest Birmingham - and NO ONE speaks like the examples you use, and many use the 'southern' bath-trap pronunciation. Whenever any 'expert' not from Birmingham, who does not have the local knowledge, tries to explain a Birmingham accent, they always do the same as you do, which is highlight one side of Birmingham!

I think Brummie is my favourite accent! I've got a friend from Birmingham, and I love to listen to him speak!
Love that!
Does he sound like Grealish?
@@kayleeng4505 pretty much, yeah.
Said no one ever

Be proud of who YOU are. 😊
Brunmie accent is rough
I think the accent is so charming, I’m insecure of my accent too but it’s actually lovely to hear variety in the voices of others 😊

Agreed! Thanks Sheila : )
Thank u mate! One of the best explanations of the accent!!! 🫡🫡
You are welcome my friend!
As a Brummie I love this video..thanks for giving it a platform 😊

Never be ashamed of where you are from.
Cheers Jamie : ) I've got a few friends in Brum and I've noticed how proud locals are of their accent. I love that! All the best : )
Well said Darren!
I subscribed ❤Thank you for this video, really learned as myself have been living UK over 20yrs as HongKonger 🎉

I Love your Brummie accent Tom

Hehehe pack your bags Eric : )

Oh for sure mate! Cockney is on the to-do list.
Tom! Appreciate the effort to create this video. ❤ It Tom
This is wonderful!!!!!! I’m an American actor trying to learn the accent. Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely loved it!!! I’d love to watch Scouse accent, I think it’s gonna be interesting 😍
Great! Now I understand where the sounds of "...I am Billy Kimber, I run the races..." come from. Thank you!
Ahhh so Billy Kimber speaks with a London/Cockney accent for some reason. For example he uses that schwa sound on the -er of Kimber whereas Brummie speakers might use an /æ/

I'm not sure if I'm right, but what I've noticed is that Scottish ppl do vice versa with the sound (ei) - (ai), they say (smeil) instead of (smail) 😅
Love it! Thank you.
Hai baibi! Sounds great 😄
It's brilliantly, smashing, cracking, so interesting ! I ❤ U.
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
Interesting accent.
Hi. For the next video , can you do a world english accent quiz and explain how to differentshade international accents from around the world? Thxx
Cracking series discussing the Birmingham accent ,I must say that there is a very slight difference between north and south Birmingham ie Jack Grealish and Johnny Osbourne .I think the North Birmingham accent is the authentic one .Jus'my opinion aright ?
I'd really love to hear the Welsh accent, as it is rarely addressed - or Mancunian 🥰
Agreed! It's one I know very little about so I'll have to do lots of research before making it, but I will do!
They sound American to me
Interesting! Thanks Tom!
my accent is my achilles heal, so it seems, nobody outside brum understands me! which plays havoc with my chosen profession, english teacher in spain!

Fun! LOVE the peaky blinders!
Me too! Glad you liked it Katy!
Brummie it’s my fav accent in whole UK ❤
Really? Love that!
Yeah! I love that accent 😀
The North Wales' accent would be good to hear some day🙂 Freshly coming there I got next to nothing.
Great shout!
Baby = babby in Brummie. I love this word.
Love this too!
Thank you Tom 🌈
My pleasure Patty : )
Is this the same accent they use for people in the North in GOT?
No mate, that’s northern English, Brummie is West Midlands accents
Just to confirm did Jack grow up in Brum? And also Brum is huge so the diversity of Brum accents will match this. To me saying someone has a brummie accent suggests they are all the same and they are not. Think of London the megacity how many versions of their accent do they have ?
Question. How would a brummie say the word "Shine". ?
I see Peaky Blinders.... I give a like.
Hehehe nice!
During the pandemic i used to live in brum im originally from coventry and picked up the accent quickly whenever i visited my step dad he would always rip me for picking up the accent. 😂😂
Am I right in thinking it sounds quite a bit like the Aussie accent?
It’s the I in the A sound
Hello Teacher Tom. What city Speaks the Multi cultural London accents?
Hey Eunice, the clue is in the name.....London! However, through social media and TV shows like Top Boy it is spreading across the country particularly in urban areas. I'll do MLE very soon!
All the Brummies I've known pronounce laugh as ''larf''.
My friend simps of Brad Simpson of the vamps who’s born in Birmingham, his slight accent is from Brad
Would Brummie use “thing” or “fing”?
Pls make a vid about black country accent, especially paying attention to AY as EA or EE: like Taycher =teacher, faycher=feature, spayke = speak, trayte = treat and the like.
Should have more likes !
Saludos from El Salvador
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hope you do a video feature the cockney accent
There seems to be different Brummie accents in the City - not sure if that is a North/South Birmingham divide.
It must have had some influence on the Australian accent.
I just said that it’s that
Exaggerated I sound on the Letter A. Ai instead of aye
Can you analyze Jamie Tart from Ted Lasso’s accent 😂😊
Please Feature the Multi cultural London accent In the next video!

Sure thing! It seems like Scouse is the one everyone wants : )
good teacher
Do the Phelps twins aka the Weasley twins from Harry Potter have Birmingham accent? 🙂
I think they speak with more of an estuary English accent if my memory serves me well. It's from the home counties outside London.
They do. They are from Sutton Coldfield, a part of Birmingham. The films make the Weasley side characters Brummie - Molly and Arthur are both also played by Brummies, and Domhnall Gleeson plays Bill with a Brummie accent.
Bro be looking like Adrian from mafs uk
I'm interested in the Liverpool accent and the Middlesbrough accent😃
Ohh two great shouts! Thanks : )
Have you ever heard any memeber of UB 40's band speaking ? OMG!! That's very really brummie accent!!!😳 Sometimes I've got to hear them twice to understand it
What about the R
How come you missed the rolling R! I’m taking you to the RRaces!

Please do Glaswegian!
Ahhh yes!!! Bloody love a Glaswegian accent : )
As a Brummie annoyed by a lot of these videos that confuse the Brummie and the Black Country accent I would give this 10/10. Noice one, bab

Arthur Shelby has perhaps one of the broadest brummie/brummy accent I have ever heard does not sound too different to the actor real accent he just sounds broad in general.
The actor is a Londoner. His Brummie accent is very good on the whole but occasionally he does lapse into Cockney 😂
It's has some similarities in its vowel pronunciation to a stereotypical south African accent at least to my ears
Do you sound Birmingham accent a bit closer to a black (African) English accent? I might be wrong
I've been living in Birmingham for a year now and I still don't understand what they say mostly, its very frustrating 😄
I'm asian, my english teacher told me why I don't try to practice British Accent. But I certainly did it. I mean...Brummie accent 😅
Now I/m wondering how often you use the words 'you bastard' that you have your favourite way of saying it haha
Question from a Yank - is the rolling r common?
maybe Cumbrian one ain't bad idea either;)
It's a great idea!
