Grand is one of those words changing meaning based on how you say it. It's like a word we use a lot in Genoa (where I'm from in Italy), a word I'm not writing as it's quite rude.
I believe that comes from when the English upper classes lived in the ‘grand houses’ in Ireland. So the common Irish people would say it in a mocking manner to each other’Arn’t you grand?’ ‘Yes I am grand’ In other words above your position or status. Then over time the ‘grand’ became known as ‘good’.
I’m half Irish and here in America our English is by far more like the Irish English than England English. The Irish influenced us a lot! Country music dance language etc
thanks for this interesting video. As a Ukrainian, I realized that the Irish English is the most understandable for me. foreigners for whom English is not native have same features in pronunciation as in an Irish accent😯I started to feel interested in Irish
@@CinCee-Some English, Scottish, and Welsh accents are difficult to understand. Some American accents are difficult to understand. Some Australian accents are difficult to understand. Ireland doesn’t have the monopoly on difficult to understand accents.
It is *very* common for non-native speakers to find an Irish accent easier to understand than an RP accent, and I can only assume that the fact it is rhotic is what makes the difference. I’ve lost track of how many times work colleagues from Asia and South America, who perhaps had never spoken with an Irish person before, have told me that they find my accent very easy to understand.
First time l learned poor, pour & paw are pronounced in the same way in British English while there’s a difference between the three words in Irish ☘️ I wish I could spend a few days in an Irish city or town 😁 Thanks to you Anna as well as to your adorable guest 🙏
Jo said what I have always thought. The American accent is very close to Irish accent. There have been times I have thought a person was American when I finally would hear a giveaway to their Irish. So I think the American accent is mostly Irish.
Many white, EuroAmericans are from Irish immigration, due to the Great Famine & English colonialism in general. However, largest no. of surnames are German since several decades (but perhaps some of those are E Europe Ashkenazi Jewish?)
I am in the UK at present and have met several people from Ireland who live in the UK or are like me are touring. The accent is lovely and so soft, similar, but different to the northern Scottish accent I have encountered.
@M OCribin Northern: being northern Scottish compared to southern - most of my relatives are northern or islands Scots. Being a visitor I didn’t know the difference between Irish accents. I am sure like the Australian accent there is variation from person to person. I am told by people here I don’t have a strong Australian accent.
@@peternakitch4167Just so you know, in a British context the word ‘northern’ refers to the North of England. It never means Scotland even though Scotland is further north than England.
It's always been fascinating to learn about new accents. Thank you Anna for what you do here as a gifted teacher. I'm proud of watching your videos and learning something new. Well Done Dear Anna.💙💙
One thing that wasn’t mentioned is how Irish accents pronounce the START vowel - that’s in words like “cart”, “far”, and “heart”. On top of being rhotic like most things in Irish accents, it’s also very fronted in the mouth as well. In the city of Boston, Massachusetts, which was shaped by a lot of Irish immigration, the START vowel is also fronted but it’s also non-rhotic (although linking-R still exists, much like in British accents). This leads to the stereotypical phonetic pronunciation of “Pak yuh car in Hahvuhd Yahd”. (That’s “park your car in Harvard Yard” for anyone not familiar with Boston accents or New England accents in general.)
Many of these features a leftover from the Irish language. Even the syntax of a sentence when you go out west is different than English because they’re using Irish language rules
An enjoyable video, Anna. Just loved it. "Accents" can be quite interesting. It was only during my army training that I realised that even Afrikaans has differenr "accents" depending on where the speaker comes from.
Great video guys. One quick note. Some of these pronunciations are very Dublin based. Munster folk would pronounce poor and pour the exact same way. And we'd pronounce time differently too. Just some little things that make Irish accents so much fun to learn about.
Hi Anna. I am VERY glad that videos of the accent series seem to be making a glorious come back. This one was just lovely! I just would like to suggest, if possible, and much like the videos from the face to face conversations with native speakers you have already had, that you make available on the screen the symbols of the language's phonetics system in discussion and the words up for pronunciation. It facilitates the accompaniment of the entire session. Other than that, again, lovely, lovely. More videos please. Love.
I was shocked by the similarity to some sounds used in New England, where many people are of Irish descent. When I was a kid, instead of "mine," we would say "my-en." Seems like the equivalent of "fil-em" and "ti-em."
I am planning of moving to Ireland but was afraid of their accent as I am used to hearing at London's or American's. Luckily this video showed up to me and as a Spaniard, I find it easier to understand and either speak.
@@m1lst3r89 This aged like milk. Growth rate 1/3 of Ireland’s and 3 prime ministers in 3 years. And still trying to negotiate a deal signed 3 years ago to settle a vote carried out 7 years ago.
These videos are awesome. I love hearing how people talk in the English speaking language as there’s so many different accents and dialects and then comparing them to my PNW accent. Which I assume is a pretty generic American accent ha. Thanks for sharing all these! I wish I could get to chat with you too! Haha
Canadian here. During five years in Cambridge late 60s, I was often assumed to be American 😒 but occasionally asked if I were Irish 🙂. I love the Irish final "split t"!
Most of my youngest colleagues here in Galway use "What's the story?" and "What's the craic?". It took me a while to understand what they were telling me. It's not natural for me to use those phrases.
Mum matriculated from what is now University College, Dublin. Hey elocution training indeed, included marbles in her mouth. I must say, Mum was sought after for public readings, announcements, and even the occasional radio spot in the very small town, where I grew up (USA). Her elocution was beautiful. She was born 1923, so her education was completed late 30s.
Do you plan on doing vids on American or Aussie accents? If you want to do American accents, I can point you in the right direction to start. For example, the Philly accent check out, on RUclips, ice hockey player Tony DeAngelo, and for Boston check another hockey player (former) Kevin Stevens. Both have heavy classic accents for each of those cities respectively.
I’m from Cork where we have a very distinctive singsong accent that is quite different to Jo’s (mild) Dublin accent. Many of the features discussed, such as the pronunciation of “th” come from the Irish language (Gaeilge) and these we have in common across Ireland. As a 20something year old, I moved to Dublin, and it took me some time to understand some people! I moved to Canada decades ago and now have a mixed accent. However, some people, meeting me for the first time, will announce loudly “You have an accent!” To which I reply “So do you!”. I have been mistaken for English and Scottish. But whenever I go to Ireland, people remark on my Canadian accent. “Say Aboot!” I was recently reading a comment on an interview with the Irish actor Andrew Scott, in which the commented thought he had an American accent. I don’t think he has an American accent at all, just a mild South County Dublin accent combined with a bit of London, where he currently lives. But Irish accents sound very familiar to most Americans.
This is great!! I am headed to Dublin next week so definitely learned some new words :) and ways that words are pronounced that I never would have understood! like “anything” - that one was wild
So on a trip to Ireland (from the US) I paid for a small item with a one euro note. The item cost 0.57, so the clerk handed me back my change and said, what sounded to me, like "Farty Tree." I just pictured in my head an old tree with a knot hole that was closed, but would open up from time to time and eject a foul rotten odor!
@@fabrice9252 probably because you don't speak English as a first language, that's mostly what you would hear trying to differentiate an American and British accent. RP or not RP.
@@Maestro4759 I'm with you on this. By dint of hearing English, I am now able to identify an American one due to these 'r'. Now there are so many accents and even only in the U.K. itself that it's way more complicated to identify them and yes: RP or not RP, that is the question! ;-)
1:26 we being who Anna ? I would say any Irish accent where Gaeilge was or is spoken would pronounce th easily. However, v w and F are difficult. Especially v and w which don’t exist in the Irish alphabet. Vise grips becomes wise grips, and white becomes fuite. Your experience might be a bit Dublin centric? Yup definitely middle class Dublin centric.
﴿بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمنِ الرَّحيمِ﴾ [الفاتحة: ١] (1) In the name of Allāh,[2] the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.[3] [2]- Allāh is a proper name belonging only to the one Almighty God, Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them, the Eternal and Absolute, to whom alone all worship is due. [3]- Ar-Raḥmān and ar-Raḥeem are two names of Allāh derived from the word "raḥmah" (mercy) . In Arabic grammar both are intensive forms of "merciful" (i.e., extremely merciful) . A complimentary and comprehensive meaning is intended by using both together. Raḥmān is used only to describe Allāh, while raḥeem might be used to describe a person as well. The Prophet (ﷺ) was described in the Qur’ān as raḥeem. Raḥmān is above the human level (i.e., intensely merciful) . Since one usually understands intensity to be something of short duration, Allāh describes Himself also as raḥeem (i.e., continually merciful) . Raḥmān also carries a wider meaning - merciful to all creation. Justice is a part of this mercy. Raḥeem includes the concept of speciality - especially and specifically merciful to the believers. Forgiveness is a part of this mercy. In addition, Raḥmān is adjectival, referring to an attribute of Allāh and is part of His essence. Raḥeem is verbal, indicating what He does: i.e., bestowing and implementing mercy. - الترجمة الإنجليزية
Spare us your salamalecs Abo! Tell me, believer, I have a question for you (and please, above all, don't tell me that the ways of the Lord are impenetrable!): Does an alleged god, yet omnipotent and omniscient, like the ones featured in any of the revealed religions ... had the choice to create the world as it is?!!! .... Really? Really man?!! ... If so, I would have 2 or 3 small questions to ask this -enfoiré- guy and I doubt that he would manage to convince me whatever his argumentation would be ... Moreover, not the place for your proselytism here! Allah Snackbar! 😂 ;-)
Not a bad Idea to go and live in Ireland, and now that I know that the language is some craic I can't wait to go and visit this amazing country with so much spirituality connected to nature. Nice to know you Jo from Dublin.
Then you could visit Highland W coast of Scotland to hear Scottish Gaelic, & (Lowland) Scots variety of English. Other English speaking Celtic regions-Wales, Cornwall, Isle of Man. French &Breton speakers in France, Galician & Spanish speakers in Galicia, Spain.
Hi Anna! Hi Jo! And hi to all our wonderful and lovely Irish friends! 😊 🇮🇪 I loved the lesson; it was a fascinating, enlightening and brilliant exchange! I learnt a lot. Thanks so much to the both of you for that wonderful lesson! You are magnificent. Another fantastic interview to your credit, Anna. Bisous. Lots of love from France! 😍🌹🌹💗💗
Also, that slit-T that Jo mentioned - the one where she said it was more like the “sh” in “shower” - can be found outside of Ireland in some Newfoundland accents in Canada. (Like many accents, and especially accents in North America, it was shaped by settlement patterns and points of contact.)
I swear to god, the newfie accent is almost identical to an Irish accent. It's uncanny in so many ways. Even certain stereotypical Irish phrases have stuck around in newfoundland too.
@@marblerye123 yup! And that’s how accents are made: through contact points and settlement patterns. (The English-speaking people who arrived in Newfoundland, Canada, were predominantly from Ireland.)
OMG! I guess my English accent could be a mixture of many other accents... 🤭 Glad to find out! 🤪. However, I love yours Anna, which I think is British Received Pronunciation. Your accent and your charm when speaking. Thanks for everything. 🤗🤗
I really understood the difference between English and Irish accents but the most interesting thing was her smile. Jo is a natural charm whenever she smiles. Perfect as an Irish person should be. ♥️🇮🇪🇮🇳
I was impressed with the use of the word “grand” for “I’m grand” instead of “I’m good”
In Italian you can say: vado alla grande= I'm doing well
Grand is one of those words changing meaning based on how you say it. It's like a word we use a lot in Genoa (where I'm from in Italy), a word I'm not writing as it's quite rude.

"Grand" is used a bit like "OK", but it generaly means better than OK as in "pefectly satisfactory" whereas "OK" suggests only just satisfactory.

Dublin yes but the accents gets thicker outside of dublin. The Hollywood version of the Irish accent is not really heard in Ireland

As a native spanish speaker her accent is so much more intuitive to what we would sound words out to be, interesting !
As an Irish person and native English speaker I adore the Spanish language. I really want to learn it. Its so fluid and just beautiful.....
I would always say what’s the craic to mean what Anna said, Jo is the first person I’ve ever heard saying she doesn’t use it like that

Is the scottish accent rhotic as well??
Yes, it is.
It is but they use a thrilled R not an Irish or American retroflex R.

How to find a British partner to practice British English with him/her???
As an Irish person the only thing Jo lost me on was "anything "I have never heard anyone pronounce it like that 😂,I thought she was having a stroke 😂

Nice.
Hell in the North there are quite a few Irish accents
I’ve discovered by travelling that my Irish accent manages to be rhotic and erotic at the same time. 😂
somehow it sounds a bit american accent isn't it?
It's grand
She said "alone", but I thought she said "eleven" 😄
Strange to think the irish also have their own indigenous celtic language, wonder what percentage know how to speak it...

That's rich!
