OMG I have the funniest story I'm from the south of Texas and I moved to England one year ago and someone in my new class asked me if I knew the Texas pledge and I responded by saying... Ya'll in texas I would come to school everyday and sing the Texas and American pledge of course I know the Texas pledge. Then he responds by saying I know the Texas pledge.and I said oh really if you know it then sing it. And ya'll he started singing the Texas anthem. HAHA 😂
I remember years ago we went to Waffle House in Florida and they recognized our accents and was like where are you guys from probably because I said y’all and they never heard the word before.

I've noticed my accent comes out when I get out of Texas. Here in Dallas I just sound like a news anchor. But when I went to England I swear it sounded like I was trying to sound like a stereotypical Texan.
When I'm in another state people immediately know I'm from Texas, even in other Southern States like Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama...Everyone speaks differently.
It is because in the back of your head you want to impress people and it's a good way to start a conversation. I did the same thing few times in Keele, England when I was an exchange student there. People were always like "wow, you have an accent, where do you come from?" It's a nice way to get to know people. I'm from Finland btw.
Me too! I didn't realize I had a "Texas twang" until I started my first job after high school. My costumers would call from different parts of the country and they would point it out to me.
I absolutely love accents, and we all have accents. One person’s accent is another person’s non-accent. It’s one of nature’s strong biological tools to help one, or many identify their group, or another’s group. Accents are endlessly fascinating.
Because I was young and impressionable and I bought into the media lies portraying southerners as ignorant hicks. Now, I'm older and wiser and realize that Texas is the best place to live in America.
ExoticFireGirl As a Texan, I've always been shy about my accent because it was so different than everyone else's, but now I'm starting to wonder if everyone secretly loves it...?
Accents like yours are great. The world would be so damned boring if we didn't have all those accents. I don't care where in the world you're from, but I like your natural accent all the same.
You're the first reply to differentiate Texas from Southern accents... NOT THE SAME! Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't southerners (Georgians, Alabamans, etc.) typically drop their R's? A Texan...NEVER!
I always wonder, where did that shitload of UK accents even come from? I mean, the UK isn't even that big in terms of territory compared to, say, France or Germany, and a significant portion of its population lives within an easy reach of one another (by which I mean England as a whole or even London itself for that matter) and yet I don't believe you will encounter any noticeable shift in a native's accent (I don't mean immigrants mind you!) if you move from one district of Paris or Berlin to another, something which does indeed happen fairly often in London. Most strange.
@Marvin Zacarias Well about what you ought to do. If you are by habit a person who goes to the public library then runs about telling people to 'shut-up because in the adult section they have books with smaller writing and more than just a few pages. Then may be you need to return to the junior section where a whole 24 page book may have fewer than 500 words total. So keep with in your own depth. But do not stop reading or learning as reading gets quicker as you get better and so the 500 word 24 page book you are used to reading over about 8 weeks and being asked to read by the teacher seemed a nightmare you' rather not experience. Keep reading as soon you will be able to read the whole book in under an hour and later it will be so easy. You may even read the whole book with in 3 or 4 minutes. So what you do is your choice. But clearly if you are having to ask that shows you may still need mummy or those who usually help you to know what to do. But maybe just refrain from telling others in conversation to 'shut-up' if you have no idea what the conversation is about of if the conversation was with in the context of requested dialogue.
@Marvin Zacarias Pictures have their place. But for such a book as the bible the pictures are only an artists interpretation whilst the words were what the teacher used to instruct. So whilst a picture of a bearded guy or a donkey may appeal or show to a person what a donkey is. It is surplus to the words which state he rode in to Jerusalem on a donkey. Once seeing a donkey at say age 5 or 6 most people know what a donkey looks like. So yes the pictures can help teacher show illustrations of an artists interpretation. But most people seek the words. So most bibles have no pictures or some have some maps. Of course we live in the movie age where pictures are on the screen telling stories 24/7. So sure they have their place. Picture can provide more detailed information on occasions than a paragraph of words. So they can both work. But here the comment was not about pictures or other off topic points of view. My comment to you was about my response to 'yarpen26'. To say what I needed in pictures would require a comic book style sequence of hundreds of simply picture to say the same thing. So picture can be limiting or less direct that a few words. So there it is: My comment is to state about the worthiness of my response and to state that if you did not find it worthy then you may shut yourself-up as I did not see my comment as deserving of your abuse and as such I think my comment should remain as valid. Your later comment explaining that you never read my comment but just stumbled at the size. Then that to me implies I was right and there is indeed nothing wrong or too long about my comment.
Oh- 'Writing in Volume Warning'. If you thought what I wrote was too long I advise you to get out now as my usual volume is enormous compared with some others who are not so accustomed to writing. I am a writer and have written on certain issues as a reporter. So writing ten, fifteen or twenty pages with out picture is not abnormal for me. It would not necessarily concern me if I found I was still writing a week later having written as much as a chapter.
Oh my goodness, finally! Someone who made a video saying that THIS IS NOT HOW WE TALK! Thank you! There's so many stereotypes in Texas, I cannot believe. Bothers me so much. This is not how we talk: 0:42
abbuturtle I personally don't think I have an accent, but when I speak to people outside of the south, I get told I have one. I think it's mostly the words I use 😂
I have noticed some quirks that seem to be common for a lot of Texas people, like for example their tendency to say "y'all", and the way they use some extra glides on some vowels - they might pronounce "Texas" as more like "Tyexas" just a little bit.

I am from Brazil and I lived in Texas, Fort Worth area, for five years. I had little, really little language issues during the five years II've spent there. Most of the times, my Brazilian accent in the beginning, but no big deal. When we learn English, instructors will teach you to get by. Unless someone in your famiily is a native speaker, you have been a student of a bi-lingual school or you have had like thousand classes, the best way to learn is listening. Paying attention. Expressions could be way more tricky than accents, that´s what I have learned in the real life. And Texans, I miiss them and I miss Texas. Great people, once you pass the "cultural stage", learn why so many guns etc., life iis cool, even the weather. If you ver go to Fort Worth, Texas, you can´t miss Stock Yards, Cabella's and find time for some wine tasting in Grapevine.
I am from Saudi Arabia. The funny thing is that some people think that we live in the desert inside tents and next to us a well of oil 😂 By the way, I was born in Dallas and I am trying to learn Texas Accent. I liked the video👍🏼
Hahaha very funny. Hey, man. I'm from Brazil and I'm learning american Engish and the different accents that your country got. It was very good to learn your real accent. :D
Jenny Ayala I don’t really get to experience that much lol, every time my family goes on a road trip it’s to Alabama where my moms side lives. And let me tell you, the accents are so thick compared to mine that I start to wonder if I’m actually from Wisconsin or something.
I’m a Brit and Texas is my favourite American accent!. I just love the way you pronounce those S’s!. There’s something sweet yet bad ass about you Texans!. 😘
I love most British accents and I'm learning a lot of British and European people love the Texan accent. I've spent my life trying to suppress it... I guess it's time to let it live again.
I'm from the United Kingdom - We all live in castles and fight dragons, we have all been knighted, we are all royal in some way and talk like we are on Downton Abbey " I say Jeeves old man, is there any mint sauce left for my roast lamb - thank you Jeeves you are a fine chap"
I'm in central Texas, and my friend Alex thought we said this and he did it in some weird country accent "Howdy partner, let's have us a tootin' barbeque tonight." I was like, "No, don't ever do that again"
I lived in the countryside south of Austin for about a year. I struggled hard in the beginning. My father in law indeed spoke like that, he had a twang so hard to understand, his wife spoke differently, but still stretched every word, e sounding like ee. They told me that in their generation boys and girls were tought to use different words, especially when it came to rude words. People at my age that I met tried to use less of an accent. Reminded me of home. Am from Berlin and I was never allowed at home to speak in that dialect/accent ( berlinern), because it is like a stigma. Ignorant thinking. I love the texan/southern accents. Soothing and cool. Thanks for the vid:) They indeed had horses and he went hunting deer every fall.
@@JoJo-hp5qd Well, I lived there 23 years ago, when I was 20. So back in the days,... that woold be much earlier I guess, and I was referring to my parents in law. People my age tried to speak without a distinct accent. Same with my friends in Berlin. Accents are being avoided or get lost due to a variety of languages people speak, I guess. But back to your question: no, because I am not that old and my mother in law would never curse or swear, so I would not know, which words women would've said. My father in law did use cuss words, but nothing particularly different from normal stuff. Son of a b***, son of a gun,... stuff like that. My best friend Michelle would always greet some friends, also me, with "hey bitch". Took me a while to get used to that and is not uncommon. So, except for my father in law, I never really heard anybody use rude words because they where all fun loving, friendly and well-mannered. Sometimes a f*** or s*** would slip out, but no. Actually very sad, I would be interested to learn about those words without researching in old books. :) (I love to swear in german and english)
Very good hahaha...I'm Brazilian and I came to see this video because I have a job interview with people who are in Texas, people told to me that the accent could be hard to understand, I think they really imagined that people talk like in the first part of the video 😂 Thank you for make it clear ❤
I'm a native Dallas boy. I live in Plano now. Best examples I know of public "figgers" who have true Texan accents are the actor Barry Corbin and former First Lady Laura Bush. Mrs. Bush really has a twang.
I'm from Texas and I honestly don't ever hear anyone talk like that lol I'm guessing you're from the Panhandle or even central. I live in North Texas, so a lot of people have Midwestern or even the typical American accent. It's so weird how location determines how your accent sounds like.
I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this video… Darlin’, a lot of people do speak like that depending on the generation. Even then, some still talk like that. Now, the gestures, that’s debatable 🤣🤣 We do have vehicles and some of us actually ride our horses around town. In Fort Worth, it’s not uncommon to see them everywhere… and babydoll, we do say yeehaw! We also say howdy, howdy partner, or just plain partner. We do in these here parts 🙃 Stereotypes come from somewhere. I think it’s funny how the younger generation thinks it’s some kind of old wives tale. I’m almost 50 so I’m lucky to have seen a lot of the stereotypes and actually live some of them. Cute video ☺️
I'm Brazilian and it's very difficult for me to hear English, but you're the first person I understand clearly. Thank you, I will follow you to practice my listening
I didn’t ride horses to school everyday, but my grandparents did back in the 1920’s and 30’s. Every family had at least one horse back then where they grew up.
Dude you're funny, laughed a lot. I liked the video and you're completely right, people r just too fast at judging others...the world would be a lot better if we just understood and respected more....btw I love Texas accent, it's THE best! :)
I knew a guy from Texas who sounded just like 0:36 and I never had a clue what he was saying. It was very annoying because I could never understand him and he kept accusing me of "not pain uh-ten'shun"
C Ran I’m from Texas, and I heard a story from a friend who worked as a school office aide. Apparently some dude called in looking for a radio tower, but his accent was so thick it sounded like he was saying, “radial tire” instead. Lol
I can relate with the riding a horse to work or school steryotype 😄 As an Egyptian American , many people who have never met Arabs or Egyptians always asume that I ride a camel to work or school when I was younger in high school in the US people always asked me if I rode a camel to school in Egypt or if I lived in a Pryamid 🤣🤣🤣
I'm from California and although this accent is what I expected, I did not assume that you ride a horse to work, nor did I assume that you were a gunslinger who says "yee haw."
Well done, Shawn! I am an English teacher from MN. I'm working with a student from India who moved to Dallas and she's having trouble communicating with locals. The first thing I did was to break the TX stereotypes. Now I'm working with her to listen more carefully to Texans. (With the understanding that it's only fair. She wants people to listen more carefully to her) She knows most of the words- she needs to tune in to the sounds. Thanks!
I saw some Europeans comments in the video, and I gotta agree with them (I'm French tho), Texas accent is badass, and cool. It's so hard to learn it, even more when we're not from a country without English origins, but someday I'll master it!
The day you master 'badass' is likely the day the Cops haul you up for sentencing as they think sentencing is cool. But whilst your time in the state pen for badasses may be demographicly hearing predominantly 'badass' languages. The real badass may be one badass you didn't want. As suddenly you changed your mind about badass being cool.
One part of learning to speak with a southern accent that people overlook is that each state has its own unique accent, so actors have to account for that
Am I alone here in thinking southern accents are attractive? I come from Chicago, and honestly a southern drawl is much more appealing to me than the accent we have up here.
At my university in the UK, there was a guy completely surrounded with gals. Yep that Southern accent makes everyone think of cowboys and fun loving outdoorsy people.
I’m a Texan....live in Hawaii 20 years now. It never goes away. People could not understand me with this words: Pen, Whale, jail. I fixed it by saying: pencil, prison and Humpback. My name is Jen amp everyone calls me Jan. Love it!😂😂😂😂
Very informative and fun to watch, thanks. That first example of what the rest of the US thinks a Texan accent is like is recognizably the Hollywood version of a Texas accent as you said. It puts me in mind of the character actors in the Westerns of the 40s-60s. "Ima gonna git up an' go bah cracky!" 🙄 It's sort of like Agatha Christie's version of American English - unspoken by real people. You ought to hear my extreme version of a Midwest accent if it comes to it (I grew up in St. Louis). We mangle French and every vowel sound is filtered through our noses... And please, tell me that people aren't really stupid enough to imagine that you ride everywhere on a horse. That's as bad as those who think New Mexico is a foreign country! Then again there are those who can't separate actors from the characters they play. Sigh.
It’s so funny because I was born and raised in Texas and there’s a lot less people who have a country accent than what people think. People always would tell me “You don’t SOUND like you’re from Texas.” I’m like “Well, I am…🤷♀️” 🤣
Gregory McGilvray Hey your just really rude i actually like people who are from texas and my favorite NFL team is the Dallas cowboys (beside the 49ers)
Gregory McGilvray you are really misinformed man, and you call Texans ignorant, you have no idea what it's like here. Nor the people that are from here. I'm from Dallas, and just about everyone around here has the average American accent. There are so many people who move here from all over the country, especially from the south. It is diverse here, there are definitely people here that are like that for sure I'm not going to lie, but these same people are also in the same place that you are from, or live. To say that is bullshit man, maybe you should open your ears and eyes before you judge people as a whole asshole.
When you said... this is your latest video...I quickly looked at when this video was Posted... and I'm looking at your 'latest' video after 8 years 😂...kinda funny 🤣
I was in Canada once, and when they found out I was from Texas, they asked me if we ride horses carried shotguns everywhere. Lol. It does get annoying after a while though.
+sirpsychosexy what part of texas are you from, the valley accent had been influenced by the okies when they came to california came during the dust bowl
When you were saying that people tend to exaggerate what Texans sound like, I can relate. I have a thick accent, and when people used to imitate me, they talk like they are in some western movie, and I know for a fact I don't sound like that. I ended up slowly trying to code switch, but when I'm tired, excited, mad (basically when I can't think straight), no one can understand me anymore. It is also really difficult trying to make it seem like you are loosing your accent when you are just slowly altering it. And, I personally really like my accent, so it was hard emotionally whenever I think about it, cause even my family thinks I lost it, when I'm just trying to cover it up. But something that I love doing is going to visit out of state family and speaking in my accent cause it makes me feel good again. TLDR: I'm self conscience about my thick accent and cover it up. I only show it when I can't think straight and when I am out of state.
What's the difference between Texas and Tennessee? In Texas, they ride horses. In Tennessee, they ride their cousins.

It's hard to be proud when someone hears your accent and writes you off as a dumb hick. That's ok better to be thought a fool than actually be one.
Exactly the same reasons that everybody thinks all British people sound like Hugh Grant. Stereotype fail
I always wonder, where did that shitload of UK accents even come from? I mean, the UK isn't even that big in terms of territory compared to, say, France or Germany, and a significant portion of its population lives within an easy reach of one another (by which I mean England as a whole or even London itself for that matter) and yet I don't believe you will encounter any noticeable shift in a native's accent (I don't mean immigrants mind you!) if you move from one district of Paris or Berlin to another, something which does indeed happen fairly often in London. Most strange.

Well about what you ought to do. If you are by habit a person who goes to the public library then runs about telling people to 'shut-up because in the adult section they have books with smaller writing and more than just a few pages. Then may be you need to return to the junior section where a whole 24 page book may have fewer than 500 words total. So keep with in your own depth. But do not stop reading or learning as reading gets quicker as you get better and so the 500 word 24 page book you are used to reading over about 8 weeks and being asked to read by the teacher seemed a nightmare you' rather not experience. Keep reading as soon you will be able to read the whole book in under an hour and later it will be so easy. You may even read the whole book with in 3 or 4 minutes. So what you do is your choice. But clearly if you are having to ask that shows you may still need mummy or those who usually help you to know what to do.
But maybe just refrain from telling others in conversation to 'shut-up' if you have no idea what the conversation is about of if the conversation was with in the context of requested dialogue.
@Marvin Zacarias
Pictures have their place. But for such a book as the bible the pictures are only an artists interpretation whilst the words were what the teacher used to instruct. So whilst a picture of a bearded guy or a donkey may appeal or show to a person what a donkey is. It is surplus to the words which state he rode in to Jerusalem on a donkey. Once seeing a donkey at say age 5 or 6 most people know what a donkey looks like. So yes the pictures can help teacher show illustrations of an artists interpretation. But most people seek the words. So most bibles have no pictures or some have some maps. Of course we live in the movie age where pictures are on the screen telling stories 24/7. So sure they have their place. Picture can provide more detailed information on occasions than a paragraph of words. So they can both work. But here the comment was not about pictures or other off topic points of view.
My comment to you was about my response to
'yarpen26'. To say what I needed in pictures would require a comic book style sequence of hundreds of simply picture to say the same thing. So picture can be limiting or less direct that a few words.
So there it is: My comment is to state about the worthiness of my response and to state that if you did not find it worthy then you may shut yourself-up as I did not see my comment as deserving of your abuse and as such I think my comment should remain as valid. Your later comment explaining that you never read my comment but just stumbled at the size. Then that to me implies I was right and there is indeed nothing wrong or too long about my comment.
Oh- 'Writing in Volume Warning'. If you thought what I wrote was too long I advise you to get out now as my usual volume is enormous compared with some others who are not so accustomed to writing. I am a writer and have written on certain issues as a reporter. So writing ten, fifteen or twenty pages with out picture is not abnormal for me. It would not necessarily concern me if I found I was still writing a week later having written as much as a chapter.
Oh my goodness, finally! Someone who made a video saying that THIS IS NOT HOW WE TALK! Thank you! There's so many stereotypes in Texas, I cannot believe. Bothers me so much. This is not how we talk: 0:42
+abbuturtle I know people who sound like that to me.. when I picture them in my HEAD.... lol
Me too, lol :D
abbuturtle I personally don't think I have an accent, but when I speak to people outside of the south, I get told I have one. I think it's mostly the words I use 😂
abigail mccullough you are right i am from galveston texas we don't speak like that
I have noticed some quirks that seem to be common for a lot of Texas people, like for example their tendency to say "y'all", and the way they use some extra glides on some vowels - they might pronounce "Texas" as more like "Tyexas" just a little bit.
G’DAY MATE! I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 and I ride a Kangaroo 🦘 to work, eat a Vegemite sandwich for lunch and guzzle down a six pack of beers 🍻 with me mates when I get home. Then I put another shrimp 🦐 on the barbie for dinner 🍽 👍
I've lived in north texas my whole life but can't tell if I sound Texan or not.
I lived in Dallas my whole life and moved to Arkansas. They can tell I'm Texan so I must've had an accent lol
I live in south Texas and I don’t even think I have a southern accent, just a generic American one
@@eatingshelf6135 i can't tell either, to be honest, but maybe we don't notice it because we hear ourselves talk "normal" everyday?
I live in south texas and I cant tell if I sound texan either
I’m from central Texas , Austin, and people tell me I sound Texan since I’ve moved lol. I think people say that we don’t have accents in the cities , but you can’t tell til you move I think haha
You will have a lot of gf if you talk like that in Australia
Camille Racal Noted.
Y'all Don't know how nice it is to fix a cornbread n sweet tea dinner and then eat it in the bed of yur(your) chevy :D......just kidding...we ride horses..chevys are for city boys...
Then I adore Australian woman, if this is priority against money im gonna make it, just first i need to learn english :)
Matt .............. No we don't....
Camille Racal I know where I'm moving.

I am from Brazil and I lived in Texas, Fort Worth area, for five years. I had little, really little language issues during the five years II've spent there. Most of the times, my Brazilian accent in the beginning, but no big deal. When we learn English, instructors will teach you to get by. Unless someone in your famiily is a native speaker, you have been a student of a bi-lingual school or you have had like thousand classes, the best way to learn is listening. Paying attention. Expressions could be way more tricky than accents, that´s what I have learned in the real life. And Texans, I miiss them and I miss Texas. Great people, once you pass the "cultural stage", learn why so many guns etc., life iis cool, even the weather. If you ver go to Fort Worth, Texas, you can´t miss Stock Yards, Cabella's and find time for some wine tasting in Grapevine.
"Wooo~weee" I love that part.
That's "YEEE HAWWW!" T
I am from Saudi Arabia. The funny thing is that some people think that we live in the desert inside tents and next to us a well of oil 😂 By the way, I was born in Dallas and I am trying to learn Texas Accent. I liked the video👍🏼
Hahaha very funny. Hey, man. I'm from Brazil and I'm learning american Engish and the different accents that your country got. It was very good to learn your real accent. :D
Happy to help with your education lol. Thanks for leaving a comment!
I'm from Brazil as well and I did enjoy the video...very funny!
+Neutrometal nap You are from Brazil ? Hola , como estás ? HAHAHAH kidding, I´m from Brazil too
Hahaha we do not speak Spanish hahaha...I understood the joke! :D
+Neutrometal nap im from Brazil too, i have a band, play banjo and I really want to learn how to speak like 00:35 whhawhahwahwa nice video Shawn
It really depends more on where in Texas you’re from. Houstonians barely even have the accent.
FACTS. I think it's because we're so modern. The closest we get is if we say "y'all" lol
Amy Le yeah but as soon as you leave the state it hits like a truck
Sean Wheeler That’s true
Jenny Ayala I don’t really get to experience that much lol, every time my family goes on a road trip it’s to Alabama where my moms side lives. And let me tell you, the accents are so thick compared to mine that I start to wonder if I’m actually from Wisconsin or something.
I’m from Houston I don’t have a accent at all
I mean we do make fun of Yankees a lot..
Get out the Cahhh.....What? you mean the Car?
Sid Plague lmaoo pray for me. I’m from San Antonio, TX and I’m living in New York City

Does he have a horse? Does he shout yee haw every morning?
Did you two broke up yet?
Sebastian Mejia i like how eager you sound
same lol
I’m a Brit and Texas is my favourite American accent!. I just love the way you pronounce those S’s!. There’s something sweet yet bad ass about you Texans!. 😘
"ehyuss" is how we say the letter lol
I love most British accents and I'm learning a lot of British and European people love the Texan accent. I've spent my life trying to suppress it... I guess it's time to let it live again.
@Paul Smith saaame lol
Gracias cowboy.
I'm from the United Kingdom - We all live in castles and fight dragons, we have all been knighted, we are all royal in some way and talk like we are on Downton Abbey " I say Jeeves old man, is there any mint sauce left for my roast lamb - thank you Jeeves you are a fine chap"
"I dont even have a horse" xD ... :D

I'm in central Texas, and my friend Alex thought we said this and he did it in some weird country accent "Howdy partner, let's have us a tootin' barbeque tonight." I was like, "No, don't ever do that again"
I lived in the countryside south of Austin for about a year. I struggled hard in the beginning. My father in law indeed spoke like that, he had a twang so hard to understand, his wife spoke differently, but still stretched every word, e sounding like ee. They told me that in their generation boys and girls were tought to use different words, especially when it came to rude words. People at my age that I met tried to use less of an accent. Reminded me of home. Am from Berlin and I was never allowed at home to speak in that dialect/accent ( berlinern), because it is like a stigma. Ignorant thinking. I love the texan/southern accents. Soothing and cool. Thanks for the vid:) They indeed had horses and he went hunting deer every fall.
@@JoJo-hp5qd Well, I lived there 23 years ago, when I was 20. So back in the days,... that woold be much earlier I guess, and I was referring to my parents in law. People my age tried to speak without a distinct accent. Same with my friends in Berlin. Accents are being avoided or get lost due to a variety of languages people speak, I guess. But back to your question: no, because I am not that old and my mother in law would never curse or swear, so I would not know, which words women would've said. My father in law did use cuss words, but nothing particularly different from normal stuff. Son of a b***, son of a gun,... stuff like that. My best friend Michelle would always greet some friends, also me, with "hey bitch". Took me a while to get used to that and is not uncommon. So, except for my father in law, I never really heard anybody use rude words because they where all fun loving, friendly and well-mannered. Sometimes a f*** or s*** would slip out, but no. Actually very sad, I would be interested to learn about those words without researching in old books. :) (I love to swear in german and english)
Hey Schwester, Dialekte sterben leider aus. Die Leute sind sich zu fein dafür, sie wollen alle weltlich sein. Es ist wirklich traurig
Very good hahaha...I'm Brazilian and I came to see this video because I have a job interview with people who are in Texas, people told to me that the accent could be hard to understand, I think they really imagined that people talk like in the first part of the video 😂 Thank you for make it clear ❤
OMG! i hate when people make fun of my accent or think Texans sound like.. well u know lol
+Angelina May I was born and raised in South Texas for 7 years in Texas and I did not sound like that.
+Adrian Gonzalez that's cuz southern Texas is full of meskins
Jo Ob Hahaha your funny
+Angelina May I love Texas and the people.
I'll take Texas over English society any day. So just stay where you are.
houston boy here,
no accent, but my aunts and uncles sound like country folk.
I'm from austin and for some reason I have an accent
I'm a native Dallas boy. I live in Plano now. Best examples I know of public "figgers" who have true Texan accents are the actor Barry Corbin and former First Lady Laura Bush. Mrs. Bush really has a twang.
I'm from Houston as well and I talk proper.
im not from Texas and people said I have a Texas accent
nick I’m from corpus I don’t have an accent
So it’s true, every time a true Texas man talk with Texas accent banjo music is playing from nowhere in the background.
0:36 *Red Dead Redemption intensifies*
I'm from Texas and I honestly don't ever hear anyone talk like that lol I'm guessing you're from the Panhandle or even central. I live in North Texas, so a lot of people have Midwestern or even the typical American accent. It's so weird how location determines how your accent sounds like.
I'm from North Texas too, Don't hear anyone talk like that either.
***** I'm from Houston and we don't sound like that! I thought maybe he was from the northeast part.
I'm from North Texas and everyone I know has an accent just like his, I guess it depends where you are in North Texas.
Amanda Allison same ive never heard any one talk like that
Amanda Allison I live in Ellis County and nearly everyone talks something like this.
Haha I’m a Texas girl too, anddddddd I don’t have a horse :)
This was very funny though!
I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this video… Darlin’, a lot of people do speak like that depending on the generation. Even then, some still talk like that. Now, the gestures, that’s debatable 🤣🤣 We do have vehicles and some of us actually ride our horses around town. In Fort Worth, it’s not uncommon to see them everywhere… and babydoll, we do say yeehaw! We also say howdy, howdy partner, or just plain partner. We do in these here parts 🙃 Stereotypes come from somewhere. I think it’s funny how the younger generation thinks it’s some kind of old wives tale. I’m almost 50 so
I’m lucky to have seen a lot of the stereotypes and actually live some of them. Cute video ☺️
your accent is so attractive!
He exactly sounds like a character from the movie cars...."tow mater"
no he doesn’t, mater has more of a generic southern accent
@@evanbookout okay. I didn't know that. I don't have American accent probly that's the reason I didn't notice.
But it's Larry the cable guy isn't it?
I was born in texas and i have never met a person that sounds like that.
I'm Brazilian and it's very difficult for me to hear English, but you're the first person I understand clearly. Thank you, I will follow you to practice my listening
"I don't even have a horse" that had me crackle
The best accent in America.. like if you agree
"You can always tell a Texan, but you can't tell him much" - Dell Conagher
I didn’t ride horses to school everyday, but my grandparents did back in the 1920’s and 30’s. Every family had at least one horse back then where they grew up.
Dude you're funny, laughed a lot. I liked the video and you're completely right, people r just too fast at judging others...the world would be a lot better if we just understood and respected more....btw I love Texas accent, it's THE best! :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I knew a guy from Texas who sounded just like 0:36 and I never had a clue what he was saying. It was very annoying because I could never understand him and he kept accusing me of "not pain uh-ten'shun"
C Ran I’m from Texas, and I heard a story from a friend who worked as a school office aide. Apparently some dude called in looking for a radio tower, but his accent was so thick it sounded like he was saying, “radial tire” instead. Lol
I can relate with the riding a horse to work or school steryotype 😄 As an Egyptian American , many people who have never met Arabs or Egyptians always asume that I ride a camel to work or school when I was younger in high school in the US people always asked me if I rode a camel to school in Egypt or if I lived in a Pryamid 🤣🤣🤣
"I don`t even have a horse"...should you??? I'm laughing my ass off, here !
I'm from California and although this accent is what I expected, I did not assume that you ride a horse to work, nor did I assume that you were a gunslinger who says "yee haw."
T S very cool
From Dallas and East Texas
When I moved to Florida they called me Texx.
They said no doubt your from Texas.
Thanks
In the uk, everyone thinks we speak posh or something else but when you come to England (northern) they don’t sound like how you expect them.
Well done, Shawn! I am an English teacher from MN. I'm working with a student from India who moved to Dallas and she's having trouble communicating with locals. The first thing I did was to break the TX stereotypes. Now I'm working with her to listen more carefully to Texans. (With the understanding that it's only fair. She wants people to listen more carefully to her) She knows most of the words- she needs to tune in to the sounds. Thanks!
I saw some Europeans comments in the video, and I gotta agree with them (I'm French tho), Texas accent is badass, and cool. It's so hard to learn it, even more when we're not from a country without English origins, but someday I'll master it!
The day you master 'badass' is likely the day the Cops haul you up for sentencing as they think sentencing is cool. But whilst your time in the state pen for badasses may be demographicly hearing predominantly 'badass' languages. The real badass may be one badass you didn't want. As suddenly you changed your mind about badass being cool.
@@MikeGreenwood51 Okay man
@@sentenza5766
LOL. Live long and prosper.
Watch, the texas chainsaw massacre movies. You can learn from there
One part of learning to speak with a southern accent that people overlook is that each state has its own unique accent, so actors have to account for that
No one:
The subtitles: *I'm a horse* 2:28
LMAO
Am I alone here in thinking southern accents are attractive? I come from Chicago, and honestly a southern drawl is much more appealing to me than the accent we have up here.
At my university in the UK, there was a guy completely surrounded with gals. Yep that Southern accent makes everyone think of cowboys and fun loving outdoorsy people.
All these years and I still watch this video 😂 and I keep showing it to my friends.

I totally agree we do not sound like that and the make us sound like we're stupid in TV shows

Very informative and fun to watch, thanks.
That first example of what the rest of the US thinks a Texan accent is like is recognizably the Hollywood version of a Texas accent as you said. It puts me in mind of the character actors in the Westerns of the 40s-60s. "Ima gonna git up an' go bah cracky!" 🙄 It's sort of like Agatha Christie's version of American English - unspoken by real people.
You ought to hear my extreme version of a Midwest accent if it comes to it (I grew up in St. Louis). We mangle French and every vowel sound is filtered through our noses...
And please, tell me that people aren't really stupid enough to imagine that you ride everywhere on a horse. That's as bad as those who think New Mexico is a foreign country! Then again there are those who can't separate actors from the characters they play. Sigh.
It’s so funny because I was born and raised in Texas and there’s a lot less people who have a country accent than what people think. People always would tell me “You don’t SOUND like you’re from Texas.” I’m like “Well, I am…🤷♀️” 🤣
I don’t know why but the guns shots at 0:46 made me laugh so harddddd!!😭😭
Texan accent got something cool when is spoken... I'm far from Texas but I liked this video.. Greetings from Colombia South America.
Everyone has an accent - even a neutral accent is an accent.
It's just part of the human condition......

Gregory McGilvray Hey your just really rude i actually like people who are from texas and my favorite NFL team is the Dallas cowboys (beside the 49ers)
Gregory McGilvray and where are you from?
Gregory McGilvray you are really misinformed man, and you call Texans ignorant, you have no idea what it's like here. Nor the people that are from here. I'm from Dallas, and just about everyone around here has the average American accent. There are so many people who move here from all over the country, especially from the south. It is diverse here, there are definitely people here that are like that for sure I'm not going to lie, but these same people are also in the same place that you are from, or live. To say that is bullshit man, maybe you should open your ears and eyes before you judge people as a whole asshole.
You have impeccable comic timing! You should continue doing these sorta' videos and try stand up too, honestly! Kudos!!
When you said... this is your latest video...I quickly looked at when this video was Posted... and I'm looking at your 'latest' video after 8 years 😂...kinda funny 🤣
He does have a texas accent tho....it's a good thing btw
2:24 LMAOOO I laughed so hard! And the stereotype part THO! Greets From Italy! I wish one day to visit the USA
looked this up for a book i’m reading so i can imagine the characters accent haha. not gonna lie it initially started sounding like your joke accent 😂
That impression was pure deliverance.

I was in Canada once, and when they found out I was from Texas, they asked me if we ride horses carried shotguns everywhere. Lol. It does get annoying after a while though.
I love it it brings me back pretty old memories... Beleive what you can.
When you're British and you're wondering how the hell our own colonies produced so much weird accents
"Tsang" isnt a british surname, are you british british or british with chinese or asian backroud? Just asking
texas isn't really part of the south tbh, its a weird hybrid of western southern american cultures
True
Yea, it literally is.
Yep I'm from Texas I agree. I went to LA one time and people thought I was from the valley
+sirpsychosexy what part of texas are you from, the valley accent had been influenced by the okies when they came to california came during the dust bowl
Landon Le austin. i grew up in the city so my accent isnt very southern. i grew up skating and stuff so i guess i kind of sound like a surfer
I love your accent! I'm from New Zealand 🙂. We sound similar to Australians and British people.
When you were saying that people tend to exaggerate what Texans sound like, I can relate. I have a thick accent, and when people used to imitate me, they talk like they are in some western movie, and I know for a fact I don't sound like that. I ended up slowly trying to code switch, but when I'm tired, excited, mad (basically when I can't think straight), no one can understand me anymore. It is also really difficult trying to make it seem like you are loosing your accent when you are just slowly altering it. And, I personally really like my accent, so it was hard emotionally whenever I think about it, cause even my family thinks I lost it, when I'm just trying to cover it up. But something that I love doing is going to visit out of state family and speaking in my accent cause it makes me feel good again.
TLDR: I'm self conscience about my thick accent and cover it up. I only show it when I can't think straight and when I am out of state.
