How in the world do you know all of these accents so well? I’m fascinated by your videos. I’m American and I don’t know all the American accents the way you know the British accents!

Its a small island you see, from birth onwards we meet different accents daily in real life or on tv. Its the beautiful thing about being British

Amazing video Laura. Thanks a lot!

Excellent analysis! Thank you, Laura

Thank you smashing english. This video immensely benefited to me.

So far this is the best english teacher i have come across on youtube.

This is such a good video. Please do the northern accents in Game Of Thrones. I would love to know which characters use which accents. Thanks.

Please, analyze the accent of Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. It´s very hard to understand him in the interviews.

I'd give Depp credit for not taking the easy way out and doing a broad Devon or Cornwall accent for a pirate.

The english teacher I wish I had in Middle School and High School. Totally rad.

very interesting thanks 🤗

Merrel Streep did marvelously as Margaret Thatcher.

great video, great lesson. Are you able to recommend someone with RP accent to learn from?

Great teacher!🎉

Wonderful lessons, Laura. Keep up the fine work!

Eu gosto do sotaque do YUNGBLUD. Eu amo ele, estou apaixonada.

I thought the Aussie that you'll review was Chris Hemsworth's performance in the movie Rush, where he played as James Hunt, the 1976 F1 champion from the UK.

Does anyone remember when Gillian Anderson used to (does she still do it?) switch between American and exaggerated RP, depending on where she was? Bizarre.

The best teacher or one of them.

5:50 - "Dark Elle" is a great name for a pirate.

I really want you to collaborate with 'Lucy' for once.. please 😊😊

Tour english is perfect, but your french is perfectible. I'm in an absolute opposite situation. I propose to exchange our strengh and weakness.

I hardly ever see or hear my Accent, the Stoke on Trent accent covered in videos like this. To get an idea of the sound the most well known would be the singer Robbie Williams. There is also his mate Jonathon Wilkes and Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead fame. I can also add Eddie Hall to that. There was a made for TV film made years ago filmed locally called "My Fragile Heart", which starred Sarah Lancashire, Eva Pope and a few other notables, but although a little bit of the local dialect was used in the script, there was little if any actual stoke accent spoken.

Good accent explain. I think some of the movie accent as you mentioned can only appear in the movie, not in real life, isn’t? Of course the historical figures are true accent imitation.

Interesting . ☺

I'd always thought it was odd that Renèè Zellweger said "boofet" - but so did Colin Firth so I assumed it was a northen quirk that southern Brits took on. As for Dick Van Dyke's awful 'Cockney' accent, that's how Americans sound when they try to imitate us Aussies. Absolutely terrible 🤣🤣

Buffet is a French word, so you drop the T, as in ballet, parket. Balay, parkay,buffay. Hope our teacher agrees. LOL 😂 😂

I always thought Bette Davis was English, but had acquired an American accent. Apparently she was American and I liked her accent, it had a softer tone to it. 🤗

I read somewhere that many American actors in the 30s and 40s used this accent because the recording technology was primitive and words needed to be clearly enunciated. Don't know if it's true, but it makes sense.

It's dying-out now, but in the 20th century many actors were taught to speak in what some have called "Mid Atlantic". It was like a blend of English and American: lighter "R"s and "L"s. Slightly more nasal, "liquid" "U"s ("dyoo-tee" for duty, "nyoos" for news, etc). To many listeners it sounded English, but it was just considered the proper public speaking accent. It was an attempt at American English w/o any regionalism.

Birmingham/London mash up accent = Brumney accent?

I guess it’s similar to the way Mexican actors are dubbed in Castilian Spanish. It’s not the real deal, but it’s a general approach. Anyway, take in mind European English and Spanish accents are a minority although they are the original ones…

What's your favourite english books to improve fluency ?

What about English pirates with west country accent Johnny Depp/Jack sparrow?

All the English accents I like and respect.Nevertheless,I prefer and like the British accent quite more than American.

The thing to remember with Thatcher is that she took lessons to talk like that, it was deliberate. Part of her image makeover. You should listen to Thatcher herself, BEFORE she became leader of the Tories, much different. Meryll Streep just copied her image accent, maybe even went to the same coaches?

A few years ago, Dick Van Dyke's Jaguar caught fire, and fortunately, he escaped unharmed. I am still not convinced it wasn't an effort by MI5 and the behest of the Queen, who is still mad about his English accent in "Mary Poppins."

Thank you Laura ! I always hated Johnny Depp's accent but wasn't able to figure out why ... until your explanations!

But you HAVE TO understand ANY accent and in ANY quality (like, a phone call, with a noisy background, etc...) they deliberately play to you during the comprehension test... at least it used to be like that. This is so hard.

Maleficent's Received English accent.

I'm from the North West of England and we say, glass/grass/dance etc. Why do southerners say, glarss/grarss/darnce .? It seems odd to me. 😂

If teaching English doesn’t work out you could take up acting. You would be good at it.

Why did you say,: l just spoke about and not l've just spoken about? It sounds like American grammar

I believe the British will someday speak with American accent , not because it is American but because it is very simple, straight forward and neutral. The accent of no accent i mean. From the perspective of a non English speaker I find the American one more easy to speak and understand

@duncanthompson957

From an English point of view, American English is far from neutral. In fact, as far as English evolving into American is concerned, if anything American English is old-fashioned British English in sound, specifically it’s like a 17th Century Kent-ish English accent!

And I hope no such thing ever happens. American pop-"culture", mannerisms and irritating tendency to simplify everything have already had a significant impact on many world cultures and languages though (UK included unfortunately). Personally, love English accents but find the American ones not in the least attractive.

I always found Peter Dinklage's accent in GoT to be the worst in recent memory, nearly ruining every scene he's in. I've not ever heard anyone analyze why it's so bad, but it typifies a terrible American attempt at something vaguely RP. He was so lauded for that role, but his accent is so obnoxiously bad, it just shows how most people are kind of accent/tone deaf.

You're focusing on England? Try the Geordie, then. 😁 Cmon, let's challenge you a bit.

I do not like American English.!!!!!
