Had a few comments asking about 'The Black Country.' The Black Country is an area of England, in the middle. It covers a collection of towns and boroughs near to Birmingham. It is called the Black Country because of its industrial history, where the many factories and foundries would create a lot of smoke in the area.

Where have you been, guys? It's been a month since I watched this video.

I’m English (born in Kent, raised in Devon, lived in south wales and Worcestershire in the past, currently live in Lincolnshire) but I still struggle with some accents from some individual people. Even a really broad Devonian accent! I used to teach on the edge of Dartmoor and would often see an old man in the morning. I never understood a single word he said!

I don't know Shetland so I don't know the local accent. But there's no dialect in the series. In a lot of these series, they just stick the occasional word in to make it sound "dialecty". I had the same experience with Montalbano, set in Sicily. "This I'd easy", I thought. When I went to get my hair cut in a small town in Sicily on holiday, I was trying to understand what the other customers were saying. Not a word! The BBC makes a lot of money from exports!

Amazing stuff. This channel is a blessing for me. Keep up the good work! 👏🏼❤

The UK not only has regional accents, but also has economic class accents. A British woman in my country returned to the UK and back after 5 years away and told me that she didn't realize the class separation was so great in the UK until she returned after 5 years. We really don't have such class separation, so it really would stand out comparing the two countries.

Yep. Everyone can see and feel the class separation coming from 2nd and 3rd world countries. Although middle-class British tend to speak way more clean English than bottom-class. They might use posh "wo'ds", but they will make themselves heard loud and clear. 😂

Yes indeed, and that distinction is more acute if someone from the lower socio strata ends up on the wrong side of the law. Uk is seemingly amiable on a brief visit, but if you find yourself adjusting to its elitest and hierarchal culture, it morphs a hostile existence unless you share a higher membership.. Truly horrendous, lovely country, but there are reasons why so many Brits leave seeking a more equal and less exclusive climate..

I’m from France, did my studies in Birmingham and then Liverpool. My girlfriend is also from France, but did her studies in London. Now we are in Scotland. I can understand easily the Scottish accent while my girlfriend is really struggling with it 😅

Wow! Great lesson about accents. This was very useful for me. Thank you 🙏

I looooove your accents videos! Please make more of these🙏

Congratulations for your video! I'm an ESL teacher in my country and everything you said and showed is quite important for learners.

Accents Of Languages. Beautiful to listen to enjoy.

It’s clear that after listen this great video I understand a little bit more the diversity of english languages all over UK. Good!!!

Thank you for making this incredible class available to us.🇧🇷

that is brilliant for me that I am new in the UK. you gave me a lot of for learning the world's mother language

Laura, Oh my goodness, you are amazing, ive just moved to the uk. I never understood the different accents easily, you made it a lot easier for me, you are absolutely amazing

Thanks for the tips Laura. Btw i like how diligently u make things clear. My request, pls make a collab video wid 'Lucy' if possible. We wud luv both of u sharing ur knowledge together. ❤❤❤

Hill-arious 1st 5 seconds, got me mornin' laugh, Thanks!

Thank you for a really wonderful and educational video. I really struggled to understand the origins of different UK accents but you have helped me to do so. I grew up in Gravesend and found my first job north of Aberdeen, I had to really tune into their way of saying things.

I falled in love. Amazing professor

I love all the accents and respect as well but the way you speak is totally brilliant.

Heavenly episode and awesome explanation.

Thanks a lot for this amazing video. I enjoyed a and learned and couldn't stop watching till the end.

To be honest I m still struggling delving in to the accents , after many years of learning English. As a Dutchman , Rhotic accent helps for me , really spells it out. You are a great teacher Laura, and I love this gem of a video , you nailed it. Overwhelming quality, and all these tips are amazing and work for me .

Even as a native UK English speaker, mostly northern RP but can naturally slip into the Yorkshire accent, these videos are so entertaining. It's unbelievable how many different accents they are here. There's a distinct difference between a Derby and Nottingham accent and yet they are 20km/13 miles away.

No doubt, I fell in ❤ with your way of teaching 😊

Youre really a good teacher.

Great lesson for learners of British English accent. I appreciated .I am improving my English language .This your You Tube lesson is really for me, I can easily understand from your lesson. Thank you so much teacher.

Amazing vlog, very informative. Keep up the good work.

You are so right. I studied English more or less 13 years and it's really difficult for me to understand UK accents. Probably because we are flooded with American accents - films, music, etc. It's just a matter of practice I suppose.
