I think Beckham's English (now) is a lot more understandable to me as non-native English speaker, compared to his young age English.

Great speech analysis of pronunciation. I'm from Wembley originally, so I have a NW London twang to my accent. Over time, through travel, work and now teaching English, I have modified my accent to try and speak more clearly to non-native listeners. As a result, I too have gone through similar pronunciation changes. Mind you, whenever I'm talking to my old friends from London, then within seconds the colloquialisms, slurring of words and the odd Cockney rhyming slang come out ;-)

Man, the cockney accent is very hard to be understood. U know, even tough I am a native Portuguese speaker, I have a hard time when I talk to Portugueses, especially some people from specific parts of Portugal.

You outdid all the other English lessons with this. Really amazing and modern. So unique! Thank you so much for all of your lessons. Keep up the good work for us, please.

Watching many footages of yours, I'm beginning to get the hang of Londoners' accents and I'm chuffed. Cheers!

Your videos are great! I've been watching all of them. They allow me to go beyond the barriers of the normal structure of the language. Well done! 👏👏👏👏

Fascinating video. There's always something to learn and improve ourselves from content like this. Love from 🇮🇳

This lesson is really interesting. Please make others like that.

Tom, fascinating video! I loved it! Do you know, when I started watching English KZread videos to support my listening skills, I started with videos having to do with baking and cooking, because that's what I'm interested in. I came upon Jamie Oliver's "FoodTube", and there I met some great different English accents! I most of all love Cupcake Jemma, I can understand every single word she says because she speaks so fabulously clearly. Then there is Donal Skehan with his adorable Irish accent (but one that is easy to understand). I love those two. In some older videos there is a Londoner called KerryAnn Dunlop, and she has such a strong Cockney accent! It's so funny to me when she says "toma-oes" for example! :-) And my last example are the Chiappas, they are from Wales, but their family is from Italy. Such a cute accent! And I must really say, it helped me a lot watching all these videos! I would recommend it to everyone: watch videos about a topic you like! (By the way, I learned the word 'chuffed' from a guy called Andrew who was a contestant in the "Great British Bake-Off" a few years ago. He used it all the time, and so I looked it up and found out what it means.)

Interesting video. Just to add, I also grew up in North London and do speak similar to Becks how he did in his younger days but I know others do this too and adjust the way they speak, depending who they are talking to. In a more professional type of situation like a job interview, speaking to a bank manager or someone with authority I do really clean up the way I speak and switch it up almost RP like, not quite the same but sort of. With work friends and family I just revert to type and have that North London twang. Same like If I go on holiday, I have to clean up the way I talk so I'm better understood. Becks has lived in the states a good while and he wouldn't really be understood all that well if he spoke in his usual way. So it's likely he's had to polish it up a bit to be better understood out there. I wouldn't be surprised if he kinda just goes in and out of the two and depending who he's talking to, rather than an actual change to a more posh way of speaking.

Thanks Martha, yeah it's a good question. I think certainly in terms of our vocabulary choice we are influenced by the films, TV, music and books we consume and I think to a certain extent that is also true of our accents. Do you think your accent has evolved?

I love your channel. I come from Switzerland, in the UK for 2 years and as I'm an actress I'm really interested at learning accents. (I've spend a year in Hampstead and a year in Hastings) I might say I can already see a mix of received, multi, Cockney and Southy showing up in addition to my french accent who I'm trying hard to make disappear . (It is useful to flirt ahahha not to work though) Cheers mate. Great work. Really helpful. Take care N.

Regards and blessings everyone!! Awesome mait!! 🌺

Accent changes as you move place to live, change people you mingle with I guess. Great video, anyway!

Great video! A similar analysis about Gallagher brothers (Oasis) and the lads from The Grand Tour would be awesome..

I've always thought the similarities between the accents in the Southern United States and the london accent were pretty funny. I mean we use different slangs and dialects obviously, but the connotations in which they're used is extremely similar. Especially in the Appalachian areas of the South. You should look into those accents and do a comparison video. Lol

My Glaswegian friend is happy about your remark

Tom - just wanted to point out because your video seems to suggest otherwise - dropping the final 't' is by no means unique to Cockney; I'm from Birmingham originally and we would do exactly the same but with a Brummie accent. I think it's just a common feature of regional, non-standard English.

@blessedslave

3 жыл бұрын

Not just the final t mate, almost all 't's except may be at the start.

Really interesting!!

The dropping of the h depends on the speed of the sentence being spoken most of the time, the quicker the speed the more likely the h will drop.

I'll wait for your next video with Grace 😍

The change in his pitch may be filters, EQ etc. Or different microphones, maybe with more basier frequencies or whateveryou call taht stuff. These sorts of things can really change the sound of a voice significantly.

So good!

These Beckhams have noticeably different position of their heads. The young one raises face up. In this position the throat is stretched forward and become tight, thus the higher pitch. The old one raises nape up. This makes the spine be more straight, and throat become wider, thus the lower pitch. You can try it yourself easily :) I've just recently learned it in my voice classes. The latter straight position has many benefits like voice strength and less tensions, but younger people tend to have screaming/yelling position.

A fellow language geek says, "Great analysis, Tom."

You did a great job! It's fab!

thank you...love beckham...

I grew up (Alaska) saying the word 'often' with a strong 't' sound. I was severely corrected from someone from the East Coast. So I dropped the 't'. Is it considered more posh, or upper class to drop the 't' sound? And say of'en?

👍👍👍 super interesting

Your eyebrows are mesmerizing!

We pronounce the word 'Like' as 'Lite' as well and use the glottal stop and drop the 't' when saying it lol You hear Becks do this right at the beginning.

I like to hear people talking in cockney accent even though it can be hard for me sometimes ! Thanks Tom.

Thanks so much dear Teacher Tom for clarifying on the grammatical mistake of using ‘there’s’ referring to plural nouns in sentences . It’s so much used by American English speakers. There are girls at the party’ NOT ‘There’s girls at the party’. 🙏🏽

I think here 11:12 the way he pronounces "other" /ʌvə/ is way more noticeable than the way he pronounced "well". Can't help loving the Londoner accent!!

At 11:11 my ears hear u-vuh for other which is how a cockney would pronounce it. Im surprised you didnt mention it.

David Beckham mixed a lot in my head. I started learning English in the early 90's and had no idea about accents. I couldn't understand why he'd spoken differently than in school.

Brilliant!, I only have a doubt, I thought "There's a few benefits" was ok because after the "there is" we have an "a", so, is it really wrong?

This guys accent has bits of MLE (Multicultural London English) sneaking in, the way he says "de" instead of "the" and the way says "like" with the almost double ii, "liike", prolonging the middle of the word.

Fascina'in' 😊
