🎉I MADE A COVER OF ADELE SET FIRE TO THE RAIN❤️🎉

I'm a Londoner but in the early 70s I lived in Manchester. From time to time I would travel to London for business meetings and stay with family and visit with friends. On returning north my Mancunian friends and work colleagues would remark on how I had reverted to a London accent (an how unintelligible I was 😄) So, without realising it, I was modifying my speech for my northern life but it only took 3 or 4 days to switch back.

Tom, I'm German, and when I went to university, I studied German literature and linguistics. There was one professor whose thesis (I hope this is the right word) was called "Der flexible Sprecher", which can be translated as "The flexible speaker", and it was an investigation of master craftsmen of a certain region of Germany. He proved that those men switched their dialect and accents according to the people they were talking to. With family they used their local (strong) dialect, and the more official their conversation partner became, the more "standard German" their language became. It they were talking to customers (i.e. wanted to sell something), they adjusted to the customer's language. It was a fascinating book!

that's called social intelligence. you want to be understood as easily as possible when speaking to someone who speaks differently than you so you make an effort to calm your accent down.

I'm also a teacher. I grew up speaking French as I'm from Quebec, the main French speaking part of Canada. I now live in the west part of the country where English is the main language. I teach in a French school where other teachers are from all over. France, North Africa, Belgium, Quebec, Switzerland, etc. The way I speak when I'm at work is closer to standard French but when I go back home, the accent and way of speaking I grew up with comes back really fast! I loved this video; it was fascinating. Adele is the best! So humble and spontaneous. Keep up with the good work. Cheers! x

Oh my! Luckily, I am not the only one who feel this way. Growing up in AU and living in US now has changed me accent rapidly. I've adapted american way of speaking but most times my natural character comes out and me kids and husband always tease me, in a fun way not to degrade me. When I do speak with me family, old habits come out so speaking with an AU accent or just australian with american accent is normal.

Great job!! I'm an English teacher, as well as a pronunciation nerd and accent lover so you definitely made my day with this.

Because of my mother's illness, I had to live for two years with my two grandparents, who spoke English with Norwegian accents. People say I have a strong Midwestern influence in my accent, so much so that they doubt I was born and raised in New York City. I have never lived in the Midwest, but a Midwestern accent was preferred, if not demanded, by radio and television stations at that time( the early 1950s) and I imagine that I learned my English from the radio. But one New York City(and environs) thing remains and that is the pronunciation of middle tees. Words such as bottom, little and rattle, or any word with a tee in the middle, are made into a dee in most of the US, but in metropolitan New York they are swallowed, so to speak. They don't disappear, they almost do. It is a very soft glottal tee, very different from the Cockney, lacking the Cockney hitch. It seems that no matter how hard we try to speak standard American English we can't get rid of it. It is as much a proof of origin as the way Canadians say -out words give them away. I often wonder whether this New York thing is related to the early Dutch settlers or to the prolonged British military occupation during the Revolutionary War. New York, by the way, at one time, had dozens of neighborhood accents. By the time I had reached my junior year at the City College of New York(1964), I could identify over thirty different neighborhood dialects, dialects that were determined not only by the ethnic identities of the inhabitants but by who preceded them in that neighborhood. For example, I had always wondered why there was an Irish influence in the accents of Norwegians, Germans, and Italians from Bay Ridge in Brooklyn- until I went there and noticed that amongst the oldest storefronts there was, invariably, a bar with an Irish name.

Yes! I believe this is known as “code switching”. President Clinton does it often; switching between a southern accent and a standard American accent. Personally, I have a very standard American accent (like a newscaster) until I’m either angry or very rushed; then I sound like the Brooklyn girl I really am.

But when she was on the phone with my grandmother or when we visited Drenthe she would always switch to her native accent. A lot of my family members live there.

I used to have a really heavy cockney accent growing up as I'm also from London but after moving here in Greece (been living here for over 10 years now) I felt the need to change my accent, the terms we use for certain words (like instead of crisps I say chips, etc.) and let go of some old habits when speaking English because people were having a hard time understanding me, even my husband. I now lean on RP more but sometimes the cockney in me comes out when I'm rushing to say something :D

i lived in mexico fer 14 months and naturally when i was speaking english (i speak spanish too) to people who didn't speak english as a first language i always toned it down, mellowed my accent, used less slang, etc. that's natural so you can be more easily understood. it's also considerate.

yes, I liked it!! It is such a good idea to study from the actual conversation!

This was so helpful! I work with a lot of British people and my accent is all over the place. It really helped to break it down and categorize it

Tom, this video is CLASS. Fanks so much.

"Ain't" is used frequently here in the Southern US as well as glottal stops or d's for t's and schwa vowels at the ends of words. Thanks for the entertaining videos!

My mother tongue is English, but I love watching your videos because of how engaging you are and the depth of your explanations.

Thank you so much for making this video, i was looking forward to it.

Great video! I'm Bilingual (English & Greek), and in both languages, I'm a bit Bi-dialectal too. I speak in what most people say is an international English accent. I grew up in West London (Chiswick) until I was 8, so I spoke with quite a posh English accent until then. At 8 years old, my parents moved the family to Athens, Greece. Cos I couldn't speak Greek very well, I was sent to an American International School in Greece. As I have a strong ear, within a few years, picked up an American accent. Classmates would ask me if I was from the North East of the US when they'd hear me talk. When I finished High School at 18, I then moved back to the UK to attend Uni, and my accent changed again and went back towards British English. Now it's in between British English, and American English. It's not a Lloyd Grossman accent though, it's softer than that, and I can switch between accents if I so choose! It's the same with my Greek & Cypriot accents too! :)

Marvellous ❤️ You remind me of my 'social urban dialectology' class back 5 years ago. Much love to Adele ❤️

This video is just fantastic! Thank you for sharing it! Can't wait for the next one.

I was very surprised when I first heard Adele speaking!! I didn't expect that accent. This video is brilliant. I'm spanish and I've lived in London 11 years, fascinating

This video reminds me of my first couple of months after I moved to London. I was pretty confident with my level of English till a work collgue asked me in a pure cockney accent "Are you all right?" I froze for few seconds nodded and walked away having no clue what had he just said. Where were consonants? Or being in M&S and the cashier asking me "Do you want a 5p bag? " Luckly enough I understood "Do you" and "bag" parts. Now everything is way easier even if I still here my collgue s use some slang I still don't know. Long story short, your videos would have been really helpful back then but I do enjoy them now as well and can still learn a few things even if I live in London. Cheers!

I live in Texas. I am originally from New Jersey. I watch and listen to so many British youtubers I find myself borrowing British phrases and names for things. This makes sense for me because it sounds better than the phrases we have here. I feel more comfortable when I say what I have to say without having to explain or repeat myself. I will pronounce words like a person would in England. This is something I try not to do, but it happens most days. I don't realize that I do it until someone points it out.

Loved this video. Actually, at the end of the video, you said "Adew" twice. It just matched what you said, about the context and how free you feel at the moment of speaking. This really helps me, and so does to my students. Fank you! 😁

Hello Tom, Thanks for the amazing video! Yes, I do agree that our accents shift from context to context. I was born and grew up in Taiwan. English isn’t my mother tongue, but because of my great passion for language learning, I crossed the border of monolingualism and became a bilingual(mandarin and English) I’ve been exposed to mostly American accent growing up; however, I grow more and more fond of British accents as an adult(due to my late burgeoning interest in Harry Potter) I do notice the subtle to moderate change in my accent when I shift from one context to another. When I feel confident/professional(when explaining things), a higher dosage of British accent comes up whereas when I feel lazy and sluggish, American accent is at its full force. As a non-native speaker of English, I’m always aware of my accent speaking English, as I’ve grown intuitive to monitor my production of this language. I always say that for non-native speakers, their acquired accents are just like their teeth after braces, whose shapes are forced by artificial means, not natural. Therefore, it’s necessary for them to maintain the shape of their teeth, or, their achieved accents with certain degree of awareness.

I looove your videos !! It makes everything more clear to understand! Keep doing this!

I love the way you analyze the symptoms in her accent. I used to be obsessed with her cockney accent and learned a lot about the main features of it, trying hard to demonstrate them on my own. Some people assume that I have a British/South African accent, which I simply have no idea but always drawn myself into random/wild varieties of accents(typically British I suppose). As a second language learner, I feel like my accent is KINDA wild and the only thing I can do is able to pronounce words in a more accurate way.

I giggled and answered "Belfast" although I was born and raised in Germany to Irish parents...but cousins have a great impact on you. I just couldn't have explained in such a short time that I never lived in Northern Ireland at all.

Thank you for this interesting video, Tom! I think it would be a good idea to listen to the royals, particularly comparing the old generation's accents with the younger one, such as prince William and Harry

Love this! I have always been fascinated by Adele's accent! Also, I def adjust my accent depending on where I am. I'm born and raised in Wisconsin but when I lived in other states I softened my accent for sure, otherwise people would constantly point it out. Even when I did that, sometimes people still did though. When I moved back home it was so nice to just let my natural accent rip and nobody blinks an eye!

I love when she is just being herself and not thoughtfully editing herself. Love love love her natural accent and that infectious laugh.

Fascinating, thank you. I love British accents. I'm originally from New Orleans, and the movies always get the accent wrong (actually there are several accents in New Orleans). At some point in my teens I decided I needed to speak "more properly" and I tried to standardize my accent a bit. Now I live in Texas and I have those hard "R"s.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm so in love with Adele's accent and now you enable me to understand also the great palette of opportunities to use different accents to not only adopt to different social environments but also to express yourself in different ways depending on how you feel or how you wont to be seen.

Yo los que no entiendo son los de Inglaterra del norte e Irlanda, osea eso me parece incomprensible, usan un montón de palabras diferentes y es casi otro dialecto especialmente Irlanda.

For fun, I once learned to put on an Irish accent. My friend from Scotland came over to visit and it just came back out. I didn't do it on purpose that time.

My accent has *definitely* changed because of my environment and people I've been around. I am an American expat and have been living in Asia for seven years. My friends back home notice vowel shifts and other differences in the way I speak, vs how I spoke before I left the US. I'd say my vocabulary and syntax have changed a bit, as well.

Theory and practice at the same time, excellent!!

love your video!! so clear! Thank you so much! and hopefully more video like this, it helps a lot! I really don't understand what Adele said before, I find Cockney is so differenced from Received Pronunciation. Now I may start to understand more.

Hi, Tom! Greetings from your fan in Poland. I speak a very mid-Atlantic English. In Poland we are usually taught British English and RP is considered the model pronunciation most English learners want to achieve. However, I spent a few months in California as a teen and I watch a lot of American shows and films, so I am deeply influenced by it. To make matters more complicated, my favourite country is Canada and if I could choose I'd love to speak Canadian English:) (I know there's no one Canadian accent!) So I speak a mixture and I used to be very self-conscious about it. Now I'm learning to accept that. The way I speak reflects my personal story, doesn't it?

It's a funny difference once again. Americans would say "drunk off my ass" instead of "drunk off my face". The cockney, and a couple of other accents, are very reminiscent of several American Southern accents, but then, that's where many aspects of the American Southern accent in general came from originally. I've always thought that American Southerners, if they're paying attention, will more easily understand the thicker British accents than those in the Northern US, but that's just my opinion. My father was a lay clergyman in the US here when he was alive, so my siblings and I always had to make sure we spoke properly when he was around, especially when adults with whom he was friends were also in listening distance, so I can relate to your experience with your grandmother. I love this kind of analysis. It would be difficult to find someone who changes accent so frequently, I think. If I think of anyone that might be a good candidate for analysis, I'll let you know. :)

Check out the "Liverpool accent girl" video!

Really-really enjoy such your videos with the analysis of a daily British speech!

Good explanation, thank you !

I would love to see you doing Learn English with Her Majesty the Queen or The Royal Family. ;)

Great idea Ariel, I think Jamie Oliver would be great

You also do the glottal 't' thing!! 😂 I noticed!!

Great video! I am trying to learn how to speak like Adele for a musical show I am doing. I lived in Toronto until I was 11. My mother is from Michigan and we moved to Michigan when I was 11. My accent (and my brother and sister’s accent) DEFINITELY changes depending on where we are. It changes slightly at first, but can quickly adapt (within days) I also love to learn languages and accents and I tend to do what Adele does, which is to switch back and forth between formal (received) and informal pronunciation in the middle of conversations, depending on what I am saying. I liked the observation that she knows how to control her pronunciation, and when she is off her guard, her cockney comes out. I found this video so informative.
