    I know it's kinda silly, but, I've been feeling quite comfortable with this accent. I learned American-English when I was a child, and to about the age of 8 no-one noticed I was a foreigner; then as time passed by I lost my edge because of the lack of practice, and when someone called out the flaws in my accent it hit hard. So now, I find it easier to hide my accent behind this thick one, and the slight r-rolling is really fluid in casual conversations! Teaching slowly.... now that's another story....

    A great explanation. I left Brum in 1965 to go to Uni, as they say now. I was last back home in 2004 and went to the place where I learnt to drink beer. I couldn't understand a word a guy said to me. Strange as I was brought up on a council estate. I have been told that when I become agitated the Brummie comes out of my mouth.!

    The Birmingham vowels sound like our vowels in brazilian portuguese. Specially the "i" and the "u". That's very interesting. Thanks for the video! Cheers from Brasil :)

    When I was staying at Wrightington Medical Center where Sir Charnley developed his famous surgical procedures and devices and my friend and I went over to Wigan and met some girls. We could not understand one word they said their Wigan accent was so different. I am from USA and my friend is from Birmingham but literally could not understand them. They could understand us so we had a fun dinner together but it was a real experienced. Thanks for your videos. They are both fun and educational.

    I have a fairly weak Birmingham accent but it's there, my sister as a stronger one. Despite never living too far apart from each other or leaving the city. Most people I know, including myself, drop a lot of the t's at the end or middle of the words. So not just soft t's, but pretty much not there. I dunno inconsistent t's. I remember visiting New York City a few years ago and the first bar we walk into, I talk to the bar tender and the guy sitting there turns around to us and asks if we were from Birmingham. From my accent a lot of fellow Brummies can't detect much. Turns out he has family from Coventry and he occasionally visits these cities.

    If you can understand Irish, you will understand Peaky Blinders, as the characters in peaky blinders do not speak in a Brummie accent, they speak with an Irish Accent, take it from a Brummie who thinks peaky Blinders is just a joke and it is not even filmed in Birmingham.

    ​@@peterwilliamallen1063How did you expect them to film it in Birmingham? The Birmingham depicted in the show was completely destroyed and/or built over. Of course they had to film elsewhere, it's not exactly realistic to build half a city in sets.

    Es curioso como este acento se asemeja a la forma que tenemos los latinos al pronunciar el inglés. El but con la u pronunciada, el fit con la i acentuada, la h muda, la manía mexicana de sobre-acentuar el "sh" o "tsh", el ocultar la r en palabras antes de un consonante se conoce desde que se habla el inglés británico. En fin, por su pollo que voy a adoptar este acento si la manera de hablarlo suena muy parecido al español-alemán
