Rp: moTHEH, braTHEH, faaTHEH cockney: MOWAH, BRAWAH, FARWAH

I understood every word your father said. He is a very respectable man.

I actually understand everything she said lol

Funny story- 3 days in London in 2022 has cursed me with the accent for life.

i knew bosh made no sense but fuck me if thats how you say boss hahah

This video excellent ! I love it❤

The worst language in the world.

I grew up in Canada and I struggle to understand what she says. Actually, some British dialects are too hard to understand. When I was watching Game of Thrones I always needed subtitles on to understand what they said...when it comes to American movies it is SOOOO easy to understand all the words.

I actually understood every word.....I must watch a lot of pommy tv shows lol

What's the point of this, he's perfectly understandable.🤔

Normal speech to me. His accent isn't even that strong.

Is it still English language? They sound like animals.

I have understood him at 85%,good job👍👍👍👍👍

I totally agree with your dad, what a wonderful guy!!! Great video💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Thank you very much for the video. It was helpful but for some reason I still can't do the traditional th sound; I am Nigerian and we are so used to saying the th sound like the Irish t and d. It was also easy for me to imitate you when you did the cockney f and v but I just can't get my tongue to say the proper th sound as it should be. Any thoughts?

It was so lovely and helpful to me. I was very chuffed about it. Please could you make some more. I am trying make my thick Nigerian accent more proper and british and your lesson was very helpful! Please make more! God bless you!

Sorry you're British

English my 2nd language and I can understand your dad 100%. The cockney I have heard was almost a different language...I could hardly understand anything, and talking on the phone my understanding was absolute zero.

Although british english has various dialects and accents comparing one variant of british accent is pointless as Northerner scotmaman, a Welsh man and a brummie speak very different.

I'm a Somerset boy and I can't say he sounds much like someone from the west country

I understood it all.

I'm Norwegian, and I understood him fine. But of course, I've never heard of the alternative meanings of "apples and pears" and "plates of meat." That was quite interesting. Seems like a really nice guy, your dad.

I don’t really think he says bosh…most like “boss”

I really enjoyed this video. Your dad is very likeable and a very interesting person. I am a Canadian whose only language is English and I understood him completely and easily. I was surprised by this. I think I was confusing a Cockney accent like your dad has with Cockney rhyming slang. Thanks to you and your dad for sharing 😊.

I learned ' Scouse' by watching ' Brookside '. 😅

5:48 Can someone transcribes the numbers 461 and 504 the exact way he pronouncied, please? 🥺

As a French who is learning British accents, my favourite and easiest accent to understand is modern RP (the one I am trying to use when speaking). I can understand Cockney, Scottish, and some southern accents if the people don't talk too quickly. Brummie, Geordie, Scouse, I haven't study them yet so it's still difficult for me to understand. It's crazy as a small country has so many accents. We don't have that in France 😅.

Mate, that's not even a cockney accent.

I lived in York for a few months a couple decades ago. It was a struggle to understand some accents there. Your dad is very easy to understand.

Perfectly normal norf London gel chatting- who has problems understanding?

There’s loads of British accents I’m from Lancashire and if you spoke like him you’d get the piss taken out of you 😂😂😂😂😂

As he relaxes you can hear the cockney. Still easily understandable. But its the slang that people would struggle with.

97.4% of all statistics are made up.

Norway here, easy to understand :)

Its most helpful to enhance listening and understanding natives. The prases explanation, pop up on screen which remained most helpful. I appreciate.

There’s no Cockneys anymore, they were cleansed.

Who is this video for ? The gentleman has a London accent but I would say not cockney. Although saying that my father was cockney born within the sound of Bow Bells but was evacuated in the war as a child out of London. So where was the gentleman born ?? It's not all about accent. To be Cockney the requirement was to be Born within the sound of Bow Bells in St Mary le Bow church in Cheapside East London. Apparently it is far harder to actually be Born a Cockney nowadays as most buildings in the area are not housing and there is now no maternity hospital located within the range of the Bow Bells.

I understand it all!

If you're teaching English you should say my dad and me.

In Malaysia, we pronounce adidas and puma in British accent, nike in American accent. Or is it just me doing this way?

All of it but then I'm from Liverpool and the kids talking shite by the way !

Where's the part where I can't understand him.

all clear to me. no big deal being from Denmark. In fact I speak a bit like that when I speak english

Everyone knows 94.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

London dominates everything in Britain. You will hear a Southern accent on Media ages before a northern one. This has been evened out quite for largely PC reasons, but I’ve NEVER met anyone who can’t understand a cockney. It is just roughly spoken English. For unintelligibility, try McDuff in Scotland, which is ironically on the same coast as the most perfectly enunciated English you will ever hear, in Inverness.
