A few times when I was in London I thought,”I can tell this person is speaking English, but I have no idea what they are saying.” Just because two people speak the same language doesn’t mean communication will be easy. 😂

[@raychat2816]

You’re right, I can relate as well when it comes to Arabic, in some instances, Arabic speakers of different regions will find themselves having to speak English because chances are the English they both will have learnt will be similar, more so than trying to decipher each’s regional Arabic, especially if from another continent or a far away culture 😂😂 although if time is not of the essence, it’s often fun

[@a1smith]

That's ok in London, cockneys rarely say anything interesting or relevant, 😉

[@boxtradums0073]

As a Scottish person I can understand any native speakers accent. I’m bilingual (tri if you count scots) and once you’ve learned another language you can pick apart accents and languages.

As a Yank I love British accents. But this vid definitely needs a part 2: Bristol/West Country, Cornwall (English not Cornish), Yorkshire, East Anglian, and some of the Midlands dialects like Derby and Brummie/ Black Country

[@vlandorrackhum5420]

Loved the roasting at the end xD

[@Fledermausmann]

The best part of this, for me, is the fact that whoever is doing the subtitles is often completely confounded by the accents as well and just regularly writes the wrong translation. It's not a nick pick btw, it just really drives home the point of this video hahahah I'm also curious as to whether the Americans would fare decently in this, i.e. identifying Brit accents from across the UK. I'd wager a lot of money that they wouldn't do that well... despite the fact that (I'd presume) those who come on this show are fairly exposed to such accents... (well they'd be more familiar than your average person. Presumably).

[@pjschmid2251]

I wish I could have actually heard the speakers and it would be fun to see what they said in text because as an American, I couldn’t understand anything and I would have liked to know where these accents come from. The videos are not as interesting as they could be because I don’t think you are thinking much about your audience and are just focused on yourselves and having fun. Which is cool but it could be so much better.

[@axhx3330]

Amazing video!!!!

[@natalia-gl9lp]

I only got the Geordie one, and only because I recognised the interview it was from💪

[@cheeesysandwich]

The way this video was edited is so confusinggg. At first, you have no idea why they're looking to the side sometimes, then, we can't hear what someone is saying off camera, so suddenly there's a cut to their reaction to something someone said and we have no idea what happened. Also, we can't see the video they're watching so it makes it so confusing when their mouths are not moving but the sound is playing and after some recordings finish, there are cuts to them speaking and it's hard to realize it so quickly.

[@carolej339]

I'm surprised they called that Geordie accent strong. As someone who lived up there for a while, I thought it was a pretty weak accent!

[@RobertHeslop]

Aye hinge it is canny weak, compared to me ma and da

[@julesjanesson]

actually jade thirlwall (the girl spoke in the clip) has thick geordie accent. since she was on a radio of bbc, somehow she'd got to weaken her accent so that people could understand what she was talking bout. you might find many videos on youtube which contain clips of her (and another group member - perrie) real thick geordie accent.

[@NorthernSimmer__]

I didn't pick up on it being Jade tbh . Considering I'm from County Durham I haven't really got a strong accent

[@hansantonio110]

how many accents in the uk? so different with lesson in my school...

[@EddieReischl]

Scouse, think Beatles, especially George, but you always have to remember they were trying to speak so Americans could understand them, so they'd slow it down and take the edges off it. Cockney, I think Roger Daltrey of the Who, I think they're Middlesex, but towards the east end. Glaswegian, AC/DC, but you have to remember they spent some time in Australia. Birmingham, Black Sabbath. Irish, U2. Welsh, Tom Jones. I always struggle with Geordie and Yorkshire, because I can't think of bands off the top of my head with those accents, maybe some of you from the UK can suggest some.

[@cpj93070]

Nah im sorry but The Beatles lost their accent's early on.

[@emilyinnetherlands5295]

Nice video ❤ For non British people, it would really help if there is map or just some text to say which location it is from

[@boxtradums0073]

If you want to be able to tell the difference between an English accent and a Scottish accent group listen to how the R’s are pronounced. In England they dont roll them but in Scotland they do. Also an A in the middle of a word is pronounced like an A in ‘laat’.

No, the most attractive is Middle-class, Received Pronunciation (RP), Like Beneddict Cumberbatch, Jude Law, or Tom Hiddleston. You are mistaking that for aristocratic like the Queen, or Boris Johnson, or Jacob Rees Mogg.Received pronunciation is far more common, thankfully. Listen to many of the parasitic, idiotic politicians in Prime Minister's questions (Especially the Queen and those politicians Mentioned) , and compare that to those actors, and you will notice the big difference. Aristocrats have an "affected" more effete accent, which is artificial Sounding and irritating

[@Haaarley]

It's due to the fact that only until relatively recently, Most people in England never left their home town. This meant that local accents developed almost completely independently. Americans were always expanding into new land and their accents come from the melting pot of people who spoke different languages migrating to particular areas rather than due to isolation.
