6 Weird Things Proper Yorkshire People Say

[@MensGymnasticsAnalysis]

I just love the Yorkshire accent! It sounds so lovely and polite. And cool at the same time

[@themajesticbulldog3832]

Not every Yorkshireman says toneet that’s more Barnsley in South Yorkshire however if you live in Doncaster (also in South Yorkshire) like me you’ll notice we say tonight or it goes more like “t’night” I’m actually from Pontefract in West Yorkshire but grew up in Donny

[@loquidity4973]

Love it, Joe! Yes, share more.

[@lukasm6905]

I love Yorkshire and their culture and accent

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks a lot, mate! As a Yorkshireman, that's a huge compliment!

[@theyorkshireladyoyo]

I am yorkshire born and bred and I speak with a very very strong dialect I’m not far from Barnsley

[@amywong6755]

Excellent Teacher! We always learn a lot at his English Class. Amy From China.

[@leahook258]

We use 'n'all' a lot in the Gloucestershire accent, we also use the word 'mind' at the end of nearly every sentence, and I have heard it a lot on Emmerdale, any ideas what that 'mind' is all about and where it came from, mind?

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Interesting, mind! Cheers, Lea!

[@sarahthompson7946]

Really good. Helpful. Wish actors listened to this.

[@andrewreed4904]

Listenin' to thee, fair cheered missen oop. I'm in Cornwall now and when I stray into "Yorkshire" dialect it is often confusing to the locals. I asked for a coke in the local pub and was asked why I wanted a cork?

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Hahahaha, cheers for the comment! How strong's your accent?

[@andrewreed4904]

@@JoeMilneEnglish Cheers to you too. Well, mine is not so strong, and wi'me teaching a technical subject, it has moved more to a kind of "Yorkshirist RP", but my Dads' was reight strong and it brings back many happy memories when I'm reminded of his voice and pronunciation.

[@theyorkshireladyoyo]

All thi alreight t neight I say all of these words I am yorkshire born and bred and my dielect people say it is strong and people can’t understand me

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

love it!

[@joanagoncalves4205]

Hi Joe! I would like to know more about where do you work and how can someone have classes with you. How can we get in touch?

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Hey Joana, sure. Please email me at [e-mail]

[@loquidity4973]

So, instead of "anything" and "nothing," they say "aught" and "naught" in northern England? I wonder if they also do that in the Borders region of Scotland.

only yorkshire i know is the yorkshire pudding...LOL

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

One of the best Yorkshire things!!!

[@heatherwoodley8244]

I'm sorry, but 'wa' - is NOT 'were'. It's 'Was', just wi'out t' 'S'. I know, cos ahm from Yorkshire an'all. And in most parts, it'd be pronounced like 'Ah wo'rappy' = I was happy.

[@sarakoujji6654]

I believe the way you pronunced "help" like /'elp/ if I'm not mistaken, but something was different

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

That's definitely one! Good catch!

[@teachersonnyd]

Yorkshire people are great!

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

I agree! Haha!

Joe are you still at TutorABC, I've been teaching for iTutorGroup for nearly half a decade. Last year they suddenly decided to force me to sign a new contract with a base pay cut and a new bonus scheme which reduced my pay by almost 40%. My ratings were over 9.6 after teaching over 7000 lessons. I hesitated to sign the contract, they reduced my number of bookings, I then hesitantly signed the new contract, nothing changed in my bookings. Out of the blue, they sent me an e-mail saying they will not be renewing my contract and now my account has been deactivated. I had given so much to this company and I find the way they treated me extremely unfair. If you are still at TutorABC could you at least share what is going on?

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

I'm just a teacher and trainer there, I don't really know any more than you do. You can write to [e-mail]
