Gabby is speaking as a midwesterner would. you should feature a Texan or a Southerner from Louisiana or from the boondocks of Florida. hehe... that would be quite interesting.

[@BasedEngineer]

This is not a Midwestern accent, it's more so considered "neutral" the type you would hear on the news. People from Minnesota who have Minnesotan accents speak very different from Gabby.

[@mattmexor2882]

@@BasedEngineer Yes, she sound nothing like most people from Minnesota. I would guess she's from Ohio or something, by listening to her. That doesn't mean that her accent is necessarily like an Ohioan accent, but if I had to guess where she were from that's what I'd come up with. Maybe it's just because her accent is bland and Ohio is the blandest place I can think of :D

[@taylort2255]

A little bit! I’m from Ohio and we sound different from her. A little mixture of Jersey Minnesota and what they call “neutral”. When I say “mom” sometimes it sounds like “mam” lol. My aunts is way more strong! They sound closer to a Minnesota accent actually lol

U csn tell ur from India u use the word ACTUALLY way too much you only shoud use it when you are correcting something or somebody or here we say i beg ur pardon and correct ourselfs by starting with the word actually so Don't use it where its NOT needed it makes u sound like the other person is WRONG and u are correcting them SO ACTUALLY DONT USE actually

[@tali6696]

When u start of with the word ACTUALLY Which 85% of Indians do in a sentence it makes you sound LIKE Mr know it all and everybody is wrong and ACCUALLY you are Right because you started your sentence with ACCUALLY... The word actually means correction e.g No its not this but its that. Or ACCUALLY its this but not that you see where im coming from so please pleass use it in its correct manner thank u.

[@gamerleague2310]

it's so funny how Britishers avoid pronounce the letter "r" and Americans avoid the letter "t", I think that i am mixing the two accents when i speak

[@yusufgta4341]

Not all Americans say the R sound. Us new yorkers don't pronounce the R's at the end of words which is non rhotic speech. Also, people from Boston have heavy accents as well and don't say the R's either. New York accent is very distinctive to other American accents. General American is very rhotic with the R sounds while the New York accent is non rhotic not saying the R sound or having flat r sounds. New York pronounces dog,caught, colfee,and mother as dawg,cawght,cawfee,and motha. New York accent is much heavier than other American accents except Boston accent.

[@yusufgta4341]

The NY accent is fading away sadly. General American accent is heavily influenced and taking over the US now causing regional accents to die out.

[@serenityq26]

that is so not an american thing more of a new england thing. im from florida and we pronounce our ts. its interesting not inneresting lol i never got that. there are even areas where they pronounce it intresting as if the e isnt there. just like there are different accents in great britain there is also many accents in the states with many different rules and different sounds for letters. one thing i always heard growing up is the dropping of r and replacing t with k. skreet instead of street, and stoe instead of store. but that is just a sountern thing not all of america

[@EnglishLikeANative]

lol

[@lesnyk255]

I once worked for a UK-based company at a facility here in the US. The home office sent a couple of their quality inspectors over here for an orientation. On the first morning of the tour, one of our inspectors arrived a little late because her young daughter had balked at getting ready for school; and that the little girl had been so stubbornly disobedient that the mom had to give her "a swat on the fanny" to get her moving. No one had warned her - nor the UK visitors - that the word "fanny" does not mean over here what it means over there!

I'm in an American and a lot of time I say, "This 'er that?" Kinda interesting how I say 'er instead of or.

That's the so-called "weak" pronunciation of "or". It is extremely common for the short, commonly-used words to have both the "strong" and "weak" pronunciations, and this was both accepted and taught even in theater-training classes.

[@ulibarriL]

When I was in Australia, it was really fun teaching those I interacted with how to speak with an American accent. What was really helpful was to spell it out like it sounds. So for instance, the phrase, "What are you doing" would be "Whudayuh doin'" When I described it like that, they nailed it easily. It's not always that simple though. :p

[@PauloVitor-ug4yj]

LACalifornia RockerGal can you practice english with me? please

[@datormacias786]

LACalifornia RockerGal that is because you no longer speak properly like the people in the English land. And did you knew that Britain did no always spoke English? Neither Ireland or Scotland. Those who spoke English are actually called Anglo Saxon, and they were a Germanic tribe, that’s why a lot of English words are found in the German vocabulary, they are just pronounced differently.

[@yusufgta4341]

Us New Yorkers pronounce words differently than the rest of Americans. New York accent comes from.the Dutch,British, Irish,Jewish,and Italian settlers.

This is fun. A big one for me is in British english you literally just said, "In the lost few hours...", instead of, "the last few hours...". I guess it is like the way you say "Bean" and "Been" exactly the same. But, American does many things crazy too. This seems to be recent. Americans are starting to mix up "Are" with "Our", driving me nuts - lol. Of course here "Our" and "Hour" are supposed to sound just alike so "Are" is WAY off lol.

I found your channel because of your accent videos (I don't watch too much of your other teaching videos since in Australia we speak English fine). I find different ascents fascinate me. It would be awesome to do a standard British accent vs Australian accent as I find a lot of foreigners (even from those in English speak countries) can't tell us apart.

[@EnglishLikeANative]

I will do I promise :)

[@wwof1646]

Australians do not speak English fine ... it's poor fact .. an English person here in Australia.

[@jagdpanther1944]

Totally agree, I find dialects and accents fascinating, why they happen, the different circumstances and interaction. One thing I noticed is that, British or Americans can't tell the difference between New Zealand and Australian accents; I grew up in Aussie and NZ, and can tell both accents easily. But I have trouble telling the difference between Canadian and USA accent, but a Canadian guy told me it is easy for him.

[@chrisgee2616]

mrfriendlyguy it's cause of the "r" but Australians have such a difference accent.. The best one if I may.

[@jasperkok8745]

While you're at it, how about South African English? I once had a lecture given by a South African English speaker (probably a native speaker, but I'm not 100% sure) and some class mates (this was at a university in the Netherlands) said she sounded Australian. While I recognised the similarities between South African and Australian English, having spent quite some time in South Africa I could easily tell them apart.

[@raniasoliman4877]

oooh, great video .....I discovered that in my country we learn American and British in public schools. we pronounce letter R like American but letter T like British and ile, aunt and law like British. I'm really confused especially I'm living now in US

This would have been great if you both broke down into your natural accents. You both come from regions (Manchester, Minnesota) with DISTINCT accents everyone knows in each respective country.

Those were their natural accents: Gabby said that she picked up a General American English accent, and Anna always speaks with an RP accent.

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

Minnesota is the worst. I can’t believe this was the choice. Seattle is best. Minnesotans sound strange to most Americans. It’s not the prettiest accent.

[@notyourbae4159]

British accent is more classy but American accent is easier to understand.

[@astrius4125]

​@Toby Skinner Year 12 You need to study more languages. It's not just the brits: all countries have a wide range of accents, and you won't see their natives whining all over the internet that "there's no such thing as an italian/spanish/french/etc accent". It doesn't matter if it's a cockney, a welsh or a scottish accent: you can tell they're from somewhere in the UK and not any of the other countries where English is the official language. All countries have regional variations and dialects, but there's always one that's considered the 'standard', and that's the one usually taught to outsiders. A person from the UK has a british accent, which is short for "this person has one of the many regional accents that exist in the UK". But people are not going to speak like that just to avoid offending vain brits.

British english sometimes uses "our" endings where American English is "or". Words like colour(british)/color(american), flavour/flavor, honour/honor

[@sarangeetam]

Wow ! Excellent job both of you. Thank you very much.

I'm from Spain and I've noticed many infuence from the British English in some Spanish words, here we say 'móvil' to the mobile phone for example. And I think is the same in Portugal and France

[@FM-tc9sc]

Yes, in Portugal we say "telemóvel" = mobil phone

[@kelvingmongo6582]

I love British English heartly...

[@johnlabus7359]

Aunt isn't always pronounced like ant in the US. The drop of the t in the way that Gabby sometimes demonstrates also isn't consistent across the country. While Gabby has lived in different parts of the US, you can still hear her nasal Midwestern emphasis.

Indeed. I'm a native speaker of American English (from the mid-Atlantic region), and I pronounce "aunt" the "British" way. And the glottal sounds terrible to me. I don't personally know anyone who talks like that.

[@258AJC]

John Labus yes!! Im from Eastern Washington and pronounce my t's clearly most of the time, and say awnt not ant. Gabby's accent is interesting and seems rather unnatural to me, don't think I've ever heard anyone who sounds like that. I have family from New England, the deep South, Midwest and near me in the Inland Northwest... It's interesting how drastically different we all speak. Fun video.

[@vanessag3193]

That's true--I'm American and I only know a few people who use the glottal T. I don't say "innerested" for "interested" either.

I speak exactly like Gabby, but I'm also Midwestern. I can say interested, but I have to be thinking about it or else it comes out as innerested.

In Myanmar,mostly Ive heard only American accents but strangely I heard British accent from one of my friend thank you for the video and you guys helped me alots.

[@ShahidJamal-lf1gm]

Very interesting method to teach. It give smile many times of my face. I very liked..

[@eatsleepdie1682]

I like how American teachers are so positive and smile. At my elementary school, the teachers were.. well.. they made you not like learning. Now I'm a sophomore on a bilingual high school and last year we had this amazing teacher named Jessie from somewhere in America. She made me like learning again. We have more native speaking teachers and I like them all. I love this school. I'm from Slovakia btw.

[@Threshingfloor814]

Pronouncing "aunt" like "ant" is regional in the U.S. I'm an ENE speaker of American English and we pronounce it just like the British.

[@MrDustinsk8er]

Same with the "t" pronunciation we do pronounce it in water , sitter, etc. I guess its regional

[@cleuberbarbosa9680]

It’s wonderful! I loved it!

[@EnglishLikeANative]

Thank you!

[@ShinyArjunSingh]

wow man...made my life.. Nice one Subscribed...Keep'em comin....

[@legendas.Brasil]

Ana, you have a perfect diction, I would like to see an American like you, for me to compare, but everything indicates that British English is better for Brazilian.

[@user-qv9ev3rn1i]

We generally learn British accent at schools and universities in Russia, and I am sort of apt to speak English in British way. I just like it and prefer to watch British pronunciation videos on KZbin and British TV-series. In fact my own pronunciation is quite similar to yours and that's really cool and it also makes me watch your videos) P.S. Your partner seems to give her voice to American versions of some online dictionaries XD

[@chrismcnab478]

What is a british accent?

[@yuryvilin5995]

Excellent demonstration! Well deserved thumb up and sub.
