As an American Spurs fan, I understood everything Harry Kane said, probably because I’ve heard him talk for years now. It was hilarious to be reminded that he can be that difficult for people to understand. “Like he’s talking with marbles coated in peanut butter in his mouth” I once aptly heard! 😂

[@bookclub5021]

He does have a speech impediment to be fair, so a bit harsh to be laughing at him for it. Granted, these girls likely didn't know about that.

[@henri_ol]

I saw your video with Lauren yesterday on her channel , it was great , I also think that these accents are hard

[@pashaiv2429]

It's always enjoyable and fun to see videos with you. These accents belong to english speakers so nothing unusual to be hard to pick up for US speaker. Sometimes they have very tricky accent.

[@anndeecosita3586]

I think if you are accustomed to being around people who tend to fully enunciate it’s more difficult to understand people who don’t. With time you can adjust your ears to “fill in the blanks” for the omitted or muffled sounds. I fully understood the first guy and enough of the second two to get the gist of what they were saying.

[@fred.y3890]

Not a native speaker but i understood what Kane was saying 😂

[@mcvange]

I am italian, and Harry Kane was the only one I could understand well, weirdly enough

[@markelmore66]

I’m a southerner from Georgia (United States) and was pretty lost. Would love to hear Brit’s try and understand deep southern accents. Ya might have a harder time than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest!😂

[@jem2886]

The first guy that spoke (Harry Kane) actually has a speech impediment

[@construct3]

You prompted me to look online, and I found that some broadcasters got in trouble for making fun of his speech impediment, but I can't figure out what this impediment is. I'm from Texas, and I only missed a couple of his words. I took that for the difference in accent. I'm surprised that these two ladies couldn't understand him. Can you explain to me what his impediment is? I'd be interested to know. The one I had trouble with was Raheed Sterling. I could pick up maybe 40% of what he said. Once I tune my ears, I can usually pick up what most Brits are saying. I can't understand really thick accents from the west country and from northern England--Yorkshire, Geordie. I can often tune in on even thick Scouse, but it takes a little effort and close attention, and sometimes I fail. And there are accents in the U.S. that are difficult, too. At university, I had a roommate from far northeast Tennessee in Appalachia, and for the first two weeks, he had to repeat everything he said so I could understand him. I'm sure he found it irritating, but it took a full two weeks before I could understand him properly.

[@Octaphea]

Same as you. Not the first one. But Londoner and "Yorkshirer" one were pretty easy.

[@andrewnam9782]

Very impressive!

[@__dane__]

As an American Premier League fan it's so funny to think of Kane or Sterling's accents as hard to understand when there are so many harder to understand accents in the UK. Edit: Honestly the American girl might have trouble understanding most Americans.

[@DrGetgood]

Yeah truly. Also American, (from Michigan) and I understood him just fine. The hardest for me to understand is thick London accents or thick Scouser accents

[@SarahCharles92]

The confusion of Harry Maguire's accent was quite apt: He is a Yorkshire lad who has played in Manchester for a fair few years now, so that will have slightly softened his Yorkshire accent and moved it slightly towards a Manc accent. Of course, the Yorkshire pushes through the most, but the fact @Laurenade was unsure which to choose between Yorkshire and Manchester makes perfect sense.

[@jbourne4444]

I like this pairing.👍🔥

[@Fernandodelahoz130]

Actually Raheem Sterling is from Jamaica but since he has lived in England most of his life he’s got a British accent

[@Thisnameisnottakenjk]

I'm American and I could easily understand Harry right away. The second guy though really threw me off, but it was just because of all the non words he littered in to the middle of his answer.

Maybe it is because I come from the Midlands, but I understood every word they said. Perhaps it's because you hear a larger variety of accents in the Midlands.

[@truthbeforeopinions941]

Yet again, the English are passed of as British because their nation formed on Said island. When in reality the term British was already in use for a separate and distinct culture on Said island. This culture is now known as Welsh in the English language. British when applied to England and Scotland just means a geographical representation of the people of England and Scotland. Historically and Culturally, British only applied to Wales.

I don't understand how Americans struggle so much with accents that's not from America. It's just English. I know Americans are not very used to hearing accents and other shit outside of America, but I don't even have English as my first language and I understand it very easily. Sure some accents are difficult, like some very old English accents, or some parts in Scotland. But these were VERY simple to understand.

[@kierengert6177]

Aussie here, first guy was actually not too difficult for me to understand, he wasn't the clearest with his speech but I still picked up most of what he was saying. I found that especially interesting since you all made similar points about the way he speaks to how Australians speak where there's more brevity between the words and they kinda meld a little as a result so maybe that has something to do with my relative ease at picking it up. Also, I do find it interesting that despite how big of a country Australia is there's not really any regional accents, its more a spectrum of Broad-General-Cultivated which is pretty much influenced by socio-cultural and/or economic background and level of exposure to media I suppose, with a little bit of ethnic mixing to provide a pretty decent outlier from that model. Like maybe there will be a greater diversity of ethnic mixing in Sydney while Melbourne will have more cultivated accents and most of Western Australia will be quite broad but by and large the accents are the same, just a bit of a different spread in each place.
