English Like A Native In this video for the word 'metre' you used the phrase 'don't forget to check the meter' as in electricity meter.Instead you used the word 'metre'-a unit of measurement-spelt differently of course.

[SpBeats]

are you a native yourself?

[J. Dino.Supreme]

Liam Gallagher!!!!

[Glyn Gibson]

Coming from West Disdbury - South Manchester, that young ladies accent was most definitely North Machester as appossed to myself and Liam and Noel G. who are most definetly south mancs.... sorted... got it.?

[😱 Darling, Your Epidermis is Showing! 😱]

Brilliant!

[qazwery]

Cora's look in her eyes is like she saw her whole village being burned by vikings

[country boy]

i laughed so fricken hard at this lol

[YourBoyBenjamin]

😂😂😂

[Live Free or Die]

Wat??

[Old Navajo Tricks]

And she WILL have her vengeance...

[Gary Hillman]

Eh ?

[camerpin]

I'm an American who spent two years living in Manchester and Liverpool and hearing Cora's accent is really bringing me back. I love those northern British accents.

[Kai Wustlich]

I really love that accent. The word "lovely" alone gives me a big smile on my face. Cora, lovely.

[Misha Tomskovich]

Simply lovely

[jj :)]

Ikr

[jas]

luvleh

[Roosevelt Dumornay]

Lovely 😊. It sounds so beautiful

[Joakim Blomqvist]

Luvleh indeed!

[Eric Robbins]

This was a super fun video! I've been really enamored with Jamie Tartt's accent on Ted Lasso, so I searched for Mancunian accents to hear another. Cora's speaking is so nice!

[Surreal]

OMG that’s the exact reason I ended up here!!!

[Elizabeth O]

Same!

[Jennifer Amador]

That is exactly how I ended up here

[Josie Adams]

Ditto

[Joseph Fernando]

bruh same

[cain524]

It is amazing how much of a difference there can be in language just within a few miles. I love listening to different dialects from around the world.

[W A L X]

Within Manchester there are tons of different sub accents It is really interesting

[John O'Regan]

The accent in the UK allegedly registers a notable difference approximately every 8 miles

[Danellboy]

The American accents were developed when travelling around was a lot eaiser. British accents have a much older origin where people 20 miles away would barely come into contact. Because it wasn't as easy to meet people different to themselves accents diverged a lot. It's like when animals get trapped on a remote island and evolve differently, of course that takes a lot longer to happen than for an accent to change.

[Deni D. Moore]

I'm from Nebraska USA and amazed at how many different English/ Scottish/ Irish/ Welsh accents are contained in everyday American English. We say bath, last , taffy, castle with the same short "a" sound that Mancunians use.

[Andrew JS]

Most of the north of England uses that type of pronunciation in those words.

[Kristopher Hiser]

I noticed while watching this that American English, at least the generally midwestern nonaccented version, has a lot in common with the Mancunian accent.

[Caleb Clendenin]

The trap-bath split came later. About 200 years ago it started in Southeast England like London and gained popularity.

[Michal Mizrachi]

So weird they have so many accents in just one country wow

[Tømbii]

There are so many Accents in Manchester alone. Probably about 8 or 9 stand out accents in one metropolitan area alone (Greater Manchester)

[X]

CocoCandii what are they?

[Tømbii]

@X Wythenshawe, Wigan, Salford, Stretford, Bolton, Didsbury, Rochdale, Oldham, Stockport, Bury, Sale, Gorton, Middleton. All have unique accents. Did I answer your question adequately?

[X]

CocoCandii well I guess so. I was just wondering since I’ve lived in Manchester for 2 years and didn’t know this.

[Dean]

@Tømbii South Manchester definitely has a distinct accent compared to North Manchester. Wigan I don't really class as Manchester even though it's in Greater Manchester. I grew up in Wythenshawe then moved to Withington and there wasn't any discernable difference between the accents in those places.

[Shane]

Ive always loved the Manchester dialect. Cora's voice is quite lovely. Too bad the host did not put her website in the description like she said. Was looking forward to seeing what films/shows shes been in.

[cris cris]

I´m completely in love with the Manchester accent...no idea why, it´s totally charming, touching...Cora should teach it to all of us :) I´d enroll immediatly...it´s dead mint :)

[RendezvouDoo]

Me too!

[Daniela Bitencourt Borges]

Thank you so much Cora. I lived in Manchester for 8 months and I returned to Brazil a month ago. I was missing the mancunian accent. It was hard in the beginning but I learned to love it and now I miss it so much. Expecially when you don't pronounce the 't' like 'water' and 'better'. You are lovely and your accent is beautiful. Obrigada 😊

[blackporsche roadster]

I'm from Greater Manchester originally and I always pronounce the 't' in words. It's one of the things about northern accents, they more closely follow the actual spellings.

[DS]

I’m learning English because I intend to settle in uk but it’s quite difficult to listen and understand all different accents 🧐 But in same time the différents accents are part of charm of every people 😊👍

[ESR]

Love your accent discovery videos. Can't wait for one comparing standard British vs standard American accent. Keep it up!

[English Like A Native]

+ESR it's coming :)

[Jack Harb]

Even then, I'm from California and my family was originally from Texas/Oklahoma. I now live in in the Midwest and even though I have a typical "american" accent, which i think the influence of California culture on media played a significant role in establishing it as "standard", there are some distinct differences I've noted. Specifically: 1. I tend to run my words together and drop the distinct pronunciation of vowels and syllables. For example, I've met two women named Elaine. (Forgive how i butcher the pronunciation here) One is from California and one is from Michigan. The California pronounces her name "uh-laine", de-emphasizing the E sound (which is how i pronounce it) and the one from Michigan pronounces her name "E-laine" with a strong E sound. Similarly, in Michigan there is a town named "Charlotte" which, in Michigan, they pronounce "Shar-lot" and I pronounce "Sharlet". 2. There is an over-pronunciation of vowel sounds in the northern mid-west states and a substitution of the "D" sound for "Th" in a word. Typically called, at least in Michigan, the "Yuper Accent" (for Upper Peninsula) a saying like, "Oh, Hey there!" would sound like "OOh, hey dere!". Kinda hard to write, but the O sound is over emphasized and the H of "hey" is de-emphasized. I've heard similar accents in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.

[newyork4311]

cause new yorkers drop their "r's" just like the english.

[Yusuf Gta]

I have a heavy Brooklyn New York accent

[Yusuf Gta]

New York accent is very distintive to other American accents because its very non rhotic not saying the Rs. We pronounce dog,colfee,thought,and talk as dawg,cawfee,thawght,and tawk.

[linaride]

Cora's accent just gives the impression that she doesn't have time for any bullshit. I may be a tiny bit in love with it. >

[Tech Now]

Manchester people don't play.

[Average Hank Hill Fan]

I was wondering why I was so enamored by her speech, lol.

[gwho]

it's the accent you imagine catwoman or Vi from League of Legends would have

[Brian Sharp]

Yes it luuvley

[6th Wilbury]

Just stumbled upon this entire series because of a convo I had a little while back. One of my friends was talking about "the British accent." I argued that there is no single British accent, just like there isn't just one single "American accent." People in Northern California - where we both live - speak differently than those from Southern California. And it's fairly easy to tell someone from Texas from someone from Alabama from someone from the Midwest US, New York, New England, etc, etc, etc. Of course, he understood that in an instant. But I sense that he still thinks there is only one British accent. Time to send him these videos!

[Michael M]

Thank you for making such detailed and comprehensive tutorials about the variants of the English accent. Without you or your service, I would agree never been able to tell people which English accent is my favorite. Now I know, the Manchurian one. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏 I can listen to Cora speak all day. And the cute smile at the end of that passage reading was adorable.

[Alan C]

Thanks, really fun series. I've wondered how the 18th Century British English accent evolved into the American English accent in those colonies. When I hear the lovely long-ahh discussion here 2:38 I hear a major difference pointing to the fundamental American accent. Coincidence?

[Onlytruerose 1]

I think the way that Americans generally pronounce 'a' is the same way that the Southern Irish pronounce it, as in 'last' or 'past'. Also the Irish say the word 'sure' so much in everyday life as in 'Sure, amn't I doing it, now!' The Americans say 'sure' a lot in their everyday life too. So many Irish went to America so maybe that was their contribution to the general American accent. I like to think so. I had a lot of ancestors that went from Ireland. I was born in Ireland and mainly brought up in Lancashire, so I have the benefit of both places which are lovely.

[Live Free or Die]

My girlfriend is from Manchester and she has lived in the US less than a year. I'm the first and only guy in the USA she's dated. I fell in love with her and her accent almost immediately. She's just "luvleh" 💞💞 🇺🇲🇬🇧

[Rodrigo Oliveira]

Thanks for the video, Anna! I had already learned about some differences about accents in a book of mine with cds, but seeing that once again and knowing where they come from is really exciting!

[Heofonfyr]

So funny, it always sounds like you're trying to force Cora to say it right 😆

[simplynaan]

I’m a Mancunian but I’m still watching this because I wanna compare our accent to the proper British accent

[Mikasa Ackerman]

Hey. Cora speaks Manchester accent what about the another woman. This is my second video in her channel so I still don't know her name or which Britain accent she speaks

[Dimi Play]

@Mikasa Ackerman London

[Mikasa Ackerman]

@Dimi Play which part of London ?

[Michael Tye]

@Mikasa Ackerman it's not really London so much as Southern in general, the South of England doesn't have that many changes in accent, the Midlands and the North change accent like every 20 miles or something ridiculous

[Mikasa Ackerman]

@Michael Tye thank you

[Giuseppe]

This isn't a different accent, it's a real dialect. An accent is a way of speaking that uses vowels or consonant sounds different from the standard. But in this case, not only do the sounds change, but also several words change. So it is a real dialect, a way of speaking understood only by people from the same area.

[Gracekim25]

it's still an accent.

[Joel Masamba]

Thanks for everything you've been doing for us my amazing teacher keep up the good work!!! Can people understand us while speaking in this accent????

[K]

Not sure if I will ever have an opportunity to put this to practice. But both Cora and the host are just adorable and a pleasure to look at. English is definitely to be taught by nice ladies.

[FredOnline]

As stated previously, the Manc accent has it's regions, depending on the part of Manchester you're from. I take issue with "weather" or most words that end "er", weather should be pronounced "wevvuhhh" and drawn out at the end with the expelling of a breath!

[blackporsche roadster]

The Wevuhh is shite in Manchester.

[Daniel Meurer]

That's a hard accent for non native speaker. It's kinda cute, though. Nonetheless, please make a video about Scottish accent! Probably my favorite.

[English Like A Native]

The shoot has been booked. It is on it's way soon :)

[officialwakeee]

Daniel Meurer aye 😂

[Alastair Braun]

I ain’t a native speaker of english language and I live in Manchester for about 3 years an’ 6 months and I caught up the accent. Really proud of me xD

[Sebastijana]

Yes, please! My brother-in-law is Scottish! I want to impress him ))

[coatingthickness]

I was born and grow up in Sicily and Manchester's accent is more familiar to speak because we have a similar way to pronunce words. I find hard to speak southern way like a London's accent. By the way sorry for my rubbish english 🤣

[Elena Kochash]

I am so-so grateful to you! You can't even imagine how much you helped me to save effort. So, there's a story. I'm studying foreign philology and I'm having a seminar about accents where I'll have to talk about all the phonetic differences in british regional variants and provide examples of them imitating them and in that bloody book it takes so much time to understand it with the transcription. So your videos happened to be the most helpful for me all over youtube:) THANK YOU!

[Glen Atwell]

My fathers side of my family celebrate our 400th year in America's in 2023. However my grandparents (All three remaining) came from Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham respectively. All three came to Canada before World War One. They sounded very different in my memories to the examples that I hear on your Videos of these regions. I think a Century of time has had an effect on the English Language. My Manchester Grandmother had influences of Boston USA from listening to radio from that era. We are related to US President FDR and had that accent was learned in schools and repeated on radio. My Liverpool Grandfather was better educated in Victorian fashion. Slightly highbrow he never lost his accent although he lived well into the 1980's. There was very little slang in his speech and was an early pioneer of Radio Shows before ww2. Now I remember the least my Birmingham Grandmother from the foundry district. Her accent was strange She ended words such as Birming-HAM like Berming-JUM I dont know how HAM become JUM! But it was a hundred years ago that they left for the New World. 🤔

[MarkoH01]

Since I saw Life on Mars I simply love this accent ... it feels like a complete different language and since I am a native German I had big trouble understanding much without subs turned on ... still love it!

[Manly and Loving It]

As an ignorant American, this accent is very cool, and sounds kinda what I picture in my head as a mix of English and Scottish accents. It’s like i know I recognize this accent from certain movies I’ve seen or something, but I can’t put my finger on what exactly. I love getting to learn more about dialects and accents.

[Ree]

Perhaps Game of Thrones?

[Keith Sanders]

As someone who lived near Manchester and worked in the centre of the city for 21 years it is good to see and hear a You Tube dedicated to the Manchester accent. Too many programmes cover Scouse, Yorkshire and Lancashire. Lancashire and Mancunian accents are quite different so thank you. I now live near Edinburgh, where they think "I talk funny".

[The Sage Gamer]

The best English accent hands down, lovely video as always !

[T Brown]

Thank you for doing this video series. It is wonderful! Have you considered doing an episode on the Middlesbrough accent? It's a lovely accent, and, I believe, heard from many of the popular characters in the Game of Thrones series.

[Jemima Sampson]

Only a Mancunian accent could make "you're going up in the world" sound so ominous. I love it.

[tatuco8]

Yeah we have many different variations of the same accent depending what area of Manchester your from, its also dependant on class, culture, education.

[nguyen nguyen]

I've been an Oasis's fan for quite some time, and at this point where their music is not enough for me, I decide to get to know their accent.

[Faith Marie]

I want to learn the mancunian accent! Cora seems lovely, and this accent sounds beautiful❤️

[V B]

you forgot one thing, as far as I know Mancunians usually say "me" instead of "my"! Actually also Cora says it in this video if I remember correctly

[Emily X]

Valentina B I think this is true well I'm Mancunian and I replace 'my' with 'me' all the time.

[G DL]

There are variations across Manchester.

[Sarcinotnarci]

Valentina B yes we do !

[Aeolian]

they're actually still saying my, not me, they just pronounce the y differently, making my and me homonyms

[Sarcinotnarci]

Kaori Hing thanks, we are defo saying me not my, we are capable of pronouncing my too!

[Johan Fagerström Jarlenfors]

I think it’s fascinating how you British have so wide and distinctive accents (and dialects). It is almost like in sweden. In Norway they have wide accents and dialects too and speaks very much dialect with un-understanble vocabulary. In sweden we have heavy dialects too but not as widely spoken as our heavy distinctive accents. Denmark on the other hand doesn’t use dialects as much as sweden and the accents are less distinctive that in sweden. I know about two swiss people learned swedish from two different teachers with different accents and when the two swiss later spoke swedisg to eachother they first thought it was different languages😅 Not many languages have as distinctive accents (or dialects) that non-speakers can hear that two speakers speak differently. And many languages (for example german) have so distinctive dialects that they’re pretty much their own languages... and when the germans speak without local vocabulary i don’t hear much difference at all. But already before i learned english as a child i could hear big differences between two brits speaking in a movie if they had different accents and no that i understand them i hear it even more. And spanish for example. I learned spanish in school during higher ages but i already was very familliar with it since I’ve spent a month in spain every year which now adds up to almost two years in total. Ant to be honest. I don’t hear big differences of accents within spain. I hear big differences between latin america and spain but not within spain.... well the catalans and valencians that has their own languages as native have often a little colour of that in their spanish but hey... those languages already are very similar in accents;) I’ve been to britain too. And I noticed that people spoke with different accents no matter what age they had. Just like in sweden. They didn’t necessarily spoke dialect but with distinctive accent. The same thing appears in sweden. We speak with quite distinctive accents and put in some local or regional vocabulary in some places without thinking about it. Most people don’t speak “pure” dialects and many aren’t even able to since they don’t know all the vocabulary. It’s fascinating how there can be such big differences in pronunciation within the same country depending of location in some languages. I know about especially three provinces in southern sweden since they were danish until like 300 years ago (on of them is my home). I understand how dialects can be built... with slang for sertain things that later become the “normal” way of saying it in that area. But a dialect doesn’t necessarily have to be pronounced so different from another or from the standard language.

[Claire]

This is such an educative but still fun video, very casual and professional at the same time, well done :)

[Carly Booth]

The way she said “lovely” made me all melty.

[Roosevelt Dumornay]

That made my day. I'm going to study at university there and leave America

[Kieron Mclean]

Simppp jk lmao

[Merk40 Tharealest]

Loovelay

[WinglessFairy]

Same omgggg

[Tobias]

repent to God

[Alexander Xie]

I'm a foreigner temporarily living in Manchester. I speak with an American accent, and I find it rather interesting to talk with Mancunians

[WinglessFairy]

I want a series like this but with American English because there’s so many different ones as well much like this

[DarkFusion]

The Manchester accent is my favorite English accent.

[UsagiAMV]

i like the london one more

[Neutral Observer.]

In some areas of the UK your accent can dictate what strangers think of you before they even know you. eg. On hearing a West Country, Geordie or Brummie accent people might wrongly assume you're thick. With a Scouse accent the assumption is that you're not trustworthy and always trying to scam someone. A general Scottish accent gives someone credibility which hasn't been earned yet and Black Country people are all assumed to be comedians. There's something calming and direct with a Manchester accent that you don't get elsewhere. Absolutely no airs and graces. It's comparatively easy for strangers to understand and it's warm and friendly just like the majority of people from that area! ps. Please don't think I'm biased as I don't have a Mancunian accent.

[Thảo Vy Thái]

@Neutral Observer. that's an excellent description of the Mancunian accent 😍

[sarah kendall]

Thank you :)

[Emanuele Righetti]

Me too!

[Czesław]

Nationality doesn’t matter where you are from,it depends what was the passport you had,you have the same first passport as your parents had,if your dad has a jamaican passport,your mom has japanese,you are called half jamaican,half japanese,this is what happens with my best friend in nursery.

[Elizabeth Fields]

Now I know why the English couple that came into the cafe I was working at thought I was Manchester. We were having a British day featuring teas and coffee British style so I was entertaining a coworker with a British accent. I found myself talking uncontrollably in that accent the entire day. So of course that's how I greeted the couple in that accent which for a min they didn't believe me when I said I as really born in the US.

[LoganArnoldKicks]

Just from watching The Challenge on MTV, I am now able to distinguish some British accents from one another 😂😂 The two most distinct that I’ve heard on the show are the Manchester and the Newcastle accent

[Victor Borges]

Here in Brazil we’re used with American accent, so I ‘ve tried to get more confidence with British accent, but I’ve been in Leeds and....oh god! For the first three days I was like “I DONT KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH” lol

[English Like A Native]

It takes a little time to understand a regional accent but eventually you will get used to it.

[M M]

@English Like A Native after three years in Manchester I still have a problem to understand people here. I kinda feel like everyone have his own accent lol ;) oh and Warrington accent, even ppl from here cannot understand them

[Sternmann 3302]

@M M I've met folks from there and the Wirral, can confirm :P

[Darkangel W]

It's so much fun to learn new accents of the English language

[sebastien Lopez Massoni]

Each of your videos about British accent are excellent, thank you very much Anna for this work.

[English Like A Native]

You are welcome. Many more to come. :)

[Md McDonald]

Cora is angelic! I could listen to her all day.

[Laszlo Soltesz]

In Scandinavian languages the vowel before double consonants is always short. Just like how Cora pronounces them. Also the glottalized t is "typical Danish".

[marsbarzz]

This is great, I’m trying to get my accent back as my accent now sounds weird since I’m in nz (it sounds a little British and a little kiwi) this is really helping with it

[Rachel Davis]

When you break out some of the vowel sounds, I realized they are how I as an American pronounce them. But in total, the Manchester accent sounds like a really strong British accent to me lol

[Mikel Ricard]

I can't stop crying. I love the Manchester accent. I met a customer who lived years in Manchester. It was the most magical moment. Thank you.

[greendayrus]

I am from Manchester and there is major differentiation some of us do pronounce the the th in thank you etc. But I enjoyed the video x

[sakuva citric]

greendayrus i say fank you 😂😂

[AP]

greendayrus yes I'm mancunian and say th

[Valerie Watchempino]

I've heard people from South London use "f" for "th!"

[mistral55]

Ditto.. and a huge difference between North, (Bobby Ball), South, (Craig Cash), East (Noel Gallagher) & West Manchester (Jason Manford))

[Ammar Syahmi]

Hello, my name is Ammar. I am a 19-year-old Malaysian boy. I am at my last sem in foundation year in International Islamic University Malaysia, Centre for Foundation Studies. Currently, I am doing a project on Mancunian dialect and accent. For this project, I am given the option whether to interview a native speakers of the dialect that I am doing which is Mancunian or the experts in the linguistics field of the dialect. So, could you help me to find someone or do you have any friends that could help me in this project?

[Ouroboros Ofis]

I am a Greek who was taught American English and recently moved to Manchester. I have a really hard time understanding the accent here.

[Katie]

This video will help me explain to my online friends from all over the world what I meant lol. They usually have a hard time understanding my accent (I'm from Manchester) and most of the time I don't realise how different my accent really sounds. Thank you for the video :)

[CJGfarm]

Educational, entertaining, and funny! Thanks for posting😄

[tjantaduang]

I like when you let the person with her accent read a story. That can really show how it is spoken.

[DEFCON 4]

You wouldn't think that there are so many different accents on an island that's mostly flat. I could understand it in a place like Norway, or Switzerland, where people are isolated by valleys and mountains. I stream some Brit shows from time to time and sometimes I have to turn on the Captions. I remember when my 3rd cousin Finn came to America in 1999. When he visited the old-timers in Minnesota, who still spoke Norwegian, he was stunned when he heard a dialect from them that he hadn't heard since he was a child sitting on his granny's lap in Norway. He actually broke down when he heard it. It reminded him of a childhood faraway in time that had vanished in the mists of decades - and it overwhelmed him in a gush of emotion.

[TEODORO CATALAN NAVA]

I just went through a pronunciation course and the very same reading was used to check our pronunciation at the beginning and the end of the course. Thank you! Thank you! From the very South of Mexico i. e. Acapulco.

[Rafael Cerqueira]

Make more videos with Cora, please. Ps.: Awesome video, I loved it!

[nekonohiki]

Excellent idea to make read your "accent guests" a passage. It's becoming huge and serious, thank you and thanks Cora again!

[kanton4108]

This is showcasing more slang than accent. And I'm really surprised that as a New Zealander, I was familiar with a lot of the slang

[AMP]

This has been really fun to watch. Congrats and thanks for the video! I'll try out some of the mancunian words ^^

[MrBlaktoe]

One thing that I found interesting is how Cora pronounces "bath" like a Yank would but Anna uses the longer pronunciation of the "a", but with "Happy" Anna uses the same type of "a" that Cora uses in bath. Weird how language evolves.

[cloudbear]

Would be good to do a Salford one so you can see how it changes on the other side of Town. We sound nothing like this but most people would call us Manchester too.

[Ann Oldham]

I found that out when I went to the tech college in 86. The M6 dialect is nowt like mine 🥰😂

[Clarence Boddicker]

The Manchester dialect is very similar to the one used where I live in Portsmouth, Hampshire. A lot of the slang words are identical.

[Amaury Garcia]

I'm crazy about accents! I'm really happy for having found your channel. Congrats on the wondeful work!

[A jolly day]

I wish if everyone talks just like Anna .🥰Anna i'm in love with your pronunciation.😘

[Kelley Costigan]

While this is probably geared toward non-native English speakers, I wish you'd put the phonetic symbols for the vowels that the native speaker uses so that I can see the difference. I'm an actor and these are helpful for quick accent studies. Thanks for doing them!

[pow pow pow]

I used to live in Manchester and I had this accent until I moved to London lol. My accent sounds pretty mixed now as I've been living in London for 7 years and i used to live in Manchester for 8 years and it's pretty cool to hear it again.

[Solidfact42]

This is an interesting one. To me it sounds like a good accent for an authority figure to have. Cora's "don't keep me waiting" had almost a hint of menace to it.

[Anna Hill]

Hello, Anna. I really enjoyed all of your accent videos. Could you possibly at some point make some about the Swindonian and Suffolk accents?? :)

[English Like A Native]

I plan to make videos on all the accents. I just have to find the right natives of each area willing to come on and do the videos with me :)

[Kenneth Madrid]

I'm from Colorado, U.S.A, and I love these traditional English accents. So beautiful and lovely to hear, I definitely love learning about them. I bet I would sound weird as a mid-western American speaking in England lol

[Cole Griffin]

Hello from Manchester, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

No . You are easy to understand As someone from just outside Manchetser the only Americain accent I can see us struggling with is a really strong Amercain accent ( especially Southern accents ) which use a lot of local lingo . Then it becomes impossible. The futher South in the USA I have gone in the the harder it was to communicate.

When I visit Manchester 14years ago for my first time, it was too hard to understand Mancunion accent. As a Korean I have learned English during school time only in USA accent. But after 1 year experience in Manchester I could understand Manchester accent. And now, many years passed and I miss the accent. After watch this video, I miss Manchester city centre, tram, primark(😂) and many faces of old friends. I miss Manchester. I want to visit there again with my husband and child.

[Tech Now]

@Kathy_Lee You should visit, Manchester is a very different and developed place now, even better. It has so much more to offer. So many Korean restaurants now, and Koreana Restaurant is still here. 👏

[Newton2222]

@Kathy Lee Awwww... and we miss you.😍

[Jonathan Carrión]

I am Cuban, and i really love the Mancunian accent!!!!! Well done ladies!!!!

[MrFitznicely]

Cora sounds more like shes from Oldham / Rochdale than straightforward manc, but it's largely spot on. Btw, as a manc, my mum would give us a clip round the ear if I ever said "Wevver" instead of "weather", so I reckon that's got more to do with class than regional accent.

[Hannah Dyson]

She sounds more Yorkshire to me .

[Matt Lawson]

I think she’s from right on the Lancs/Yorks border. Not manc. The way she pronounces “one” and “goat”

[Sutty]

Bowl, there and goat were very broad, but the rest was spot on.

[Wiz Bang]

That was incredible, I was stunned by the words at first, I would've never figured them out, great job for both of you 👍👍👍👍

[English Like A Native]

Thank you Mask :)

[leftylimbo]

Great video, thanks for sharing! Btw, still wondering which accent you have, Anna. This one was especially enlightening since you had Cora read a story (with subtitles). That really showed the Manchester accent in context. It'd be nice to feature the other accents reading the same block of text.

[Gabriel]

I think she has a RP accent

[leftylimbo]

@Gabriel thanks for chiming in. What is RP?

[Gabriel]

It’s a really posh one

[Janaina Souza Queiroz]

Cora is incredible! Loved her accent (:

[Airihi]

Apparently as a kid growing up in California I was using some mancunian slang without realizing it

[corey wiley]

It would be interesting to hear a Mancunian an Liverpudlian in a conversation and observe the differences.

[GR EG]

As a french, i have to say im proud to be a manc too Lot, lot easier for us to pronounce.

[The Man in Black]

Cora is such a cutie-pie! And her accent is so so nice! I love it!

[Viktor Jonas]

Love Cora, sheä's dorable! Anna is like an evil teacher saying "no you have to pronounce it this way because of reasons unknownw"! :) As a Swedish person picking up different accents on TV-shows and whatnot I really enjoy your videos though!

[English Like A Native]

Lol, I’m not evil I promise. There’s definitely no suggestion or intention to portray on accent as better than another. I am just showing the differences. In fact the purpose was to celebrate the different regional accents we have.

[judy]

I’m Mancunian and most of those words I have never heard before. Most of the vowel thing is accurate though. Depends which area you are looking at

[Fido Starman]

Oh God, if I had known all this info when I first came to live in London my life would've been a lot easier. 😆

[Mark Welson]

Cora and Anna you both have done Excellent job. I think the Manchester Mancunian accent is similar to London Cockney accent.

[MissRY Answers]

Cora, you're adorable! Great luck and wins to you in all your endeavors!!!

[Char Pyles]

One of the reasons I LOVE watching Coronation Street is because of the Mancunian accent. This is lovely! Thanks for posting!

[Misha Tomskovich]

A lot of them are Yorkshire. Vera Duckworth!

[AP]

I’d say Kevin has the most authentic Manchester accent

[Misha Tomskovich]

@AP aye

[ManUtdMrs]

Do you know that out of all the soaps on British tv, Coronation street have a higher percentage of local people on the cast compared to say Eastenders.!

[xXBeastlyGamerXx]

Most of them on Corrie ain’t even Mancs or have a manc accent tbh Kevin Webster and his daughter are the closest and their both from salford the rest are either posh or Yorkshire ways

[Alessandro R.]

I really enjoy the Mancunian accent, specially because of Shameless, it was great.

[holly]

i grew up very close to manchester and i honestly wish my accent was more like this, i definitely have hints of it but the majority of mine is southern now lol

[Liway Pragados]

👍👍👍❤😍thank you so much for all the videos you uploaded...being a filipina I find it difficult when it comes to pronounciation and accent it is hard but it is so interesting and a big help thank you and God bless❤❤❤

[Bruno Duarte Gomes]

My favorite english accent. And Cora is beautiful like a Brazilian woman.

[Anastacia Konstantynova]

Cora speaks beautifully ))))

[Muzungu Hunter]

isnt it

Cheers

[Yung Lord Dagger Dick]

I hate that voice it sounds mancy and how they say lovely ynwa

[Cupidslover3]

Really good. The only one I wasn't sure about was the dropping of th for f or v. I'm from Lancashire and many of my relatives, old and young, from Manchester. Never heard that. Wonder if that's a new variation from estuary English. But there's lots of diversity in the accent...I'm from West Lancashire and it's much more subtle than the Manchester accent but still clearly north west England! Proud of my accent though and won't change it even though been living in southern England for a long time

[DemonScythe]

I'm from Manchester and this is actually very accurate

[CLAR]

Cora is beautiful 😍 And her accent is too!
