How to talk like a REAL Londoner

[@algi1]

A teacher tells the class: 'In some languages a double negative is an affirmative. But there aren't any languages where a double affirmative is a negative.' And someone from the back row yells: 'Yeah, sure.'

[@Simppu12]

To be fair, 'yeah, sure' is a double affirmative with a positive meaning. The only reason why it also has a negative connotation is because it is often used in a sarcastic way.

[@enriquealonso6316]

i dont know If you have heard the song from foreinger "dirty white boy", the song gets one double negative phrase : "I dont drive no big black car", One time I asked why, an a teacher told me that thats the way black ppl talks on the streets, then, es talking about he´s a dirty white boy, (meant he were a poor white boy from the streets, trying to emulate they way they talk).

[@jesssimplemad]

algi or the person could've said "yeah, right". Lol.

[@Rudenbehr]

Simppu12 You could've just taken the fucking joke but no that's too much to ask nowadays.

[@cr3a7iv34]

I can surprise you mate. Actually in bulgarian language double affirmative "yes, yes" means exactly the opposite - negative / disagree :)

[@Sara-vf9bn]

The most common word I have heard in London is "innit"

[@Sluga7hor]

It is, innit? :D

[@callumpreston6923]

Innit Edit: SHIT I DIDNT REALISE I SAID THAT ITS NATURAL 😂😂

The cockney accent ain't dead it's just mainly spoken in the south an west of Essex

[@madmantingting4988]

An west Kent

[@pasta8793]

As an American I love this accent. I love when people with it say "innit." It's such a charming and friendly sounding accent. Sounds a bit like Mia Mersion innit

[@Buffaylo]

it's beatiful, innit / isn't it? that's a simple example

[@rheaateyourchips4510]

Buffaylo yeah gr8 example

[@JayGriffinblaze]

Lol 20 years ago, 'Peng' meant 'potent' or 'strong' because it was a term used to describe a particular kind of Skunk Cannabis. It then became 'good' or equivalent to 'dope' (as used in hip hop idiom) and then beautiful. Language and slang changes.

[@eesafredericks2122]

im from saff afrika and i even know dat is peng not beautiful innit

[@omokok1877]

And innit also meas you're agreeing with something lol

[@AhmedIbrahim86-Koto]

[@sergiopizzo423]

Your lessons are always clear and your insight into the English language is fascinating. Everytime, I discover new aspects of the spoken language, thank you for the help Jade !

[@gerainthall1941]

I'm a real Londoner born and bred darlin, and I never double my negatives coz I'm not a bleedin ignoramus.

[@Themasculineadvice]

[@rebecad1163]

I don’t know why I’m watching this, I’m a Londoner 😂😂😂

[@Maddie1402_]

As a linguist myself I'm so glad you did the slashes for the phonemes. I'm going to visit London and Great Britain in general for the first time in a few weeks and this helps me a lot. Thanks

[@MuhammadEgypt]

I think almost all languages and accents of the world sound good. Not just that. Any accent can grow on you once you've heard it for a while.

[@wellhelltherefellwhuman4637]

el leñador lumberjack nice

[@lawrenceperry2002]

You are an excellent teacher, particularly because you make English come alive!

[@maksim5078]

Jade, you are the real Londoner. You are the stereotype of the real Londoner. Also your look is very "Londoner". When I was in London (I lived there for 7 months) I tried to mock the Londoners by imitating their pronounciation... One day, a girl was offended, by the fact that I was trying to imitate her Londoner pronounciation, and she said that actually my pronounciation sounded Australian...

[@SachaNichol]

As an actor, I find your videos so helpful!!!

[@Anatoli3001]

Glad you overcame the crisis! I'm glad to see your smile again! Forward Jade Jodlle! "That is strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Alfred Tennyson

[@algi1]

I always wondered what's up with the glottal stops.

[@sallyedgehill1634]

I find London language is a beauty, i like the language, and its 1 of my favorite understandable language, it reminds me of black people language from the Caribbean, lol

[@HSM84]

Welcome back Jade! It's been quite a long time! Still looking fresh and lively! Keep it up! 🌷⚘

[@robq5703]

When I visited London and Kent, I thought that some people spoke another language. Now, I know that it was Londoner English, thanks Jade.

[@omarbilloni4195]

Muy buenas tus explicaciones, entendi bastante bien las diferencias! gracias saludos desde Argentina

[@X87816]

Hi Jade, it's so good to see the old Jade again. Can hardly wait for your next video.

[@albaalvarezdenn8075]

yeah, she looks exactly the same two years ago

[@linas.5079]

Hi Jade, I actually love all your teaching videos and they do really help and entertain me a lot. I would like you to make a video about "phonetic symbols" because I study them and I always mistake with them. Thanks!

[@nemesiswww1]

Excellent Jade! We are missing your lessons

[@PeterJRam]

I work with a guy from Liverpool. He has to explain himself sometimes because of these differences from standard American English. Blimey! It's great fun! Thank you, Jade.

[@rahulsharma-fp9dj]

wonderful for beginners who want to just start with the British accent learning !!

[@kramer26]

We Brits don't pronounce T's because we drink it all...

[@dr.phil.szilviarad1076]

Welcome back Jade!

[@maurowws]

Cant believe my eyes. She's back. Just the way she used to be ---- gorgeous, easy going, carefree, with that lovely accent and natural way of speaking and teaching. Now we are all happy again. On cloud nince actually. Cheers.

[@chaymaelyrics8056]

aww!

[@masontucker2945]

I'm American, and I love London accents

[@dancinginthemoonlight7845]

As a foriegner,I've been living in London for 7 years and I got to say everthing she said is absolutely true lol. first year in London my friend said smt to me and I couldnt understand but when she repeated it then I realised she said it's better (without a T more like be-er) I found the londoner language quite fascinating. Even me now have a bad habit of saying "innit".

[@remedywithin]

Love these videos. London English seems like southern English to a degree. I love how it doesn't seem proper but is to those whom speak it. It's truly "gnarly"

[@somegirls2002]

PS You look gorgeous again. Good sign. Glad things are better. I am packing all my furniture in a storage locker, filling my suitcases, and driving as far as I can. Crime has gotten worse here and I decided to leave. I am either going out west or up towards Lake Superior --Hwy 2 which can take me from WI to Montana. Will be watching your videos and listening to them along the way. Colleen

[@franciscovazquez5301]

What a beautiful accent you have !

[@user-fb3rr8wj3y]

Can you, please more video about how to use "aint"

[@abdohish2079]

The Cockney accent ain't brown bread...It ain't true....Londerners along with Glaswegians speak with it..The problem is that both teachers and grammarians frown upon it.They associate it with England's working-class areas..

[@johnmh3180]

terrible London accent but Jade accent is great, I love it :)

[@cmlyau5553]

johnmhsieh very true lol, I’m a chinese girl living in London, I speak chinese here more than when I was in Hong Kong lol

[@introvertedsoul6175]

[@ANGELSOOMI]

Thank you, it's always good to know about other accents.

[@cristiangutierrez420]

Thanks so much Jade, very interesting this lesson! =D

[@t-dabbingt-dabber2298]

the moment i saw "innit" on the whiteboard, i knew i was watching to right video to learn a london accent

[@wongnumber584]

U r funny and u r cute 😍 your face reaction make me laugh 😂😂

[@humbertoarmas9529]

I like the way that you teach the english accent and part of the slang too, thank you so much.

[@gachamaddison5160]

I can kinda do a london accent. My great grandfather is also a londoner too. But its hard to be honest. Since I have a Maori accent

[@matronator]

Please tell me you still use "innit" in this new accent. Love that word.

[@adamamerable]

yep for example. The weather's peak fam, innit?

[@user-yz6wb7wb1g]

Of course

[@jwyz26]

Matronator yeah.. although we do get criticised by some grammar police every now and then lol

[@user-sy5yh4rf4h]

And that's what I thought too we need to a lot of your useful lessons you're the most responsible I've ever known

[@footangnanglaaggg2827]

thnks for coming back jade.

[@xandrutait]

Excellent Jade. Thou it’s not black and white. I was born in South East London near Lewisham and when I go north of the river for example “Hackney” the accent is slightly different to mine thou I think I may also have a variation called “Council Estate” twang. It is harder speaking with a London accent as it can be confusing when spelling due to the phonetics of your spoken accent. Would I like to speak posh.Probably not as that is not me or my personality but would I like to speak correct English. The answer is “Yes”.

[@JorgeGarcia-km5xr]

I'm learning a lot thanks to you .

[@enriquealonso6316]

I,ve got a 76! Ive been talking with some native english speakers from UK on internet, sometimes I can understend them well, sometimes I can barely understand few words, I dunnt know why , a Friend of mine says her accent is very posh, I´m getting more familiar with these kind of english its not the same from someone who lives in Texas, or new Mexico or Canada, I Find these english ver comfortable, its a kind of pleasure to get it in my mouth, i like it. Seea later alligator

[@jeoenriquez7151]

Thank you. You're back. ;-)

[@halashaheen8502]

[@Samsungjpro-on8me]

I actually from LA,california but i get intrested in this accent...

[@mariaschneider24ms]

Hi I'm from germany :) I understand EVERY word which you and others speak but I can't talk english fluently :( but I practice speaking english with my boyfriend sometimes on our daily routine :) We are going to do a work&travel year in Ireland and I hope that my english will be better after that :) It took me 5 minutes to write this text because I alway need some time to remember some words :D 🙈 That's my problem.. Greetings from Germany 🌹

[@sawmteafanai6505]

I really love this kind of lazy speaking. And one request: how can i sound like Guthrie Govan, the great guitarist. I really love his pronunciation. Can you upload that kind?

[@valentinruiz]

In London you can find more than 20 different accent OMG

[@gleissonfelipe7810]

Very good jade, you teache the real English spoken in London

[@jordanrussell9607]

Moving to London to live with my native Londoner fiancé. This video helps! Now if I could just figure out rhyming slang 😂

[@JohnSpo]

I'm in the states and mostly said "text" even in the past tense. It's only pretty recently that I've started using "texted". I'm not big on slang and even though I knew "text" was wrong for past tense by our standards it just always felt right for some reason.

[@marcomarkproductions]

This is hilarious

[@letssingwithshane9056]

i just love the way u teach 👌👌👌👌👌😍😍😍😍😍

[@user-rb9nq7rm5n]

It's always a reduction whenever a new accent pops up, usually resulted from and proliferated by people not being able to move their tongues properly, some of them not even native speakers of English that perhaps learned a little bit of English once moved into a new environment but hence immediately decided not to further engage.

[@JackFluck]

Hi there! A friend from London pronounces "people" in a very weird way. Is it common? It sounds something like "peeopl".

[@ilovelanguages4394]

You know what, I really really like your accent. Before I found British is hard to understand for me but after watching your "How to sound like a Posh" I felt like I can understand all what you were saying. so after that I spend my time watching British accent video.

[@muhamadfajarsidiq2403]

I love the way you speak at the last video

[@freewildebeest4882]

[@johnkhamrokulov6434]

Thank you so much dear xx. You tutorial helped a lot!!! 🤗

[@WtbgoldBlogspot]

Just found your channel while searching around for VO lessons and enjoying it so far, thanks. Also, it's interesting to hear your accent shift from a standard to a relaxed English depending on the message your trying to get across. People as "PI-pull" sometimes and "pee-poo" others.

[@michaelflynn9314]

Nice to see you here! Love your channel :)

[@333peacher4]

I like your lazy way of speaking. Good style.

[@crystalyzzed]

[@ripunjayvishwakarma2275]

this word not very competent in a particular area but sometimes it's more functional and i'm Feeling great your euphonious voice!!@!!

[@TheeHitch]

Interesting video, also noticed how the word “dem” is increasingly used to pluralise nouns ( in place of an “s” on the end) which I kinda like.

[@Baeomran]

Thank you so much Jade Joddle! Thank you ! You're very qualified and the best teacher ever. You're even better than outsider and recent vlogger outside the UK/English speaking world and teach others British accents and that person is not credible as well as was born in an English speaking country. Miss Jade Joddle, Could I ask you a question? In terms of Roadman accent, what does the word Mandem mean? Does it mean mate? Or something else? Thank you in advance!
