Nice one! If you can understand Liam Gallagher, you can understand almost anyone in English! 🙂 It's real English... they should use interviews with LG in proficiency exams 🤣

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

@@mipiki2006 👍🙂

[@Freeholder74]

And what exactly would such interviews test in proficiency exams ? 80 % of communication in English is non-native to non-native speaker, and an overwhelming majority of users of English don't give a fuck about regional British accents. They are merely linguistic curiosities of interest to a handful of hobbyists or those who may have to live in the UK for a while.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

@@Freeholder74 Well... it would test the student's ability to understand a thick regional accent. But i wasn't being serious. I agree with you... non-native to non-native communication is more relevant in the modern world.

Paradossalmente l'accento di Manchester è quello più facile da parlare per un italiano perché le lettere e le parole pronunciate hanno un suono molto vicino all'italiano a differenza dell'accento di Londra più difficile da pronunciare ma più facile da capire

You've become the number one, man. These lessons immerse you in a native level. Keep this up!

[@Sauvageonne]

That was great. I lived in Manchester quite a few years. This is by far my favourite place in the UK. Some people are more articulate than Gallagher yet they keep a strong accent. So it's possible to understand. I have to say the F word is as common up there as "innit" is in London. The nasal aspect is unmistakable. Noticed as well the northern way of saying "I was standing", "I was sitting" which is "I was stood", "I was sat". I heard for the first time people saying "I'm having me dinner" to say they were having lunch (then I heard it years later in the South West). Everywhere you go people call you "love", "flower", "sweetie". Gotta love the North!

I'm in the midst of a show set in Manchester and thought I'd look up Mancunian. Yours is the 2nd vid I watched and it was so much more informative than the other vid and article that I looked like. Your repetition of short segments to enable the listener to catch the features you discussed was extremely helpful. I'm now set to watch some of your other videos.

De dónde eres?

[@elisa.iseppi8818]

It made me laugh when you mentioned his frequent use of “you know what I mean” because as a foreigner studying English, I catch myself picking up different features as I go, depending on the people I’m listening to the most at a certain time. Louis Tomlinson tends to use this specific sentence more often than not and since I’ve been watching him for ages I’ve picked it up as well lol

[@EatSleepDreamEnglish]

Yes you are so right, Louis T does it too. I guess we all have our own verbal ticks. I've definitely got mine lols! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video Elisa : )

[@MarineMarin13]

I loved the exercise and as a french actress who's good at accents, i think it's a nice way to work on them and I've been learning this accent for a few days and it's quite fascinating to see the differences. Your videos are helping me a lot. I can't afford a dialect coach for the moment, so I just use my ability to copy to learn, through your videos, and films and interview.. i take notes and it helped me tremendously to get the basics on some of them i don't often hear here in France or on youtube or Netflix shows/movies.

I understood pretty much everything, but then - I have lived in Manchester for 3 years now :D I love a good Manny accent. Also, there's a big variety of accents within Manchester as well. You get South Manchester, which is not as strong, then towards Stockport where it get's all mixed up. North Manc, which is a lot thicker, then Bury. Bolton has got a lot of common features with South Yorkshire, and you also get Salford, and all them towards Altrincham or Warrington etc. Also! I really enjoy your videos!

[@mckenzieschumacher9225]

Both my grandparents were born and raised in Manchester but moved to America in their mid-twenties. They still have their accents but they are definitely weaker now that they've lived most their lives in America. Other people think my grandparents' accents are strong but my sister and I feel we're so used to them we barely even notice. We've traveled to Manchester twice to visit relatives there and my family has never had any trouble understanding Mancunians but we definitely notice their accents are stronger than our grandparents. Our relatives from Manchester have noted that in their opinion, we speak slowly - we're from the Southeast of America.

[@TheDradge]

Great video. You ought to look at how Manchester accents are nuanced across the city (citeh). There's a section where they will say "chimley" instead of "chimney" and "lickle" instead of "little". There's a sort of Rochdale sound and a different Swinton/Salford sound. When you get down to the street level it's a fascinating city for its nuanced dialect and accent.
