Aye I actually enjoyed this video ☺️ I've a new found love for my own accent (being a girl from Derry) it's really interesting when you break it down in comparison to other dialects from Northern Ireland. Fascinating.

It sounds as though the American accent is more related to the Irish accent.

Love your analysis as always, Al! "Catch yourself on" is her definite best phrase, although I'm also partial to "Do you think I came up the Foyle in a bubble?" 😂

Both in the video, one to kick off and one prominent throughout! What's your take on the difference between a Derry and Belfast accent?

@@AlsActionEnglish I think that Tara manages the differences between the Belfast and the Derry accent perfectly. You'd really notice the diphthongs once you point them out, as well as the shortening of certain vowels. By the way, which is your personal favourite Ma Mary expression?

Ma Mary has a pretty clear Belfast accent, in my opinion.

I love your videos and I love the Northern Irish accent, I am not a English speaker, would it sound ridiculous if I speak English with a Northern Ireland accent or should I speak with an American accent?
@AlsActionEnglish3 жыл бұрын
That depends on a few things. The strength of your NI accent and where you are living perhaps being the main two. What's your motivation to speak English with a Northern Irish accent?

@@AlsActionEnglish I love how more emotional the NI accent is, I like that it has a bigger presence and it is more romantic. I must say I enjoy watching Derry girls for the accent, it adds a lot to character development.

@@AlsActionEnglish Yeah I know, I have been watching all of them actually. For some reason I just love the way most Irish accents sound specially the ones from Northern Ireland, the up and down rythm on each sentence, I mean I´m actually crazy about Irish culture in general I guess, I even had the oportunity to go to Dublin for the first time in my life 2 years ago and I so I wanted to see if one could acquire a different accent just by practicing even though you don´t exactly live in that specific place. Needless to say that I find language learning fascinating.

she doesn't do a great Derry accent. It's more of a Belfast accent. The actress is from Belfast.
