I know you are teaching through the Cambly app or website. I would love to take your classes but there are some issues. The schedule, I live in America, I can't afford to pay for those monthly.

[@Bonjourdimanche]

He is such a good actor and it’s even better when he talks in his native accent. Thank you for breaking it down for us.

[@jajagabour8150]

I'm from Armagh born and raised this is spot on well done

[@dM_gH]

I'm from the south of the United States. It's been difficult for me to understand the Northern Irish accent until I found your channel. Your lessons are so clear and easy to understand that I no longer find understanding much of a challenge. My husband and I plan to visit y'all someday. I feel fairly confident that I'll understand. Thanks!

[@evilpace]

I watched your "Irish accent" playlist for Colin and now there's an own video of HIS accent😂

[@tobbster99]

same lmao

[@ChrysWhite77]

I never had a problem understanding the NI accent. I absolutely love it. I guess being exposed to so many languages and accents in Uni made it easy. 🥰. I'm from the Caribbean

[@tinabelcher3722]

Came across this video because I love Colin Morgan. It was actually overall a very interesting little lesson! I also love the point about the hard "R" because I'm born and raised in New Jersey (United States) and that's something we're kind of known for too lol!

[@ungodlysponge]

Thank you for making this video!! ❤️

[@maevakandy2144]

Oh thank you for this video! 🙏 I love this actor and his accent ! Have a good day! 😁😇🙏

[@jLjtremblay]

As a resident of the Upper Midwest in the U.S., I have to say I love Colin's accent, but it can be a challenge at times to understand. Nice video! Thanks for doing this.

[@hettiperera6526]

I am from Armagh after 45 years in another country my accent has not changed.

[@jadekim5752]

I thought always of interesting about his accent~! Thanks your video!

[@BXMKE]

My family is from Armagh.

[@FirstLast-dt5jk]

I think my obsession on Colin just shines coz i literally found this out of nowhere 🤣🤣🤣 but i do learn a lot from your video. Glad i did find you

[@camy5129]

This is fascinating.

[@lukedaley17]

As a kid I’ve enjoyed Colin Morgan’s performance as Merlin. I only recently discovered he is Northern Irish.

[@rmhjules7295]

Thank You!!! I ❤️him!!!

[@coreyc1685]

I'm from Armagh and one of my English ex's used to take piss out of the way I said 'car'. It sounds more like 'cyar', much like Colin saying 'cyast' and 'cyategory'. I was impressed she picked up on it because most English people in my experience can't tell the difference in Irish accents, nevermind noticing something so specific about the Armagh accent.

[@juanernestobarajassanchez3782]

I wish you could be my personal teacher. Actually my English sounds like yours.

[@yourordinarypieceofshite8982]

Can you do a video about the accent in Tyrone ? Love your videos

[@TorriTheGreat]

Colin's got the best accent ever!😍😍♥️👌🏽

[@pilotactor777]

wow-you are good!

[@johnlavery6116]

He is spot on, good lesson.......Armagh.

[@Xoyqkii]

I’m from Armagh

[@counterleo]

I can do the Northern Irish O easily, which is actually present in some English accents, mostly used by younger people, but in different contexts: for exemple in "hello" or "no", but not in "now" or "out". For the first one ('voting') I feel like most of the time when the T is swallowed (glottal stop) then an -in will follow instead of an -ing even in English accents. However when the T is pronounced the -ing will follow.

[@PS-ru2ov]

Please do a North coast of Northern Ireland accent pleasssse

[@searchindex3438]

Do County Mayo please ❤

[@latte1435]

im also from armagh

[@Lavish1717]

He’s so cute 😍

[@solgato5186]

The accent sounds a lot like the local accent here in northeastern New York state in the USA.

[@kirapetrovic7291]

Can you do a video on Jamie Dornan’s accent please?

[@AlsActionEnglish]

Yes, I'll add it to the list.

[@elenajc2827]

Yo estoy aquí por Mi Colin, todo por poder entender su sexy y hermoso acento, aunque está difícil ya que, hablo español jaja aunque también hablo Japonés, pero eso tampoco me ayudará. T_T;

[@jassi0510]

Could you also do a video on Katie Mcgrath's accent please?

[@AlsActionEnglish]

Isn't she from the Republic of Ireland rather than Northern Ireland?

[@timsekac6648]

@@AlsActionEnglish she is indeed from the Republic of Ireland, so Mabey Kenneth Brannagh's accent instead?

[@liketheroman]

Two hot Nordies.

[@adamfurqan9811]

Can I ask some question ? British and Irish is not same right ?

[@BadDubII]

100% different. Look up the history and you will see why that question would even annoy people lol

[@adamfurqan9811]

@@BadDubII thank you

[@marta_8664]

I don't think Merlin is a sticom 🤔

[@Melissa.Garrett]

I was about to say the same thing! Maybe it had an element of comedy in the beginning, but by the end, definitely not.
