Was trying to figure out what Alex Turner was saying in interviews and here I am.

[@letololol]

SAME

[@najwatiarani9939]

OMG SAME

[@mrbungeealwaysrhymes9023]

I just wanted to hear if everyone sounded like him 💀

[@madi2054]

STOP- ME TOOOO

[@silverfirefly585]

me too omg

[@pianoman598]

"Cutlers Hall." "Ecclesall?" "Cutlers Hall." "Ecclesall Road?" "CUTLERS HALL."

[@analuizanb]

Awesome

[@Tom_Quixote]

She should have said "Cutler's hall". The apostrophe works wonders.

[@pauljohnashmore]

No. If you must be pedantic it's The Cutlers' Hall (belonging to the Company of Cutlers)

[@ns8851]

That was the best part, cuz it gave me confidence , that even native speakers don't understand each other.

[@1977Futre]

@@ns8851 lol, happens to me in Taiwan...locals constantly asking each other what they said....I am like great, so Chinese isn't just hard for me.

[@alelollipop1903]

For some reason, as a non native speaker, I understand Yorkshire accent better than, let’s say, Londoner’s. Probably because of Arctic Monkeys 🙈 cheers, greetings from Italy!

[@sterling.3745]

Love artic monkeys great taste

[@HelloKittykat21]

Probably to do with the fact that we had Italian immigration to the city for work along with the Irish and this would no doubt have influenced the workers speaking style 😊

[@nonacidic8152]

I'm sooooo in love with Sheffield accent!

Me too! Alex Turner haha

[@Violentcelery]

Literally 90% of the people in this video don't have Sheffield accents. They're all Londoners or students from the south.

[@coryinthehouse5734]

[@johnstevenson1709]

There's not many left wi a proper shefld accent and even less ow us shefld dialect weir's the bin laik abaht t'neet lass ect

[@safrasmercado1971]

Yes

[@Tom_Quixote]

I was actually wondering about that, because I looked up the video because I heard the Sheffield accent was something special. I thought most of them had a quite normal English pronounciation.

[@drghdrgh1140]

@@Tom_Quixote i don't think this video was about the accent but about people that lived there.

[@janeibbotson8387]

Sheffield is a fantastic city to live in. There is always plenty of things to see and do. You are only a 10 minute drive from the center for fabulous views of the country side, which not many people know about unless your from Sheffield !! It's well worth a visit if only for a weekend. Iv'e lived here all my life and never been bored with it and i'm in my early 60's !

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

I live in Leeds now and I miss Sheffield quite a bit. Though at least in Leeds the shops are actually in town, not shoved in a crappy shopping mall miles away.

[@craig1538]

[@berzentyle]

I'm not a native speaker and nowadays I try a listening practice as much as I could. I found that your video clips are very useful! Thank you!

[@YanaKrasouskaya]

1. gunna - (informal) going to. "we're gunna be finding out" 2. dreary - dull, bleak, and lifeless; depressing. "in this dreary town" 3. buzz - a humming sound; an atmosphere of excitement and activity. "The buzz around the streets" 4. Sheff United - an English professional association football club based in the city of Sheffield. Blades - Sheffield United's predominant nickname. "Big Blades fan?" 5. 'cause - because. "...

[@lilic1]

I have just discovered Easy English, it is f.a.n.t.a.s.t.i.c.! The best way to learn new words and the pronunciation is listening to what people talk on the streets. And subtitles are a must for non-English speaker. thanks for sharing it, good job!

[@johnoakley6362]

My Father was Sheffield born & bred, only those Painters & decorators came anywhere close to my Dad's accent.

[@martinwilkinson7939]

Sheffield is the real Winterfell, the actors for House Stark and the other 'Northerners' copied Sean Bean's Sheffield Yorkshire accent.

Mexican in Sheffield for a spring vacation! awesome place!

[@christinecharlton629]

I'm live in Florida but my mom, grandparents and aunts were from Sheffield. They came to the US in 1929. I think I was one of the few Americans who had no trouble understanding a strong Yorkshire accent. The two gentlemen sitting on the ledge talking about decorators sounded just like my grandparents did! I can still hear my grandma chiding us kids not to go mucking about!

My 2 yrs in Sheffield was so memorable right from the people and the places around you would definitely have breathtaking views and best coffee shop and tea shops on London road and the best is bragazzis . A wonderful place for experiencing all types of weather on the same day 😁. With accent I took me some few takes to understand bottle of water 😁 I love Sheffield

[@alisafarpour2131]

The English accent spoken by the lady who recommended Cutlers Hall is ear-catching.

[@danielanargya1045]

Was hoping someone would pronounce 'something' the way Alex did in Do I Wanna Know

[@SirOreo62]

I’m an American who interacts mostly with Londoners. So I don’t have much experience distinguishing British accents from other parts of England when I listen to them. But this Sheffield accent surely jumps at me very singularly.

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

It's wonderful. Hard to get hold of though!

[@APaez-gv9ee]

bro they say they would change the weather, but i'd love to live with a weather like that!! I suppose we always want what we don't have

I'm actually Kathleen Kehoe not my husband Tom. I live in "Upstate New York". My great grandfather Thomas Henry Earnshaw came from Sheffield. He was a cutler, knife maker. I never heard his voice so I wanted to hear what he might have sounded like. He moved to New York State when he was a fairly young man in the last quarter of the 19th century.
