Very well composed video, excellently informed and entertaining, as a dubliner😊

Thank you so much! That means a lot!

I like the Irish accent. It is pleasant to the ear.

Scottish accent is the worst lol

[@josephmorris1793]

As a Dubliner I couldn't stop laughing. She's captured and dissected the accent so well that I thought she must be Irish. She's not. What an ear she has.

[@mkmsjk]

As a polyglot I'm really impressed with your easy and fluid transition from RP to Hiberno-English. Terrific. Cheers

That has helped me a lot for my Irish accent training. Thank you

The “Great Vowel” shift circa 16-17 hundred which changed pronunciation of certain vowels in Britain did not affect Dublin accents which stayed pretty much as it always was . With “O” being pronounced “Ow” as for example “a owld” for old or “bowl” for bowl etc . For example people will say “oh he has an “owld” cold or flu … which does not refer to the “age “ of the illness but rather how common it may be !

Hi my lovely! :-) my ray of sunshine, my ears' delight, my very Rose of England 🌹😊 What a talent and what a great lesson Sabrah! You described the features so magnificently. It is true that it's a beautiful accent and I believe you when you say that it's considered to be the sexiest of English accents. In any case, as you say it, I'm totally smitten and under the spell, and, as far as I'm concerned,it reaches new heights of sensuality. I don't think I've finished watching the video to taste it even more and soak it all in! When I saw Brendan Gleeson, I told to myself: I know that guy and then he spoke of braveheart and I immedietly pictured Hamish It's funny because I saw the film again very recently (for the tenth time probably ... and I still cried my eyes out at all the scenes with the beautiful Murron in particular ;-) As a matter of fact, in response to your request, and even though I have little doubt so much you are good at accents, do you think you'd be able to tell us about the Scottish accent and its characteristics? ... You’d give me great pleasure! Inutile de te dire à quel point j'ai adoré te retrouver et aimé la leçon ! Sans mentionner que tu es plus belle que jamais ! :-) Merci infiniment Sabrah ! Au grand plaisir de te revoir très vite ! 🙏👏👏👏 Thank you so much! Je T'M, bisous bisous 😘🌹❤❤❤💞 🍀 Freedom, Peace, Justice, TRUTH ❤ ☮ 🕊 🌏 🇦🇺 NOW! ... ASSANGE Julian FREE 🇺🇲 🇬🇧 🌎

I am interested in the difference between the northern/Belfast and the southern/Dublin accent. I know the placement of the "house" vowel is more forward in Belfast, but I'm not sure I've identified much more.

[@ahlamnoori77]

Hi my teacher

[@frostgale]

I'm Thai but someone said on my live stream chat that my accent sounds Irish. So i am here to check and see 😂

[@Paraninja]

Speaking as a native Dub this is very good. The one adjustment I would make is on point 4. This is the one feature people doing an Irish accent almost always get wrong to the extent that we have a term for it; stage Oirish. It is like an imitation of an imitation of an imitation of an imitation and quite divorced from the real thing. If you want your Irish voice to sound authentic do not lean in to this feature as much as others do. I wish I could give better direction that that; the I sound is different but it is not as close to "oy" as many think.

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

Thanks so much for this feedback ! It is super helpful! 👍

The Dublin accent if practiced would sound Northern Irish. Fab vid by the way. Big hiya from Darlington.

[@MrMelmott]

It’s the vowel sounds which make the Irish accent different from any accents in Britain .

[@honza8832]

Dear Madam Teacher Sabrah,many thanks for next great,brilliant lesson (of course - like always).Btw - I've heard, that people in Ireland speak Irish language too (absolutely different from English - probably,similar like a Celtic,Gaelic language?). Kind of ancient language? Thanks a lot again and have a beautiful day.

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

Yes they speak Gaelic. Thanks for your comment! Glad you liked the video!

[@simonepadano1]

Maybe it’s just me, but I always found similarities between Irish accent and American, probably because the massive amount of Irish immigrants in the US influenced the accent there. Is that possible?

[@alexajones2331]

In dublin we’ve got middle class and working class people , and there 2 completely different accents like Barry Keoghans very working class his accents different to Aidan Turner.

Oh dear,, as you said accent is so nice and sweet, but I had a terrible experience with an Irish bloke at a pub in Australia when I was studying there.. The incident goes like this, I was just sitting over at the corner of this pub and this macho looking irish bloke came and struck a conversation with me immediately ... So, he started speaking so fast that I didn't understand a word of what he was saying and the worst thing was not only his accent but the music and the peoples loud voice made matters worst for us to have a decent conversation and he just went on and on and spoke to me like 5 minutes and since I didn't respond anything to him, what he did was like he grabbed by my collar and took me outside and he just said angrily, dude I have been asking you all this time, what was your name and where you were from and that's all that I have been asking you for the past 10 minutes 😂😂 and the moment he said this that I couldn't stop laughing for the next 10 minutes and that's Irish and they are absolutely fun loving people.. 😂❤🤩🤩 That's my little story on Irish, wish you have a good day and see you later my dear.. 🙏 Hugs.xoxoxo Gams ❤️

There are 2 to 5 different accents within Dublin city🎉

Can you give more details about them?

The 6 main accents in Dublin would be North Dublin suburbs, North Dublin City, Inner City, West Dublin, South Dublin and finally South Dublin suburbs. They are mostly attached to whether the area is working class, middle class or what is know as "West British" upper middle class areas.

Bit of fun. Actors tend to soften things when talking on American interviews. I’ve loads of dub friends. More on the north side and the city centre there’s more of a nasal o sound with words like “don’t, going, know.” I tends to sound like something between auy and oy. There’s a subtle pattern in sentences that has a bit of “ah jeez here we go again” Auy daownt knaow heww ta dew diss 😂 Bote den a gann Auymm joost a yank. If you’re ever at a loss just inhale sharply whilst saying “yea.”🤣

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

Can you explain a bit more ?

[@monomakes]

I'm interested why you say 'British' as opposed to 'English' when referring to the accent. Surely it's more accurate to distinguish the accents by the individual countries in Britain.

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

My natural accent and the accent of a lot of people in the South is still referred to as the Standard Southern British accent. It is a linguistic term actually that you will hear any phonics teacher at the moment using. I agree it is essentially an English accent but I think British accents still have many similar base sounds even if you have a Welsh accent, Scottish etc, Southern British etc That may be why. The accents from the Republic of Ireland however are not British they are Irish and I hope I have made that very clear in the video.
