Yeah, "big games", for example.

I understood every word he said

I understood every word too...but then I am from North London (COYS!) 😊

It took me a second but I could understand everything he said. Their subtitles were so off though lmao, I think the Irish guy had it the closest

It isn’t New Zealand it’s Oceania

What

came to the comments looking for this

I would still say Scots is a dialect of English

@@eddhardy1054 well it's like Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Icelandic or Portuguese and Spanish or Ukrainian and Russian. Mutually intelligible with each other to a significant extent especially in the written forms but nevertheless classified as separate languages due to various reasons. Scotland is still a country and so should be able to classify Scots as a language.

@@Gadavillers-Panoir so using that logic American, Australian, New Zealand & South African English are all separate languages rather than dialectical variations then?

@@eddhardy1054 if you are referring to the standard forms of each those then those are just accents not even dialects. 🙄 Each of those are perfectly mutually intelligible with each other. No basis to classify them as separate languages.

@@Gadavillers-Panoir that's not true at all. Each of them differs in varying degrees regarding both lexicon & pronunciation. If you think they're mutually intelligible try watching an American listen to an Aussie (or a Brit who isn't using standard RP English for that matter) speak. They almost always have to use a subtitles facility. As to not classing them as separate languages, well that's my point exactly and works just as well when referring to the Scots dialect. 😊

Ikr lmao I was like girl you’re representing us 🤦🏻‍♀️

ikr, not just slow but she also seems a little out of touch with pop culture lmao like how did you not know that was frozen c’mon?!??

as a Brit I would love it if you had an example of these accents from a young person (usually they're all in their 90s lol)

I get asked where in NEW York do I live, When I tell them , NOWHERE I live in Vermont, I get very weird looks, you have an NY accent, I tell them NO I don't.

@@marydavis5234 we had a Police chief here in L.A named ;Bill Bratton about 15 yrs ago who had come from NYC. One day I was watching a local morning news show where he'd go on and talk about what was going on in the city crime wise( during his tenure, the overall crime rate was at its lowest since the 1992 riots. Do to hime having m been at One PP NYPD HQ) for several years before being with LAPD since the Early 90s, -had a NYC , (maybe Brooklyn or Queens )accent or so I thought. He told a story saying everyone thinks he's originally from NYC , but when he tells a person he's Boston born and raised, at first they don't believe him. He said that this is because most people are more familiar with the NYC accent from actors actresses like Robert DeNiro, Fran Drescher, Ray Romano to Debi Mazat etc who are from the City , he said he that most people outside of NYC can't really distinguish between other North East accents like the Boston accent. Even tho

Find a Newfie first

@@mar754 Somewhere in Korea

I binged Big Brother Canada & I agree. Will from season 6 was especially rough.

As someone who lives in the south west of the UK i find the Newfoundland accent pretty cool. It's like the perfect mix of west country and Irish set to a Canadian tone of speech.

I don't think a geordie accent is too hard to understand. Easier than strong, rural accents from Ireland, Wales, Scotland and even some parts of England

@@generichuman2044 same

I'm from Germany and I found it easier to understand people in Lancaster than people in London. 😂

@@helgaioannidis9365 Which part of Germany？ N or S?

From a Singaporean, ngl, I do agree that her accent is kinda strong, probably more so for foreigners. (the Frozen Singlish dub is the worst for foreigners to understand imo. That's Singlish at its 100%) But the good thing is, at least, you can get a feel of how some of us sound like in Singapore. We're a small nation, but our accents can vary quite a bit because of many reasons: friends, entertainment influence, teachers, and your own cultural background (because when a country like Singapore promotes bilingualism/multilingualism, it is only normal that some of us unknowingly retain certain key features from certain languages when speaking English). But what binds us together is really the slangs and and “mutually intelligible” creole called Singlish with loan words stemming from a multitude of different languages (example: leh, lorh, lah, sia, dey, eh).

I'm from Singapore. Personally i think Singlish is just lazy talk. I'm Malay Singaporean and i don't talk like that.

@@kittyfam269 I can see why you think of Singlish that way. Singlish started out as a coping medium for people who spoke different tongues to attempt at communicating to one another in English, and at its core, it's still broken English. Yet as the country progressed, with English becoming more commonplace, and even overtaking the dominance of our own mother tongues, there is an increasing awareness for the need to code-switch appropriately. Perhaps that's why as we have gotten better grasp of the English language, Singlish started to tone down from its position as “complete broken and improper English”, to a form of auxiliary word and intensifier in our informal daily speech, even when we're generally using more standard English sentence structures. Kind of like what I'm doing now in this sentence lorh. I think it still serves a purpose lah, albeit coming from less than ideal roots. To be very honest, I didn't think that code-switching is a very strong suit for our representative in this particular video, hence her accent still sounds a little “thick” for the foreign ear. Despite that, I'm sure she is most definitely a polyglot and is still gifted in multiple languages for her to be surviving in Korea, a foreign land. She's very impressive imo! 😄

Yes but it's mostly because she speaks broken English

Cuz it’s not a real english accent, it’s like made up

Yeah lol they were way off!! Who even wrote those?

In my opinion, they are usually pretty wrong

@@dingus42 I've got no clue lol - I ain't even a native speaker and I still understood everything he said

subs are always wrong on this channel

I've asked Spanish-only speakers if they can distinguish when someone is speaking with a European English, American, or a different accent and most time they say they'll notice only if they pay close attention

and "Eoghan" is the traditional Irish spelling of the name. :)

What do you mean by if a black person can represent an American?
