Everyone knows every language, just at different levels.

When i went to Prague I thought I had some knowledge in the language. I forgot all numerals except two and forty two and said hello instead of thanks all the time. I never ordered just one of pastries so I was full all the time. I am happy I remembered two at least .

You are not quite right in saying NZers reverse dress and kit vowels; you have the dress vowel about right but the kit vowel is closer to the shwer... Which is why Australians love hearing Kiwis at airports looking for the 'chicken counter'

As someone who wants to record podfics for certain fandoms, I really wanna master a few regional American accents represented in said fandoms without sounding like the worst mimic ever or like I'm mocking those with said accent. Also a particular Irish variant (If I try an Irish accent for too long I end up sliding toward my generic American accent without thinking and it's annoying to my perfectionist brain). I'm an Australian, so I can pull off UK-English accents fairly well, but regional US ones trip me up and I would like to not be tripped up. This series could be a _goldmine_ for me.

C’mon now mate. You’re making this up I reckon. Kiwis don’t have accents. Those Aussies across the dutch certainly do though.

It is going to be used so much when Romance scammers want to trick people who want new partners. And this time I'm actually scared. Because you can't help your mom or dad not being scammed.

For me, the key to any accent is finding what it feels like in my mouth, then speaking while maintaining that feeling. I think that finding that feeling must be more complicated that I think it is because I can't describe exactly how I do it. I was once demonstrating my Italian accent (speaking English) to an Italian girl I had recently met. She exclaimed, "Calabrese!" The people who I was copying were mostly from Calabria, so I must have it pretty good.

I speak 4 languages and love linguistics but these people who say they can speak 20 when they just know a few of the most basic sentences so it sounds like they can converse just piss me off

That pause got me 😭

persian is my second language which ive spoken my whole life with... average skill... but since my first language is german, i tended to say "i make x" when i didnt know the proper verb for a situation. except, my Entire Life, none of my family bothered to tell me that "make" is also generally slang for well, "doing it", just like in english! this /makes/ me embarrassed! 😂

Is the creator of this video wearing a kippah? Also, one time in Spanish I said that it felt like all my knowledge of Spanish left my beer (cerveza) instead of my brain (cabeza)

kroket is good asshole

8:17 but you didn't explain how it's inaccurate. both statements are true.

my p in spit is way more aspirated than yours. but my pit is still a little more aspirated than my spit.

So where can I go to find the phoneme sets for various English accents?

re: intonation -- my favorite is listening to flight attendants rattle off the entire spiel in English but with their primary language's intonation. I should try to figure out the lexical set (?) of the various generations of Chinese-English speakers...

So true, the more languages one has a certain level of knowledge of, the harder it gets to honestly answer the question ‘how many languages do you speak’

I wanted to say I am going to eat poutine. Instead I said I was going to eat putain.

lmbo everyone knows aave pronounces thought like thout. it's in the rae srummerd no flex zone video.

lol cot-caught is merged like everywhere

My favorite story to tell as a sign I’d end up studying language variation was asking my first grade teacher in Staten Island why the worksheet said dog and frog were rhyming words. We were told us not to count on the spelling but to listen to the sound, so I did!

Do you think linguistics and other soft sciences have a way of knowing? or are they just bullshit?

Serious question, is it worth my time to advance my Spanish to the "broken" level? Or just stick to English.

7th grade. Spanish 1. I told the class i was pregnant instead of embarrassed 🥲

Bret’s dead??

Rural Appalachia, particularly in West Virginia, was the hardest for me to understand despite growing up a couple hours away. I remember that when my dad remarried, my step-mother's side of the family was from nearer the Ohio/WV boarder and just that distance was enough that I had new vocabulary (I remember pocketbook and commode as a couple of examples) compared to the rest of my family (mostly central Ohio).

I once told a woman she had a nice....booty, in Japanese, mistaking kutsu (shoes) with ketsu (booty). Luckily, I was pointing at the shoes, so after a moment of shocked confusion on her face she realized what I was on about.

Do you know Lieberman?

Thanks, great tips! I AM 80% NICER AFTER SOMEONE COMPLIMENTS MY ACCENT.

Thank you very much for making this video. I found it interesting and I hope you continue to do so. Have a nice day and I hope your dinner tonight is good.

I dated a South African girl once. For the first few weeks I understood maybe 30% of what he said. All I did was smile and nod... It worked pretty well, though. We've been married for 14 years...

Many years ago I commented on a friend's Scottish accent. I told her I didn't have one. She then said, "You have a lovely Canadian accent." Since the internet became a huge resource I began researching accents. Pretty impressive.

inclides paid is fake video

shabbat shalom ur so cute

Dr Geoff Lindsay has a few videos talking about the 'intrusive' r (which he argues should be called connective r. He often brings up clips of actors from either side of the pond, either Americans forgetting to use it in a British accent, or Brits using it when they shouldn't in an American accent. The thing is he's very interested in this, so he can easily spot it. You didn't even mention it so now I wonder how important it really is relative to getting vowels right.. Does the average English speaker from either side of the pond notice it used wrong? Does the average didn't-write-a-thesis-on-RP linguist notice it?

When I was in highschool, a kid from Guatemala had transferred to my school knowing no English. I was the only one around that was fluent in Spanish, so I volunteered to help him learn to play the guitar. I learned, however, that speaking and translating are two completely different skills and I suck at translation in real time. While I was mostly fluent in conversational Spanish, I knew very few musical terms like metronome, beat, string, tune, pegs, shift, pluck, etc. Furthermore, I was used to the Puerto Rican accent of my household and the "standard" Latinoamerican accent taught in school, but could not understand his thick, possibly rural Guatemalan accent at all

I'll give you two of my (kiwi) accent not being understood 1. Working in London in a wine shop and not understanding why the customer did not wanting to buy the wine that I had said was better, when she explained she did not like bitter wine 2. On a wrestling tour to the States and Canada had crossed into Canada on foot and then returning sitting in no mans land waiting for my party to catch up I was approached by a US boarder guard who asked what I was doing 'Oh don't worry I'm just waiting for those guys to come through', he went to is radio and asked for a Polish translator.

The "Yall might not believe this but I used to have a real thick Tennessee accent" had me belly laugh hard enough to shed tears dude 😂😅

I was in Tennessee once for Bonnaroo, a multi-day concert they host there, and someone asked me if i had a ladder. I looked at them like they were crazy and responded with "a ladder?" They said "Yeah, a ladder" and looked at me like I was crazy for questioning them. I just responded with "Why the f*** would i have a ladder??" to which they responded by doing the universal hand gesture for flicking a lighter as they once again repeated "a ladder." "Oh, you mean a LIGHTer" I said as i passed him my lighter. After that we both broke out laughing. We actually ended up talking about how I thought they had a crazy accent and they thought I had a crazy accent. They then proceeded to teach me how to ask for a lighter in a good ol' southern drawl. To this day, one of my all time favorite interactions I've ever had.

You can't brag about your Dutch and how it's easy and make a huge syntax error in the same video man 😆

Funny that you mention John C. Wells being famous for lexical sets. I only knew him as having been President of the Universal Esperanto Association, my dad worked with him there in the early 90s

I used the link to go to the Lingpole site, but it wouldn't let me create account with my email. I've sent in a customer service request. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

I received a scholarship to attend a prep school in Massachusetts. I quickly had to suppress my West Virginia accent because I was bullied a lot. The students were extremely wealthy and from many different locations. I'm not sure what accent I use. I noticed that I do slip in a broad A here and there. Bahk for back. When I'm speaking to people from West Virginia, my accent comes back automatically. I have to consciously keep myself from mimicking other people's accents when speaking to them. I am B1 in Spanish, and apparently my accent is so Guatemalan that people in Mexico don't like me much because they don't like Guatemalans. My grammar on the other hand...

ipa?

In Swahili, there is a future tense!

I’m studying German right now and I study for literally 2-3 hours a day using a multitude of methods AND I have a personal tutor for 2 hours a week. While I am learning a lot, I still have plateaus where I feel like my progress has stopped and like I will never truly become fluent. I have a goal of learning 5,000 words this year and a very specific way to track my progress…. So when I see those “how to learn any language in 24 hours” videos I already have the bullshit meter blaring. But it was very very nice to hear this reiterated from a language expert ❤️

But what about rhythm? When I asked a specialist about Scottish accent, one of key things she mentioned is the specific rhythm.
