I live on the Navajo Indian Reservation in NM. I understood every single accent. Navajos also have a accent.
It depends on your goals. Your goal may be to simply be able to talk to native speakers. Or you goal may be to understand any kind of native media like books, films, music, etc. You can talk to native speakers by using "baby language", meaning very simple vocabulary and very simple grammar. Most native speakers will be able to understand you, and as long they also use baby language with you, you will be able to understand them. So to become conversational is not that difficult. You can learn simple vocabulary and grammar very quickly, in a few weeks, even a few days. But if you want to understand any kind of media like books, films, etc, then baby language is not enough. Then you have to spend a lot of time reading books, watching films, etc. Talking to native speakers is not that important or even necessary. People in this category may spend very little time talking to native speakers, so they may be very poor at conversation, sounding robotic, or unnatural. But these are the people who have a much larger vocabulary and grammar knowledge. Acquiring a vocabulary large enough to understand native books can take several years. Even so, I believe 3 years is more or less enough to achieve a reasonable level of fluency.
I’ve lived in Dallas pretty much my whole life all these accents sounded clear as day lol
I spent summers with family in Arizona and my grandparents had a café. People would come in just to hear me talk😂. They even gave me tips😂.
If I had money, didn’t have much responsibilities or have to worry about money, and my only goal was to learn a language , oh yeah easy to learn a language in a year .
wow your talking abaut my country el pulgarcito de america El Salvador
Texas is a state of contradictions and dumfckry. The racism here is real “y’all”
I grew up in Texas, lived in Tennessee for eight years, and currently live in Ohio and I don't have any accent unless i get excited which is rare
Sounds like home. 🤠
When I go to the mainland everyone that talks to me ask me ....what accent is that? And I'm like...I have an accent??😮
They make these languages up just to mess with us.
GREAT VIDEO!Love your honesty!Thanks
Literally born and raised in the Piney Woods in the Davey Crockett National forest (pine trees everywhere) alot of words I don't pronounce right and alot of words I use like fixin, y'all, ain't, dadgumit,naw. Once when i went to Houston which I pronounce Uston a store clerk told me I have a beautiful southern accent. I was like you live further south then me. Then we went up North Texas and a woman heard me talk and said your from East Texas right. Yep, she guessed a town literally 20 miles from were I was raised.
I laugh every time I watch FARGO - I’m not sure if that’s a made up accent but it’s run throughout all the series
The saddest thing is that these dialects are spoken by less n less ppl in China right now. Children cannot speak their own regional dialects any more. Everyone speaks mandarin.
Howdy from Htown. Keep saying weird things.
My mom, an educated Londoner, spoke RP. Her dad though was from Sith Ifrica. Gramere was Swiss. I’m a Connecticut Yankee ridiculed as a child in public school because my proper British accent was thought pretentious. Thank God they didn’t hear me speaking Francais with my grannie.
Gig 'em, Aggies.
Alabama & North Carolina I had no clue. But that last lady talking...I could listen to her talk all day! West Virginia I was torn between it & Virginia. The rest I guessed right. However for the life of me I don't know how! I heard some of those accents a particular state just came to mind. Great video!
That Sir was one of the most relevant and smooth transitions to a sponsor I have ever seen. Now what part of Texas am I from?
More Englishplaing about how difficult Welsh is.
Come to Nashville and check out all the different accents. I raised 3 kids here, and they all have very different accents!
I grew up in southern Oklahoma and I’ve spent the last decade living in Texas. From Amarillo to Dallas to Austin and I don’t recall ever hearing any accents.
You left Virginia, the home of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, out of your graphic of the South.
I’m from San Antonio tx and we have all of those here lol ayyyyya
What rubbish, all languages are difficult or confusing to people who haven't learnt them.
I grew up in South Carolina and Kentucky but I lived in New England a bit and have been in Indiana a long while. I've been to to 37 states. The only accents in US I've had a hard time is old Boston, Gichi Accent in Southeast coast and thick Cajun..... for the most part, due to much British television I can understand British accents from Kent to London to Liverpool, Birmingham, York, lowlands Scots and most Irish accents. Cornish, Manx, Highlands accents are much tougher..... granted if British folks start speaking slang I understand less as they would here.......I do have friends that I can't share my love of Monty Python, BlackAdder i.e. because they can't understand it but those sound clear as day to me, even as an American
My people from the Smoky Mountains. So happy.
If you find these accents difficult, don't visit Newfoundland.
It's such a fun video to watch. People from other areas of the United States know that I'm from the northern midwest. One of my favorite things to do is listen to people talk. If I could get people to enjoy my voice, then my voice acting career would take off.
CI for animal language is very interesting. I often watch dogs interreacting and have learnt much about their complex interplay
Also the Spanish accent is heavy there too Like the accent of Mexican Americans and Mexican US residents heavily present in the border communities
I don’t think they have that much of an accent!
“Getch-eer rahht NAOW!” - my east Texan grandma when we were in trouble
On a side note. We don't speak english. We ain't from england. We speak American english. It's ours. And y'all sure as hell can't take it. And no. Y'all won't be capital letter spelling. That's reserved for importance
Dang. As a Southern resident of the USA, I appreciate your appreciation. Thanks for not trying to badmouth us. We our own people round here. These are great folks.
Gracias por usar mi video para explicar mejor! ❤️ Saludooos!
Fifth generation native Texan here. Only city I could guess was my hometown (because I know the Broken Spoke), but the accent that sounded the most natural to me was West Texas. Makes sense, that’s where my Texan family are originally from.
Wait until you hear the Maryland Accent! You won’t know where the heck you are!
"Canilla" in Honduras is just calves, not skinny legs, and we use "Pija" not "Pinga"
Have you done Appalachian accents?
Native Texan here and i understood all the accents. I tend to listen to accents from around the world and the USA because they are interesting to me.😊
Worth noting that what was described as a Lumbee accent is mostly correct. Totally a Lumbee/Lumberton/Columbus County thing to call folks “paw” & “paw-paw”. Although the example of the pronunciation of “side” is much more a Carteret County/Harkers Island thing. Check out Harkers Island Brogue, that’s a really interesting one, and has a relatively clear connection to Roanoke Colony.
You understand that while America may speak English, its largest specific ethnic group is Germans, who built America.
I'm proud of my Texas accent.
I admit that I learn this language very sporadically. I’m by no means fluent due to this. But anytime I try to learn any other language instead, it suddenly becomes easier to learn Russian than something like French. Something I have realized is that Russian and English have a common ground. People typically are able to still understand and are kind regarding pronunciation and grammar. Grammar in Russian seems much more relaxed as far as structure goes so even if you get it wrong a little, the context makes it still understandable for most phrases. At least when spoken. Reading is a completely different beast, but I’d say if you speak English, speaking is more important than reading since a lot of basic words are written similarly to how they sound. So if you visit and you know the word pronounced “metro” and you at least know the alphabet, it’s pretty easy to understand метро. So if it’s to visit or make new friends, what seems more important is being able to communicate and understand important things like transport, transactional words(to shop at stores), and have some basic conversations. Once you have these basics down the rest of the language becomes easier to learn with the exception of becoming fluent in reading and writing. Like I can read Russian at like a 3rd grade level, which lets me recognize in Cyrillic and translate the words to understand it. But I still struggle with some of the larger words and some of the more formal grammar rules. Regardless, some of my friends I’ve talked to in Russia still understand me, although they sometimes poke some fun when my reading speed is either really slow for a phrase or poorly pronounced. But they are usually happy to help me get it right. What I find is that a lot of the people who I talk to are more so happy to see me trying to learn their language and they don’t bash me for my mistakes too hard. They’re super helpful people overall, and it’s really nice to have some native speakers as friends who can help me actually learn when I am actively learning. I will say that since Russian was the first language I tried to learn other than English, any other language I try to speak has a lot of Russian pronunciation for me and I find it harder to learn anything but Russian after a while
I cant understand a word your saying
From Louisiana and got about half of these right. Southern Mississippi is my favorite accent.
Born in San Antonio, lived there most of my early years; then Houston, Austin, Arlington. Then….. Canada….and for the past 25 years NEW YORK. (Have to be a true Texan to appreciate THAT dynamic.)😂 Love that Texas accent and break in to it under stress. Throw in a “y’all’ when I can.
