I love this from an authentic cockney still living in East London. My Spanish teacher said cockneys pronounce Spanish perfectly due to our accent and the way we speak 👍
@Little T-rex I call it the Mockney accent, a true Cockney doesn’t exaggerate his speech pattern. A true cockney is sound of bow bells & not someone who tries to impersonate these made up London gangsters.
That's true, because your accent uses a lot of nasal sounds which almost all latin languages are made off not just Spanish. So for romance language speakers wouldn't be that hard to learn your accent as well.
@Marco Giardi Ya do'nt undestand the crack of the video, he is a facking cockney, u cant; that do'nt count. If ya not sure what i'm talking about, , look at Robert Carlisle playing a Tyke.
Great lesson! So engaging! It’s so important to be able to understand different accents but not to copy them when learning English (unless the learner is living there and wants to fit in) as if the learner repeats it to someone who isn’t cockney they may get a few funny looks 🙈. If I spoke like this in the north people would ask me why I’m not talking properly 😂
This is a great show to learn these accents. She's so good. I'd love to see her land a cameo on the show. The actors all talk about how the "Brummy" is hard to do even for English folk. She makes it look easy.
As, I guess, the closest thing to an Australian RP speaker, (thank you, mum and dad), I have traveled this wide, brown land extensively and have always found the regional dialects of Australia fascinating. I don't have insights into the minutia of our accent that you clearly have yours, but love listening to foreign accents as well. I'm getting pretty good at nailing down at least the rough area in the UK and the Americas from which the speaker harks. Thank you for your infinitely interesting videos which help me with my amateur studies.
Alfie is one of my favorite characters in the show. Equal parts funny and intimidating. Something about a cockney accent combined with a rumbly voice adds an extra dimension of menace to a hard geez.
@Jerry O'Shea a lot of the older generations in Hammersmith thought there were Cockney even though they didn't know where Bow Bells were. I found it amusing as a Cockney who now lives in Hammersmith when I heard them say they were the last of the true Cockneys. But now it sounds more like Ali G as you say with everybody tying to sound "gangsta." The cockney accent seems to be moving east into Essex and even that is a watered-down version of it and changed into its own accent. As far as I can tell it seems to only exist in the older generation from the east end and a few actors that have kept their accent. And only 1 or 2 still use rhyming slang. Even if Danny Dyer makes it up as he goes along.
@Ryan Hurley Tis true..but I was still a little surprised! ,But I suppose London has(and is constantly changing) all of the time and ur more likely to hear a Cockney accent in Essex or Kent!
@Ryan Hurley unless it's changed, Hammersmith,Shep's Bush were once a popular area for the people from the Caribbean Islands and Ireland!..But as for Cockneys,they were from the East End of London..But now I think it's been replaced with that very fashionable sounding 'Ali G' innit accent!
@渡辺大介 Tom is from the most Cockney sounding Borough in London. It's in West London It's called Amasmifff also known to those non Londoners as Hammersmith.
You are so great Laura! It's my treat every day to watch your videos and I have a lot of catch up to do since I discovered your channel onlt a few weeks again only.
ELIZA DOOLITTLE. My Fair Lady. You mention cockney and childhood memories of her adorable accent ringing in my head. Maybe she's why I'm so into learning to distinguish between diff English accents, all these years later. Heh heh
Thank you for this film. Educational experience for me. I find that the best way to learn English accents is simply listening to people speaking those accents. Alongside the unique accents you can learn so many other things. A singular accent reflects a unique diversity of arrays of factors, constituents of intrinsic characteristics attributes to the group of people that speak that accent. An accent is like a language within a language, a melody within a melody.
Very cool. I love Tom Hardy. My wife is from Cambridgeshire, so she has a soft Southern accent. She has lost some of it due to living in the Southern United States for the last eighteen years. My friend Steven is a Jordy. I also know people from Essex and Wales. My family is from Scotland and I still have family in Dundee. They tell me I am Scottish, but some Scottish people say I am not. I guess I will just say I am a Gael. I do speak a fair amount of Scots Gaelic.
New subbie here. Love your channel. I am from the southeastern U.S. and the more I listen to UK and Irish accents the more similarities I hear in both accent and phrases (reckon is a big one). My wife and I are big fans of the British gangster genre; particularly Guy Ritchie films. We particularly love this scene as an example of Cockney: kzclip.net/video/9AKGT8OZxk4/бейне.html (Do you want a slap as well). There's also the Cockney Parents Evening: kzclip.net/video/nUN0RLF-WuU/бейне.html (I'm proper naughty)
I'm American and recently discovered your outstanding videos. The Welsh police drama "Bang" and "Derry Girls" are two of my favorites. Could you help us understand more about the Welsh and Derry accents ?
Welsh isn't just one single accent. North Walian accent is slightly more staccato, bright and guttural than the softer South Walian accent. Also, South Walian Welsh (the language) is related to, but sometimes has significant differences to North Walian Welsh!
If you want a good modern example of an authentic Cockney accent, watch pretty much anything with Danny Dyer in..then you'll hear the real pronunciation and speed etc of the accent😎👍
I don't know what Hollywood is waiting for. This is a masterpiece. You may want to know that the "peopow" thing also is typical in Portuguese and Polish languages. Or you may not.
I've got the English C1 certificate (I'm Spanish) I lived in Benidorm (I'm sure you've heard about it) for more than 10 years. I had many British friends and I heard many different accents. When you say in the video that your accent is from Birmingham, I've just remembered that many British used to think that I was from Birmingham, when they listened to me. They thought I was British!!! From Birmingham!!!
The Cockney accent is one of the most famous ones in America and the rest of the world remembers the famously bad one done on Mary Poppins. We had a good example in the character of Private Newkirk from the 60's sitcom 'Hogan's Heroes'. You may want to look that up. From what I've heard it isn't one that got played on British TV much but I've been told its been compared to McHale's Navy or Dad's Army. (which *_I_* haven't seen...maybe I'll look them up)
When you talk like Alfie you gotta use the "f" word a LOT more. I'm actually surprised you found sentences Alfie says without using the f word. Great content!
So I'd been taught English since I was 6, have spoken it for nearly 30 years now and NEVER has anyone told me there are two types of L in that language. :D
8:00 if you happen to care the correct pronunciation of Diphthongs is with a F since it resemble more the original. Just remember Photograph it starts and ends with an F. This was a lovely video btw thank you so much🙏🏼
You are amazing 👏 ❤ I love languages and accent 😍, I do understand how much efforts you have done in this video, I've watched many of your videos, awesome 👌 😀 😊 well done sweetheart.
Hi, Another fun video. I have this crazy idea. I want to do the Mary Poppin's song "Feed her Birds" as if Dick Van Dyke's character sang it. Julie Andrews' version is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard musically but I can't sing as well as she does. I could probably pull off Dick's voice level but I need to properly do the Cockney. Wish me luck in my karaoke version of that classic song.
Cockney ere, after 10 years of living in Czech Republic, I have been told that my accent has finally gone, it only gets unleashed during meet ups with my siblings. This was a nice watch to remember my roots, great video.
As a dutchie, I like this channel and these kinds of lessons, makes me want to go out and buy a suit and some english shoes and go fer a stroll with my umbrella.
I'm looking for Tom Hardy's comment in the comments section congratulating her for the remarkable impression she made of his own character.. 👀 She did it so well .. Thank you for the lesson 💐
Looks to me that there is a heavy foreign language influence in the cockney accent as London was home for many nationalities. I distinguish heavy Dutch (Frisian especially), Polish, German and Danish. Very entertaining however if you're invited by the monarchy for a 5 o'clock tea better polish your accent 😁😁😁
I Really Appreciate this Video cuz for too much time i wanted to learn it, and Actually i can´t even Understaind for example to Liam Gallagher but i think this Info. can helps me :3. Thanks a lot.
What about the "ou" and the "au" that almost sounds like "oo", eg : "because" ---> "becoose" The same for "talk" which sound like "toolk" ? Sorry, I'm french 😅
As an American who's been watching British TV and movies my whole life the Cockney accent was always my favorite. I just smile whenever I hear it. Just seems so down to earth, friendly and fun and I can relate to that. RP kind of intimidates me.😄
Alfie has that perfect Jewish cockney accent too, honestly what brilliant acting from Tom
I absolutely love these kinds of lessons. Please do more and more lessons like this.🧡
Yes, I agree!
Okay!😉🤣
Thank you very much
It was really a useful lesson..
Keep going best wishes👍💐😄
Hat becomes A
I do believe you’re right
Love your energy, great video 😂
I love this from an authentic cockney still living in East London.

@Little T-rex I call it the Mockney accent, a true Cockney doesn’t exaggerate his speech pattern. A true cockney is sound of bow bells & not someone who tries to impersonate these made up London gangsters.
@Donald Duck according to 23&me a lot of London moved to Alabama 🤔
Unfortunately, true Londoners are being replaced.
Que?🤪
That's true, because your accent uses a lot of nasal sounds which almost all latin languages are made off not just Spanish. So for romance language speakers wouldn't be that hard to learn your accent as well.
Alfie's accent is the final boss in English
@Marco Giardi Ya do'nt undestand the crack of the video, he is a facking cockney, u cant; that do'nt count. If ya not sure what i'm talking about, , look at Robert Carlisle playing a Tyke.
Bo'oh of wo'oh
*Paddy im from shcoushe pimblett has entered the chat*
I would say Ray Winstone
5:30 this has to be the most epic explanation/demonstration for language learners ever. 👍😂
Lmao

Always love the way you present the material for learning British accents!! Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩❤️ I need more like this video. 😁
I am from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🇸🇦, So I'm a Native Arabic
Did you know how many times I bit my tongue trying to imitate you? 😂😂
That's cos ya troyed too ard.
Lol

Tom hardy learned English from her 🤣🤣🤣

@Jerry O'Shea That is why I said Cockney sounding and not a cockney Borough. As in the pronunciation of the name and not the accent.
@Ryan Hurley unless it's changed, Hammersmith,Shep's Bush were once a popular area for the people from the Caribbean Islands and Ireland!..But as for Cockneys,they were from the East End of London..But now I think it's been replaced with that very fashionable sounding 'Ali G' innit accent!

Adore your lessons!! So understandable, so wish you were my teacher
You are so great Laura! It's my treat every day to watch your videos and I have a lot of catch up to do since I discovered your channel onlt a few weeks again only.
I realize I've been dropping the wrong letters🤭. Sometimes it's hard to understand, but it's a matter of time! Great video👏!
A very in depth, extensive demonstration of these regional accents. A damn fine job, young lady. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.
ELIZA DOOLITTLE. My Fair Lady.

The Alfie impersonation at the end was brilliant, exellent video, as always.
The most incredible English teacher ever!!!!
That’s highly correct

Derry Girls is is good.
Alfie is one of my all time favorite characters.

Yeah watch the business or football factory 😂
I don't know what Hollywood is waiting for. This is a masterpiece. You may want to know that the "peopow" thing also is typical in Portuguese and Polish languages. Or you may not.
Well, I've heard much worse 'Brummie' accents than yours. 8/10-well done.
I've got the English C1 certificate (I'm Spanish) I lived in Benidorm (I'm sure you've heard about it) for more than 10 years. I had many British friends and I heard many different accents.

If english lesson is a video game and you could choose the final boss... then you only have two choices, Thomas Shelby or Alfie Solomons 🤣🤣🤣
You are really brilliant Laura ! Please keep blessing us with videos like this one . Have a nice day Brumi haha
Alfie? some examples please! She's really amazing.
The best Coceny accent lesson ever!
When you talk like Alfie you gotta use the "f" word a LOT more. I'm actually surprised you found sentences Alfie says without using the f word. Great content!
So I'd been taught English since I was 6, have spoken it for nearly 30 years now and NEVER has anyone told me there are two types of L in that language. :D
My English has gotten so much better after watching Laura's videos 😃👌
'Got' or 'become' ...'Gotten' is US English
8:00 if you happen to care the correct pronunciation of Diphthongs is with a F since it resemble more the original. Just remember Photograph it starts and ends with an F.
This was a lovely video btw thank you so much🙏🏼

I'm looking for Tom Hardy's comment in the comments section congratulating her for the remarkable impression she made of his own character.. 👀 She did it so well ..
Thank you for the lesson 💐
Looks to me that there is a heavy foreign language influence in the cockney accent as London was home for many nationalities. I distinguish heavy Dutch (Frisian especially), Polish, German and Danish. Very entertaining however if you're invited by the monarchy for a 5 o'clock tea better polish your accent 😁😁😁

I can watch her all day, she's amazing 😍💯
this video has been very helpful!
Damn. I've been speaking like this but I never knew it was cockney. I thought it was just a London thingy.
Another peaky blinders video 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Love your videos
I think I like this. Anyone who uses Alfie Solomons to teach English is doing something right.
That was fkn hilarious. Very good
It is because of you, I feel so liberated and civilized.
i absolutely love tom hardy job with that character. what an amazing actor with Cillian murphy
Great! Thanks!
Yeah!! You did a good job indeed!! But to speak a proper cockney properly is really dificult
i love this lessons so much it actually hurts
Beautiful 🤩, make a video about Oswald Mosley's accent
My dad was a cockney, I'm Aussie but I notice a bit of a mix of both languages in our family!
I learned a lot, laughed, and was entertained.
Perfect!☺️
What a beautiful person and gorgeous acting transformations, my pleasure. I am loving Peaky Blinders and your training videos and your accent)))))))
I've been looking for a brummie teacher here for a long time, never thought that I'd find her on a video about cockney accent lol

If you can understand the movie with Brad Pitt and the pykes, Snatch, then you can say you truly speak english.
I Really Appreciate this Video cuz for too much time i wanted to learn it, and Actually i can´t even Understaind for example to Liam Gallagher but i think this Info. can helps me :3. Thanks a lot.
Blimey. This is a video i never expected me to get me this invested in learning the cockney accent
why views are so little，your videos deserve more views👍👍
its like learning to speak cool and drunk at the same time hahahahah
I mean imagine pronouncing god without the G, that would be very od 😉
The strange thing is, that I hear the missing vocals and consonants... And I am not a native speaker
What about the "ou" and the "au" that almost sounds like "oo", eg : "because" ---> "becoose"
The same for "talk" which sound like "toolk" ?
Sorry, I'm french 😅
As an American who's been watching British TV and movies my whole life the Cockney accent was always my favorite. I just smile whenever I hear it. Just seems so down to earth, friendly and fun and I can relate to that. RP kind of intimidates me.😄
@Kirk Brown Take it up with Noah Webster. 😛
Favourite* 😉
Wooow. That was foookin brilliant 😅
