I'm 100% sure that I'm doing my own accent wrong.
-
you know someone's a linguist when they have favorite consonant sounds.
-
imagine if he one day reveals his real accent and he's actually like a hardcore scot
-
As a non-native speaker, I can differentiate exactly two American accents: Southern and not-Southern. So this is super interesting!
-
Jennifer Lawrence does what I call "a general nonexistent Eastern European accent"
-
Plot twist: this guy is actually Irish and is faking an American accent perfectly.
-
The way that he deduced that Gustavo Fring fully learned English in Mexico is just wow. Kudos!
-
When he broke down the difference in inflection between Spanish and Italian while critiquing Penelope Cruz’s performance 😩I’m in love
-
I really want this guy to help me master the Dr. Doofenshmirtz accent
-
I cannot imagine having this much knowledge on this many accents.
-
Still laughing at how Michael Caine is pronounced like "my cocaine"
-
Kate Winslet did the best Australian accent I've ever seen. In normal speech she sounds like she's pretending to do an upper-class Melbourne accent. But in some scenes she "let's slip" her lower-class country Victoria accent. She even sounds like people did back in the 60's. 10/10 best Australian accent I've seen by far.
-
Am I the only one that would love to have my own accent examined like this?
-
Everyone: Hong Chau's Vietnamese accent is so racist! Hong Chau: I'm Vietnamese
-
he NEEDS to review just the accents in orphan black. one actress, tatiana maslany does ukrainian, californian, canadian, an english accent of someone raised by someone with a scottish accent, a ukrainian pretending to be canadian, and more. i would love to hear his thoughts on the hybrid accents.
-
It’s good to see Brendan Fraser getting back into the acting game. He’s had a rough time and he deserves happiness
-
I love how kind he is. He picks at the accents but more in a "let's learn" way then a "you suck way" He understands how hard it to do an accent that isn't natural to you. Love the video. Very insightful
-
He did NOT have to flex that hard when pronouncing Xhosa
-
I'd love to see more reviews of Brits doing American accents. I almost forgot Hugh Laurie was British when watching House. Also, you could do a whole episode on good vs bad Irish and Scottish accents.

"did he try", *shrugs*, "i'm not sure"
