I love how Sophia speaks, either she is very cute or a psycho, I can't decide. 😅

I love how Sophia is speaking in x0.75. It is very relaxing. 🤤🫠

Finally someone from Wales going on the show, good to see it getting more recognition

Sophia's accent is kinda different to most Americans I've heard. Not at all in a bad way- just really nice different, and one I'd personally like to hear so much more of. Gentle, clear, and pretty speech structure. She'll be easily understood everywhere.

The Scottish pronunciation I found most interesting and enjoyable to listen too, maybe because I hear it least often. Sophia’s accent is so adorable, a little more softer and slower spoken to me.

Firstly, being the proud Georgian that I am, it was an honor and a blessing to have the US represented by the lovely gal from Georgia. Considering that we have 50 states from which to pick, it's a miracle a Georgian was there at all. Secondly, the Georgian is one of the calmest people I have ever seen. And, I was pleasantly surprised at how accurately she said things the American way. As for the rest, it was interesting to hear the different accents. I used to live in London. But, I travelled throughout England, with one visit to Edinburgh. At times, the accents of rural northern England were practically unintelligible. But, the most interesting thing to me was witnessing, in rural England, what we in America erroneously think is an original American rural culture of the southeastern US.

That was so good. I think this channel is really putting great thought and process to every video. Thank you for the hard work 👏👏

Sophia has such a wispy demeanor, so soft spoken. 👌🏼👌🏼

Pronunciation of the R sound is called rhotic, and can differ among regions of England. The tendency is that the more west you are, the more rhotic. Certainly West country and Lancashire pronounce the R strongly. In Yorkshire it's absent

After videos with germani languages and romance languages , now a good video of English among different countries , pretty good , Sophia deserves credit , has to replace Christina and Shannon as US member isn't easy

most Lauren world friends videos i watch are 1 year old so its nice to see one from this year

They should add Canada next time because it's very similar to American, but there are some differences. For instance, in America we usually pronounce 'been' as 'ben', but Canadians usually say it like the legume 'bean'.

With Ireland there’s so many different accents like he kinda pronounced the t but where I’m from there isn’t a t at alllike water is literally wah-er

I like the way Sophia talks

Anyone: _pronounces a word_ The rest: *wow*

i can listen sophia's voice all day long.

The first member for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 , good , only the Northern Ireland has left the chat 😂 , England , Scotland and Wales 👏

Finally someone from Wales, been waiting to see a Welsh person in this channel for quite some time because in the past, there's always been people from England and Scotland on here but never from Wales or Northern Ireland (hope to see someone from Northern Ireland in this channel later on) when it comes to the whole UK.

The American lady is cute Perhaps little coffee and red bull to give her more energy 😂

As an English Linguistics major, this was fun and interesting to watch! Since I'm from Asia, my accent is a mix of American and Asian English.

As an American, I never heard the British/UK pronunciation of 'schedule' as "Sheh-jewel" in person, but knew it was coming because of watching Dr. Who.

The word pajama, comes from original persian language where it means: paai (meaning feet or legs) + jaameh (meaning clothe), and the closest pronunciation was the scottish.

I went to the university in Bangor and it was nice to see someone from North Wales!

Sophia's right about most things in all her videos, good job. She could have added that the word vital/vitality is maybe why we pronounce vitamin the way we do in the US, I think Lauren has said once before they pronounce the word in the UK like vy-tuhl, it's just vih-tuh-min that's different for some reason there lol. And I have absolutely heard sheh-dule before used semi-jokingly in the US tbh, it's definitely rare but you'll have heard it at some point for sure. edit: Oh except for some people in the US pronouncing vitamin like they do in Europe, never heard that here tbh.

Re: "adult." In the US, the noun is A-dult (Ex.: At 18, he is legally an A-dult.) and the adjective is a-DULT (Ex.: The a-DULT penguin sat on the egg.) Do all Americans do this correctly? No, but this is the "proper" rule.b😉

It would've been cool to see someone from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada too. Maybe on a future video!

11:01 (American girl) my family is really Irish. Funny how they ignored that and continued the subject 😂

I hope Sophia someday make her own channel she seems so interesting

Raspberry English girl: "You say like the whole word!" The letter P: "Am I a joke to you?"

It is interesting and fun to hear how different a word can be pronounced even if it is in english all the time.

That girl is a STRANGE representative of american accent. She doesn't speak like anyone I know. She also got stuck on slow speed. o_O

I am Welsh and born in Pembrokeshire but have Chinese parents. I am so glad to see a Welsh representative. I have always wondered what my accent really sounds like to other people when they first hear it cause I don’t even know myself.

OMG, AS SOON AS I SAW THE WELSH FLAG, I WAS SOOOOO HAPPY!!!! FINALLY WALES

My favourite girl Sophia is back! She's so cute for some reason and I don't know why

Some of these are so subjective though, you really need at least 10 different people to represent england with all the different accents like north, south, london, west country, scouse, geordie, at least 3 for Wales (where I'm from) because you have north, south and also in cities you get a lot more english influence, and probably a bunch more for scotland and ireland It depends on exactly where you were born, have lived, live currently, parents were from, teachers were from, friends were/are from, youtubers or tv stars or celebrities you follow are from etc Pronunciation can be so incredibly random, sometimes I read a word and decide how to pronounce it without ever hearing it first, and it's completely different from how anyone I know pronounces it while still being valid.

The Irish guy looks so stereotypically Irish lol

I LOVE HOW EVERYONE IS AMUSED AT SOPHIA IN THE COMMENTS WHILE I'M JUST LIKE "SHE SOUNDS SO BORED OUT AND SLEEPY"

The guy from ireland is the most ginger person i ever seen,is like the king of gingers

I really like Sophia!!! Her voice hypnotise me:)

Mind-blowing! 🤪

The Irish guy is so handsome. 😅 Also it took me years to learn to pronounce schedule as Americans because I was told this is the right way but it turns out some people actually pronounce it "shehjool" as I used to say... Wow

I think they did well by saying these are general and that accents within a country differ. I am American and pronounce pajamas as puh jah mas, not the way Lauren thought Americans speak. Also not all Americans pronounce water the same way. For example, parts of the Northeast say woo der. In Southern Louisiana I hear wao duh. We don’t always say t as d. Depends on the word. Also I pronounce the T in words like Toronto, Sacramento, Santa but some Americans don’t. I pronounce envelope as on velope, either as i ther, aunt as awnt.

Good to see a welsh person, but they chose a guy with a very faint welsh accent, wheras the scottish and irish guys are as you'd expect. I'm surprised they didn't get someone either from the south wales valleys, or with a metropolitan welsh accent (like cardiff). It's way more common for welsh people to say things like 'pajamas' with the short hard 'a' rather than the elongated 'aah' that he did. Also when he said he thought he'd be similar to the English because they're both in the respective North, - the only way that realistically be the case if you had a Scouser (Liverpool) and someone from the neighbouring welsh region of Flintshire. Otherwise the accents differ so much. Northern accents in England sound way different to even Liverpool. (source: I grew up in South Wales and spent 10 years in the North West of England XD) That said, at least Wales got included XD

Would be interesting to include Australians, New Zealanders and Hawaiians in this mix

Hey look it's Lauren!

I heard the fancy pronunciation for "schedule" watching Downton Abbey for instance

The British accent just sounds too strong in my ears while the American accent does not. most people across America have no problem understanding each other, but in Britain, and that includes Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, people don't even understand each other.

You can find different accents in each of the UK countries too for example there is around 20+ accents here in wales the accent gets thicker the furthur west of wales you go from the english border, im from swansea and my accent sounds different to those that live in cardiff or wrexham

More English difference videos please!

3:38 he said 'rhotic' not 'rooted' the subtitle got it wrong

im from boston and ive definttly heard shed-ual

you should have added a word like "about" or "cooking" or "snow" , i feel like with that you could really hear each difference better

Then you realize that from John O Groats at the tippy top of Eastern Scotland to Portcurno in the farthest west of Cornwall is 840 miles, but that from Fort Kent at the top of Maine to Miami at the bottom of Florida is over twice that at 1900 miles, then you find out it's 2800 miles from New York to Los Angeles, then you might have some idea why accents and cultures are so different from one place to another in the US.

Sophia is so relaxing 😌

Welcome

I'm English but a Swedish friend of mine told me that on a continuum the US is at one end then Irish, then Scottish (usually), then Australian/New Zealand and finally English at the opposite end of the continuum.

I don't know why they say in Wales or England we say...because North and South are very different regards some pronunciations, like bath, tap, trap and the rhotic 'r' the Irish guy says is similar with the US is also present in South West English accents i.e. the 'pirate' accent.

I'm American but I always pronounce toronto the same way the welsh guy did. Canadians tend to say it like "torono" and the 2nd t is silent lol. But I think some Americans might pronounce it the Canadian way.

When i listen american accent i enjoy a lot because very cute very cool 🎉 i am from Turkey and now i am living in New Zealand. Here kiwi accent also very different 😂

Word suggestions to hear quite a difference: "world" and "film", and any words with a pronounced "th". You did not have these typical examples with Scottish and Irish English.

Is Sophia on Prozac 🤔

omg, the american girl has a sweet voice!

What never fails to surprise/frustrate me is when people talk about the difference in the pronunciations of schedule, American versus English, why no one immediately compares it to the word school? I know the closest pronunciation to the differences between American and British English for school would be the Jewish word for their religious institutes, Shul, which is also a place of learning (granted it’s learning about religious practices). The British would never pronounce school as shool but would (and do) pronounce schedule as shedjewel. As always, it’s a mix of much older pronunciations from hold overs of older English dialects rather than any hard rule which English (whether American or British) has exceedingly few of them. If you’ve never heard the old “I love Lucy” routine where Desi Arnaz is trying to read a children’s book that has several pronunciations of the “ough” sounds in words (bough, tough, thorough, through, dough, etc.), it’s definitely worth watching for the laughs

Sophia would be great at ASMR. Very relaxing.

She’s from the South and they speak really slowly, but she’s lost most of the typical southern drawl. An unusual combination.

I love Lauren.

I'm Latino from México my opinion is the 4 guys from England pronouns similarly the Spanish' vowels and American ' accent is more difficult . good podcast to compared the different English ' accents and speak Spanish it's the same

British English went through a shift after Anerica's Independence, which may explain why most countries that became English after that were mostly non-rhotic compared to the older ones. I guess that Ireland and England's West Country didn't play ball regarding this change.

Yeh, very interesting. I've been both an actor and English teacher for foreign students and this would be really helpful for people still in both professions. All you guys had cool accents. I'm Scottish by birth, though have now got a hybrid accent - it was interesting to hear the Irish guy and how it compared to the rest. That 'r' is interesting, innit? Leaving out the English [as it's not pronounced] and even though the Irish guy [who's HOT by the way!] said he thought it closer to American - the Welsh, Scottish and Irish guys all pronounced the 'r' but all with subtle differences. Thanks for that. Really cool!

Liberian English [ Koloqua] is similar to the American English Accent. When we speak, it sounds like how Americans from the southern of the United States speak.

American girl is stoned af 😂

In Wales we say: dŵr, gogledd, oedolyn, mafonen, pyjamas, fitamin, amserlen and tomato.

I'm Welsh but I've actually never heard a Brit pronounce schedule with an SH sound before. I've always thought that was the American way. Only ever heard and said it like we do with the word school.

Do you go to shool or skool for school?

As a brazilian, i can barely tell the difference on most words, but in my personal opinion, Ireland and Scotland have an english that sounds a little bit different to us.

What about the fault and dee fault [default]? Which is which?

Why there's no Northern Ireland? In addition, Ireland is not a part of UK.

Love these types of videos

I'm french but Lauren is so cute 🥰

For people who may think that the sheh-jool pronunciation of schedule was something odd or different, you may remember how education is pronounced. Even though there's d in education, it's pronounced as if there's j in it: eh-ju-ke-shun. Similarly, d in schedule is pronounced with a j sound in some variants of the British English.

Lauren!

How do you pronounce water in Southern England?

I grew up in a household that was former British colonials, so I heard both schedule as "sked-jool" and "shed-jool". While the Americans and Brits all had similarish ways to say that word for nightwear, they're spelt differently: US "pajamas" vs. UK "pyjamas". And once Jack said "from the east where I'm from"... the penny dropped. Someone from Glasgow or the west would pronounce things differently from him as well. It's why he also had multiple ways to say the same words.

1. You picked representatives with very mild, watered-down accents 2. You picked words that are often used to demonstrate differences between American and English accents, they're not as useful to demonstrate differences between English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish accents. It could have been more interesting

NEVER realized that in American accent the T has a D sound inside words? REALLY?????

It’s cause American English was drastically altered cause of Irish immigrants and ancestry. I consist mostly of Irish, British, and Czech, so the way I pronounce stuff sounds similar but with more of an American accent if that makes sence

Shes a really nice girl but for a northern lass shes really well spoken. She is not particularly broad so if it was a broader Northern accent it would stand out from the crowd more. Such as Geordie Lancashire scouse mancunian or Yorkshire. She doesn't really have an accent if I hadn't been told shes northern I would presume southern. For a Northerner shes pretty well spoken 🤣 im northern so dont be offended all.

I liked Scottish English dialect, sounds nice 🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Chúc các bạn ngày an vui hạnh phúc thank you so much

Nice video

I love the Irish accent the best!

Aluminium .

I had a Welsh grandfather....and Irish grandmother.

Sophia！I love you！❤❤

It would have been interesting to have a Highlander or an Islander doing the Scottish accent, I suspect this Scotsman was a Lowlander as his accent was rather light

Where is Christina though?

I see Eoin from Ireland 🇮🇪 ur looking like Queen Elizabeth I Tudor i dont know why

Sophie is on a STRONG Xanax or something lol

Bellissima ragazza sophia!!

I don’t know that referring to Irishmen as Brits will go over well with most of them unless they are from Northern Ireland. 🤔
