My coffee turned into tea while watching this

This is what I do in my head when talking to a Londoner: 1. Translate into English. 2. Translate into my own language.

Gosh, I can watch this forever 😂

I'm born in central Canada but grew up watching a lot of British comedies so most UK accents, especially this one, come easily to me, and I can understand really thick Irish and Scottish accents for the most part also, even when they talk at regular speed :-) Thanks Faulty Towers, Monty Python, Black Adder, Young Ones and on and on

I love cockney accents because everyone sounds so frustrated all the time lol

one thing that i've learnt about the UK is that accents change every 20 min if you move from south to north

I love this accent. Hahaha. I'm Spanish, so imagine how difficult it could be for me... I've got the C1 English certificate. I understand quite a lot. I think it's funny because they speak like if they eat half of the words... 😂❤ And they sound like tough guys...hahaha Thanks for the video! It's great!

As a french, i found it very interesting. Thats exactly that kind of accent i try to catch watching UK series or films. That reminds me when i used to work with lots of english mates ages ago. Cheers ma'e.

For some reason, I felt physically more powerful by the end of this video.

Gotta love how his facial expression changes when he's going cockney.

I live in Florida, USA and have a co-worker with a cockney accent. She told me that a lot of people here somehow mistake it for an Australian accent. I have to admit hearing a cockney accent in person is an odd experience for me. It's a pretty 'extreme' accent to my American ears and you only hear it in television and movies over here, making it seem almost fictional.

Woooow! You're so brilliant! I practically got everything right thanks to your very clear lesson! I am French but I learned English as a child and I always loved the cockney accent but to pass my teaching exams I had to get rid of the cockey and adopt what university calls the BBC accent! Thanks to your wicked video i can practice cockney and sound like a real Londoner, cheers mate!

and how do they say "i hate you" in cockney? "I ate you"

How do you laugh? a a a a a?

This just went to another level when I mixed this with my Indian Accent

so helpful! Learning this accent for auditions, so thank you!

challenge: Try to speak cockney without making that face ahahaha

Every single person who speaks cockney do this face it's a common tradition

This vid is helping me IMMENSELY with an audition I'm doing. Thanks a bunch!

well as a french canadian i really love this accent! it gets rids of all the difficult sound we suck at and hate, especially the 'th'. this is really the accent we should learn in school here instead of the canadian/american 😂 it makes it so much easier and it fits with the kinda lowerclass reputation our french already has anways. Quebecois and Cockney are like bruvah 🤣 i'll practice more it and make this my official new english accent from now on. cockney forever!

I love how he makes a "bad guy" face every time he speaks Cockney.

"get rid of da H sound" Me: Ah like Spanish

These are fun to watch and help me with practicing accents.

"I ain't got none mate!" Just brilliant, fantastic characterisation and so helpful.

Me: Can I get Jason Statham? Mom: we have Jason Statham at home The Jason Statham at home:

I swear to God, this is the funniest and more educating video I've ever seen, mate.

Thanks a lot about your great lesson my amazing teacher keep up the good work!!! I do appreciate it a lot

Hello Aly!!! How are you doing? I know the differences about American and British pronunciation but I didn't know some of London accents you mentioned!!! I loved your interpretation or your performance!!! You're awesome!!! I'm going to share the video in a group on Facebook that I think you know it. Greetings from Argentina. 👏👏👏👏👏😀🤗🇦🇷

so to have that accent you have to speak with anger!

I started to read every comment in cockney accent

Absolutely nailed it mate! Felt like watching Lord Sugar on the apprentice

Love this guy! Your teaching way's only!

I've heard the 'theory' that the Australian accent is just Cockneys speaking while squinting in bright sunlight. It's certainly plausible, and not just linguistically. XD

Basically: get rid of all those pesky letters. "Bottle of water"? Na. "Bowwoa"

i love this accent in british movies( Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, football factory, Grimsby etc)

I'm a Vietnamese who tried to learn English through American teacher, and now the Cockney. My future interviewer would be surprised

...Actually we couldn't afford Jason Statham, so we got a cheap replacement. 😂😂😂

This is hilariously brill. As a Northern Irishman, I lived in London for 27 years and from day one I imitated the cockney accent for a laff, to be heard, to join in and in the end no one would believe me when I spoke in my usual northern Irish brogue. I fooled the fecking lot of them, makes me chortle even now 7 years after leaving.

👍👏 fantastic and amazing. Thank you for this lesson.

This is a great example of the accent. I’m a cockney and have always lived in E London. Although people generally do not sound like that anymore unless they put it on and often make it a big part of their personality. My grandparents talk like that naturally and so do a lot of older cockneys. Younger people not so much. 😢

That accent sounds quite agressive man

This accent makes me feel powerful every time I hear it.

Man, you're an artist! Great video! Cheers from Brazil.

Good breakdowns. It would be helpful if the "answers" to the test had the written breakdowns you used when explaining things. They go by pretty quick and aren't repeated (without us pressing rewind), and that written breakdown would connect it back in a very powerful way.

It's not "Can I haver a lighter?" It's "GIZ A LIGHT MATE, CHEERS PAL AV A GUD UN!!!"

Me: Can I have a "Bo'le of wa'er" 2:27 Server: wtf...

Perfect blend of humor and technicality.

Thank you, This is the best illustration of the cockney accent !

Him: "Ill" Me, trying to repeat: "Eww" I think I did wrong.

I am a teacher of English. Today I told my students - Did Ya 'ear the bew? - They fought I ad drunk somefing

5:45 Lol

I'm an English schoolteacher, doing a presentation about Cockney accent, and I'm totally enjoying this video, brilliant acting! Greetings from Moscow, Russia :)))

He forgot to say that before you even start talking cockney you need to have the aggressive mindset of ‘Wot you looking at?’ ‘d’ya want some.’ ‘Come on then if ya fink you’re ‘ard enuff’ . Notice how his eyes bulge when he speaks and the furtive looks left and right as if by habit to see who is around.

I’m cockney mate and I say all of these things it’s so accurate

A lot of similarities with the Australian accent, and we also share some of the slang too, like up the duff and missus. I guess it's because a lot of the first settlers - convicts - came from London. There used to be a lot of rhyming slang here too but these days many younger people won't understand an older person who uses rhyming slang. There is a much bigger American influence in the speech of younger people - eg. a lot of people under 25 will pronounce "r's" instead of the "schwa" sound. Saying "Better" as "beddr" instead of "bedda". On another note, my friend from China who came to Australia to study for a couple of years didn't know that the "l" in a word like "owl" or "little" was "supposed" to be pronounced at all - she thought it was just "ow" or "littuw" because that's how it's said by a lot of people. Incidentally I actually prounounce the "l" in words like that. My friend found it hard to understand lectures because she said a lot of people "merge the words together" (and in China people are generally taught from either an American or a British RP accent - in the same way that students of Chinese are taught from a standard Beijing accent but Mandarin accents and dialects vary quite significantly throughout the country - not including other Chinese "dialects" such as Cantonese or Wu, which I would actually classify as different languages to Mandarin even though people who speak those "dialects" write using the same Standard Chinese language) but she said she found it easier to understand me because I say "t's" and "s's" at the end of words but a lot of people apparently don't.

Pretty good lesson to be fair, I work away In London 5/6 months out of the year so I’ve picked up the accent, mainly central London so it’s a bit hoity toity. I miss my Yorkshire accent but moving to north west England at a young age changed it. Geordie accent is pretty difficult but similar to certain pronunciations that southerners use. There’s at least 40 completely different accents in the uk, 10 miles down the road some could be speaking completely different, especially Birkenhead and Liverpool or Glasgow and Edinburgh, close but very different

Why's he look so angry? And why does he sound like my dad? 😂😅

Holy shit. Not only was it informative, but it was goddamn hilarious.

Oh my goodness 😂😂 thanks a lot about teaching us this great and amazing lesson My amazing teacher keep up the good work i have been learning more from you

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels brought me here.. I just love this accent. English can be the most beautiful language with some accents, including the Cockney one ! Greetings from a Anglophile Frenchman. I can now start and practice my Cockney English 😃

Man, i from Russia,but i I really want to learn English, especially Cockney. It sounds very brutal and I really like this. I really like films snatch, lock,stok and two smoking barrels, and others. your channel is very cool. Respect from Russia brover

Bottle of Water Boo o oowa (me)

Loved your video! Any more sentence examples please

U R the best 👍

3:51 really caught me off guard.

Excellent video. Everything this man says is genuine cockney pronunciation. It might take months to pick all this up by living in London. Well done. Top marks.

This is one of the best thing a UKposts algorithm can give you

One of the few vids that gets it right. Takes me back to the Bermondsey of me yoof!

I remember when I used to talk like this! But living in the US for 13 years it has died off and comes out from time to time but usually after alcohol consumption.

"I'm gonna go and see a man about a horse" = "I'm gonna take a shit" For those who didn't get this very last sentence. You're welcome! haha ;)

it's same no different you and jason's speech :) really unbelievable

Cockney accent always fascinated me. That first time I heard it closely it tickles my soul somewhere and it fascinates me no end.

How to get fluent in cockney? 1. To drink a bo’le of vodka 2. To get a potato stuck in the throat 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great video! You’re a leg. 😄👍

Now, it's time to watch Snatch again.

Пожалуй лучшее видео из подобных! Пересматриваю раз в месяц💪🏻

very informative yet very hilarious, loved it😂😂

now teach us how to do the eyebrows lol

Thumbs up for this, great video. It's more than obvious you guys work hard to put these projects across, congrats to the team

A very good introduction to the English language as it should be spoken

i like this... straight to the point tons of examples....

Basically, a British version of the Boston accent.

I'm Chilean. I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. it's the best channel of English language I've seen. I use to correct American channels because theyre too ignorant. From this bald angry man I learnt new things.

Brilliantly done!

The cockney accent is the first English accent I was exposed to and I still love it ❤. I also dated a Nigerian dude in college that had a cockney accent AND used the rhyming slang. I rarely knew what he was saying. He was cute tho 😂😂 This video is hilarious 😂.

Brov , I'm an ELT teacher and I abso'bloody'lutely loved your video and can identify a number of teaching methods embedded in this lesson. I teach cockney every now and then to my advanced students - they love it. They ask coz some of them can notice my cockney accent slipping out sometimes when I am more relaxed in class.

Gee, I had it right as a six-year-old, and they sent me to speech correction! They should have moved me to London!

Bloody brilliant, mate!!!

So far the best lesson on Cockney accent!

You should really start an acting career ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ laughed the whole time. Love you!

You teach us the reverse of what Prof. Higgins taught Eliza Doolittle

Good video! Thanks to the author for his good work! I'd like to recommend Yuri Ivantsiv's practice book Polyglot's Notes: Practical Tips for Learning a Foreign Language. This book has many useful methods for learning a foreign language, how to develop your memory, how to memorize words, learn grammar, quickly learn to speak, read and write. All recommend this excellent book! Good luck to everyone in learning a foreign language!

This is the best cockney vid on here by far. Forget everything else.

This video makes me exhausted.

"We don't use the H's... Get rid of 'em" Pronounces the H in "hell" 30 seconds later.

Very instructive stuff ! Bravo from Alsace, France, where we also have some strong accent !

simply brilliant!

Just for you to know: we were shown this video at the university lecture of sociolinguistics, and I personally, as a ESL teacher, give some of your videos to my students. feel the lvl)

It’s amazing how many of these are the same in Australian, we even have rhyming slang. For many years I thought Australian copied many things from cockney but it’s interesting if you look into the history of the Australian accent, many of the original convicts were poor cockneys. Over time the rhyming slang became unique to Australia, so it wasn’t copied it evolved from cockney. So to ‘take a look’ in original cockney was butchers hook, and down under it changed to captain cook. I think if Jason S or Michael Caine or Danny Dyer etc were to try the Australian accent they would probably nail it, and it’s not easy to do well

Cockney accent (that was spoken by my first ever customer) almost made me quit my first job as a helpdesk agent as a non native English speaker. :D Nowadays I am fine with various accents: Scottish, Irish, even Australians, but still have hard times understanding cockney.

I like how his face turned into a "tough" one when speaking this accent. Made me think it's actually for tough guys like Statham
