*"Where would you use the yorkshire accent?"*

*- "In yorkshire." Simple 🤷‍♂️*

[bradleyrodriguez]

Lol, as a Yorkshire lad I’m trying so hard not to laugh at their attempts, even I hadn’t put so much thought into my accent

[thehopeofeden]

"where would you use the Yorkshire accent? Like where-"

"In Yorkshire."

Off to a great start👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

"Where would you use the Yorkshire accent?"
"In Yorkshire."

[beecarr]

as a Yorkshire lass, I'm finding it hilarious to see them use such a posh way of saying the words in a Yorkshire accent- this video is making me self conscious of my accent and I don't like that xD

[hotpinksunshine]

As an actual Yorkshire woman, can deffo say the bloke in the red shirt was the best!!!

[tomcurtis]

[darrenjeremysantos]

Can we have them learning the Scouse accent next? Haha

[PinoyPapoy]

"wAAves" "wahves" "waaavez" wAaAves"

[PouryaBigonah]

Suddenly, 40% of americans are talking british and the president declares a national crisis

[SuperhumanFitness]

From this point forward I will be talking like I am British LOL

[wowlooktheresbeth]

I’d love to see Americans try and master the West Country accent

"I feel like I'm getting more Irish"

*proceeds to sound fake Scottish*

This is such a basic covering of the Yorkshire dialect. I appreciate that they covered our flat vowel sounds, but without covering the glottal stops that replace 'the' and appear in the middle of words like 'future', the thou/thee/thy pronoun issue (pronounced 'tha'/ 'thee'/'thi'), the way we contract contractions (isn't = in't, doesn't = dun't), our odd uses of 'while' and 'since', and other phrases, it just doesn't sound Yorkshire yet. I know they can't cover everything, because there are some things that are particular to certain towns (like Sheffield!!!), but it's not quite there without the.... whole package.

Yay I am from South Yorkshire! We don’t talk properly 😂 I think the man in red got our accent the most

[Mystikull]

They should of had the instructor do it at the end

[muffinman]

0:41 I mean if you think about it, it makes since Americans have trouble breaking accents of foreigners into subgroups, just like how a English person may have trouble distinguishing the different types of Southern accents.

[girv]

I've never heard someone sound so posh while trying to do a Yorkshire accent

[alannahllama]

I feel like the guy in the red tshirt sounded more Yorkshire then the guy doing the teaching

[ebonycouley]

Should do Geordie probs the hardest and the greatest British accent :))
