How To Speak Like A Canadian | Canadian Accent

Since we've covered English slang, seems only right to discover some weird Canadian slang, too! As a Canadian living in England, a lot of people expect me to lose my Canadian accent, but I think it takes a very long time for that to happen!

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.

I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a Youtube video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

The sad part is, we don’t even notice when we say “eh” lol

[kaylaturnbull]

You forgot "I'm just gonna past ya!" AKA every Canadian in every grocery store EVER.

Canadians say “sorry” so much that a law was passed in 2009 declaring that an apology can’t be used as evidence of admission to guilt.

[FR-euch]

I feel like "aye" is quite like "eh" here in Scotland.

[emilywhalley]

Can't for get about "Ya, no", "No, ya" and "Definitely no ya for sure"

[OutlawSquirtle]

One of my favourites, "Oh yeah no, for sure bud".

I love watching a Canadian explain Canadian culture as a Canadian

[ayda]

I'm Canadian! It is so weird to see All the slang I use every day and don't even realize it. It was also hilarious to see someone explain tim hortons.

When Canadians swear: Im not your friend,  buddy
-I'm not your buddy,  pal
-I'm not your pal, guy
-I'm not your guy, friend
-I'm not your friend, pal
-I'm not your pal, buddy

[winnywin]

If only Shakespeare was Canadian. To be, or not to be eh?

[LucyBebee]

Ladie: "canada is a big country"
Me: "oh, for sure"




I'm not even joking

[haniyanazir]

As a Canadian, I thought all these terms were universal lol

[AberAmber]

I’m a Mexican trying to learn Canadian slang from a girl who lives in England 😂 I’m kinda lost here, the amazing power of the internet

[BLINKGreenTeaAddict]

I always here teenagers here in Canada say "like." I was, like, and you know, like, yeah exactly, like...she was so into it, like... and so on.

I'm Australian and love how Canadians speak and say "Eh", so glad I learn't about other things you say in Canada. And the "Bunny hug" one is so cute. I love that there are $1 and $2 coins in Canada too, we also have them in Australia. Great video!!

[personwholikesfood]

Any Canadians just trying see what other people think about Canada. Eh?

[elliearnold]

I generally say just Tim’s rather than Timmy’s

[Pupuh]

Whenever I go to England they always like "are you American?" get out of here man, I'm Canadian. It's about time to learn the difference, eh?

[trangam]

I DIDN'T KNOW "YE KNOW?" WAS A CANADIAN THING, I THOUGHT IT WAS A ME THING.
