Turkish girl coughs
Comment section: "She's bloody gorgeous!"

I like how the Yorkshire pudding part was subtitled as delicious food.

I remember reading "The Secret Garden" to my kids. I dreaded reading Martha's character because she's from Yorkshire and it was so hard for me to read out loud trying to do the accent 😄

[camilo.decaro]

Oh, dear! This Turkish girl is absolutely GORGEOUS

[yurimessiah]

Some of ya'll are the most thirstiest kids ever, lmfao.

I'm a Yorkshireman, and I remember whilst teaching in China I asked the school secretary for a 'picture of a Monkey' after repeating 'monkey' several times, she asked "Are you hungry?"
I answered 'no, why?' and she asked why I wanted to eat Moon cake!

When you wanna say "Hold The Door"
You say "Hodor"

This is fascinating. My two neighbours are from northern Yorkshire and Wales, and it's very hard to understand them. English was hard enough for me to learn and listening to them makes it even harder. I really like the accent though.

to be fair this Yasmin chick could say literally anything in any accent and I'd think she was the bees knees...

[masterbulgokov]

Seemed less about the accent and more about local colloquialisms.

I'm Canadian but my dad's Leeds born an raised. Never realized how much of a Yorkshire-man he is! Chuffed and faffing have been commonplace since I was a baby.

I'm from germany and I had an internship in Yorkshire for one month and I have fallen in love with this bloody brilliant accent! The british accent in general😍

[JHatLpool]

The Turkish girl does a great job here.

[meghanmalone]

Louis says chuffed t'bits all the time

[annedwyer]

LOVE these British Accents challenges! I'm a Yank and I used to get such a kick out of the old Yorkshire farmers on the original "All Creatures Great and Small". They were a bit hard to understand sometimes. I especially found amusing the way they frequently dropped the article "the", as in "Aye, go fetch veterinary".

[lucelle]

Beautiful! I love my Yorkshire accent! Everyone be proud of your accent it's unique

[pikkuadi]

When Jasmin speaks in the Yorkshire accent, she sounds exactly like a native english speaker! Sweet

[mrquastenegger]

Yeah, I totally clicked on this Video because I'm so interested in the Yorkshire accent, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the thumbnail...

[odemusvonkilhausen]

I'm from West Virginia, and growing up, my dad and his family all used to say "how do" as a greeting. I've never heard anyone else say it like that, although everyone tends to know what I mean when I say it.

My nan's from Sheffield, im very intrested in the Yorkshire accent, granted she was brought up mostly in New Zealand but we still use alot of Yorkshire slang, and the ruins of my great great grandfathers iorn refinery is still there (in ruins) lol
