Jennifer Garner Teaches You West Virginia Slang | Vanity Fair

I lived in West Virginia for eight years, my daughter was born in West Virginia and let me just say her accent is spot on! I've heard most of the lingo and trust me when I say it's all accurate. She did a fantastic job and I'm very impressed. I like her so much more now, and I already liked her before watching this, so she's pretty perfect!

Fellow West Virginian here, and she nailed them all. :) Love her.

[roadrunnerrune]

She switches between the two accents WAY too quickly.

*Jennifer Garner speaks with a standard American accent*
Me: "Oh it's Jennifer Garner"

*Speaks with a Southern accent*
Me: "I've never met this woman in my entire life"

Ben Affleck put Alcohol and Gambling as a priority instead of one of the most beautiful woman in the World....

She nailed it. Very impressed. Rand University here

I sooo love that jenifer did this and plus the way she talks is so humble and with respect in speaking. It makes me think of old movie southern hospitality. ❤

[onemooreperson]

Love how she used most of 'em in sentences. Brought my heart joy.

[garyrobertson]

Oh man she is even more beautiful with that WVa accent.

[kiyal.]

Something about a kind heart that makes these women age so beautifully.

I’ve always loved Jen and I’m proud to have her as a fellow West Virginian! 💙💛

[keatonburton]

All of us West Virginians are SHOOK by this video btw

[warriorbard]

The accent is *AMAZING* and I now sincerely wish that she would just talk in that gorgeous accent All. The. Time.

[lisaskiles]

She forgot "yonder". As in unit in unit of measurement. My grandma would say "It is somewhere out yonder".

[zulmar]

West Virginia is one of most beautiful places in USA.

[newyorkny]

I tend not to like "celebrity", but I gotta say I genuinely like JGar. Her inner beauty is just as strong as her outer beauty.

[janthomas]

This lovely woman is our state’s treasure! What a total sweetheart! Hilarious, too! Love ya, Jennifer!

[gbeksel]

She just melts my heart with that smile and everything about her
