Queen Victoria and her people, nice. James Prime here and today I am BACK in England.
Now this time I won't just be staying in London, I plan to go check out some other cities and towns so if
you have any recommendations on where i should visit next, let me know I just might chase it up!
Now a while ago I made a couple videos called "WHAT AMERICANS think about ENGLAND" and throughout
those videos you'll notice a recurring theme that americans really like the english accent.
"i think like, the cute like, accents haha, cute british accents"
"so i like their accent." "i love the accents there too." i like their accent" "their accents are kind of funny it's kind of cool"
"their accents are pretty cool" "i love their accent" " I like how they talk."
So today I thought it'd be fun to see if the opposite is true. I want to see if the american accent or accents are just
as good to them as the english accent is good to us I don't know, let's go find out.

so when you think of american accent what type of accent are you like thinking of on the internet
there's that like typical like american girl voice that's like oh my god i can't really
name the different regional differences like the only one that stands out to me is like the
new york accent i'm kind of scared of anyone with that accent i did actually have a teacher with a
new york accent and she like scared me about me so um for me it's always like the kind of the nasally
california like oh my god awesome that's that's the classic for me probably like california and
like los angeles and all that yeah okay yeah i think it's quite loud can be loud um i mean they
pronounce the words really well you understand them really easily but it can be a bit annoying
see mine's like the i had to go deep like is it texas when they're like really deep southern
southern yeah yeah okay texas in the south didn't do that um or they all kind of there's just like
one american accent like he like you said you go down the road there's another accent whereas in
america i feel like everyone just speaks the same um i would say either like like the high-pitched
midwestern accent especially female accent or i would say um like your upper upper south like
tennessee like like a draw something like that uh probably the new york accent yeah i like the
way they say coffee it's gonna sound really weird but something not too dissimilar from from your
accent like kind of midwest yeah yeah exactly midwest like yeah like def i don't definitely i
definitely don't think default of new york or like deep south or anything like that so yeah midwest
i'd say yeah what are your general thoughts on the american accent i don't know i think
it depends on the person that it's coming from but yeah i like it i think because it's the same
language but you use different words and kind of say things slightly differently i think it's just
interesting so i quite like having a conversation with a with an american person i think because
we grew up with a lot of american tv so i'm just quite neutral to it it's just an accent
the american accent is like the english accent of the internet and everyone digests content on
the internet now so now it means like if you have an english accent you're this kind of
exotic token who just sounds a bit like hugh grant sounds a bit kind of weedy and pathetic whereas
the american accent is kind of feels a bit more like luxuriant in comparison right there's a very
annoying accent but i don't know where it's from and it's like the hi it's curly like i don't know
so so i relocated to america when i was 16. at the time i had them in english a real english accent
and found it incredibly hard to be understood i would ask for um like a glass of water in a
restaurant and people actually wouldn't get it at all so so i deliberately started putting on
a more american accent like can i get a water oh i love it um especially like boston accents
yeah i'm the new england patriots fan so like people like uh you know ben affleck like damon
like when they come onto real boss nice and i think it's great and and and also the deep south
yeah i i think it's fantastic um i mean i think the american accent is pretty like understandable
but personally like i prefer the english accent a lot more it's nice like i think it's fine but
i just prefer like an english accent if i had to decide oh one thing i would like to say is
yeah i can't tell the difference a tool between an american accent and a canadian accent
so you know i know that's going to get what are you talking about that's the only one
what i think of as like standard american accent let me discuss like yours like midwest i really
like i think of other ones like the new york accent again like the deep south accent is like
quite stereotypic stereotypically funny accents like you know in comedies you like you would have
like the the deep south like drawl and it's like coming out with funny lines things so i think yeah
i think that is quite like a comic sort of slant on things it can get annoying some quite sometimes
but it like can get quite whiny and but i also prefer the british accent specifically on men
i feel some triggered americans are going to be like oh my gosh to the people out there that
are watching could you give them your best american accent on wednesdays we wear pink
pink on from mean girls i like my water bottle um hi my name's izzy and this is my american accent
don't put that one on there my name's izzy and i'm from america laugh is like a
box of chocolates i'm gonna park the car in harvard yard i'd like to drink a nice cold
glass of water water is wet because it's traded let's see i can't do it yeah water
water that's how everyone thinks british people say water
interesting perspectives from the english people i appreciate you guys going out of your way
to do this video now if you're american and you're watching this video and you feel
triggered don't worry there's a support group i've made on discord that you guys can join and discuss
your feelings it's called the triggered one support group so go ahead and join that if you
feel triggered i'll probably make this video again in a different city just to get some
different perspectives and to the americans out there that are watching this video i'm curious to
know your thoughts on the english accent something you like something you don't like let me know
you
