    Very well composed video, excellently informed and entertaining, as a dubliner😊
  • @josephmorris1793
    As a Dubliner I couldn't stop laughing. She's captured and dissected the accent so well that I thought she must be Irish. She's not. What an ear she has.
  • As a German, I find it amazing how the Irish accent (or a variant of it) is explained to me here, it is all very understandable and easy to follow. I kept wondering how many of these subtleties an average Southern British speaker would pick up without such great instruction? In Germany, most people would have a hard time imitating another German accent or dialect in a truly authentic way. Great job!

    That has helped me a lot for my Irish accent training. Thank you
  • Well done. Most other people are rubbish at doing this. Compliments from a Dub!

    So good - so accurate - perfect Dublin Accent
  • @jamesgrace479
    As a Dubliner myself, I have to say you have captured the accent superbly. Although, as you say yourself, there are many Dublin accents. If I met you, I'd guess northside inner suburbs somewhere. Comfortable but not posh. You're very consistent so would fool me completely. One comment on the issue of "th" being changed to "t" or "d". I think there's an "in-between" sound that comes from the Irish language. If you meet a native speaker of Irish, ask them to say "Dúirt mé" which means "I said". The soft D at the start is what many of us use instead of "th".

    As a polyglot I'm really impressed with your easy and fluid transition from RP to Hiberno-English. Terrific. Cheers

    Tysm- i like knowing accents as a weird party trick- just decided to overcome my struggle with the Irish accents :)
  • @ado75
    I'm Dublin born & bred - the "t" and "d" are declining rapidly. In fact, a highly Americanised form is now noticeable in the under 30s, especially in middle-income areas. Your accent is excellent btw

    I loved the video , Irish accent is the best indeed.. Father Ted and Msr Brown are fine examples to how entertaining and beautiful this accent..😄
  • @LyashenkoSergiy
    Great story, Sabrah! This accent is pretty understandable.

    Hi my lovely! :-) my ray of sunshine, my ears' delight, my very Rose of England 🌹😊 What a talent and what a great lesson Sabrah! You described the features so magnificently. It is true that it's a beautiful accent and I believe you when you say that it's considered to be the sexiest of English accents. In any case, as you say it, I'm totally smitten and under the spell, and, as far as I'm concerned,it reaches new heights of sensuality. I don't think I've finished watching the video to taste it even more and soak it all in! When I saw Brendan Gleeson, I told to myself: I know that guy and then he spoke of braveheart and I immedietly pictured Hamish It's funny because I saw the film again very recently (for the tenth time probably ... and I still cried my eyes out at all the scenes with the beautiful Murron in particular ;-) As a matter of fact, in response to your request, and even though I have little doubt so much you are good at accents, do you think you'd be able to tell us about the Scottish accent and its characteristics? ... You’d give me great pleasure! Inutile de te dire à quel point j'ai adoré te retrouver et aimé la leçon ! Sans mentionner que tu es plus belle que jamais ! :-) Merci infiniment Sabrah ! Au grand plaisir de te revoir très vite ! 🙏👏👏👏 Thank you so much! Je T'M, bisous bisous 😘🌹❤❤❤💞 🍀 Freedom, Peace, Justice, TRUTH ❤ ☮ 🕊 🌏 🇦🇺 NOW! ... ASSANGE Julian FREE 🇺🇲 🇬🇧 🌎
  • I need to do a self tape in a Dublin accent, going to try to get it done soon
  • @MrMelmott
    It’s the vowel sounds which make the Irish accent different from any accents in Britain .
