haha...perfect, and you sound fine, I'm from georgia, and now i live in michigan, your accent compared the ones im used to...you sound like just another american haha
Languages are actually diverging more so than converging. There are obvious differences in vowels (which is noted here), but you cannot generalize a Canadian accent and an American accent. Within each country there are many regional differences, so it depends which specific areas you want to contrast. Although, there is a phenomenon called "Canadian raising". Some more fun words for you to contrast with an American would be "light" vs. "lied" and "house" vs. "houses".
HAHAHAHA. BrantFORD. SO ACCURATE. I hate it when people say BrantFORD. It also bothers me when people pronounce ToronTo. (as in they pronounce the second T). All canadians know it's pronounced Toronno.
I think Canadian accents depend our background. Some ppl would say I have a Caribbean accent, I come from a Jamaican background btw. Maybe I should do a tag one day!
You aint seen nothin till you go to tignish pei.. :) conversation with them: g'day der baai..comin out for a rip on dat der skidoo round tree ? Hahah not even kidding.. I'm from pei and my cousin from montreal came home in the summer and he kept saying how he wanted a pei "accent" like the rest of us :p but in Ontario and stuff it's less noticeable I guess... "accents" really depend on what part of Canada your in ! Hahaha like around here, things aren't slippery, there slippy ;p just pei? Or a
@therobynproductions Hahaha, looove that someone posted the island accent! I'm from PEI too, represen'! It's roight shlippy out dere wha? I better warsh the dishes.. yeah yeah (inhalation)
@therobynproductions Only an Islander would get some of those haha. It was definitely an exciting time on the Island :)! Crazy weather for sure.. too bad for Jack Frost weekend!
All the accents are different I find. I'm from the island and I think we sound the same. But some of us sound funny here, like the ones up west sound funnier. But when I go to Ontario people notice my maritime accent.
I'm going to say right now that Amarican's spell things different then Canadians like me we spell tier they spell it like this tyer it's really dumb and I all ways finish my sentence with EH!!!!!!!! Lol GO ALBERTA GO WOAH
Haha I say milk weird too!! My friends always make fun of me cause I say it with sorta a Newfie accent so I say it with a 'a' so it sound like malk :P
I think people tend to forget that Canadians from different areas have different accents (just like Americans). I'm from N.B and when I went to Sask, people made fun of my accent. Especially when I said words that end in R, like car. I also got mistaken for a Newfie a couple of times. There were quite a few words on the list that I say completely differently than in the vid.
I'm Canadian. I never understood how I have an accent? This American came up to me, and was like "What's with the freaky accent??" And I was sooo confused... I think I sound normal. And you say comfortable right, it's alright. :P
okay I'm from capwbreton Haha I'm gonna do a response. a lot of the words i think I say differently andd ill add a couple that people I say differently lol
only one i ve heard different is crayon..my girlfriend is from New Brunswick and she pronounces it crown which makes no sense to me but i roll with it lol
K so I'm from Oakville Ontario :) and I loved it there but wayyyyyyyyy too hot but I live in Calgary Alberta now I love it here too but I say alot of these things how Americans say it I hate it when Americans are like "say out and about" *face to palm moment* lol I love Canada
@NORMAATUBEE soooo true! I'm from Vancouver and we DO NOT say aboot or any of that. Eastern Canada sounds sooo much more different from the Western side.
@TheFirefly10 Yeah I'm Albertan, and I've yet to hear aboot or that. And when I went to the States a few people didnt believe I was Canadian cause I didn't have the accent. /:
I think you sound great! But I have to point that, all these differences between American English and Canadian English are very American-Canadian thing. For most English speaking people (not from North America) you guys sound very alike. I'm Polish, but I've been living in Sydney, Australia for over 4 years, and all Canadians I've met sound like Americans. And it wasn't just my opinion. Sure, there are slight nuances, but in general your accents and pronunciation are very similar.
Hi missjbm! (So FYI I'm Torontonian) funny that you say people think you have a drawl. Somebody told me that *once* (the drawl thing), but I get "you sound American". All. The. Freaking. Time. Seriously, if I had a nickel for every time... ;) And I'm torontonian born and bred my entire life. So you sound completely "normal" to me, LOL! I don't know your story, but my mom is Texas-born, Chicago raised - and we learn language from our parents as well as our peers... :)
I feel like in certain parts of America people do say ruff or rut. But I grew up in California and we all say roof or root. The one girl I met who lived In Canada and minnesota says ruff and rut, I always thought it was actually a Canadian thing but maybe it's just in certain
we say roof not ruff we're not dogs, people pronounce caribbean either way, same with route and new orleans is pronounced new or-lense but only people outside of new orleans say it either way
@swaggicprincess when i say ontario i mean the metropolitan area like hamilton, otttawa, toronto, etc.... plus they both left at an early age... if you know any1 whos grown up there their whole lives, in the main city area, they will have an accent
Ok I'm from Canada (manitoba) and I say all of these words the same minus the "out and about" and I do say eh a lot. U sound normal to me. Like I u think so to :)
So THATS how the whole out and about thing started! ok..i now hear how that accent sounds you dont sound like your saying it ooot and aboot though! i know newfies when they talk stress it a bit stronger. that makes wayyy more sense now. LOL. thanks for sharing!
I say milk the same way as you! I've been doing some Canadian dialect research recently, and apparently saying it "melk" is pretty specific to parts of Canada!
Roof and hoof do rhyme lol. Roff sounds like the sound a dog makes haha. We aussie's say everything the way you Canadians do haha :). I think our english is better pronunciated.
@ I agree about the eh part. I thin k that people think were like diffreent accent wise. but Iwent to America about a month ago. and and I was like we are out and about in the American City. and people gave me the weirdest looks. and I was also askedd about my Canadian Accent. people were like ! OMG ! say some thing candian. WE dont ride polar bears to school ! or moose. or lve in igloos or drink maple syrup like water. but. I agree with you on many things !
hahaha I just realized for the first time I say Comf-tor-ble instead of Com-for-ta-ble
I live in the GTA (north of Toronto for all you non-Torontonians) and I definitely don't say out/about the same way you do lol. You have the stereotypical Canadian accent when it comes to saying things like "Out","legs" (pronounced LAY-ggs), "Milk" (pronouced melk).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing you also pronounce "Bagel" differently (you would pronounce it BAG-gel)?
A lot of people in Canada and even in Southern/Eastern Ontario where I have found a strong accent which I have, that speak with mostly American pronunciation of words. But nice job on out and about. I think I will do a reply video as I have been watching a lot of these lately.
You sound great lil-mama, keep the Canadian polite accent as is indeen, we's as always and be thee - clinche tong in thaaaa woo! woo! or else otherwise...!
If you think you sound weird, just imagine being Brazilian trying to speak English with an American accent (and not really managing to do so) in Canada.
@Lovelanguages1 I actually say it h-oo-f, not h-uh-f. I think I pronounce things a lot like the British do, but with my own Canadian accent and some Canadianisms such as ash-phalt (apparently Australian as well), not ass-phalt.
You can find all of those pronunciations of words within the US. The thing that stands out to Americans is the long O that Canadians use, like "Aboot" "soorry" "tah-moor-oh"...if you've ever seen Romy and Michelle's High School Renunion, it sounds like Romy has a strong Canadian accent.
I grew up in Canada so that's like my core English foundation but for the past 15 yrs I've been living between new York n Buenos aires and my English is perfect(like my Spanish)and everyone but 1 person has said that my accent is american,now I'm moving to Toronto "ah-gain"after a long time and wonder how I'm going to be tagged ?I definitely don't say "ouet and abouet" (sounds cute)I wonder how Ill sound to Canucks with my Spanish accent speaking with my american accent?Does that make sense?LOL
@missjbm - Where in Canada are you roughly? I'm from Eastern Ont and I still say some things differently than you! Funny some of the comments here about Toronto, I say Toronto with either a sharp second T, or soft... it varies. I say envelope as "an-vel-lope" and New Orleans as "New Or-leens".. mainly because there is a part of the city here that is called Orleans and is pronounced like that. Your video was pretty interesting though, so awesome how accents can be so different! :)
@LiteralGaming I agree. I live in the south (US) and though I don't really have a "southern accent" I do pronounce certain words differently than people from other areas of the states. I was told in one of my theater classes years ago that of all the accents in the states, the southern accent shares the most in common with accents in the UK. Much of the similarity has to do with how we pronounce vowels. It's also probably why I think most Americans pronounce certain words strangely too.
I say Milk like Melk also I have been given a hard time for this before and i didn't think i said it weird but finally i know someone who says it the same.
Pea-cans are a very southern thing... Also, extending "r"s is a very southern thing. In the south (Georgia) a tire would be pronounced "teer".
Also, when I hear the word "car" it definitely lets me know your from Canada. It sounds like "cerrr" because the "a" is extended. Of course the "ah-boot" (about) is the infamous "oh there Canadian" word...lol
Pea-cans are a very southern thing... Also, extending "r"s is a very southern thing. In the south (Georgia) a tire would be pronounced "toor" or "tour"
Also, when I hear the word "car" it definitely lets me know your from Canada. It sounds like "cerrr" because the "a" is extended. Of course the "ah-boot" (about) is the infamous "oh there Canadian" word...lol
Americans have weird accents if you ask me. They say the words sure, cure, lure, and tour like "SHORE, QUORE, LOR, AND TOR!" Odd if you ask me...I mean, America was a british colony at one point, so was canada. But its weird how a language changes over time into different variations.
its funny because this is exactly how people in ohio talk. haha just across the lake(:

A lot of people in Canada and even in Southern/Eastern Ontario where I have found a strong accent which I have, that speak with mostly American pronunciation of words. But nice job on out and about. I think I will do a reply video as I have been watching a lot of these lately.

If you think you sound weird, just imagine being Brazilian trying to speak English with an American accent (and not really managing to do so) in Canada.

@Lovelanguages1 I actually say it h-oo-f, not h-uh-f. I think I pronounce things a lot like the British do, but with my own Canadian accent and some Canadianisms such as ash-phalt (apparently Australian as well), not ass-phalt.

You can find all of those pronunciations of words within the US. The thing that stands out to Americans is the long O that Canadians use, like "Aboot" "soorry" "tah-moor-oh"...if you've ever seen Romy and Michelle's High School Renunion, it sounds like Romy has a strong Canadian accent.

I grew up in Canada so that's like my core English foundation but for the past 15 yrs I've been living between new York n Buenos aires and my English is perfect(like my Spanish)and everyone but 1 person has said that my accent is american,now I'm moving to Toronto "ah-gain"after a long time and wonder how I'm going to be tagged ?I definitely don't say "ouet and abouet" (sounds cute)I wonder how Ill sound to Canucks with my Spanish accent speaking with my american accent?Does that make sense?LOL

@missjbm - Where in Canada are you roughly? I'm from Eastern Ont and I still say some things differently than you! Funny some of the comments here about Toronto, I say Toronto with either a sharp second T, or soft... it varies. I say envelope as "an-vel-lope" and New Orleans as "New Or-leens".. mainly because there is a part of the city here that is called Orleans and is pronounced like that. Your video was pretty interesting though, so awesome how accents can be so different! :)

Canadians say, "Eh".. in the same way a "gangster" says, "you know what I'm sayin' dawg?" or the US with their huh's?
So I'm going to the store, huh?
So I'm going to the store, eh?
So I'm going to the store, you know what I'm sayin'...?

@LiteralGaming I agree. I live in the south (US) and though I don't really have a "southern accent" I do pronounce certain words differently than people from other areas of the states. I was told in one of my theater classes years ago that of all the accents in the states, the southern accent shares the most in common with accents in the UK. Much of the similarity has to do with how we pronounce vowels. It's also probably why I think most Americans pronounce certain words strangely too.

Pea-cans are a very southern thing... Also, extending "r"s is a very southern thing. In the south (Georgia) a tire would be pronounced "teer".
Also, when I hear the word "car" it definitely lets me know your from Canada. It sounds like "cerrr" because the "a" is extended. Of course the "ah-boot" (about) is the infamous "oh there Canadian" word...lol

Americans have weird accents if you ask me. They say the words sure, cure, lure, and tour like "SHORE, QUORE, LOR, AND TOR!" Odd if you ask me...I mean, America was a british colony at one point, so was canada. But its weird how a language changes over time into different variations.
