not all the people from south africa speaks afrikaans.I"ve been staying here in spain for two yrs now studying an some people ask me why my english does"nt sound like an south african english cause they all think when we speak english we sound like....for example afrikaaners "wtf"
Mate ... just where does you type of "accent" come from - obviously not Rondebosch or Waterfall or Kersney - let alone Hilton or Michaelhouse ... You don't sound one iota like Bruce Fordyce or myself for that matter - just a simple Maritzburg College chap - where we had intonation drummed into our heads ...
South African accents vary as it is a huge country, the "fake" one you put on at the end sounds more like a South African I know than your actual accent. This is because he is from a different part of South Africa than you
@evlfsh obviously they don't smile at you because you have this randomly shitty attitude. I myself am South African and I smile quite a lot. And as for getting over ourselves? How about trying that yourself mate :) don't stereotype. That's pretty rude. Sincerely, a South African patriot
what i know from growing up in SA and living in canada for 5 years is that its a bloody hard language to immitate,since its obviouslyso unique.i can ditstinguish out of a crowd of fifty people talking at once.i dont have much of the accent anymore.(born in canada).
but i have been told its a sexy accent.so fuckyeah!
My old ICT teacher was South African. I had her for so many years before I left that I'd say I know the accent, and I was surprised to see how much this bloke sounded like her.
The fun thing is that if you speak afrikaans slowly I - being swedish - can understand most of it. I think it's easier to understand afrikaans than dutch and if I didn't already understand german I think afrikaans would beat that too. A million miles apart but very similar languages. Amazing when you think of it.
You're an Anglophone living in England. The accent is interesting because it's different yet they can still understand what you're saying. That's life as a foreigner. Get over it. It's nothing to get pissed orf about. :P
Ease up, dude. If an American does an Aussie accent for a bunch of Americans and they LIKE the performance, it's a little boorish for an Aussie to barge in and go, "you've done a shitty job, mate. Now *I* will show you a proper Australian accent." That would be unwelcome and a bit pedantic.
Is there any clip of real (Black) South Africans speaking in their accent? All the clips i have seen so far are of white guys. Where are the real South Africans?
haha, youi can hear a bit of the brittish accent has rubbed off on you, but true that broe, the world doesn't understand our accent and we don't have chips on our shoulder, we are all very proud of our country and just grow up having to mature much quicker than in countries like the USA, alot of people think Israelis are also rude, but they aren't just like us, we just have a different way of going about things, even our jokes can be mistranslated to seem very serious.
Ive never seen a South African person smile. Always so angry and aggressive...you guys have some big chips on your shoulders....get over yourselves....
i lived in durban for 4 years i was born there and i cant speak afrikaans but after living in england for 10 years i dunno what the fuck happend to my accent but u r are legend to finally teach those cunts who take the piss out of our accents a little lesson
lol man i was born and raised in johannesburg and as a child i knew a bit of zulu. however i forgot how to speak in that accent after years of not speaking either languages. I learned back english but when i speak i get either a light british accent or a light american one. TRUE STORY.
hahaha shit cunt!!! im ex south african and i can still say australia is the land of milk and honey!! U MAD FAG BOY???? south africa is fucked up dude!! i hate u fucks because you poof are hating on australia all the time!! the funny part is australians dont even know u guys dont like us!!anyway dude i aint got anymore time to waste on spastics like u...... at te end of the day your south african!!! that is all!!
Shit if i was you i wouldn't be talkin cuz u lil ozies r the cunts and when you lived here you probably didnt have one like every1 else so u jst gta mock em like u didnt care!!!!!!* nd cal me rude i rely dont give a fuck. south africa is da best nd no1 can tell me other wise.Once a South African always a South African.
hiii thereee!! thats quite nuuuce dr rudi!! south african are the gayest cunts!! worst accent in the world!!! ps i was born there and lived there up to the age of 11!! AUSTRALIA BUDDY!!! land of milk and honey!!!
@skyejordon ur just jelous that u dont have an afrikaans accent u lil wank cuz its jst so amazin and you cant have one cuz to have a prob accent ur balls will have to drop nd since urs neva will u cnt hv 1 sry mi luv :(
@Aafiaeh BECAUSE whites have settled here since 1652. We are Born in this country for generations, we are the only white tribe in Afrika, we are officialy reconized as Africans by the black tribes. NO more stupid questions please!
I really dislike it when people copy our accent. I speak Afrikaans to my mom and then I hear tourists trying to copy me. WHAT the HELL? I'm not saying its like a bad thing to want to try it out but some of them make me sound like an uneducated piece of white trash. Maybe wait until I'm out of earshot before you try copy me?
oh my wow hey just so you know my bf is from south africa and ummmm im actually offended you know when you learn any new language you HAVE to have the accent down not because you are ''imitating'' anyone but because then your words will actually be understood! i mean im american but i am not even close to trying to imitate any of you. so remember when you wanna talk smack think about why SOME people are trying to have an accent! thank you .. by the way i did love how you used ''peace out ''!!!
my parents are from south africa i was born ther but grew up in england so my accent is a bit messed up. its nice to here a proper south african accent not a stupid sterio type. i also get asked why im not bloack,....WTF anyone else have this probelem??
I live in south africa. Online the ignorant idiots in chats, etc etc find it difficult to grasp the concept of an african being white. As for the accent, mine is like the one that the guy has in the vid. =)
@WhisperedShadow123 i love the accent i would kill to get mine again . my faverout question iv been asked is....so did you live in the forest i said yes it was very difficult to find clothes..iv also been asked so what tribe were you in....im 13 for god sake you should know this by know !!! its funny seeing people faces :)
oh my god! the only frustrating thing is your peoples arrogance...i mean lets face it ive never met a nice south african (hey theres even a song made about that) =D
I thought you start to lose your accent when living in another country, so after 3 years, your accent will have changed a bit right, meaning you cant do a "proper" accent too? :s
Middle of Canada, Northern midwest American are two of the most difficult accents to mimic. The difficulty lies in the LACK of accent. Many screen actors with good mimic ability have come from these areas. Another characteristic of this speech is that it is easily understood by any English speaker, regardless of the country. So I can converse with an Irish farmer and be understood perfectly and not have a bloody clue what he's saying.
I almost fell in love with this guy the first time I saw the video, his passion and all. Extra LOLZ for the fact he sounds both pissed and drunk to my Slavic ears even when he's speaking normally. Cool accent :)
Thanks for posting this, I'm meeting my girlfriend's White South African dad at Christmas and all I had to go on was the "numbnuts" impressions which to be honest I found intimidating and weird. Glad it's really nothing like them.
this is the first time ive come across somebody talking about south african accents so how you can say you "always get these videos of people immitating south african accents" puzzles me lol you must have searched for it to find it so if it pisses you off dont look for it lol simplezzzz iy mate
Cheers for the vid. I love the accent as I don't really hear it very often. I do think that you need to chill out about people mimicking it though. You targeted the UK, USA and Oz for trying to imitate it... well think how many people imitate the different accents in those places? I'm from Newcastle in England which has a very distinct accent in a small part of the North East of England and I think it's hilarious when people try to copy it, especially when it's rubbish!
Your t's are actually falling away already. This must be the 3 years in the UK. ie. "wo" instead of "what" But I completely agree with you. some idiots really get it wrong
If you haven't noticed everyone thinks everyone else's accent is funny or weird. It's not just South Africa, and secondly clearly the minor little differences in the accent are what people are going to exaggerate which clearly has caused some sort issue with you, just relax and if you need to vent hit the gym or something your scronny.
Dude, I've been born and raised in the US, and I'm so jealous, you have such an awesome accent! You won't have to worry about me trying to copy lol, very interesting video though ;)
I'm American, and I wouldn't even attempt the South African accent. My country has enough accents for me to imitate, and each accent is very distinguishable from another.
Dude, you do not have a South African accent. At all. You obviously haven't realized how much your accent has changed as a result of living in the UK, you sound like Pom, Seriously, you've lost the South African accent that you are trying so hard to defend! If I was in the UK and I heard you speak, I would NOT think, oh cool a fellow South African. Never.
Is there a definitive South African accent? I ask this because I am South African and I know that the are different accents within every community. There is a distinctive difference between the English accent of an Afrikaans 1st language speaker and an English first language speaker. The same can be said for Coloureds and with Coloureds there's also regional differences between 1st language speakers. Most attempts at an SA accent are for the Afrikaans/English accent which they always get wrong.

So i'm not allowed to try a South African accent unless i speak afrikaans and get a no fun allowed visa from the government?
Clam down dude. People trying to do south african accents arent taking the piss they are just trying to emulate an accent they like (poorly granted) but you take this way to serious. I try to do a scottish accent and its shit, i'm not insulting any scottish people.
Now, this post isn’t about who does a certain accent best or which ones make you cringe, as I find that subject very… well, subjective. I mean, take one of the most obvious offender of fake British accent, Kevin Costner in Robin Hood. He’s actually listed in the best category by Popeater! And Russell Crowe whom Mike and I regard as having one of the most convincing American accent was actually singled out in 15 most atrocious accent list by Total Film for his work in American Gangster.
The king of bad accent is Sir Sean Connery, who’s voted by fans as having the worst movie accent of all time according to an Empire magazine poll. But hey, it didn’t stop the Academy to award him with Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for The Untouchables, despite his dubious Irish-American accent. Interestingly enough, his own Scottish lilt was at one point voted as UK favorite’s accent, so perhaps filmmakers should’ve just let the man use his own brogue instead?
Accents is no doubt a fascinating topic. There are countless sites out there listing their picks on who have the best or worst movie accents. Whether it’s American actors doing foreign accents or vice versa, everybody seems to have an opinion on the matter. Some names keep coming up as BEST (Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Gary Oldman – who’s known for using different accent in practically any movie he’s been in); and WORST (Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise, Kevin Costner).
@TheRigardt Come on, dude. This isn't die ou land! To each their own, whoever you decide to lof in your spare time is your business! Not mine- Not his! And not the next American you see walking down the street! So kindly, get over yourself. Seker mense is sommer maar net nat agter die oore, I bet your ousie even makes you your coffee!
Is Afrikaans similar to dutch? btw I find the south-african accent the most intruguing of all English speaking accents, maybe because hearing is quite rare for us in the uk. I mean if we don't have any connection with SA, then we're not going to hear it on tv are we, except for some nature documentaries.
pisses! fucking love that in your accent

It's not just South Africa, and secondly clearly the minor little differences in the accent are what people are going to exaggerate which clearly has caused some sort issue with you, just relax and if you need to vent hit the gym or something your scronny.

I'm American, and I wouldn't even attempt the South African accent. My country has enough accents for me to imitate, and each accent is very distinguishable from another.

Dude, you do not have a South African accent. At all. You obviously haven't realized how much your accent has changed as a result of living in the UK, you sound like Pom, Seriously, you've lost the South African accent that you are trying so hard to defend! If I was in the UK and I heard you speak, I would NOT think, oh cool a fellow South African. Never.

Is there a definitive South African accent? I ask this because I am South African and I know that the are different accents within every community. There is a distinctive difference between the English accent of an Afrikaans 1st language speaker and an English first language speaker. The same can be said for Coloureds and with Coloureds there's also regional differences between 1st language speakers. Most attempts at an SA accent are for the Afrikaans/English accent which they always get wrong.

So i'm not allowed to try a South African accent unless i speak afrikaans and get a no fun allowed visa from the government?
Clam down dude. People trying to do south african accents arent taking the piss they are just trying to emulate an accent they like (poorly granted) but you take this way to serious. I try to do a scottish accent and its shit, i'm not insulting any scottish people.

Now, this post isn’t about who does a certain accent best or which ones make you cringe, as I find that subject very… well, subjective. I mean, take one of the most obvious offender of fake British accent, Kevin Costner in Robin Hood. He’s actually listed in the best category by Popeater! And Russell Crowe whom Mike and I regard as having one of the most convincing American accent was actually singled out in 15 most atrocious accent list by Total Film for his work in American Gangster.

The king of bad accent is Sir Sean Connery, who’s voted by fans as having the worst movie accent of all time according to an Empire magazine poll. But hey, it didn’t stop the Academy to award him with Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for The Untouchables, despite his dubious Irish-American accent. Interestingly enough, his own Scottish lilt was at one point voted as UK favorite’s accent, so perhaps filmmakers should’ve just let the man use his own brogue instead?
kingscorp1984 6 months ago
Accents is no doubt a fascinating topic. There are countless sites out there listing their picks on who have the best or worst movie accents. Whether it’s American actors doing foreign accents or vice versa, everybody seems to have an opinion on the matter. Some names keep coming up as BEST (Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Gary Oldman – who’s known for using different accent in practically any movie he’s been in); and WORST (Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise, Kevin Costner).

Is Afrikaans similar to dutch? btw I find the south-african accent the most intruguing of all English speaking accents, maybe because hearing is quite rare for us in the uk. I mean if we don't have any connection with SA, then we're not going to hear it on tv are we, except for some nature documentaries.
