You both have what people in the South call a "Mid Western Accent". Im from Florida and I can tell you like most parts of the South only certain area's of Florida have people that sound like they're Southern. Accents vary even County to County. Here in NC the people in my county sound Southern, but when you go further west in NC people sound Cajun.
LOL you dont want to talk like a Southerner Midwest accents are cool. But since you are considered yankees from southerners trust me you dont want to move to the south majority of southerners hate yankees even though I am not one since my parents are from Europe but I dont have southern accent even though I was born in the south. My accent is deep like Shia people would think he is a northerner but hes not hes from west coast and parents Middle E. West is the best place to be or your home town.
only in north florida you will hear a southern accent. daytona is in the north so you will here some southern but not that much. i live in ft lauderdale i cant remember the last time i heard a "southerner" talk
for yall who sayd they dont say yall in florida are all stupid.. my bf is from florida and he says yall.. its just where in florida you are at the time and everyone is different dont try to change how you talk just listen to how others talk and youll pick it up trust me
the best thing i can say about this is just relax your words and also while your in florida you will i garentee you will pick up their accent in a matter of weeks of beeing there just listen closely to how they talk and you too will soon be talking like em.. thats what happened to me when i went down to arkansas for 6 month i came back to california talkin like em lol people didnt believe me when i told em i was born and raised in california when i had that arkansas accent..
we may sounds different but we dont sound like fucking hicks... its not even the accent thats that different either its words we use... like i went to new hampshire and everyone said wicked and sick,, lmao. & they just have different words for different things. like most people where im from call cigarettes "joes" or one cig. a "joe" nobody knew wtf i was talking about when i went up there... best thing for you to do it tell people you moved from the north and get used to it.. nobody cares haha
I do one better. Stay in the North and you won't have to come down here any year. There are too many people down here already. Good job opening yourself to cultural ridicule, though. *thumbs up* Too many Northerners here already who think they are better than us whether they mean to act that way or not. I am a well educated southerner and you bet I'll be defending the niceties of my culture from dumb perversions by charmed or arrogant outsiders.
@scienceofthings hmm discrimination from a southerner.... never thought id see the day. and if you took the time to watch the entire video neither of us called you uneducated. I'm glad you automatically assume we act like every other southerners, we are trying to learn, not ridicule. America is a free country and i will go where ever i damn well please. We welcome southerners up here with open arms and no special or worse treatment. You sound like a horribly angry person. such a shame....
@TheBestFwends ...& if you read my comment, I never said you called me uneducated. Also, nice jab with the southerner-discrimination bit, that isn't condescending at all. You are proving my point in your response if anything. You two are southerners? Confused seems more like it. No learning required: speak how you speak & we'll do the same. I am aware of what America is, thanks. You know the saying "It's nice to visit, but I don't want to live there"? Northerners visit & stay in large amounts.
@TheBestFwends Also, I am friends with many northerners. I discriminate on who I am friends based on content of character. Nothing more factors in on it. I also see more people from out west & up north migrating to the south to find various freedoms. Then I notice that their pursuit of more freedom lessens my freedoms. More people in an area, the less freedom you have. My thoughts, not feelings, on this matter are well thought out and multi-layered. I speak from experience & education.
im from virginia and when i went to florida one time, they said i had a southern accent, and i do hahaha...but from what i know, they dont really have accents. theyre just neutral i guess :) so dont worry about the accent :D you are who you are. i wish yall luck.
@allyroxalot I only know this cause I vay cayed with some people from Wisconsin. But a bubbler apparently is like a drinking fountain...weird...but yeah they talk so weird, if I was just minding my own buissness I would be weirded out by their accents.
Yall have funny yankee accents! You guys I make fun of my brother for that all the time. The one on right sounds slightly new jersey-ian. If you are just going to daytona or on the coast you don't cause everyone is from the north (or mexico/cuba)! Go to central and north florida there's where your southern accents are. I lived in central flordia my whole life, hope yall have fun :)
y'all aint got no accent . come down here to west virginia and hear our accents . gosh people bein fake tryin' to be country gets on my daggon nerves .
@ilovechris11910 That's funny, cuz I come from a family that, fishes, hunts, farms, owns livestock, etc. So just because I am from the south I am not country? Sure makes sense to me.
y'all aint got no accent . come down here to west virginia and hear our accents . gosh people bein fake tryin' to be country gets on my daggon nerves .

k, i ain't tryin to be mean, but yeh ya'lls accents sound fake. i live in alabama, but most people in FL ain't got a real deep southern accent. i mean i'm sure some folks down there got one but not alot. one thing i will tell y'all if u go shopping, a shopping cart is called a BUGGY. lol EVERYONE down here calls it that.
Here are some tips: Just let the modern English accent drop. Instead of saying you all, say y'all. And instead of saying nail, say nay-yell. Just let the accent smoothly flow like a river. It's a beautiful accent.
Well for one stop trying. . . If you live in the south along enough youll start to get a accent a little bit.. . .Because yall sound shitty. .. . . You can't really get help juss be around southern people and you guys will pick it up(:
I'm from Pa and i don't think that people from Florida say ya'll and they don't sound much different from me. You guys (yes i say that too) only sound a little different from me just like a few words you pronounce a little different, But in any case you should be proud of where you came from it, just because you're going to school in florida doesn't mean you need to learn how to talk like they do. But good luck :)
welp shoooooot faarr ladees...yalls ya haves to do is put a big ole lump ah tabacker in dem pretty lil moufs of yalls...tat and speak like a cumplete dumshit.. ha that might help
this is probably late but if you ever go down there again i lived in the country in Jacksonville (near Georgia) and they do say kin there but real redneck people i dont thinkyoure going to not sound like your from the north i lived there since i was 6 till now like 9 years i picked up on it and have a southern accent now.. as well as my mom who had a new york accent dont worry about it tho, i have family up north that sounds like yall and most people will think its amazing to hear yalls accent
damnn lol if you come to south florida youll will hear a lot of accents since theres cubans and a lot of spanish ppl so u dont really have to worry about it. most ppl dnt care bout the accent newys!!
where are yall from? for some strange reason people from Florida dont have the accent that you here in Al,Tn,Georgia,etc. im from north alabama and have a strong southern draw. yeah, wisconsin sounds funny when yall say it.u will probably need to just be in the south and observe. if u have any questions bout the south, just holler at me. BTW- try using "I REKON" or IM FITNA" in a sentence. i rekon im fitna go down yunder and get me a coke. yunder is pronounced "yunner". now lets c it in a video
first of all, yall just dawged the real south by calling Florida part of the south. Florida ain't nothing but retired Yankees and Cubans. so don't waste yalls time trying to talk southern. just keep ur current accent and add just a tiny latin wing to it....... you'll fit right in
..do not try to talk southern girls....be who you are...its kinda cute to a southern guy.........they will know your accent is fake straight off the bat....
Trust me, you dont needa hide it me raised and born in the west, i kinda used ya'll alot in my life u only really notice "Ya'll" in DEEP south now im living in louisiana they use it strongly here, i dont think florida you need to really, a southern accent you shouldnt really care..lol, so its not that big of an issue, yall just needa relaxe..lol it will eventually come to you naturally Iv been living in Louisiana for...A year and a half...so it comes to me pretty naturally lol.
Whenever y'all say "Accent," it sounds like "Exint." Try to avoid saying "You guys" and a bit of twang would help alot too. What sort of accent are y'all goin for? Like what state?
@cody1800212 aw thanks this really helped a lot. the whole moving to fl went down the drain a while ago but hopefully some day i can still move down south!
Well not all of Floridian people sound the same. A lot of the people said I talked funny when I moved there from South Carolina. A lot of people in Florida sound like Northerners to me because a lot of the people that live there retired there and continued raising their families there. Y'all is a HUGE southern saying and they didn't understand me in Tampa. As soon as I get a hold of a video camera I will deff post a video response, you're accents are strange at some parts. You'll get it
haha. yall are so funny, i think we use words like normal but you should say some words yall say normally and people will tell yall how to make it sound more southern.
Y'all have thick northern accents. I say just talk how you talk and let people remind you how cute they think it is. Don't try to be something you're not! :)
@TheBestFwends: I know this ain't my conversation but I didn't know Northerners said "pry" in that sense. I "learnt" something new.
And if I were you, I'd stick with your own accents. Floridians don't sound that Southern anyways. They have a wee bit of a Midwestern sound so you'd probably fit in better there than say, Alabama or Mississippi. Decent attempt, though. I'd say the one on the left did better than the one on the right. I'm an Alabamian, so I know Southern accents pretty well. : )
@keekeekaulitz oh sorry last time i checked there are two people in the video, and pretty sure you don't know if i am either of them. you should pry take some typing lessons as well. mhm
i plan on marrying a girl from the midwest with a sweet midwestern accent =) but if youve moved here already you probaly noticed we dont have that redneck southern accent aha we just change a few words here and there like "to" would be pronounced "tuh" and "for" would be "fer"
If you come down South, you will be better off if you just keep your accent rather than trying to do a southern accent. We are not that snobby or unwelcoming. But one thing you can do is not pronounce Florida like " Flori-da" but rather like "Floorda" :) Nothing wrong with your accents, just try to appreciate the South when you come here and you will be fine.
Wisconsin natives do have accents on their a's and o's, wiscansin, have sounds like heave, Floridans don't really have southern accents, specifically because it attracts people from all over, making somewhat of an amalgam of languages, because of the increased standard of living, for many parts the accent has dissipated. People from the Midwest don't typically have accents as much, as you'll notice many news reporters derive their heritage from the Midwest, successful for their clarity
snowangeInc(sp?) is right. Instead of going it's goin' or taking it's taken. I'm from Alabama and I'm right outside Florida. Some phrases that you might want to know are:Britches(pants) I don't know if that's spelled right. A shopping cart is called a buggy. You don't press something you mash it. The blankets on a bed are called covers. I guess that's the basics =). I know you guys will get it down
You don't really need to speak with a Southern accent to fit in. Thanks to TV, Northern accents don't really sound all that strange to us. But if you still want to try a Southern accent, just make a few subtle changes at a time, so it doesn't sound forced. You've already got the trademarked word "y'all", so that would be step 1. The next big thing would be to drop the g off the -ing words - walkin', drivin', talkin'. We're kind of lazy with word endings.
After you're comfortable with the "ing" words, try pronouncing words with "en" as if they were spelled "in." In other words, pen and pin are homophones here. Same with ten and tin. Hen would sound like hin...pencil - pincil...golden - goldin...energy - inergy. Don't worry about drawling out the vowels yet, just pronounce them like you normally would if the words really were spelled with an i.
rofl u said idk why i sound liek a man when i talk liek this lol yal shouldnt change ur accents no point people love hearing other accents that thier not use to.
you know very few people actually have an accent that thick but even if you were born in the south you might not even have an accent at all i have a VERY TINY accent and im form georgia but it is true we all use southern slang here in the south also when you say your going to do something say fixing ex. "im fixing to go to the store"~♡Denali567
I would never want a northern accent!! I love my southern accent and the south! When my family went up north for 1 week for dads job...everybody was like goodness you do have a southern accent you must be from the south? and course i said yes! :D
hah, you say have, last, &wisconsin very weird(: ... i guess i think that bc im from the south? but i love northern accents(: i really wish i was from the north? ahaah.
thats really funny. i never would have expected someone to want a northern accent. i guess because im used to talking the way i talk and dont see it how others may. lol
Florida does not have a southern accent my friend is from Alabama and when she went to Florida she said they don't have a southern accent. Which they don't she heard fake ones you can pretty much notice the fake ones if you have a southern accent.. And yes we can tell your accents aren't natural.
Why should anyone help you? Your northern yuppies will just joke around with our accent and just spread more ignorance about the south by you pretending and joking around with it.
I'm pretty sure you're being a hypocrite by calling me a yuppie just because you THINK I'm going to make fun of you. If you watch the whole video we go on to say that we want to pick up a southern accent so we fit in better in the south when we move down there, because we like the south, not because we want to make fun of you.I'm a very open minded individual and know that people from the south are no different than those of us in the north or, in that matter, from anywhere else.Have a nice day.
Look, the fact that you're trying is ok I guess but it will be very obvious that you're not from the south and are just pretending to sound southern until you pick up on the lingo and dialect. I can tell you that it will certainly come off as an insult for them to hear you butchering our speech when you should just talk like you would normally talk. If you're planning to stay for a while then you'll pick up on it eventually so there's no reason to practice. We're not zoo animals.
What I'm trying to say is that whenever someone is always thinking about how they speak the always over-exagerate their speach, making them sound retarded. You're not learning a new language, we can understand you and you can understand us. Pick up on the dialect little by little so you don't sound/act (uncontieously) like an ass. You'll come off as arrogant.
y'all have such stereotypical southern accents. Yeah It's what people imagine southerners to sound like, but in reality you sound ridiculous lol. No matter what you do, it isn't gonna make you seem southern. if I heard you come down talkin' like that, I'd prolly think you were mocking me, so cut it out.
But I would suggest you don't refer to anything as a bubbler lol.
Well sometimes if i get carried away i'll say howdee. but my mom doesn't like it. haha well I'm from Tennessee and I really have a southern accent. I was down in Alabama and even the people down there would look at me like i was from out in the sticks which I kinda am. but I say ether you have a accent or not and if it's not your true accent then don't talk like it is. but I've live in the country all my life and I lived in the city for about 2 months and near bout drove me crazy.....
wow yall dont really need to worry about it florida aint that much of a southern state unless ur out in the sticks, if your really concerned about it, just start changing simple saying like "aren't you gonna go with me" to aint ya gonna come? But its really easy to tell if someones from up north, dont say pop say soda, dont say going to sayfixin too, um.... dont say pants say britches, dont say pinch say peench thats just some simple one if you need more just message me, hope yall figure it out
Well, Im from NC & southern accents come naturally. Not having a real southern accent, its hard to have one that doesnt sound fake. Most people in the south dont exagerate vowels, but some words we do. Its subtle instead of just like BAM! Yall need practice, but I hope this helps some.
Yeah, it's hard to explain on writing, but yeah,I'm from the south and they do sound really fake, but it's okay, when american's go to England and try to 'fake' british accents, the British always know who's faking it. It's the same with the different accents around America. Just watch movies with southern accents and practice.
For chrissake, girls, don't change your accent for the benefit of those rednecks down there.Think of what's gonna happen when you go home and say to your mom, "Howdy Ma, ha'rr y'all dewin'?" Stick with what you've got, it's part of what makes you you.
If anything you'll be cool because you guys are from the north and it'll be a conversation starter. Florida does not have that big of a southern accent. I go to Florida State and that's in the Panhandle, that is where you probably find a southern accent in Florida, and the southern accent just naturally sticks to you. Trust me, in no time you'll be drinking sweet tea on your front porch. ;)
You can't change your voice to mimic southerners. If anyone from the south hears you speak with a fake accent they think of it as a mockery. Trust me keep your true accent and have a good time in the south, because its a more pleasant place.
But you would be in Florida and we Georgian neighbors don't think of them as southerners. So do as you please just tell them how much you hate the Gators and the Dawgs will always be better.
I think most people from the South would take it as mockery if you tried to talk like that...it's really bad. Sounds like me trying to talk like a Yankee...just doesn't work. Just be yourself and before you know it you will say "ya'll" or "young 'uns" in a sentence without effort lol.
How can you be confused? During the civil war you had the yanks and the Johnny Reb. The name has stuck with them. Its another name for northerner. You have to understand the hard feelings the south have for the northerners haven't truly evaporated. There is a small grudge that most southerners feel against the north simply because we feel that the south has always been mistreated.
The most helpful advice would simply be: don't make fun of those who have southern accents. Southerners like myself may laugh off a southern joke, but deep down they hate it. It's seen as disrespectful here. I personally cringe when I hear someone imitating a southern accent. And Florida has very few pockets of land where the people have actual southern accents. I use to live in Orlando.
haha, I think the first thing you need to realize is that Florida is not the South. It doesn't have southern accents or anything like that. But those accents you have are very funny. If you want to get a good accent, you should try to mimic country music.
lol, sorry that's vague it's hard to explain. but when you say accent, your "a" sound sounds "northern" from a "southern" standpoint. lol, i know that makes no sense. also, you can say 'chyall, like whatch-yall doin? also, for should sound like fer or fur. that's all i can think of right now. good luck :)
you guys are really cute and i think your wisconsin accents are cute. And im southern.

I'm from St. Petersburg, FL & I've lived here all my life. I don't think I have much of an accent, but when I go to another state, people say I do.
Some things my family says:
-Fixins'- "Git the salad fixins' ready"
-Y'all- "Y'all don* come back." *Don't with out the T
I leave off alot of my T's and and sometime pronounce my O's as AH's
Ex. "I don really wan ta go there."
note: lay off with the 'howdy doo' kind of accent. I've never heard a Floridian with that kinda accent

BTW- try using "I REKON" or IM FITNA" in a sentence. i rekon im fitna go down yunder and get me a coke. yunder is pronounced "yunner". now lets c it in a video

first of all, yall just dawged the real south by calling Florida part of the south. Florida ain't nothing but retired Yankees and Cubans. so don't waste yalls time trying to talk southern. just keep ur current accent and add just a tiny latin wing to it....... you'll fit right in

Well not all of Floridian people sound the same. A lot of the people said I talked funny when I moved there from South Carolina. A lot of people in Florida sound like Northerners to me because a lot of the people that live there retired there and continued raising their families there. Y'all is a HUGE southern saying and they didn't understand me in Tampa. As soon as I get a hold of a video camera I will deff post a video response, you're accents are strange at some parts.

And if I were you, I'd stick with your own accents. Floridians don't sound that Southern anyways. They have a wee bit of a Midwestern sound so you'd probably fit in better there than say, Alabama or Mississippi. Decent attempt, though. I'd say the one on the left did better than the one on the right. I'm an Alabamian, so I know Southern accents pretty well. : )

If you come down South, you will be better off if you just keep your accent rather than trying to do a southern accent. We are not that snobby or unwelcoming. But one thing you can do is not pronounce Florida like " Flori-da" but rather like "Floorda" :) Nothing wrong with your accents, just try to appreciate the South when you come here and you will be fine.

Wisconsin natives do have accents on their a's and o's, wiscansin, have sounds like heave, Floridans don't really have southern accents, specifically because it attracts people from all over, making somewhat of an amalgam of languages, because of the increased standard of living, for many parts the accent has dissipated. People from the Midwest don't typically have accents as much, as you'll notice many news reporters derive their heritage from the Midwest, successful for their clarity

snowangeInc(sp?) is right. Instead of going it's goin' or taking it's taken. I'm from Alabama and I'm right outside Florida. Some phrases that you might want to know are:Britches(pants) I don't know if that's spelled right. A shopping cart is called a buggy. You don't press something you mash it. The blankets on a bed are called covers. I guess that's the basics =). I know you guys will get it down

You don't really need to speak with a Southern accent to fit in. Thanks to TV, Northern accents don't really sound all that strange to us. But if you still want to try a Southern accent, just make a few subtle changes at a time, so it doesn't sound forced. You've already got the trademarked word "y'all", so that would be step 1. The next big thing would be to drop the g off the -ing words - walkin', drivin', talkin'. We're kind of lazy with word endings.
snowangelnc 2 years ago
After you're comfortable with the "ing" words, try pronouncing words with "en" as if they were spelled "in." In other words, pen and pin are homophones here. Same with ten and tin. Hen would sound like hin...pencil - pincil...golden - goldin...energy - inergy. Don't worry about drawling out the vowels yet, just pronounce them like you normally would if the words really were spelled with an i.

TheBestFwends 2 years ago
Look, the fact that you're trying is ok I guess but it will be very obvious that you're not from the south and are just pretending to sound southern until you pick up on the lingo and dialect. I can tell you that it will certainly come off as an insult for them to hear you butchering our speech when you should just talk like you would normally talk. If you're planning to stay for a while then you'll pick up on it eventually so there's no reason to practice. We're not zoo animals.
SanguineBullet667 2 years ago
What I'm trying to say is that whenever someone is always thinking about how they speak the always over-exagerate their speach, making them sound retarded. You're not learning a new language, we can understand you and you can understand us. Pick up on the dialect little by little so you don't sound/act (uncontieously) like an ass. You'll come off as arrogant.

wow yall dont really need to worry about it florida aint that much of a southern state unless ur out in the sticks, if your really concerned about it, just start changing simple saying like "aren't you gonna go with me" to aint ya gonna come?

Well, Im from NC & southern accents come naturally. Not having a real southern accent, its hard to have one that doesnt sound fake. Most people in the south dont exagerate vowels, but some words we do. Its subtle instead of just like BAM! Yall need practice, but I hope this helps some.

If anything you'll be cool because you guys are from the north and it'll be a conversation starter. Florida does not have that big of a southern accent. I go to Florida State and that's in the Panhandle, that is where you probably find a southern accent in Florida, and the southern accent just naturally sticks to you. Trust me, in no time you'll be drinking sweet tea on your front porch. ;)
moe122389 2 years ago
You can't change your voice to mimic southerners. If anyone from the south hears you speak with a fake accent they think of it as a mockery. Trust me keep your true accent and have a good time in the south, because its a more pleasant place.
But you would be in Florida and we Georgian neighbors don't think of them as southerners. So do as you please just tell them how much you hate the Gators and the Dawgs will always be better.

How can you be confused? During the civil war you had the yanks and the Johnny Reb. The name has stuck with them. Its another name for northerner. You have to understand the hard feelings the south have for the northerners haven't truly evaporated. There is a small grudge that most southerners feel against the north simply because we feel that the south has always been mistreated.

The most helpful advice would simply be: don't make fun of those who have southern accents. Southerners like myself may laugh off a southern joke, but deep down they hate it. It's seen as disrespectful here. I personally cringe when I hear someone imitating a southern accent. And Florida has very few pockets of land where the people have actual southern accents. I use to live in Orlando.
