The Best Accent is an English that is Properly Pronounced and with the best tone for your own personal voice . I Grew up in Chicago and in school they taught us the Rules of Proper Pronounciation . Hearing a Highly Educated person who Grew Up in Chicago is like Music to the ears in Comparison to the way New Yorkers speak . New Yorkers are an Embarrassment to the English Language !
First off I just want to say to you thank you for posting this because you are right! And being from Chicago I hate when we are associated with the " Chicago accents" Eg. DA bears. I believe that Chicago is just a mix of people " melting pot" with accents from all over the world. but thats just me
I was born in Chicago. Was just commenting today how everyone should spend some time in Chicago to learn how to talk. Thank you for speaking the language as it should be spoken. Dear God I've spent the last two years in West Virginia. Please never let me hear the words You all together again as long as I live. As in "How are you all today".
@helloandagain Yeah, i lumped it into one category because I am from the chicago suburbs..so if I write "Chicago accent' everyone is going to say "blah blah blah ur from the burbs' so there it is...midwest/illinois.
@ShelbylynnB5 Yeah, well I am suburban thats why I tired to say more "midwest" than Chicago. and I was raised by Polish immigrants so people tell me I talk to sometimes say I say some words different than them.
im from chicago and yes i do kinda have a accent im italian too soo maybe that mixes too lol but wow ur cute i live in elk grove are you single ,i think we would look good together, lol im not a creep
And thank you for posting this video. People are always telling me that we sound like we're Canadian. I'm from Southeastern Michigan, and yes my family is Canadian, but we do NOT sound Canadian or "Fargo"
So true. I don't anyone who talks in the so called "Chicago" accent. I guess they've been watching too much TV because we don't have an accent in Chi-Town.
@RougeTheBatBreezy Im from the middle west too.. I'm in Illinois. Only one person I know calls it "pop" and shes from Missouri. What part are you from??
@xxxLOGANNPxxx I was originally Born in the City of Chicago The "West side" to be exact But, I had to get out of phase quickly when I move to the suburbs they thought it was cute and I think it was embarrassing lol
@tombrokaw3 My mom is Polish and she has an accent when she speaks, yes. But an accent is also how you stress/pronounce sounds, not just what foreigners have. A person from California stresses different sounds than a Chicagoan does. You wouldn't say they have a different "dialect" than us. the USA is a bad example because the differences in language by region is SUBTLE, not extreme. We could travel to Cali and understand w/ no problem. Spain is a good example look into it.
Dialect isn't just grammar, it's also the way things are pronounced. Accents are what you notice people have when they are speaking a language that isn't their first language. Different vocabulary doesn't mean a different language, neither does different grammar. I'm from the Chicagoland area, many people do speak with an accent/dialect (whatever), impersonations are usually just exaggerations not complete fabrications. Try not to be so defensive about it, especially if you don't talk that way.
@JennM20 when did i EVER say that mine was the RIGHT one? I never did. I was showing my accent. A majority of people around me talk like meDoesn't that make sense? I was commenting to the video in the description. Gosh, ignorant people like you who only have negative things to say really piss me off. Get off the internet and get a life.
@JennM20 I never said mine was the right one. Can't you read the title? I'm from the suburbs. That's why I didn't classify it as a solely Chicago accent. How ignorant of you to judge me by a 50 second video.
This chick's accent is only one version of the Midwest accent. How ignorant it is of her to say hers is the right one. She doesn't even sound like she's from Chicago.
I love the chicagoes accent! Like Chicago we say Shi-Caw-Go is one and instead of the bulls, we say Da bulls. Instead if th we replace it for a D, we also roll are s. We also say our a's in a different way, like Aw. If you wanna know more and see more search up mayor Daley he has a deep accent.
@crazzyfunn178 That's pretty funny..we're both from the midwest but in Michigan we say sha-CAA-go...One thing I've noticed about Chicago is if I were to say "do you want to go the store with me...they tend to say "I am going to the store. Do you want to go with?"
Chicago actually has a accent but it's not as strong as a New York accent or southern accent. Its easy for us as Chicago people who's from here and not just by the way we talk.
@icecoldt well, I'm not saying that there isn't an accent because there is! We just can't hear it because we are surrounded by it and grow up hearing it. I made this because people who imitate Chicago accents channel the Super Fans from SNL and over exaggerate, like in the link in my description. :]
haha funny video. Im new to youtube everyone so please check out some of my videos I have one on how to be a ladies one and my personal favorite "does size matter" lol so check em out and let me know what think but this was a funny video keep up the good work!!!
Thank you for this video. there is no accent for the Midwest. I just moved to Dallas this summer from Chicago and people just sound different here, but I met this chick the other day and I asked her if she was from Chicago and I was right. Her voice just sounded so normal to me which caught my eye since there was no accent aheh.
Im from chicago too. I sound just like you and i honestly dont know what a chicago accent is! I know that it has something to do with the way we pronounce vowels but im trying to figure out how it sounds different from the general american accent
I have family members from the *South Side* of Chicago that definitely sound similar to the accents in the SNL "Da Bears" skit-- that is a fact! So, while people generally from Chicago do not sound that way, many that I personally know do!
I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago[Fuller Park]. and I too get tired of folks thinking we talk like the Superfans from SNL. There are so many accents in this city alone. When I lived in North Carolina, people thought I was from either NY, Toronto[have no idea why], Wisconsin, and other guesses. what really made them gasp was whenever I said 'pop' instead of soda. LOL!
@rashock34 yeah. Every region/city has its own quirks, which makes it an accent. But not a dialect. I can speak to a New Yorker they way I do now and we could understand each other perfectly
I know some people in Chicago who actually do sound like the Superfans. They're older in their late 30's and up, not too many younger people sound like that at all.. The Black accent in chicago is like a watered down southern accent but ALOT faster.
@coqoi Interesting you say that... Why do you think that is? I dont think it's a dialect because we don't use different words or different grammar than standard English in America. For instance..Catalan is a Spanish dialect- use of diff vocabulary and diff grammar standards in a separate region of Spain.
I've actually come to find that we say "on" differently than some people. People outside the Chicago area would probably say "Awn" while most Chicagoans including myself say "Ahn". Other than that, there are just these minor nuances in the way we form sentences, such as our tendency to leave out words in places where the meaning is clear. It is hard to pick up on the things we say differently, because we typically speak standard English, but there are sublte differences if you listen.
I'm born and bred on the west side of Chicago,and there isn't just one Chicago accent. There are a few,depends where and what part of Chicago you're from. They say some of us sound country. That's mainly the niggas on the south side though, the north side well fuck them I could give two shit shits about them. But the west side we really don't have accents,but you can always tell what part of Chicago we're from.
actually people from chicago and the northern midwest states do pronounce their vowels like that. It's an observed phenomenon in linguistics called the northern cities vowel shift
hi, I'm doing an english project on the difference in dialect between the south side of chicago and the north side. I grew up on the south side and went to school on the north. I talk a lot like you. I was going to use this video in my project, was wondering if your from the north side of chicago???

I think it really depends at what part of the city your from. I actually say a lot of the things we don't say. I mean, heck, I've heard REALLY thick accents, and I think "Jesus, that's like the typical accent everyone thinks us Chicagoans have." Lots of cops have that really thick accent, I noticed as well.
@PoetryMyLove i agree i think that accent can change based on what part of chicago your from... im from the west side and ive hear ppl say that we have kind of have a country accent.. but i think our accent is very standard compared to other extremely distinct accents like the n NYer or ppl form the south...
@cyclol well chicago is in the midwest thats why I put it in the title, hence Illinois as well. I wouldn't consider Dallas midwest though, but to each his own. There are so many types of accents and I was just showcasing mine.
Chicago accents are not the same thing as Midwest accents. People have midwest accents in Metropolitan Dallas areas, Metro St. Louis, etc. You def. have a Chicago accent.
You may not want to believe it because we obviously don't exaggerate it like they do on SNL, but we do talk like those guys a little bit. Say the words "dot com" and you'll know what I am talking about immediately.
@Kirkkoman When you're from the United States you can definitely pick up on other accents from different regions. There's southern, deep south, cali accent, east coast, Minnesota,..and so on ...so many types. Just like all UK accents sound similar to me, USA accents probably all sound similar to you...I made this video because someone imitated a Chicago accent badly and I was frustrated.
I agree! Im from Illinois too. I hear the slightest of smiles to our words, but nothing as stereotypical as what you've described. Thanks for posting, my sentiments!!!
Well maybe the East Coast accent and the Southern accents are mildly defined. But the rest of the dialects really all just sound the same. There is a variation in the Tennessee accent, but definitely not in Chicago. Not anyway near enough to justify a video devoted to it
@Kirkkoman People will perceive the differences between UK accents better if they're British. Americans have a hard time differentiating a Manc accent from a Scouse accent or even a Geordie. Many can't even distinguish a Welsh accent from other British accents. They might pick up the difference between a Scots and cockney or RP accent but have difficulty with others. Likewise America has many accents that the Brits simply are not attuned to that will be quite noticeable to Americans
@Kirkkoman Have you been to the states or are you basing that from all the television you watch? Come to the US and travel around and then make that claim. What a goof!

Well maybe the East Coast accent and the Southern accents are mildly defined. But the rest of the dialects really all just sound the same. There is a variation in the Tennessee accent, but definitely not in Chicago. Not anyway near enough to justify a video devoted to it

@Kirkkoman People will perceive the differences between UK accents better if they're British. Americans have a hard time differentiating a Manc accent from a Scouse accent or even a Geordie. Many can't even distinguish a Welsh accent from other British accents. They might pick up the difference between a Scots and cockney or RP accent but have difficulty with others. Likewise America has many accents that the Brits simply are not attuned to that will be quite noticeable to Americans

@Kirkkoman Have you been to the states or are you basing that from all the television you watch? Come to the US and travel around and then make that claim. What a goof!

I'll never believe we have accents.. but maybe that's why our women sound sexier than women in other places..
