  • what is american accent ? what is african english ,,some called black english is there some thing called bosten accent ?

  • The African English you're talking about might exist in South Africa among the people of British descent. I know it does not exist in America.

    And yes, a Boston accent is an accent specific to the city of Boston and the surrounding areas. New York accents are similar, but not the same.

  • does anyone know which type of american accent is used for voice acting in cartoons things like that?

    please answer, it will help me out!

  • i could help you, but you'd have to be more specific. cartoons don't have a set accent - give me a character or a show

  • Hello there. Deep sea salvage Tug Ocean Force - Calling. It's late and pitch Black outside. Engineer Tom & second Mate Dutch watching utube on lap-top. We found your video on talking yank. You talk funny and we like your Air-screw Fan behind your left lughole. Our Ben the 1st Mate aboard Ocean Force is a Michigan boy. We watched your video and went to our Ben. He said we were Sh1T and sounded crap. PS. We all like your beard! Ocean Force out.

  • Would "help" to get to the point alot quicker!!! : /

  • wtf 

  • we dont give a fuck about your hair.

  • @Tahabileya There are tons of American accents. From New England to Brooklyn, "Jewish", Jersey, Southern, Midwestern, Texan, the list goes on. The Midwestern has the correct pronunciation. Cah-Boston Car-Midwest. There is no "Black English" that is just a group of people speaking incorrectly. I.E. Hello, what are you doing? Yo, what up homie? Remember the most important thing to know about accents is their rhythm.

  • Dung! i should not watch this video...you've better watch Lisa mojsin and Rebecca Linquist to learn how to speak over the video.... :-(

  • wats the motherfucking gay music

  • this is not a lesson, the man is sick with loud musicaround.

  • what the fucking point on this, if you cut all your bull shit down its only 20 seconds long, and why have the music in the background when we are ment to hear your voice.
