If you are from Liverpool you can usually even tell which area they are from as the accent can be softer, more pronounced or harsher in tone and intonation. An easy or humorous way of learning the lilt of a Scouse accent is to say 'Day, doo doo dat don't day.' 😃

I love accents it’s always interesting to hear it and it makes a language kind of lively, sometimes rather funny too, at least f e the Saxon accent in German. You mentioned the Irish influence in Scouse and the Singsang in the accent Scouse, this reminds me of an Irisch actor, Jamie Dornan, because he has a slightly Singsang and a lift up at the end of his sentences too. Thank you for the interesting insight into the different accents. I appreciate it very much.

Scouser here.. The football players came from opposite ends of the City so have different lilts. John Bishop is not a Scouser - he was born here but raised in Cheshire making him a 'Wool'. He exaggerates the accent for comedic gain - he's a knob head! The influence on our accent is mainly Irish (Tink - not think or fink as like Southerners and dink instead of think) which is why it is melodious. We are proud to be mongrels because we survive anything that is thrown at us!

Hi Tom, I'm slower getting used to scouse accent because I follow the Champions League Tv show on CBS hosted by Kate Abdo (a Manc but slighlty American as well), Micah Richards (a Brummie) and Jamie Carragher (a Scouser). It' beautiful spotting the differences, even though it's a bit tough... I also think that as an Italian, I have a little advantage in understanding northener accent, beacuse at school they tent to teach RP but actually when reading or speaking we spell all the words with open vowels. In fact the Italian language has many, many wider sounds than english one and in some way we adapt the italian pronunciation to english language. Last but not least, I wish you a merry christmas!🌲
