The English Language In 30 Accents
An animated remake/extension of my last accent video that went viral back in late 2010 (sorry for the wait lol).This time I have added some new accents and my friend Chris (aka CmOrigins) has animated each one of them.He has been one of my good friends since secondary school and did a fantastic job with the animations in this video so I would appreciate it if you check out his YouTube channel
http://www.youtube.com/user/cmorigins?feature=results_main and subscribe to him.
Anyway I understand that the accents may not all be perfect some may be quite bad (depending on your own perception of them) but they are just a bit of fun and I did my best with them. I learned most of them over the years randomly from TV, Movies, Videogames and real life experiences. As I always say and have repeatedly said in this video: These accents and (animated scenarios) are not meant to offend anyone and should not be taken seriously. I apologise for the all the accents I have missed out or done a terrible job on.

“He’s got the memory of a goldfish.”
This expression is used to
say that someone has a very poor memory. It’s based on the idea that gold!sh
have a memory of only three seconds. But scientists have actually trained gold!sh
to navigate mazes. So, they aren’t so forgetful after all!
“I’m as blind as a bat without my
glasses.”
People who can’t see very
well are often compared to bats. However, bats aren’t actually blind. Most
species use echolocation to help them "y around at night, but they also
have eyes and are capable of sight.
