Son muy simpáticos.

No estaba seguro de si conocías el programa. :)

Lo descubrí en la TV abierta hace poco y luego vi que hay un montón de episodios en YT. :D
(De niña no me habría perdido la hora de verlo por nada del mundo) :)

Your insinuation is very funny.:)

Where I come from some young people talk like this:o:

These video clips are from a British comedy series.
Estos videos son de Britanico programa de humor (Is this sentence correct? I’m trying my best to construct my own Spanish sentences:thinking:)

And in my town and others near me people talk like this! It’s the Essex dialect, bit different to a standard London one but is very similar to Cockney.
This one is an Essex dialect:
Esté es Essex dialecto:

...And this one is Cockney dialect:
...Y esté es Cockney dialecto:

We shouldn’t get accent and dialect mixed up though. An accent is how someone sounds from a different country like a Scottish accent and English accent. A dialect is the regional differences of word pronunciation and use from region to region, like Essex dialect, and a Cornish dialect...just thought I would add that.

What kind of accent is the first British comedy clip?

The difference between 'accent' and 'dialect' that I have learned is actually a bit different. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have learned that an 'accents' are mutually intelligible ways of pronouncing the same language. For instance, I have a southern US accent, but it would be no sweat for me to have a conversation in English with a Californian, a New Yorker, a New Zealander, etc. On the other hand, 'dialects' are mutually UNintelligible ways of speaking the same written language. For example, a Mandarin-Chinese speaker would not be able to have a spoken conversation with a Cantonese speaker, but would be able to communicate perfectly well in the written language, because the written Chinese language remains the same, regardless of dialect.

This is a long post. I've hidden the videos, so loading the page won't be a problem for slower connections. (Let me suggest not to quote the whole message)

I have mentioned some times that there is no such thing as "Latin American" Spanish, and maybe there is no such thing as a "national accent" in many countries. But there is a standard Spanish where we understand each other.
As an example, I have selected some interviews with high-level politicians from many Spanish speaking countries.
I chose politicians because regardless of what they say, they will use this standard language. And I chose interviews because they speak relaxedly and naturally, so their accents are appreciated.
