Question

i need to talk in a irish accent for history 4 days from now

Answer 1

Look up Fair City on You tube.

That's an Irish soap and there's loads of accents to choose from.

= )

Answer 2

Fallen Angel:  No, no  th's are t's d's are t's

bh's are v's

mh's are v's

augh is ock

there are exceptions to all the rules though

e.g. north = nort

The North Eastern American accent (Boston) is so similar to Irish that you could get away with it to all but a native Irish person.

Seriously though, there are at least a dozen different accents in Ireland, you will get major disagreements between those from the south and north of the Republic, and the Mayo accent is a different kettle of fish altogether!

Then you have the Northern Irish accents....

Answer 3

I'm Irish. I wish I could loan you my Cork accent for a day. lol

Just pronounce all your "th"s as "de" and you'll be grand.

And at the end of every sentence you have to say:

"Ya know wot I mean like" in a slightly melodical tone

Say phrases like:

I'm grand tanx

It's givin' a bit

Jaysus that's great craic

Jaysus ya can't be doin' dat

How's she cuttin'?

What's the craic?

I was absolutely langers last night

Did ya see the head on yer man over there with the big stick on him and he ragin' like a bull.

:) Hope that helped

Answer 7

watch something with irish people in it, make sure its irish and not northern irish, as we speak very different than southern irish. check it out online, go to youtube and watch father ted episodes or ballykissangel.

Fallen Angel, your getting confused you know what i mean like is more northern irish

Answer 8

Watch Irish films like The wind that shakes the barley, Michael Collins (DO NOT imitate Julia Roberts here though), The Commitments, The Snapper, The Van... or like someone said the soap Fair City. You can also look up for Irish TV shows on youtube or on the RTE (national TV network) website www.rte.ie.

Answer 9

1) Whatever you do, don't and I mean DON'T sound like Brad Pitt in Snatch.

2) Is it a northern or southern accent you need as they are completly different.

Answer 10

WATCH THIS:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGJfOD0mP...

ok here's some tips:

Replace-with:

I wanna-I wanta

twenny-twen-ty(make sure and pronounce the t)

Thirty-tirty(don't pronounce th's eg.thing-ting)

Cat-cah(some dialects don't pronounce the t at the end of words)

Here's some words we use:

Deadly-great/really good    eg that's deadly!

Jax-Toilet

Spuds-potatoes.

The Black stuff-Guinness

Craic-fun   eg mad craic

and here's some holy ones some people use:

Oh Lord bless us and save us.

Oh Holy Mother of God

Oh My God/Lord    -These are all phrases for suprise.
