Scamp, what's the Yorkshire accent like?
You could compare it with the Noord Brabant accent. It's the country and most people were farmers or working in Mills.
The working class.
I really had to get used to it and especially the elderly men were hard to understand. I can understand everyone now
This is a song in the Yorkshire accent:
Wheear 'ast tha bin sin' ah saw thee, ah saw thee?
On Ilkla Mooar baht 'at
Wheear 'ast tha bin sin' ah saw thee, ah saw thee?
Wheear 'ast tha bin sin' ah saw thee?
On Ilkla Mooar baht 'at
On Ilkla Mooar baht 'at
On Ilkla Mooar baht 'at
Tha's been a cooartin' Mary Jane
Tha's bahn' to catch thy deeath o` cowd
Then us'll ha' to bury thee
Then t'worms'll come an` eyt thee up
Then t'ducks'll come an` eyt up t'worms
Then us'll go an` eyt up t'ducks
Then us'll all ha' etten thee
That's wheear we get us ooan back
And this is the ''English'' translation:
Where have you been since I last saw you, last saw you?
On Ilkley Moor without a hat
Where have you been since I last saw you, last saw you?
Where have you been since I last saw you?
On Ilkley Moor without a hat
On Ilkley Moor without a hat
On Ilkley Moor without a hat
You have been courting Mary Jane
You are bound to catch your death of cold
Then we will have to bury you
Then the worms will come and eat you up
Then the ducks will come and eat up the worms
Then we will go and eat up the ducks
Then we will have eaten you
That's where we get our own back

So do you want to improve your British-English or your American-English? Will you be asking about pants or trousers? Slippers or flipflops? Stockings or pantyhoses, panties or knickers. Cotton candy or candy floss? Mighty confusing if you ask me.
May I also suggest watching tv without Dutch subtitles?

Pinkelot, I don't think it's something that BettyBlue has to think about yet.
To learn proper English is a first. Teaching yourself what is British or American is a second.
I've been taught British English in School and found out they use film and movie here in the UK.
They use shirt and t-shirt. panties and knickers.
Pants for men's underwear and sometimes on tv for trousers.
Language is changing and people will understand that we are not native speakers.

Lordy.
It sounds... northern. I quite like it but wouldn't be able to make heads or tails of it without subtitles.

PS. Later tonight you can see Little Britain on Dutch channel three. It's so funny, but maybe not a very good example to learn proper English.
Vickyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Sebas, that's how I started to learn English, like your daughter.
I always used to watch DJ Cat

Can I jump in too? I will probably make lots of grammar faults but I love to speak/write English.
Just got back from Oxford, what a beautiful city! I also wanted to see Highclere castle as it is wellknown from Downton Abbey but unfortunately it was closed......
We have got some Yorkshire hospitallity here!
And I can remeber that during the English lessons at the HAVO we often watched Fawlty Towers and Keeping Up Appereances.
Another tip: watch BBC, if necessary with ceefax page 888 for English subtitles!
Good luck!

My daughter used to watch Something Special (Mr. Tumble) often. The tv-show is ment for disabled people. But because of that it's very easy to follow for little children (and their parents)! She's learned a English words and small sentences from that show.
Nowadays she's more a fan of Timmy Time, Shaun Sheep and other Aardman shows.

Hi, maybe it's an idea to look for an English language course online? These days almost every language has such program online.
Or maybe you can try Interpals? That's a site where you can make friends from all over the world and they also have a section for language exchange. Maybe you can find an English native there who wants to learn Dutch and is willing to help you improve your English.

Yorkshire hospitallity = offering a full Englis breakfast to complete strangers who only asked if they could put up their tent in their very, very large backgarden for one night! We were not allowed to leave without.....
Oxford is a beautiful university city. If you watch Inspector Morse, Lewis or Endeavour Morse you will recognize a lot of places!
