Yorkshire Accents

Yorkshire Accent

Yorkshire is the largest county in the UK in the north of England. The accent is sometimes known as Broad Yorkshire or Tyke, and is often considered a country accent, but because the area is so large, there can be variation, such as in cities like Bradford and Leeds - but there are a lot of shared elements.

Yorkshire Accent Learning Materials

  • The Yorkshire accent materials include recordings of AccentHelp coach Jim Johnson guiding you through learning the accent, along with coach Carolyn Johnson providing a female voice for the practice sentences. Jim will also lead you through a monologue in this accent.
  • There are also recordings of native speakers reading and in conversation, and you'll be able to follow along with a PDF transcript of these conversations.
  • You'll get a PDF of the teaching materials, plus three more formats of the book: a PDF to print, a MOBI for Kindle, and an EPUB for other portable readers.
  • All of the sound files are in MP3 format so that you can play them on your computer, load them onto your phone, or burn them to a CD.
  • This accent is appropriate for productions of Secret Garden, Wuthering Heights, and Calendar Girls, and you'll hear it on programs like Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones.
  • You'll also get future updates for free!
