๐ฌ๐ง Cockney Accent Test: How Good Is Your Cockney Accent?
Cockney is quick and chatty, built on glottal stops, dropped H's and 'f' sounds for 'th'. It has a bouncy, cheerful rhythm.

How to do a Cockney accent
- Swap middle and end T's for a catch in the throat: 'bu'er', 'wa'er', 'li'le'.
- Drop the H at the start of words: ''ouse', ''ave', ''ello'.
- Turn 'th' into 'f' or 'v': 'fink', 'free' for three, 'bruvver'.
- Shift 'ay' towards 'eye': 'mite' for mate, 'tuh-dye' for today.
The most common mistake
Adding glottal stops but keeping posh vowels; the 'eye' for 'ay' shift matters too.
