How to do a Geordie accent
- Say 'no' and 'go' with a short 'nur' and 'gur' sound.
- Turn 'ow' in 'out' and 'down' into 'oot' and 'doon'.
- Make the 'ur' in 'work' and 'shirt' a rounded 'or': 'wok', 'short'.
- Lift the pitch at the end of phrases and finish with 'man' or 'pet'.
The most common mistake
