Sheekh farax, why are you laughing? When you speak English it is with a german/dutch accent, non? Und dank u.
BaasAbuur, lol, I understand them, but I don't know all of the new many slangs, and that bugs me. I like the weirdest American Accent, like the deep south one and the New York one (mafia one, I dont know what it is, New Jersey?)

Also, I notice the more educated the British individual is the more similar his accent is to American English.
I have to say you are far of the mark. It all depends on the class a lot of the time. But generally if they are educated they have 'Standard British accent' like that of the Tube/Bus/Train and BBC announcers. I would say the guy on that video is more to the 'Posh' side. You will get a lot of rich people who are educated and they have 'posh' accent, completely different from others. My teacher an educated man, but with a slight 'cockney' accent. Education is free and possible for all, but in most cases you speak like those you live amongst.
Ka Darag, she does seem frightening abit.
Babygirl, Uff No way. I hope you don't speak like that.

it is not becoz they have not gone to school.... it becoz it's considered cool to speak in slang lingo.. i am pretty sure it is da same in america.
however the somalis that are in uni are less likely to speak like that becoz that sort of accent/lingo wont get you far in uni
warsan... I have never picked up da bham accents
