Corkonian Accents

In preparation for my trip, I decided to brush up on my accents. Corkonians - the residents of Cork, or Corcaigh (pronounced Corkig), are notoriously difficult to understand for even the native English speaking foreigners. Over time I have gotten used to the way Paul speaks. After living in England for 17 years, however, his Corcaigh accent is rather subdued. [he fervently disagrees]

My methods are simple. I am going to laugh really hard watching and re-watching these brilliant cartoons by Sminky Shorts. I like the "I can't do it" the best, but the "Awful Sad" and "Fat Rabbit" are pretty hilarious. Enjoy!
