How to speak Brummie

How to Speak Brummie (A "Brummie" is a nickname for someone who lives in Birmingham. So the accent is also called "Brum" or "Brummie"): pronounce the "th" sound as a "f" sound. So "faith" is actually "faif" Also drop your t's and r's. So the name "Peter" is "Pe-ah" Now if you want to say "thirteenth" you say, "fir-eenf"

The other night I was talking with a member with a strong Brummie accent, and she asked me, "was it nos?" I was like, "nos? What’s nos?" She bursts out laughing, and then I realized she was saying "nice" - ha! Just couldn't understand her accent!
