I love accents (UK accents in particular) and I can't wait to see this video!

I think the phrase you all were looking for was mind's eye when it comes to imagining things. You "see" things but you don't actually see them

Even more basic than accent: language! https://youtu.be/uHMNGMFZQeQ Inflections, non-verbal actions, context: many different factors to communication.

I think you have a point there, out language is mostly driven by visual references (you see?) so we refer to mind-stuff in visual terms as-well.

I recently found out that I have no way of telling whether an American is saying "code" or "coat", and it's kind of bugging me. A Dutch English accent has the reverse: you can't say a d, b, z or v at the end of a word in Dutch; it becomes a t, p, s or f respectively. British people pretending to do a Dutch accent always do some really weird lisping thing that doesn't sound anything like a Dutch person speaking English and I have no idea why.

The end of this was killing me (also, as someone with both anxiety and a never-ending inner monologue, I would love to spend a day in taha’s brain)

This has been real fun to listen to whilst on the tube good job! The part abt 'seeing' and 'imagining' is also so much fun LOL As someone who uses English as their second language, I also find that I speak differently with different people, kinda inevitable given the verbal and exposure learning of the language itself to be honest. I have thought before if that has more to do with one's sensitivity towards sounds and voice cues, that one may be easier to mimick what they heard and then adapt the accents, whereas if people aren't less sound/voice sensitive, they might just have less chances to have an accent or change them much?

I missed the podcasts so much, this one (much like every other) was a blast

Taha going "Hmm yes, this is were people have a monologue" has very strong NPC vibes to me

Now I'm on a mission to get everyone to describe to me how they imagine stuff and seeing with their "inner eyeball" 😆 My inner film always has subtitles. If I can see the words typed out in my brain, I don't understand what I'm hearing which means I can't remember it.
