“Has anybody else got a British — and I have to stress British — toddler who watches Ms. Rachel and, as they’ve started to speak, you realize that they’ve actually got an American accent?” Convey asks in a now-viral TikTok video.
Alongside her band, which includes her husband, Broadway composer Aron, Ms. Rachel uses music to make language learning more fun. Her songs are also designed to encourage movement, listening skills and social emotional growth. Since launching her YouTube channel in 2019, Ms. Rachel's videos amassed more than 2 billion views.
The London-based comedian then turns the camera on her daughter Bea, and together they go over a list of words, including car and zebra.Convey pronounces zebra, “zeh-bruh,” while Bea uses the American pronunciation with a long e-sound.. “But luckily she still says waw-tuh and not water!”“She’s 21 months, and she’s only just started talking in full sentences but you can hear the tone in her voice is very American,” Convey says, with a laugh."We love Ms. Rachel in our house.
Comments continue to pour in on Convey’s TikTok video, which is captioned, “Born in the USA.” Some parents said they are experiencing the exact same phenomenon with their British kids. "That's nothing my daughters nursery teacher called me and asked which part of America my baby was from... She's British," one person wrote.
Another person added that their young neighbor watched Ms. Rachel religiously and at 7-years-old he"still speaks American."
