Yes this is bad.

Does anyone remember Marked for Death with Steven Seagal? Some pretty bad accents there too.

Then there's the 'Jamaican' boyfriend in Scandal, the film about Christine Keeler, the hooker who brought down the British government in the 1960s. (My dad said she used to come to blues dance.)



Any more?

<span style="font-weight: bold">How to Speak With a Jamaican Accent</span>

Drop consonants. Words like &quot;last&quot;, &quot;left&quot;, &quot;slept&quot; and &quot;hand&quot; become &quot;las&quot;, &quot;lef&quot;, &quot;slep&quot; and &quot;han.&quot; This holds true for many words that end in a combination of a consonant, followed by &quot;t&quot; or &quot;d.&quot;

Drop the &quot;h&quot; sound. Many Jamaicans and English people leave off the beginning &quot;h&quot; in words like &quot;house&quot;, &quot;hoe&quot; and &quot;half.&quot;

Speak in the present tense even when referring to the past.
