<\/p>\nAn Australian classroom erupted in laughter this week when a Yorkshire teacher reverted to his thick native drawl, leaving his students endlessly entertained.<\/p>\n
Nathan Hill\u2019s primary school class \u2013 and millions online \u2013 were left in stitches after the British man decided to drop his pronunciation during a reading lesson. <\/p>\n
In two TikTok videos posted by the teacher, the young children can be heard barely containing their excitement over Mr Hill\u2019s distinct accent. <\/p>\n
The afternoon briefly descended into chaos as the kids jumped at the chance to ask him to repeat certain words and phrases, sending the educator himself into a fit of giggles. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re a Yorkshireman teaching in an Australian school, and the children in your class absolutely lose it after they hear more of the little mannerisms,\u201d Mr Hill captioned the footage. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey started to quiz me afterwards!\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Much to the students\u2019 delight, Mr Hill appeased their curiosity by reading a passage of a book in his native cadence.<\/p>\n
At their request, he also repeated back \u201cSteve Irwin\u201d, \u201cKentucky Fried Chicken\u201d, and \u201ceggs and bacon\u201d, which triggered a wave of glee.<\/p>\n
The kids continued to grill Mr Hill for 25 minutes, prompting the teacher to exclaim that he was also crying with laughter. <\/p>\n
Aussies praise \u2018incredible\u2019 class<\/p>\n
The videos brought joy to hundreds of thousands of people online this week, with many praising the \u201cwholesome\u201d content.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is so funny. You can hear the kids loving this,\u201d one person commented. <\/p>\n
\u201cI LOVE that you can giggle with your class about this!\u201d another said. <\/p>\n
\u201cHow are you getting any learning done? What an absolute hoot! What an incredible class,\u201d someone else wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese kids will always remember you as their favourite teacher! Love this,\u201d another viewer exclaimed.<\/p>\n
Expat teachers share comical classroom stories<\/p>\n
Numerous other expats living in Australia chimed in with their own comical interactions. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a Barnsley lass teaching in Sydney, so I totally get this\u2026keep that accent strong lad,\u201d a fellow teacher said.<\/p>\n
An English educator said that while her accent is \u201cmore generic\u201d, her students also love to imitate her. <\/p>\n
\u201cGeordie teacher in Australia \u2013 the collective amusement of all staff\/students when I announce our annual \u201csnug as a bug in a rug mufti day (casual dress)\u201d never gets old,\u201d another said. <\/p>\n
A Brisbane teacher who is originally from the same area as Mr Hill said they recently covered the topic of \u201cwater in our world\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t know how we got through it,\u201d they joked. <\/p>\n
Even the Americans aren\u2019t safe. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey always asked me to say \u2018it\u2019s a bell bird\u2019, \u2018cheeseburger\u2019 and \u2018hotdog\u2019. Kids are the best,\u201d a US expat said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Australian classroom erupted in laughter this week when a Yorkshire teacher reverted to his thick native drawl,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":889423,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[459164,459174,459131,459159,459147,459151,376791,459170,459172,448610,459157,459150,459135,425954,459148,459139,459182,459154,459183,401692,459162,459127,28540,459173,459181,459158,459190,459177,459161,459176,459165,64,459191,459129,459184,63,459134,459167,108374,340594,359859,459140,17862,300842,459143,459180,459149,459141,459169,459145,459144,459137,459130,459152,459142,459155,284390,459168,384271,28825,158323,12756,221073,21512,29705,316652,459186,44,37473,459185,386220,1861,378066,44237,299488,670,30023,459166,459136,379784,434060,381352,459138,376941,378538,459171,459189,378046,459188,378567,459187,406344,459132,459146,444783,459192,378960,459175,459128,380233,459156,459178,459133,459160,199184,459179,383207,459163,11814,459153],"class_list":["post-889422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-classthe-videos","tag-s-accent","tag-s-distinct-accent","tag-s-primary-school-class","tag-s-thick-accent","tag-eggs-and-bacon","tag-25-minutes","tag-a-barnsley-lass-teaching","tag-a-bell-bird","tag-a-book","tag-a-brisbane-teacher","tag-a-bug","tag-a-fellow-teacher","tag-a-fit","tag-a-passage","tag-a-reading-lesson","tag-a-rug-mufti-day","tag-a-super-easy-dinner","tag-a-us-expat","tag-a-wave","tag-a-yorkshire-teacher","tag-a-yorkshireman-teaching","tag-absolutely","tag-accent-strong-lad","tag-all-staff-students","tag-an-absolute-hoot","tag-an-australian-classroom","tag-an-australian-school","tag-an-incredible-class","tag-another-viewer-exclaimed-kidspot-kitchen-moduleexpat-teachers","tag-any-learning","tag-au","tag-aussie-kids","tag-aussie-students","tag-aussies-praise","tag-australia","tag-casual-dress","tag-certain-words-and-phrases","tag-chaos","tag-cheeseburger","tag-colesy13","tag-comical-classroom-storiesnumerous-other-expats","tag-cook","tag-delight","tag-english-educator","tag-fits","tag-geordie-teacher","tag-giggles","tag-glee-the-kids","tag-her-accent","tag-her-students","tag-his-australian-primary-school-class","tag-his-native-cadence-at","tag-his-pronunciation","tag-his-students","tag-his-thick-native-drawl","tag-hundreds-of-thousands","tag-hysterics","tag-incredible","tag-joy","tag-kentucky-fried-chicken","tag-kids","tag-laughter","tag-lunch","tag-millions","tag-mr-hill","tag-nathan-hill","tag-news","tag-one-person","tag-our-annual-snug","tag-our-world","tag-people","tag-someone-else","tag-steve-irwin","tag-stitches","tag-sydney","tag-teacher","tag-the-wholesome-content","tag-the-wholesome-moment","tag-the-afternoon","tag-the-americans","tag-the-best","tag-the-british-man","tag-the-chance","tag-the-children","tag-the-collective-amusement","tag-the-educator","tag-the-footage","tag-the-herby-chicken","tag-the-kids","tag-the-little-mannerisms","tag-the-next-day","tag-the-perfect-wrap","tag-the-same-area","tag-the-students","tag-the-teacher","tag-the-topic","tag-the-young-children","tag-their-curiosity","tag-their-excitement","tag-their-favourite-teacher","tag-their-own-comical-interactions","tag-their-request","tag-these-kids","tag-this-week","tag-thiskeep","tag-tiktok-videos","tag-two-tiktok-videos","tag-water","tag-your-class"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=889422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/889423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=889422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=889422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=889422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
