I am Jamaican and just so you people we do not use 'irie' and 'mon' at the end of every thing we say.there is much more to say than that so before you come writing or saying things please set your information straight.Not everyone in Jamaica smoke but a lot of the rastas or dread whatever you know them by love to smoke ganja or herb whatever uno call i.It is gonna be hard to get the real Jamaican accent even if you learn a word or two in patois but with great practice and dedication who knows what will happen.You should try talking to a Jamaican with Jamaicn accent.mi wish yu all I best though.from a real and true jamaican gyul ah big up yu self fi a try get jamaican accent.suh gwaan do u ting ah nuh watch nuh face.

In order to speak the Jamaican dialect properly you would have to have a Jamaican friend or visit Jamaica.

There is such a huge stereotype around where tourists think that all Jamaicans use words such as "Irie" and "Mon" at the end of each sentence. We don't. There is also a misconception that everyone is Jamaica wears dreads and smokes marijuana - not true.

In order to get the real essence of Jamaica you would really have to visit the island.

I am definately going to have to agree with Racquel W on that one. And putting "mon" and " irie" at the end of every sentence is just annoying.

I think it is really difficult to get a Jamaican accent. U might learn to speak Jamaican (patois) but people hardly get the accent correctly.

Hang around Jamaicans everyday for 50 years and then you can speak the way we do.

well i guess you could listen some reggae/ dancehall music and watch some Jamaican movies. I guess that could help.

Why do you want the accent?

The only way to get a jamaican accent is to born in Jamaica. When Americans speak our language quite frankly it sounds stupid, to us it's like a mockery. Just try to make a mockery of it like other americans, that'll work.

just watch different music and listen to songs and soon enough you should be able to pick something up!!!

I think you could learn the accent by practicing. You need to speak to someone Jamaican or watch a movie with Jamaican accents.

just smoke some good ganga and drink some jamaican rum and you will be speaking patois in no time.....

Arual

yeah mon, just add mon to everything, they also like to say other words but trust me if you ever go to Jamaica it gets old really quickly

Now why would one want a Jamaican accent mon?
