"English" lessons
« on: March 14, 2010, 08:21:51 AM »
Good for a laugh anyway, though not if you want to learn how to speak English.

Now I've listened to him a lot, and MrT doesn't sound anything like that woman. Well, maybe a little.  :P

As a bit of background information, this video was made by one of those "how-to" companies. The person hosting the video on YouTube is some randomer. It appears that the company took the video down after the barrage of video responses by English speakers saying what codswallop it was. :P

This may have been posted before, but this is Amy Walker (an actress) doing 21 different accents. She's kinda scary, but most are pretty good.

Creepy! She's really good. And her teeth are very white.

I love how she doesn't even know that she means a British Accent, not Dialect. And since when did Britatin have just one accent??? Let's explore that idea, shall we?

Cockney (London - origin of the Australian accent, probably)
Yorkshire - quite frequently divided from one valley to the next. Someone in Barnsley sounds nothing like someone in Bradford, although they're just 30 miles from each other.
West Country - places like Cornwall, Devon, etc.
Welsh - divided into broad and standard
Scottish - comes in huge variety! Particularly from Glasgow, where it's entirely unintelligible.
Newcastle area
Manchester area
Liverpool area (Scouse)
Kent area
Ireland
Recieved Pronunciation (RP - spoken by the Queen).

And each one of these subdivides MANY times. Fail.

Regional pronunciation? You must mean "received".
