Learn Diffrent English Accents: MP3

0 00It’s always helpful to be familiar with different accents. Not only does this familiarization helps you to know where the people you are speaking to come form, but also it helps you understand them better if you know the variation in pronunciation and accent. 02br
02br
00There is an MP3 file with 8 different sentences read by 8 people with different nationality and accent. I was wondering where probably they come from and what is there accent. 02br
02br
00Please someone who is familiar with these accents specifies the speaker’s nationality and accent. Pleas be SPECIFIC (e.g. don’t say only he is American, pleas determine which city or state or area…fore example south east England or Boston). 02br
02br
00Lots of thanks in advance! 02br
02br
00Because I was not able to upload the MP3 file here I put it in another forum, so if you are intrested in helpping please check out the link below or kindly email me then I will happily send you the whole MP3 file as an attachment. 02br

00I can't hear the recordings of course (so please post them as an attachment on this forum), but I doubt anyone will be able to pinpoint someone to the city, unless they have a noticible east coast accent.

0 Here goes the files. Because the original file was too big to be downloaded here I splitted it to seven Zip files (i.e. a primary file and 6 other parts).

Thanks in advance. 0-

Hey LoneM,
I don't think anyone will take a look at this old thread, you'd better open a new "neat" one and ask the mods to remove this

They sound like someone 'doing accents' rather than native speakers of those accents. They are:

First one not numbered: American but not sure of region (could also be Canadian as I can't tell the difference, sorry).

1 New York

2 London/south East England

3 West African but not sure of region (possibly Ghanian)

4 Irish but not sure of region

Hi there,

Thank your for your reply Nona.
