Original Speaker English Dialect Audio Files (not fake dialects) with transcripts link
|
|
I don �t really know if this has been posted before, I found it while researching for a lesson on how to understand English accents. It has some excellent recordings in different accents (original speakers, not fake accents) and transcripts to go with them. The files are free to use in the classroom, you just can �t distribute them.

Many thanks, Douglas, for this link. I �ve always wanted to compile a tape of some of my friends back in England who have various accents but never got round to it.
Have a nice day!

You may also want to check out the following sites:
Eva Easton�s Authentic American Pronunciation (uses RealPlayer & Flash)
TalkBank - so much here to explore!
Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE)
- this link takes you to the story of �Arthur the Rat�, a downloadable
sound file & a transcript (on the page) of a story read by 10-
different Americans. I used this with my Junior High School students to
share some accent variations with them!
English Speakers Around the World - a collection of some great audio files. It includes �Arthur the Rat� by more than just Americans!
Sounds Familiar - a wonderful collection from the British Library and very user friendly! This is another site I introduced to my students.
English Pronunciation Tip of the Day - a useful site with a lot of tips in the archive.
Strine
- an interesting site about Australia. It has some great info on
cultural differences too! Explore the site if you�re interested in
Australia. One word of warning though - the authors make a lot of
generalisations, so always look for a second opinion (i.e. don�t use
this as your only source of information!) if you�re going to study
Australia in your class!
World English - just click a flag to hear a sample. There are also a lot of other interesting links here too!
Cheers,
