							| Accents of English 
 |  
							| To those of you who want to hear authentic accents of English spoken in the United Kingdom, (as opposed to imitators of accents on video), here is a website of the British Library, showing a map of each area of the UK, with audio recordings and script of normal speech in that area.  Choose your favourite area.   Les |  20 Oct 2010

							| Wow! Thank you! Very interesting! People abroad think there is a standard British pronunciation in the Uk all over the country,  �The Brits pronounce it like that.... �, etc...in fact the picture is very different! Thanks for the thread, it �s very demonstrative. |  20 Oct 2010
