21 Accents



Hi all!

This week has really been hard as we had a timed writing task. Now it is time to explore a little bit more about how English is spoken.

Many of you sometimes ask  me the differences between accents and how words are pronounced. This video  is an example of different accents and differences between them. Can you watch the video and leave your comments answering the following questions:

1- Which of the accents are more understandable? Why?
2-Which of them are very difficult to understand? Why?

I wish you a fantastic weekend! See you all on Tuesday.
