Different Accents part one Okay I got bored. Here you go! English contains many different accents! Words are pronounced differently all over the word. How is it that everyone who speaks English sounds different? Well let's go through the different places that speak English. Wait there are over 50 countries that speak English? Then you picked a great language to learn. The major countries that use English are United States, Ireland, Australia, United Kingdom, and Scotland. I chose five very different accents. From foreign speakers United Kingdom speakers sound like they say "swah" a lot. They stretch their intonation with a lot in making their "a" and "I" taller. English sounds very different throughout their country. I would suggest watching this video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dABo_DCIdpM . Moving forward, Ireland and Scotland are very different with their accents also. A great Irish polyglot can demonstrate his accent in his multilanguage video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FY1b513hIto . Here's Scottish from the movie trainspotting, ironically this guy is not scottish in reallife but his accent is very well done there are some bad words in this one so be warned http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G1tJJO_pVvQ . Australia-(look up Steve irwin.) I tried to make more room for United States! Alright I can specifically tell you about the areas of the United States where the accents change. I will use this quotation throughout the explanation of accents in USA.."I walked my dog while calling my mom about the ball I caught in the park." (Yes a weird sentence)I will write out how they pronounce the sentence in the areas. Around New York to about Pennsylvania from east to west: "I wauked my dwaug while cwauling my mahm about the bwaull I cwaught in the paurk. " In Boston, Massachusetts:"I wakd ma dag while cahllin my mahm abaht the bahl I caht in tha pahk" Carolinas: "I waughked mah dawg while cahlin mah mom about the baul I caught in the parrrrk" Florida:they say flaurida when pronouncing Florida. Ohio, Indiana,eastern Missouri: I walked my dog while calling my mom about the ball I caught in the park." They pronounce it how it is written but they will say" warsh" aside from wash but that is mainly in the older generation. Kansas,Oklahoma, western Missouri, Nebraska- "I walked my dog while calling my mom about the ball I cot in the park" ( we pronounce cot,caught the same and don, dawn the same.) This is part one for more look at part two
