Accents/Dialects

Where can I find out how to speak with a foreign accent?

I think it would be neat to talk like a brit one day.



Google/Yahoo didn't help

Yeah, just hang out around ppl that have the accent you want to mimick. Ask them to listen to your interpretation and offer suggestions/tell you that you suck/help you/etc.

Calling someone an idiot now? Watch yourself Skilo.

I can only imagine why you want to talk with an accent. To most Brits, you already do talk with an accent...

It is all a matter of perception!

Yeah, I know.

It's an endless cycle of "accents".

It's always intriguing to imagine what your accent sounds like to someone else. I 'm from NH, but spent a year and half in Lousiana. Near the end of the time, I received a video tape of my nephew's birthday party. I was amazed that I could now hear the NH accent, thick as all hell no less. I couldn't believe I ever spoke like that. Then of course I moved back and that's how I talk again, I can barely hear the accent around me anymore.
