Fun Thing The Accent Quiz
Since many of us are podcasting and recording our voices, I thought this would be of interest. Child_Lit has been discussing and laughing about accents and pronunciation, so I thought I'd share the "quiz" and the analysis of my voice. Although I grew up in New England, I spent 11 years in the Tennessee and Virginia, and 18 in Texas. Many people can't identify the origination of my accent, and they'll often say Chicago. I don't call soda "pop", but I have to really concentrate to enunciate a middle T, like in "cotton" or "mitten", and that is a Boston trait. I only lived there 3 years.

This was great. Thank you for sharing. I bookmarked this. I think some of my teachers will enjoy the site. I plan to put the link in my newsletter.
Glad you enjoyed it. I don't know how reliable it is but it is fun.
