Not only does this familiarization helps you to know where the people you are speaking to come form, but also it helps you understand them better if you know the variation in pronunciation and accent. There is an MP3 file with 8 different sentences read by 8 people with different nationality and accent. I was wondering where probably they come from and what is there accent. Please someone who is familiar with these accents specifies the speaker’s nationality and accent. Pleas be SPECIFIC (e.g. don’t say only he is American, pleas determine which city or state or area…fore example south east England or Boston). Lots of thanks in advance! Because I was not able to upload the MP3 file here I put it in another forum, so if you are intrested in helpping please check out the link below or kindly email me then I will happily send you the whole MP3 file as an attachment. http://www.urch.com/forums/english/69140-diffrent-english-accents-nice-mp3-file.html#post454914 Here are the sentences: 1. She’s a writer of romantic novels 2. Read about it in news papers. 3. She went to hospital because she had heart problems. 4. We watched TV and then went to bed. 5. I want to thank you for your help. 6. They were jailed for robbing this bank. 7. With a bit of luck, we’ll win this game. 8. Can you hold the umbrella when I get my keys out?

	Lonelymelody  +  369851 Thu, 24 May 07 05:04 PM Here goes the files. Because the original file was too big to be downloaded here I splitted it to seven Zip files (i.e. a primary file and 6 other parts). The primary file is uploaded in this post and the other 6 parts are uploaded in the 6 other replies below. Just download them all in the same folder and then unzipped them using WINZIP. Thanks in advance. Lonelymelody Joined on Tue, May 22 2007 New Member 25 Accents
