I love listening to different accents. There are not that many here, Aussies sound more or less the same though people from Tasmania sound a bit more English to my ears. I do miss all the accents I used to hear in the UK, though. I have a friend from Yorkshire and my Mum was from there originally so I tend to echo her voice when I’m talking to her, just slip into it so to speak. The Scots we know tend to keep their lovely accents, particularly the Glaswegians.
I like trying to identify countries of origin via accents, fascinating and there are a lot amongst first generation migrants. Does anyone else have this obsession ?
Accents - a privilege to hear them
