English accent around the world.

Hello my dear EC teachers and friends.We are all here in EC not only to practice and learn English, but to know other's cultures, festivals and many more. We talk to people around the world over skype and other VOIP.

Here I want you to share with me collecting some English accents  from many different countries.So please take a few minutes for this and record your voice here.

Hope to see more and more accents from all over the world.


 

 

 

What we can record ? So, let's tell something about ourselves or choose something  to read and record it.

 

 

Record about yourself or you can record this:

 

                                               Language is all around You

Everywhere you go you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices on buses and trains... Even if you are not in an English-speaking country, there are often a lot of English words you can see when walking in the street, especially in big cities. And there are always numbers. Car numbers, telephone numbers, house numbers... How can this help you? When you walk down the street, practise reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It's not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to "think" in English. For example, if you walk along a line of parked cars, say the number on each car quickly as you pass it. Test yourself, to see how fast you can walk and still say each number. But don't speak too loud!

  • Hi Rajesh..!

     

    Thank you very much for your invitation to participate in an “interesting exchange” yet again.

     

    You are well aware that I’m a MalaysianIndian’ and my mother tongue is ‘Tamil’. Malaysia is well known for its rich diversity: interesting ethnics, fascinating festivals, mouth-watering local cuisines and of course not forgetting our trademark *Manglish* which we, all Malaysians, are delighted with.

     

    In some senses each country has its own “pidgin”, if I’m not mistaken. The ‘term’ used to call such an accent is usually coined from two words – the name of the Local Language + English. This is how exactly we got our *Manglish* [Malaysian + English] :-)

     

    Here are a few other names of unique ‘creoles’ known to me:

    Chinglish  –  China + English

    Janglish    –  Japan + English 

    Koringlish –  Korea + English

    Singlish    –   Singapore + English

    Tanglish   –  Tamil + English  (சென்னைத் தமிழ், சரியா?)   

              and finally...

    Garinglish     –  Gabriel + English (my identity) 

     

    Rajesh, you can listen to my voice/accent from this audio file at Tara’s Audio Speaking Group which I embedded only yesterday.

     

    A Note of Caution:

    You may find my pronunciation a little ‘weird’ in reference to American English. I converse with a “broad accent” which is known as “RP” (Received Pronunciation) – a General British Accent that shows no regional variation.

    For your info, I’m a self-taught freelancer teaching essential “Phonetics” who has never been out of the Malaysian shores. Thus, please don’t expect anything exceptional!

     

    Well Rajesh, be prepared for the worst nightmare you’ve ever experienced! I really feel sorry for you, என் இனிய நண்பா…!

     

    Here’s the link! Don’t be afraid, just click it Rajesh: Be a Newscaster

    Enjoy…!

  • Thanks for posting another interesting blog Rajesh. This would be an awesome challenge to all learners. Have you watched a comedy series titled Outsourced? I like the Indian accents of the actors there portraying as call center agents based in Mumbai. Although it's a comedy, I think, there's still a moral story on each episode. Well, got a chance to learn about your culture too. Have a nice day! : )
  • Thanks Jasmine for you comment. Oh, I can see your..it's ok, hope you can soon...

    Thanks my friend Sono, nice to see your comment here...but what about your voice post ?
