R&R 22: English Accent – Missing England
English Conversation Real & Relevant Podcast 22
Two English teachers with two types of English accent.
Melissa is back in the pod and talks about the things that she has been missing while she has been teaching abroad. Melissa has a received pronunciation accent and speaks very clearly. Listen to her clear English pronunciation and then in tomorrow’s blog we will examine her speech patterns, so that you can try and improve your accent when you are speaking English so that you sound more natural.
By the way, we didn’t prepare anything before we made this podcast, which means that this is real English as it is spoken in 2012. This is not actors reading from a script.
