Ok, I know in our last class we talked about certain accents in English. It seemed like a lot of us had fun while listening to accents and the differences among them, so here are a couple of videos that I've found online, they are pretty funny. So, check 'em out ! ;)
This is also very good listening practice especially for the EFL majors. Try to listen to these accents a few times so
next time you watch news or a movie, you will be able to tell differences among foreign and local accents. And eventually, with time, you will name the accents like a boss ! :)
So far so good ?? If you get this video with the comedian to your right, you are already making progress ;)
Can you actually imitate some of the accents that you've heard? Me and my roommates are doing it right now...its good fun :)

ReplyDeleteHaha, I found them very funny and imitating these accents raises my enthusiasm towards learning and using English :)
ReplyDeletethanks Bertan I totally think so ))
ReplyDeleteGreat videos. The Italian Man who went to Malta is classic. I wonder if any teacher has ever used this in class? The 'I would like a hamburger' is probably more usable in many contexts, but again, I don't know of any teacher who has used this with students. It would be neat to come up with a simple lesson plan.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you embedding media, and using layout options to put text to the left or right.
I'm trying to make friends with technology )))
ReplyDeleteahaha Lol i really enjoy thanks :) they are so funny :)
ReplyDeleteheheh. These videos are very enjoyful. I find them funny. I think they include a message which is importance of pronunciation. Poor the man in the first video heheh:). He returned back because of his pronunciation or accent:)
