Picking up the accent

Have you ever thought how Spanish sounds to English speakers? How does a French person sound to you ? And German? Have you ever tried to imitate accents?

Picking up the accent is so important ... !!

Watch the video and see what you think ....

Elllo.org - English Language Listening Library

Todd Beuckens has created this site with more than 1000 listening activities with accents from all over the world, including videos, interviews, news, songs, talking points, listening games, etc. with comprehension exercises, quizzes, and lots of different activities.

I learnt about it thanks to the blog "Enjoy Learning English " , which I usually follow. I must say that the site I´m talking about is one of the best I´ve seen on the web.

Everything is ready to use !
