Here's an interesting website I stumbled on that has an audio database of accents of different kinds of people speaking English:
Listening to a lot of different accents from around the world really brought back many memories from my travels, particularly the Japanese voices.
The archive is constructed as a teaching tool and as a research tool. It is meant to be used by linguists as well as other people who simply wish to listen to and compare the accents of different English speakers.
It was only after playing around with it for a bit that I noticed it is a GMU website. More good stuff coming out of Mason!
Check it out! It's a great idea and pretty cool...
