Accents in Learning English (Gareth's Tips)

http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-do-accents

Here is a valuable link to Gareth, an actor and voice analyst in London (apparently), who provides advice on accents. I was directed to this site for St Patrick's Day as a tool for picking up an Irish accent. Of course, aping or mimicking someone's accent can be meanspirited and even offensive. But if students want to improve their spoken English, this collection of accent clips is well worth a visit.
