We want to recommend a website about how different English language can sound all around Britain. In this site you can listen to 76 sound recordings and over 600 short audio clips including different accents as well as gramatical, phonological and even social variations.
Here you can compare how a word like "bath" can be pronounced in different ways depending on the region the speaker comes from.
You can also find out that the use of some consonants in pronounciation is more likely in upper or lower social classes.
Even grammar may be different as you move around the country (for example you can hear "I were" in Cambridgeshire or "You was" in Cornwall).
You only need to click the following link to find out more.
