Sounds familiar?

Haps you'd like to record yourself having a blether with a friend?

The hugely popular Sounds Familiar website, supporting A-Level English Language accent and dialect study, makes it possible to explore the vocabulary, grammar and sounds of spoken English.

UK schools can upload their own voice recordings to the site to create a living archive of contemporary speech, while case studies on Received Pronunciation, Geordie dialect and minority ethnic English allow close academic analysis of the diverse voices of the UK.
