Website of the week

OK, maybe just website of the day, but possibly of the year! I just came across this one by watching Tekzilla, a techie video podcast by revision3.com. Yes, geeky, but what fun! You go to this site and you can hear speakers of English from many different backgrounds read the same paragraph. I am notoriously unable to mimic accents (except perhaps my very limited imitation of “that’s not a knife, this is a knife” in my best fake Australian) and maybe I will learn something there.
