Hi Torsten
There is present in any language accents that get a lot of stick (criticism) for whatever negative associations. In England it is Scouse, Geordie and Manc from native and non native speakers. The latter it is said because they do not open their mouth so much.
Was interesting that after a weekend in Liverpool, my students found the Scouse accent intriguing.
Personally I like accents as they are distinct and challenging. And I still do not get why German people do not like the Saxon or Swabian accent. They have distinct characteristics that are really great. _________________ Please meet Stewart Tunncilff |

Hi Mona
Is it Manc only or just general Northern?
What is your take? (opinion)
on "U" in pub and bus Pab and Bas by Southern English, and Purb and Burs with a soft "r" by Northerners. _________________ Please meet Stewart Tunncilff |
