English From Around the World

Last year I shared a video on what English sounds like to foreigners. Now for the opposite. The Speech Accent Archive recorded speech samples from people all over the world reading the same paragraph. At first I thought I would just use it to improve my characters on stage, but I've mostly been playing the "guess this place" game with my wife. Here's some to try out: Australia, China, Brazil, Sudan, and Texas.
