And this is the link to my accent challenge. And as someone who is not a Native English speaker, of course this was such a big challenge for me. I have to write a draft so I didn't butcher the pronunciation or ended up rambling. But well, it was fun! Not to mention I have listened some of the fellows did it and their accents are so lovely (too bad that the thread is restricted to site members only, but let me figure it out if I could share some of them here)
Hope you're enjoying my accent challenge!
