For British People or Experts .. !

Well Yasser, if you want to learn how to add non-existant syllables to English words, I'd highly recommend a visit to the southern US states, creating an accent with a charm all its' own. A bit like the charm of Southern Comfort after they'd devised a new use for peaches in Georgia. Their renown southern hospitality comes in many flavours.

How many English accents? I'd say hundreds.

If you did visit the US, you'd have the additional work of having to learn another vocabulary in addition to what you might learn over here. For a simple example, American's use the word "candy" for our "sweets", though candy has it's origins in Persia from "qand" meaning sugar, it's main ingredient, and came to England as candy in the early 1400s, but when we stopped using it, Americans continued with it, as today.

When you asked how many accents here. I think you also meant to include that as dialects too, and in the US, it is almost certainly more of than what we have here due to the vast number of nationalities of immigrants over the centuries moving there.

Good points Paul. I don't think Yosser needs to visit the USA Paul, do you Yessar? I have a sneaking suspicion you know America very well.

Some weird stuff going on on this forum. What's with the above post? No name, no avatar, different time stamp. Joined in 1970 when I'm quite sure Yasser wasn't even a sparkle in anyone's eye. 

Come on POE, fess up.

Hi Yasser:

I think you're real and your English is quite good.  Here's a little something for you to work on:

When I saw the tear in the fabric, I shed a tear. He wound the bandage around the wound. The hiker chose to desert his dessert in the desert. Since there is no time like the present, you may present the present.  We must subject the subject to a series of tests. We park in driveways and drive on parkways.Have you read the book yet?  No, I'm planning to read it this weekend.

Good luck with your English studies!
