The following is an unedited, stream-of-consciousness personal journal used to experiment with different subjects outside of assignments and to practice free-writing. It shouldn't (at all) be viewed as a portfolio of polished work.

The Dialect Project



Say what?

This little project invites fellow bloggers to upload a recording of the way they speak, showcasing similarities and differences between our dialects worldwide.

Want to participate? I'd love to hear how you sound!
1. Get the list of questions here: Dialect Directions
2. Record yourself!
3. Post to your blog or site
4. Come back here and link to your recording!

    I'm not sure I want to take a video of myself, but I love to see everyone else's :)

    Well, considering I had never heard of this til I moved to Utah, I pretty much picked up the lingo from here. And I think I made a mistake... I think they call it TPing out here.

    What Shannon said! Too neat, found myself comparing how we sound (I say aunt the same for example).
