Guess the Accent

Okay, this is a fun game courtesy MegDesk.  Basically you watch a video of people speaking English and then you have to guess which country you think they are from.  You need to have sound (obviously) and it takes a little while to complete because there are 16 of them.

I got 7 correct and a total of 29 points.  Like Meg, I will post a comment with spoilers, so don’t read that until you’ve taken the test!

  1. Arg, I can’t believe I missed Chicago! Of all places! I think I guessed South African. There was just something about the way she talked that threw me off. I’ve only known one South African and the only thing I could think of that he said funny was “lauf” (laugh).

    I did pretty good on guessing the American cities and I got some bonus points for accidentally guessing Perth correctly. I had no idea about Australian accents by city, so that was a lucky guess. I’m counting it though because I knew the one was German but at the last second convinced myself otherwise. Also, there should be points for getting close, for example, picking Portugal when it should have been Spain!
