Great test of your ear for another language, I scored 30, which I think is about 50%
really interesting though.

This thing is full of crap. There was one lady from Chicago. I am a Chicago lifer and never in my life have hears a true Chicagoan speak like that.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

I feel the same about the guy from Birmingham UK - the Brummie (Birmingham) accent is one hell of a lot more pronounced than that...in fact he didn't really have much of an accent at all!

I must admit her accent wasnt what i would have expected either. Also that south african lady had the mildest accent ive ever heard from a south african, maybe they used subtle accents to fool us. Yeah im hurting after visiting some 35 odd countries i only scored 23:(

Also not even an aussie can tell what part of the country another aussie is from. We all sound the same which has always puzzled me considering the isolation between cities etc.

I scored a dismal 21, funny because I can usually do much better in conversation. I live in a tourist town, the lady from Indy has some strong southern roots, I never heard anyone from Chicago sound like that either. Too short a blurb in my opinion.
