"Strange " English language.. [264]
How strong is this accent?
Quite strong. Very villagey from East Anglia.
It sounds very odd like I never know what vowel is going to actually appear in a word
I found the same.
she's very easy for me to understand
Some would say it's a very pure form of English there. Odd to me though; she sounds almost Aussie sometimes. Worth mentyioning that her region is where a lot of the early settlers to New England came from and the East Anglia accent has had some influence on modern AmEng.
What do you think about these two. The first is from my home town, from the 'urban' part. He's actually a teacher from a cultured family who's hamming the accent up:

And she's from down the road, from a mining community where the accent is strong, a bit like mine once was. I never thought I'd like a 'punk poet' until I heard her stuff:

BTW, my own accent is somewhere between the two, or was until I went away to a 'posh' university and it softened a bit.
