A celebration of accents and dialects!

Do you speak English with an accent? If so, there's a party and you're invited! Well. I lied. It's not really a party, but it's pretty neat nevertheless. It's a showcase of all the different ways people speak English - from Ireland to South Africa! Feel free to "donate" a recording of your accent to the online collection here:

(Oh and if you've never heard of this website before, you don't know what you're missing. They have hundreds of thousands of free Project Gutenberg audio-books recorded by volunteers and it's all completely free. Did I mention that it's free? As in, legally free? You don't see THAT very often. Yay for free stuff!)
