English Corner 弋果新鮮事

今天弋果新鮮事要跟大家分享的是: 英語的口音! Today we'll be discussing accents! There is often a demand in Taiwan for a particular accent. 很多家長都會要求自己的孩子學習英文時學, 特別注意英國或是美國的口音(British or American)。In fact, there are so many different British accents even just inside of the UK. 即使是在英國國內本身就有好多種不同的英國口音，所以外國人覺得學英文只要可以溝通就是好，跟口音比較沒有關係。Expose your child to a multitude of accents. 讓小孩接觸多種不同的口音是好事，如果有機會讓不同的外教教課是很幸運的，同時可以認識不同的文化，對他們習慣不同英文口音來說也有幫助，甚至可以練習分辨不同國家或地區的口音。(For more about this topic, please listen to the show.)
