Hi,

I am writing on a term paper covering the prestige of different accents of English in England. That is, what do people think about American, Canadian, Australien, ... English. I created a tiny website and need users from England to participate. It only takes 1 minute to vote and you don't have to provide your real name or email address.

Based on a short sound example (flash player required), you decide how intelligent, prestigious and pleasant the speaker sounds to you. You'll be asked in what type of house you expect him to live in and what job you think he has. That's it.

If you're a native speaker from England, I would appreciate your help. Click on

to participate.

Thank you very much in advance

I live in England but I am not a native speaker so did not do it.
However there is no problem with determining the accent and forming a view of the speaker.
