It was a pleasure. Thanks to all the students who helped us by taking part in the research!

It was great to have the Accent Van on campus recently. Huge thanks to @VoicesMcr for visiting us and exploring accents and dialects with our English Language students.

"This is my voice, not your voice, so if you got a problem with my voice...I don't know, go to therapy or something!"

Another nice write up of the project in @SalfordNow Salford Now:

"Our accent is a kind of fingerprint of various aspects of our identity; it tells a story about where we’re from."

A nice write-up of the project in @MENnewsdesk. But to be clear, we didn’t come up with the dialect regions, they emerged from what people in GM told us 😁😁 If you disagree, share your own voice at http://manchestervoices.org! https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manc-lancashire-posh-wigan-researchers-21940048
