So you are an English speaker, right? Then you know different countries speak this language differently, just like any other language spoken and influenced by different groups of people in different places.
The Speech Accent Archive (click here) is the website that uniformly presents a large set of speech samples from a variety of language backgrounds. Native and non-native speakers of English read the same paragraph and are carefully transcribed. The archive is used by people who wish to compare and analyze the accents of different English speakers.
This is an amazing tool that was introduced by my great friend Mariana Hungria. It is surely a nice resource to work and show students in class.
