Most of these Native Speaker recordings are made "in the field" so you will hear such things as birds, cars or other people in the background. A transcription of the conversations is included to help you follow along. In addition to a conversation, most speakers also read a list of words and The Rainbow Passage.
About these materials
Newcastle Geordie Accent Learning Materials
- The Newcastle Geordie accent materials include recordings of Accent Help coach Jim Johnson guiding you through learning the accent, along with a native Newcastle female voice for the example words and the practice sentences. Jim will also lead you through a monologue in this accent, which you will hear in his voice and the female native speaker voice.
- There are also recordings of other native speakers reading and in conversation, and you'll be able to follow along with transcripts of these conversations.
- You'll get immediate access to the audio and written materials, plus a PDF "cheat sheet" for learning the accent.
- This accent is appropriate for productions of Billy Elliot, and is what you'll hear from Ant & Dec on Britain's Got Talent. It's the accent of Newcastle upon Tyne - which is commonly called Geordie - and there are also some native speaker examples from some of the country around Newcastle.
- You'll have instant access to the materials on your computer, tablet, and phone.
- You'll also get future updates for free!
