ENGLISH ACCENTS
English is one of the most widely spoken native languages and if you consider the number of people who speak it, both native and non-native, it is undoubtedly the language understood by more people on the planet (and in orbit). Moreover, English is the official language not only of several countries and states but also of multiple international organizations and institutions. Its reach explains why there are so many accents and varieties of English, from the better-known ones like British or American English, to perhaps more colorful or difficult to understand ones like Irish and Scottish accents, or hinglish and Spanglish.
In the ABA English course, you will be exposed to many accents from day one. Step by step you will prepare yourself to understand anyone who speaks English.
ENGLISH ACCENTS
The English language originated in the British Isles and from the beginning was in contact with and influenced by the languages of the peoples who inhabited those lands. After evolving for several centuries, with the consolidation and expansion of the British Empire, modern English spread throughout the world receiving new influences that have caused it to evolve into different local variants.
The first thing that comes to mind is the difference between British English and American English, but distinctive features are also found in the Australian, Canadian, or South African accents, or even typical city accents like London, Boston, or Edinburgh.
Although English has become the lingua franca and will allow you to communicate with a large part of the world’s inhabitants, when traveling or doing business it is very important to know the particularities of the accent your interlocutors will speak to ensure clear, fluent communication and, above all, without misunderstandings.
ABA English offers you the tools you need to train your English to communicate with English speakers regardless of their accent. Our ABA Films, short films shot in cinema quality, feature actors who speak different English accents and our teachers are native speakers from different parts of the world.
