How Good Is Your Ear?

Can You Guess Where My Accent Is From? is a web-based quiz from the Language Trainers Group based on international accents. Each participant reads a couple of lines from Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" in English. Then you--the viewer/listener--are offered six options from which to choose. If you correctly identify the speaker's country of origin, then you get a chance for bonus points by narrowing your guess to the city of origin.

It's harder than you'd think, and we performed abysmally on it . . . but we had a good time doing so!
