| Accent Listening Gallery | |
The "Accent Listening Gallery" is a collection of various site introductions by About.com guides. The unique structure of About.com gives students and teachers of English access to an extremely wide variety of accents. Each listening selection is accompanied by a short quiz and a description of the guide's accent, as well as interesting links to the guide's About.com site.
The selections are short - usually around 40 seconds to one minute - and are sure to be challenging.
