Accents

In much the same way that I sometimes don't notice or don't recognize different American accents, Americans don't have a clue about the different British accents.  Even worse, most of the people I work with don't have English as their first language - so even struggle with distinguishing my accent from an American one.  I'm never going to develop an American accent, though my vocabulary has definitely become Americanized.  But when teaching some friends about different British accents, my go to is to tell them to look up British comedy clips from the 90's.  For example, "Scousers" "Calm Down".  Classic.
