An adjunct to the recent topic about English...
http://classweb.gmu.edu/accent/

This is an amazing online speech accent archive of how people from many cultural, ethnic and national backgrounds sound when speaking English. Over 200 different speech samples are available, and I believe contibutors are welcome.

Understanding is helped when we share common values, and values are taught via common languages -- so here's to exploration and understanding!

(plus, acquiring a sexy Eastern European accent wouldn't hurt, either )
