Accents!
I’ll admit it; so often I rely on how people sound in tv shows/films to determine how a character speaks; all Californians sound like Elle Woods and everyone from the South has a drawl, right? Maybe not.
When it comes to accents outside of my own little corner of the world, I’m hopelessly lost and I know the exasperation at watching shows and having everyone either have perfect Received Pronunciation or Dick Van Dyke Cockney Mockney accents but I’ve found the following links so, so helpful and hope they help others.

→ International Dialects of English Archive ; super dupy handy website featuring real people accents from around the world.

→ BBC Voices ; great for localised vernacular

As someone currently studying sociolinguistics, this is an AMAZING find, thank you so much!
