Dobry,
Are those British teachers from Liverpool or Birmingham or something? In some areas the accents are thick. What ever happened to Brits with a BBC accent?
DDT, since you're an Australian... Could you tell me some most distinct things between Australian and British 'BBC' English. I'm curious because my sister said that she understands BBC radio very well but almost nothing of any Asutralian radio. I don't have a possibility to compare no, that's why I'm asking.
