“Please call Stella” - English 6 from Speech Accent Archive
On this fascinating site, people from all over the world read the following in their native accent:
Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.
I like that in this recording (read by a lady I’m calling Donna Stagliatuglio) they just leave in the misreading and stutter, as if that contributes to the dialect.
