In relation to the Norwich accent, yesterday We were walking around Norwich. We met a man who told us that the people of Norwich have a "farmer's accent or a country one". After speaking to him I believed that was really true. But other classmates told us that they had been speaking to a gang of teenagers and they haven't any problems. They understand them very well. However, another mate said to me that they speak fast and miss out words speaking. All in all, I think that We can undestand them well.
The place names are Happisburgh, a Norkfold seaside town, Wymoudham, a small town near Norwich an Costessey, a suburb of Norwich.

Thanks Conchi. I'm glad you seem to be coping with the Norwich accent! What did you notice about the pronunciation of the Norfolk place names?
ReplyDeleteA couple of times you started the word 'we' with a capital letter in the middle of a sentence. Perhaps just a typo. It is only spelt with a capital W at the beginning of a sentence ... or by the Queen, who refers to herself as 'We' !!
