Dialects, Dialect, Dialects

Hi everyone,
We've been talking about the existence of numerous dialects and that it is possible for very different dialects to co-exist in villages that are very close to each other.

Please have a look at the website:

Believe me: You're going to be simply amazed with the immense variety of forms you'll find!

And this one for some help with pronunciation:

You'll find recordings where a woman utters the different sounds, and descriptions in order to produce the sounds yourselves!!
Enjoy
Patricia
