It\u2019s a fact! The UK is obsessed with the way people talk. And with more than thirty seven dialects<\/a>, it\u2019s no surprise why. That\u2019s right, accents and dialects* vary greatly across Great Britain, and there is no such thing as a single \u2018British accent\u2019. Instead it\u2019s an amalgamation<\/strong><\/em><\/span> of different ones that have been shaped by history, and made iconic through TV and film.<\/p>\n

So with all that being said, are you ready? Let\u2019s start with a quick tour of the UK to quickly summarise some of the key differences.<\/p>\n
