ABOUT THE VIDEO
In this video I chat with Renne from @WelcomeToMyCurls about the similarities and differences between Southern and Californian English. Even though we are from the same country and we are both native English speakers from the US, we sound quite different when we speak and even use different words and expressions. This is something that happens all over the US, and in every country! There are many ways to speak English, and listening to different kinds of English speakers will help train your ears to understand different accents easily. I hope you enjoy this conversation and learn something new! :)
