Hello and welcome to the accent bank by Sarah Valentine. My name is Laura Jean and I was born in West Virginia and I am proud to come from a small town called Naomi in the South. And this is my natural accent. Five things that are typical from where I'm from is if someone says, how are you? We say, I'm fair to Midland. If you really want something, you say, I have a hankering for pizza or I'm Jonesen for a pizza. If someone says, hey, do you want to go out? You might say, I reckon. If someone says, hey, do you think you might be able to do this for me? You say, I might could. And if you are getting ready to do something, you say, I'm fixing to make you a pizza. Now I'm going to read the following sentences and I'm starting with this tongue twister. Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers. A pack of pickled peppers. Peter Piper picked. These sell seashells on the seashore. I have parked in my car near the garage. If you're looking for it, it's a blue Nissan. The sun is so hot today. I love summer. I like to go walking on the beach, but I also love it when it rains and I'm inside and I can hear it on the tin roof. We have tin roofs here. I have a tin roof. Would you like a glass of water? For breakfast, I would love a coffee and could you, could I please have some eggs, two pieces of toast and some mushrooms? I love to eat bananas. All pop-offs. We have pop-offs here.
