Onset of the accent

The girls made a couple of videos this afternoon for their classes in the US.  For me, this is a fun record of how their accents are changing.  All three girls adopt varying degrees of UK accents when talking with peers or adults over here.  These video messages to their American friends show how the accent is becoming increasingly subconscious.  We shall see (or hear) how they converse when we make our trip to the US in late July.

Here's Elise (who steadfastly insists that her UK accent is put on, but shows a decidedly UK cadence here).


Charis (like the video, her accent is consistently a hybrid)


and Clare
