Hi Sean,

Here is my contribution to the lesson on accents. Browsing on Youtube, I found some interesting videos on posh RP accent and Cockney accent, all y the same actor. The one on Cockney is really funny:

Plus, I found this video on advanced British Pronunciation shot by the same actor... Just take a look at the final exercise the actor wants us to make... CRAZY!!!!!
