171. Don't Rush The Harvest

Once you’ve experienced the novelty and thrill of traveling to a foreign country, it’s easy to think that your life back home could never be truly fulfilling or meaningful due to its monotany and predictability.

The Valley Girl accent is a style of speaking associated with young women from California's San Fernando Valley (Northern suburbs of Los Angeles) in the 1970s and 1980s. It became famous through movies, TV shows, and pop culture, and many people now use "Valley Girl" to describe both an accent and a speaking style.As you know, it can be extremely useful to focus on one dialect/accent of a foreign language when trying to learn how to sound like a native speaker. In fact, this is something I highly encourage. — All I ask, however, is that when you’re learning to speak English, you don’t chose this one.If you want to listen to this show without interruptions from advertisers, subscribe to my patreon 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioTimestamps:0:00 The Valley Girl accent0:47 Episode intro3:00 Speech analysis15:42 More examples25:18 Final thoughtsLink to the videos used in this episode:Clip #1 - https://www.tiktok.com/@michellee_lim/video/7341510309045292334Clip #2 - https://www.tiktok.com/@caitlyngiannini/video/7625812183267527950?q=valley girl accent&t=1780262046661Clip #3 - https://www.tiktok.com/@alexisoakleyy/video/7403136243799756075?q=valley girl accent&t=1780262046661Clip #4 - https://www.tiktok.com/@elizapearl0/video/7094073907539397931?q=valley girl accent&t=1780262046661Clip #5 - tiktok.com/@itsamyareias/video/7283559075987017006 Hosted on Acast.
