Single Dialect or Accent Booklets/CDs & eBooks
If you are studying several accents and dialects, buying one of Paul's two larger books will save you over 60%; Accents & Dialects for Stage and Screen contains all 24 of the single accents and dialects listed on this page, while Dialects of the British Isles contains all nine British and Irish dialects. But if you're studying only one or two accents or dialects, our booklets and eBooks are the cost-effective choice.
