Have you ever thought that there was only ONE British accent (and then wished you had it)?
If so, you're in for a brilliant awakening. In this short from Anglophenia, Siobhan Thompson corrects this common misconception with a demonstration of 17 different British accents.
This isn't the first time we've highlighted the diverse array of accents across the pond, but Thompson's narration is witty and watch-worthy -- plus her celebrity impersonations are spot on (spoiler alert: a slew of Downton Abbey characters may be involved).
And if this video inspires you to improve your accents, BBC America has some tips.
