Are you pronouncing 'caramel' wrong? | ACCENTS (ft. Valerie Fridland)

Why do Americans and Brits have the accents they have? Sociolinguist, professor and author Valerie Fridland joins Rob and Jess this week to discuss why we talk funny.

🍮 Does 'caramel' have one or two syllables?
🪶 Do Americans sound more like Shakespeare than Brits?
🎩 Why do some accents sound 'posher' than others?

These questions answered, an many more, in another gloriously nerdy episode of Words Unravelled.
