It's been a couple of years.
Yes, but it was a lot of fun that time.
And I know it'll be a lot of fun this time, too.
It's been years.
I guess sometimes the minutes are slow.
Well, thank you.
I'm so happy to be here.
Absolutely.
So this book is called Why We Talk Funny, The Real Story Behind Our Accents.
And it's all about accents.
And its goal is really to help people understand how they came to have the accents they have.
Like what's the science and the history behind all the accents that we have, whether it's a different native accent or a second language accent.
And by understanding what causes accents,
We can really help ourselves both accept that an accent is a beautiful thing and then also be more efficient and effective at working on the things that will help us be better understood.
Oh, absolutely.
In fact, in the book, I talk about what my favorite one is.
Honestly, what's yours?
Well, mine is actually Australian.
So I love them all.
I do too.
