The Faithful Setter  (Adult 18+)

My mom and I finish the quiz about American dialects we started last week to discover whether we speak the same way as other people from our region.
During our conversation, we also discuss regional vocabulary and accents from distinct sociocultural regions across the United States, including the South, the West Coast, New England, Texas, the Midwest and more.
You'll certainly learn a bit more about regional American cultures as well!
This is only the second half of the quiz. Please listen to episode 006 Exploring American Dialects (Part One) for the first half!
And if you'd like to try the quiz yourself, it's available at the following link if you scroll to the bottom and click on 'How Y'all, Youse and You Guys Talk': https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/learning/what-does-your-accent-say-about-who-you-are.html
