About

This is not a talk on split infinitives, and what the differences are between the past participle and the past tense. Definitely not!

Charlie shows how the seeds of spoken English was first sown, and how each invading force affected the English language with the different sounds they brought.

Charlie includes a dialect tour of the British Isles, demonstrating the different facial expressions of each dialect. He also shows how some people he knows that lip read can tell what dialect a person has.
