If you are looking for some listening practice with some regional variations of U.K. English, go the the Voices site on the BBC. This is a rich little site, full of examples of how the language continues to grow and evolve. To listen to a variety of people, go to the Voice Recordings section. Have fun!

For a bit of background on how the language has changed, check out this feature on the BBC website. It offers some fantastic perspectives on what constitutes so-called standard English. Why not offer your point of view?
