New Orleans is places, New Orleans is people of today too.
Fifty People, One Question
Take a look at New Orleans faces, and listen to their New Orleans accent. What's the "One question" they are asked? Can you understand some of these people from New Orleans? It's a difficult job.

A variety of New Orleans accents. This video is a little long, but you can listen to a part of it to see if you can understand a little bit. The people come from different wards (different parts) of New Orleans. Good luck!

If you are courageous, here are two more. The two girls, one white and one black, pronounce different words and they answer questions about Louisiana vocabulary.

But don't worry, I won't use this accent or this vocabulary in class!!
