Can-Do Statements

After this module, you can...

• Hear that a speaker is not using the standard, and say roughly what is different
• Name the two main dialect groups and where the standard sits between them
• Recognise a dialect word without assuming it is an error or an archaism
• Follow a conversation in which people compare how their villages say things
• Read dialect in literature as characterisation
• Say what you cannot place, instead of guessing a region
