Should I have spent so many hours this week developing an IPA countdown game? Probably not, but here it is anyway: https://t.co/radBEzxXzN I tested it out in a seminar last week and it went down a treat, so feel free to use it in any introductory phonetics classes! ⌚️🗣️

I have been working on a collaboration project with @RocheStone for @FestivalMind in which we have been asking the question ‘Is the Sheffield accent set in stone?’ Archived speech from locals representing 100 years of linguistic variation in Sheffield have been carved into stone.
