People speak differently because of where they're from. Imagine if you grew up in a place with lots of wind, maybe your voice sounds more rough or sharp. Or if everyone in your town speaks fast, then you might start speaking fast too. Over time, these habits become part of how people talk, and that’s what makes accents different.
Examples
- Kids in a fast-paced city learn to talk quickly to keep up with everyone around them.
- When you move to another country, your accent changes because you start speaking like the people there.
