Charlie: Hello, my name's Charlie Williams and I'm from a small town in England called Hatfield. It's about 40 kilometres from London, um, which quite surprisingly is actually quite a beautiful part of the countryside. Um, at the moment I'm an English language teacher, which means I travel around the world and I'm currently living in Australia; however, I don't think I have lost my English accent and, uh, I feel it's important for me to continue to sound English, um, as it's part of my culture and my background. Um, I'm married to a South African woman, who doesn't sound South African, which is quite interesting…and, um, most people have trouble identifying her nationality because of it. But she's quite happy about that.
