I found this task pretty difficult to do, the different country ones were pretty simple because they generally have a stereotypical font, for example Russian is a square, very boxy font similar to those on Russian propaganda. Pirate is very rustic and pirates of the Caribbean aesthetic. But Geordie and Scouse were very difficult because I had to listen to the way they pronounced their words and where they put emphasis as opposed to just finding a font that visually represented a stereotype or aesthetic.
