Outside of the obvious way (going to a place and listening to the way people speak) does anyone know of any good resources for listening to regional dialects? The specific dialect I'm looking for is a west indian/u.s. virgin island?
Also a question for the veterans, how much of a regional dialect should be included? I've read some things that were written so heavily in dialect that it was difficult to read. I'm wondering how much to pepper standard english with the dialect so it adds to the setting, but doesn't make it difficult to read?
thanks for any advice,
