FreeNo signup15–20 questionsPersonal mapShareable result
A Safe Group Activity
No account is required, and the quiz avoids ranking dialects as correct or incorrect. The goal is observation, identity, and language awareness.
Discussion Prompts
Ask which answers surprised people, which words came from family, and whether the result points to birthplace, childhood, parents, or current community.
Group Map Workflow
Have everyone take the quiz, write down top regions, then build a shared map on the board. Keep it anonymous when students prefer privacy.
Privacy in Class
Students can compare results without creating accounts or recording voices. Teachers should avoid requiring students to disclose family history when they prefer to keep it private.
