We hope yinz come to da Picksburg AG!

Pittsburgh has a unique accent referred to by the locals as Pittsburghese. The local dialect of English includes words like "yinz," "slippy" and "nebby," sounds like the vowel in "aht" (out) or "dahntahn" (downtown), and expressions like "n’at." If you're interested in blending into the Pittsburgh culture, try these exercises before you leave for the AG!

Broadcasting LIVE!
July 1-5 from your host group Western Pennsylvania Mensa
