Someone has an accent when they speak if you can tell that they normally speak in a different language to the one they are talking in now. You can also have an accent if you travel to a different area where people speak the same language but in a different way.
B is for Bark (Dog)
Croak is the noise a frog or toad makes. Sometimes people say "ribbit" instead of croak. Frogs make noise by passing air through a vocal sac, but by puffing out the skin on their throats they can make their croak so loud that some types of frog can be heard up to a mile away.
An echo is reflected sound. You get echos most often in enclosed spaces with hard walls, like an empty room with wooden floors, or the inside of a large concrete pipe like in the picture. If you make a noise in a place like this, the noise you make sounds like it is being repeated back at you again and again, getting quieter each time.
