The area is very ethnically mixed and the speakers are four members of the English workshop plus their tutor, Catherine (Kate) Parker. Shadad Hamood is originally from Yemen and has lived in Cardiff since 1956. James Howard spoke the most along with Debby Salmoni. Debby lives in Splott and is hoping to gain qualifications and go back to work after having her children. Hayley Price has a little boy and lives in Adamsdown. Kate Parker is the group tutor and lives in Heath, Cardiff. The group became animated on the subject of swearing and being taunted because of having a Cardiff accent.
