I love accents
 
I love strange accents, especially. There's a client of ours that comes in quite often. He seems to struggle with speaking English, but I love to listen to him talk.

He's Polish, I'm pretty sure. But his accent doesn't sound completely Polish.

"OK...vat's good, vat's good. Someveen could 'appen.

OUN-believable!"

:D

People say that I have an accent. No one can ever tell me what kind of an accent it is though.

My job is to take calls from foreign students, and almost every single one has an accent.

Dream job?


I think so.

Do you consider British and Australian accents to be similar/the same?

Ghetto_Squirrel 01-20-2004 03:20 AM

Supposedly the stretch of land through Indiana and Ohio, which is close to where I grew up, has the purest form of American English. With no real accent then, I guess I'll just have to settle for my speech eccentricities.

australian, scouse, northern, irish, posh, cockney, scottish. to me, it's all british. australian is closer to cockney than the other ones i listed, so i think it's fair to categorize an australian accent as a british one.

OH LOOK AT ME. I AM AN AMERICAN AND I AM BATHING IN MY CULTURAL IGNORANCE.

fuck you hillzy.
