So pj, how many Kirupians have ya blabbed with so far?
about 2minutes…
I don’t critique, only in my head :sure:
I was thinking about giving you my number, just for the fun of it, but I have some doubts about talking to americans, mostly because my accent is horrible, and I write US better than I speak it…
seriously… =)
I’m sure your accent is lovely.
Now mine is strange. Mostly it’s very clear, ‘posh’ English, but sometimes it degenerates into this God-awful sounding thing, where I start dropping t’s and h’s.
There’s this place near where I was born called Chatham. But the locals all miss out the t and the h, so it sounds more like ‘Cha’am’. Down is pronounced ‘dahn’… Stuff like that. I tried to lose that accent, but occasionally it surfaces.
My mum is French. You should hear her accent when she speaks English. LOL
you think that’s bad? My mum’s WELSH. I’m left with a Scottish accent with hints of Welsh rearing its ugly head every so often.
I used to go out with a guy who was half Welsh. He had the sexiest accent imaginable.
I have a small Dutch / German accent when I speak English. So it seems… I was once compared to one of the Dutch football players for that.
but it ruined my chances with Anne Robinson
Who?
she makes fun of people on TV. Is there a Belgian version of the Weakest Link?
I am from Boston therefore I dont pronounce my R’s
Car = “Cah”
Here “Heah”
Yard = “Yahd”
Accent… I think that my pronunciation of R is pretty normal, but I think I’ve more problems with words.
Oh, and of course, the pronunciation of THe (ve) and THanks (fanks).

Hm, I heard the title “The Weakest Link” before, but I don’t think we have a Belgian version of this, no.
I love that show.
“you are the weakest link… goodbye.”
Of course, Anne Robinson does the American version as well, doesn’t she?
She also went on a program called Room 101, where a guest can put forward items to go into the Orwellian “Room 101” and banish them from existance. Anne Robinson selected the Welsh as one of her choices and caused uproar.
