I was teased a lot, but I'd prefer that over broken English with a Swedish accent attached to it.<BR/>Things has changed since, though. My English accent is all gone and instead I'm gaining a bit of an Irish accent from hanging out with my boyfriend. It's great :)Lady Chuckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452191327366634176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709671052477389617.post-12424809909025282542009-02-12T17:11:00.000+00:002009-02-12T17:11:00.000+00:00Nice one Vinnie!

In Barcelona I went out with a lass from Barnet, Norf London , who spoke Spanish and Catalan with the broadest of cockney accents, and everyone understood her perfectly. Considering she was the Director of Studies at International House TEFL school, it was just as well they did!Charlie Adleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063071455000195762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709671052477389617.post-70035079729202739512009-02-09T20:14:00.000+00:002009-02-09T20:14:00.000+00:00that's very funny. i emigrated from galway to the...that's very funny. i emigrated from galway to the USA years ago. so i know of what you speak. i remember once being at a shopping mall in Hollywood CA and hearing what was clearly the voice of expat London sarf london working class gal. she was interacting with the sales clerk at a baby clothing store. and i listened with great interest as her accent drifted upwards socially till i thought she was going to start ordering beheadings. and guess what? it worked. <BR/><BR/>i couldn't resist bursting the bubble by asking what part of london she was from in my thickest paddy accent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
