[dicetosser1]

lifts a banbun and drinks deeply

[The Bard Babe]

[dragonlover]

Ah, taking advantage of inexperienced newbies are you there DL? :p

[Nyanna al'Meara]

Hey guys, new to the band, and a Euro import too!

(A dutchman living in Canada )

[The Bard Babe]

Englishwoman in Australia. :p

[Crossedx]

Englishwoman in Australia. :p

 

Do you get as many comments/funny looks re your accent as I do here? haha

[The Bard Babe]

I do! I have a hybrid accent. Aussie/english. Therefore, people in Australia think I'm really english and people in England think I'm really Australian. But I've lived in Australia for most of my life, so I think of myself as a full Aussie.

[Crossedx]

Ooh ok! Pretty similiar here, it's been 6 years so I've adapted fairly well. Now I mostly get this halfway through a conversation: ....wait! Do you have an accent?!?

And lots of: "SAY SOMETHING IN DUTCH!"

(and that's when you get to say the funny things and tell them it means 'hi how are you?' )

[The Bard Babe]

Ha ha, nice. I know a fair bit of german, so I could potentially understand you, or at least catch the drift of what you're saying. :p

[Nyanna al'Meara]

hehe! I was born in Germany & we moved here when i was four. We still speak german at home tho, and i've been back over there a few times . I also speak Spanish.

The funny thing with me and languages is,therefore, I adopt other people's accents when i speak with them, if I dont watch out! its really weird...but i could pass as a Liverpooler or Spaniard or anything if i lived in those places i guess XD

[The Bard Babe]

Liverpool! Don't worry, I went on exchange to Germany and my partner had learnt to speak English in America, so she had the biggest american accent, it was brilliant. No-one believed she was german though.

[Nyanna al'Meara]

Lol I just used Liverpool as an example. Someplace with a notable accent and I bet i'd unconsciously imitate it

[The Bard Babe]

Ha ha, yeah the Liverpudlian accent is hard to lose...it's part of my hybrid. It makes for a weird combination, I can tell you that. :p

AHHH!!! another pom!!! say it isnt SO!!!!!!!!!!!! bangs head on desk...bloody gillard! she'll let ANYONE in! :laugh:

 

looks at BB and imagines a face that is a mix of that idiot who harrasess perfectly innocent stingrays and George Harrison...WOW thatd make a conservationalist teddy boy!! lmao

 

about the accents i do it when i hang out with islanders mostly Tongans

[The Bard Babe]

Do you guys get guesses on your accents that are just completely wrong?

 

Like, I've had people think my scouse accent was american. :p

[The Bard Babe]

Aw come on Dice!!!

I was born here! I did a bit of growing up in England, but I did the same amount in Canberra and then in Darwin. And I've been in Brissie since I was pretty young. :p

 

And I am not George Harrison!

(But the Beatles are Liverpool's pride and joy) ;p
