Re: [MBZ] poos what do you think about these detailing techniques? now Accetns
A related but funny thing I saw on the news in Texas once -- they were interviewing this Chinese student from Texas AM (I think) who had come to the school not knowing much English. He had won some sort of award. The kid had a really thick Texas accent overlaying his Chinese accent, it was really funny (well to me anyway, the juxtaposition I guess). I guess he learned Texasenglish from all his buds. --R On 6/20/12 3:03 PM, Randy Bennell wrote: So, can't y'all just hear Wilton tawkin French with a southern accent??

There was such a guy I used to work with, an ABC from Louisiana who spoke with a drawl. Quite jarring when I first heard him open his mouth.

My Danish friends in Greenland in '78 said I spoke Danish with a Norwegian accent. We never understood how that came about, unless the study tape I was using was recorded by a Norwegian.

When I took French in college my teacher (who looked exactly like Gerard Depardieu) said I spoke French with a Quebecois accent. I have no idea how that happened. -Curt Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:42:11 -0400 From: WILTON wilt...@nc.rr.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] poos what do you think about these detailing techniques?now Accetns Message-ID: 44DFC320ED0A4306ABDBFE9C3F153175@wiltonPC Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=iso-8859-1; reply-type=original My Danish friends in Greenland in '78 said I spoke Danish with a Norwegian accent.

Re: [MBZ] poos what do you think about these detailing techniques?now Accetns
I was the only boy in my French classes during my junior and senior years of high school. I was very frustrated when having to listen to my classmates read French - one - word - at - a - time - with no expression and/or feeling - just - one - meaningless - disconnected - word - at - time. It would finally be my turn to read, and I would read the lines with feeling - tie the words together with proper expression - to convey a message - to give it all meaning. I've taken great pleasure in being able to do this. #1 grandson can also do this, and has told me several times how frustrating it is to listen to his classmates try to read/translate - one -word - at - a - time - in an expressionless monotone.
