Make that the cat wise, I’m the way lost. People that know me well, know I’m a fan of accents. Language is according to me one of the most intriguing things existing out there. Just think about it: we’re all saying more or less the same during a day, but it all sounds so extremely different. Not just in between countries, but even between regions, or even villages next to each other. Over the years I had the pleasure to work with people of different origins, and in a professional setting it’s clear that English is the common denominator. Resulting in all of us doing our very best to sound as English as possible. But the reality is that we simply can’t really hide our mother tongue. And that’s absolutely great to my opinion: it makes conversations way more interesting. Yes, sometimes also a bit less efficient. But still so pleasant and enriching. So, I had a quick & dirty try on some European countries, while sincerely hoping I don’t offend anyone 😇 Any others I should try?
A foreign accent is a sign of courage 🏅
Spot on , even the difference between Flemish and Dutch English is so recognisable
Love this! It made me smile and remember some meetings I have had over the years with international colleagues and clients. Many of us try our best to avoid accents but the beauty is in the accent and it is about connecting with others. I am from Barcelona and lived in the Netherlands for several years so apparently I speak English with a Dutch accent ;-) that can happen too!
The Dutch and the Flemish, the German and the French, the Italian too... all perfect and very recognizable. Ik ben verbaasd! Spanish is so so... a perfect pronunciation for Barcelona but the vowels and s sound after that are not really our accent.
Spot on, also the charms of any international company. Love it. Would not miss it for the world.
Brilliant. Love it! Recognise the different English dialects very well. Great performance.
love it !! I will defintely share this in my course lesbian bakery !
