*LOL* at least he got your accent right. The second time I was in London a guy thought I was from France. When I said no, he said, oh yeah then it must be Spain, right ;) |

| Since I'm a sucker for Scottish accents, that's what I'd choose. I would also like to learn Italian and take more French classes, probably some German too. I love the US, but I think compared to everyone else in the world, we sound pretty plain here. Maybe it's because I'm used to it. I dunno. An Italian once told my husband that we just sound like we are saying "arh arh arh arh" all of the time. |
