I understand Spanish fairly well and can speak it enough to get my point across. I subscribed to this podcast called Coffee Break French and learned a ton, but then got a bit frustrated because I didn't have anyone to practice my French with.<br /><br />Thomas- it's ok. You didn't personally colonize India. And besides if Britain hadn't colonized India then I probably wouldn't be so addicted to tea!<br /><br />TIffany- Spending six weeks in London sounds fabulous! I'm so jealous. <br /><br />Jennifer- Yes, I agree accents give language character and definitely sound beautiful.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by guys!Anita Saxenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444339735834716979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379773217495837003.post-62314885412243347532011-09-22T17:32:40.998-05:002011-09-22T17:32:40.998-05:00I love accents, too!

I spent six weeks on a study abroad in London and even with such a short amount of time I find myself saying phrases that my friends here in America don't really get ;p It doesn't help that much of my reading/writing skills comes from studying Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings (the UK versions, mind you!)Hermana Tiffany Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512773328198541058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379773217495837003.post-75783057278830294382011-09-21T08:46:26.195-05:002011-09-21T08:46:26.195-05:00Needless to say, I thoroughly approve of all this....Needless to say, I thoroughly approve of all this.

Do you speak a language other than English? I bet you do! I think some people are just language chameleons who pick up everything form the grammar of another language to the sound of it.<br /><br />In writing about British people, you're more or less in Britain right now, even if it's only virtually . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
