Re: Accents
I used to think New Zealand and Oz accents sounded the same until I came here.I've discovered that they are very different.Re: Accents
Here in NwZlnd we don't use vwls any more. Ozzies stl em' all. They have "Sweeeeemin poools" we have "Swmn Pls". There biggst city is "Sdny" they call it "Seeeedny"Re: Accents
It's funny that tabby mentions that there wwere three distinctly different Welsh accents in the programme she was watching. This is probably down to mainly the sound of someone's voice (pitch, tone etc) as well as having so many regional variations.Re: Accents
I often wonder if the level of difficulty, or not, in understanding an accent depends on where we ourselves originate from?Re: Accents
My accent is a bit mixed, comes from living in Central Scotland for so many years. When our family first moved to the mainland I had the sing song soft accent of the Hebrides, then I lost it a bit over the years. But it's back, sort of, as I've spent most of the last 12 years up on the North Coast, at least that's what friends from Perth tell me when I'm with them.Re: Accents
