Accents

Aren't they wonderful? Just been watching a crafty demonstration. There were three presenters - two men - one woman - all Welsh - and all with completely different accents. It was lovely to hear them.

Do you like accents?

Do you have an accent?

Would you ever try to lose your accent?

Certainly not, your accent is a part of your identity.

When you think about it, only those who are not in your particular location think you have an accent when listening to you. You don't have an accent when talking to others in your area.

Re: Accents

When we moved to Canada from England I had a strong accent and I use to get my friends to sing ‘God Save the Queen.’ People thought it was cute but then I tried to lose it since I got made fun of. Lol . I love a beautiful British, Scottish, Irish, Welsh accent. They really are nice.
