I sound English when I speak French for a while (for French people) and then I get into my french accent again. The give away are expressions that have never left me. However there's some words which sounds English, like all words finishing in 'ion' I pronounce them in English which throws French people in thinking I'm foreign. Because I am with my kids or husband, I switch languages constantly which muddle me a bit. I'm not the only one doing this. Millions of other people having lived abroad and travelled have still some remnants of their mother tongue, and mix some sounds, especially when changing language within minutes. Jenny, for example, sounds Dutch. She's English, but all my family were convinced she was Dutch. GOSH!! What on earth will happen if/when I move to France :~) Jenny Coming back from Danemark last week, I heard many people sounding like Jenny - some intonations, expressions etc. but by English people living in Danemark. Judith Lea this morning rang me at my office. Ask her what accent do I have. And Janet, please restrain from being nasty. There's no need. I won't fall for the bait anymore. |
