Why? Well, it would be nice to walk into a restaurant and ask for a table without turning heads. It actually serves a purpose when not trying to call attention to yourself ('Oh, clumsy AND American').</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So I've been working on it. I'm getting my 'lessons' by regularly listening to my fav DJs on the radio and repeating after them. I am able to end the last word of a sentence with an accent, but I cannot hold the accent for an entire sentence. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are so many <i>many</i> accents in this small country, the trick is to hold the <i>same</i> English accent through a conversation and not sound like one is flying all over the country when giving it a go.<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj9KTLs8StvEZMzYY_Jeo322UUyCghiPipCgJIipuCVUdeNxWmucZp-RFS80zSTGa_6CxgQJrPARYyJZMlkkcaSKRsNLbYlv2lPDd3YFyGtIsxDcZJvhBAE69cKGSkbx6jBWnlDolnAnA/s1600/pinterest.com.pin.170508.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj9KTLs8StvEZMzYY_Jeo322UUyCghiPipCgJIipuCVUdeNxWmucZp-RFS80zSTGa_6CxgQJrPARYyJZMlkkcaSKRsNLbYlv2lPDd3YFyGtIsxDcZJvhBAE69cKGSkbx6jBWnlDolnAnA/s400/pinterest.com.pin.170508.jpg" width="281" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The 'Queen' of The Accent<br />(Image: <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/170508/">Pinterest</a>)</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've noticed the last sound fades into the distance when ending in 'ear' (like dear). 'T's are pronounced properly as a 't', not as a 'd' as we do in America - i.e. settle (vs 'seddle'), matter (vs 'madder').  And in fact, 'water' is a really 'advanced' word that I think I can say right 80% of the time now.<br /><br />And if you're really good, 'sure' and 'shore' should sound the same. (Did I just hear you giving it a try?)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've met expat Americans that have lived here over 10 years completely surrounded by English-English; they still have their American accent 99.9% of the time. Just an occasional change in inflection and vocabulary. So depressing, I know!<br /><br />But not to worry, if we meet, I won't be entering 'Dorkville' with my new accent. I'll stick with the American one - I'm still trying to tackle the English language in any accent :)<br /><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/35/2FD701A88E1AB920883327F28E3E4BF9.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a><br /><br />Link: <a href="http://serenitynow4amanda.blogspot.com/">Serenity Now</a>
