So I really don't know. I can tell the difference in regional accents, though. Oh, and I could probably recognize a Japanese speaking Korean. There was a Japanese lady in my Korean class who used the same Japanese intonation for Korean, which I thought was cute.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184460706620677905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15580543.post-1136471705437021792006-01-05T14:35:00.000+00:002006-01-05T14:35:00.000+00:00Alice, and what about among Asian languages?

I totally agree that the German accent in ANY language is totally GRUESOME!!! <BR/> Same with the Austrian accent versus the North-German Accent (Hochdeutsch). If you have an accent from Northern Germany, people here will declare you a 'Piefke' in a very derogatory way. Germans, in turn, tell me sometimes patronisingly how 'cute' my accent is. Líke you can't take anyone very seriously who talks like this. And let's just forget about the Swiss accent!!! ;) LOL.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184460706620677905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15580543.post-1136458546543096802006-01-05T10:55:00.000+00:002006-01-05T10:55:00.000+00:00Recently a lady at a gas station near Valencia (Sp...Recently a lady at a gas station near Valencia (Spain) asked me where I came from. <BR/>"Guess," I said. <BR/>"From Italy," she answered. <BR/>"Why do you think so?" <BR/>"Because you talk just like my mother." <BR/>The lady came from Argentina. <BR/>My dream is to be able to distinguish Italy's 20 different accents (and "languages")... but before that, I still have to learn Italian. Oh, one life is too short!<BR/>I like the "hoha hola".<BR/>Indeed, English can become the preferred language, even among lovers!giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13289193384614063267noreply@blogger.com
