If you could speak in another accent/language what would it be?

[sean miguel]

For me it would be an english accent. Nothing sounds as elegant and refined IMO. And women with english accents drive me nuts.

My current "accent" could be best described as west coast surfer. And lots of "dude" and "like".

I've been told I sound exactly like this guy:

 

[BusterLoads]

Latin. It's the only language I like. I'd get Rosetta Stone for it this very second if I could afford it.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Finnish so I could call assairi a retard in his own language.

 

[Namenlos]

I don't have an accent...or at least I'd like to think I don't. I do, however, speak a fair bit of German.

I didn't think so either until someone from another part of the country pointed it out. It's all relative.

I want to pick 2 languages. Chinese would be fun freaking out people when I order food. Indian would be good since there are tons of them in my area. As a bonus I'll be able to communicate with any customer service agent over the telephone.

German, when the the political pollsters call me every night, I can yell at them in German.

Yeah, like "Rick" in Bangalore. I really don't have a complaint with customer service reps in India. Sure, their responses are canned but at least I don't get the I don't give a shit attitude that I sometimes get from american call centers.

True! Yesterday, I got a call from an EA games customer service agent, whith an indian accent. He was so nice, patient, and overall one of the best I ever contacted, and I worked in customer service myself.

Back on topic:

I think Hebrew would be good. Other languages I find very easy to learn,I am fluent in english, my birth language is german, I get along well in french, had lessons of that in high school

I dream of visiting Israel, possibly for a longer time

 

[CrimsonBolt]

well, if i could speak/wrote correct English that would be a great start

also it would be cool to speak Spanish and Czech but too tough to learn

You speak better english than I speak french so :hatsoff: to you.


Speaking of which, I took french for a semester in high school. The whole assigning masculine or feminine to nouns seemed like an unnecessary and ridiculous complication to me.


I shoulda took spanish.

yeah French is pretty tough, i was one of the last at school, i probably write better English than French.

 

[BlkHawk]

my birth language is German

When the pollsters call during my supper tomorrow, as they have every night this week, what can I yell at them in German to make them hang up? Preferably something nice, and polite, but sounds violent to non German speakers.

 

[klies13]

i dont have much problem with writing but i wish i could speak better/fluent english

 

[klies13]

Indian is not a language.Major one is Hindi and then there are 100s of local ones.

yeah French is pretty tough, i was one of the last at school, i probably write better English than French.

same with me.i haven't written anything in my language in the last 10 years,ever since i left school

 

[Johan]

I we're talking business than the best chpoice would be Chinese and Indian

For "fun", I would choose Italian and Russian 'cause I've always thought these accents are so sexy...

Well, I think you can be vicious in every language, just pick the right accent and the right attitude. In German, therwe are several ways to be rude or making people hang up:

1. Do the Hitler

2. Use a very thick accent, and practcally tlk complete gibberish. Saxonian, Bavarian, they can be rough.

As a former customer service agent, I can say: make lung pauses, talk over them, turn on loud music or other audio, get creepy, you can have extreme fun, and the callers will ahve something to talk about. You can even pre-tape your part of such conversations, and just put the telephon next to the audioplayer and let it go it's way.

All in all,, the Hitler accent is awesome, and it does not really matter WHAT you say, just belt it out. Even poems sound like a death sentence that way

 

[Bribi1]

I'd like to be bilingual english.
Then, it would be spanish.
With French, english, Spanish, I think you cover a good part of the world!!

 

[Deepcover]

Definitely Russian

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I don't want but want to learn to talk like a five foot tall nurse from The Philippines so I can mock my girl effectively. She blays bing-bong at her gomblex. Trying to learn.
