We don't really, but that would be pretty fun.

Honestly though, western accents rock as far as I can tell. Might be a bit fast for non-native speakers. Better than being made to feel like a retard when talking to someone from Wisconsin though.

Fast isn't the issue, it's more the whole style of speaking. But I geuss that's just personal preference.

[Knight Templar]

More or less.

Anyway, I want Patrick Stewart's accent. His voice makes me want to buy Goodyear all-weather tires.



*sigh*

Captain Picard is selling tires?

It is a sad day indeed.

[Knight Templar]

He sells antihistamine medicine as well.

Everyone speak English and/or German.

You can phone any reasonably sized company in any part of the world and chances are they'll be able to patch you through to an English and/or German speaking rep/secretary.

Besides, foreign languages are actually a lot more in demand, that jobless an0n here might think. Most companies pay nearly double to people who can speak stuff like french, if they've got business in the EU, or russian if they've got business in the eastern europe.

Which leaves me at a distinct advantage, since I can speak Estonian, English, Russian, French, and Finnish.

Beat that.

[Knight Templar]

Finnish? Who the hell speaks Finnish?

[kasperl]

The Finnish perhaps?

I just finished my French stuff, and I passed, on a very wide margin too..... (5,77; I needed a 5,5.)
Now, only German left, and then just fun stuff like Latin and the easiest of them all: English.
