21 Accents Explained For Once By Amy Walker

Following my blog religiously you will probably notice that I am religiously into accents. Accents in the English speaking world are fascinating if it’s up to me. Plus, I absorb pretty much anything that teaches you how to improve your phony Texan or English accent. The video attached to this entry is full of lessons to improve your world accents.

Amy Walker did a pretty good job in covering a variety (21 to be precise) of accents. I love her Sco-ish, German and New Zealand accent. I also recommend the interview the the 21-accent-lady (it’s very captivating to hear her natural accent).

It’s Just The Way It Is

Well. A lot of Austrians are not aware of their funny accent. I have to admit by myself, that I was not aware of how funny we sound to others either. So, I’ve been trying to work on my accent and so should you. (I’ll let you know if my plans work out… (@Blake: Do you have a phony British accent? I know Amanda does “There’s a booooy in the woaaaoooter…”) You get more girls that way…. Oh and by the way… My phony English accent is getting better so you guys from the city of Los Angeles better watch out. It’s just the way it… Watch this video, it is hilarious!

PS: Good luck for the oral Maturas, we have to be fine. It’s just the way it is… right?

Dat Was Hot, I Sink Ei Äm Schwitzing

Ich sitze gerade vor Mathe und lache darüber…

Treffen sich zwei Kurven im Unendlichen, sagt die eine: “Hey, hau ab aus meinem Definitionsbereich, sonst differenzier’ ich Dich!”
Antwortet die andere: “Mach doch! Ich bin die e-Funktion!”

Webtip: Wer darüber (den Mathewitz, jetzt) nicht lachen kann muss da mal nachschauen gehen: Miss Helga - Tipp: Scroll ein bisschen hinunter da kommt ein so ein Tunetable-ishes Ding, da kann man alle Sounds von ihr anhören!
