dont get me started....frickin immigrants.....dont get me wrong Im not a racist, I just think our [uk] government is too soft to turn people back at our borders, coupled with benefits handed out left right and centre like sweets at a funfair, of course to any eastern european, the streets of england are lined with gold - literrally in some cases. Thats not what I pay my taxes for.

Oh, don´t get me started with accents right now, my Chinese teacher is sick and the replacement teacher has such a bad accent I don´t understand a single word. How can somebody like this become a language teacher? OoAmy_Tenchi wrote: Oh yes, I have the horrendous Jersey accent too.
There is a beast inside man that should be exercised, not exorcised.

I can understand that, we have a few Literature and English major teachers that are very hard to understand due to their foreign accents.Grinser wrote:Oh, don´t get me started with accents right now, my Chinese teacher is sick and the replacement teacher has such a bad accent I don´t understand a single word.

My boyfriend makes fun of the accent, and says things...funny (to me anyways) For example: talk, water, coffee, gaudy, quarter, quarry... anything with that ah sound becomes and aw sound...
...Its normal here! Its weird to talk normal....
hehe, talk.
