Well it is “pretend” French accent day, Arthur, not “I’m trying for the Academy Awards” French accent day. That’ll be next month. :) However, if you want me to try it again later, I will.
You just reminded me to bookmark the French Ecole podcast, I’d like to learn to speak French. It might be handy for you also with a trip to Canada looming (http://www.thefrenchecole.com/). Cheers!
Hee hee heee!
Sadly, I don’t think I’m smart enough to create an audio file and post it to my blog. You’ve far surpassed my meager skills. ;)
I will speak in a fake German accent if that is OK. Zis is za Misfit and I have vays to fake tok in German.
Outstanding pretend accentry there !
sorry tara, it is much better than i could do that’s for sure as anyone who has heard my attempts to speak french can testify :-(
FW: I took four years of French back in high school. Actually took a class in basic French before high school. And do you know what I got out of the handful of classes? “Bonjour!”, “Au’revoir!”, “Je m’appelle Tara”, “Je suis content” and “Ca va?”. And that’s about it.
Nicole: I wish I could help you..I just know how to record through Blogger. Maybe there’s something you can find for your website!
ESB: That’s a good German accent there. Maybe that should be another regular holiday for each month, to speak in a different accent once a month.
Martyn: Mirci beaucoup!
Arthur: No worries…I went through many outtakes because I sounded ridiculous. Sadly, this was my final draft. :)
tara, as one who has listened to many fake French accents as well as many real French accents, I can with confidence say that yours is *Superior. Keep up the good fake.
Why thanks ElFid! I will definitely keep up the good fake.
