Ow ok thanx. I only heard lucy lawless with that Accent.
The accent that Margueritte and Veronica did in "the knife" Witch enlish was that? It wasn't british. Or did they try to sound it britisch? because I liked it :p. I thought it was a little bit funny the way they spoke.

It's the same here in Belgium.
You have dutch,
but you have West-vlaams, Oost-Vlaams, Antwerps, Limburgs (not interessting btw)
And you have dutch from the netherlands. :p And you have South African also another dutch. :p
what language would we speak if there wasn't english? Latin, Chinees? (not french, I don't like that :p)

I think they tried to sound like the-end-of-the-XIX-century British  and consider the area they lived in

| Well, I speak Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian (I have two friends from Serbia and Croatia, so they're trying to teach me), English, German, a little bit Russian, and I'm starting to learn Spanish and Italian next year (I'm going to learn them at school, year: 2008/09).

English is my mother tongue-and the only language I do speak i'm affraid.
Although I did learn French in school but that was more than 20 years ago and memory is no what it used to be....I do speak fluent gibberish-which is utter nonsense

I apologise for the double post-as I was replying to another message I thought it best to do a seperate reply.

Marguerite's accent was supposed to be Irish-her character,Mary Jane Kelly was of Irish decent.
Veronica's accent was that of a cockney London girl as her character was London born and bred.
Both carried the accents of very well I though-unless their parts were dubbed

Thanks for explanation, Tingler!
I can tell British English from American, or American from Aussie, but I suck at "within Great Britain" accents

I speak English only, but with a Texas twang that leaked into Louisiana. I use much of the Southern dialect, but it comes out different than "Gone With the Wind" Georgia peaches sound.

I only speak English! I used to know a bit of Spanish. I got up to level 3 in high school. But now I haven't used it for almost 3 years.
I want to learn Italian. Hopefully, if I can get a 3.0, I'll go study in Rome for a semester sometime in the next two years. And if I'm gonna be there that long I want to be able to talk to people who don't speak English.
What's the best way to learn a language, without actually taking a class at school?
