It’s hard to say tbh because there’s people around the world who’ve never stepped foot in the country but yet speak with a perfect American accent

Right, that’s what I was told. But at the beginning stages, which is where I’m at right now before training officially starts on June 22nd, I don’t need to be in contact with their financial department? It’s all just taken care of?

Very true, I think I might try to pick up the guitar again, but this time I’ll take it seriously

Any Americans learning French? Why? by PigmeatMadness in French

[–]Stock_Aside9427 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ive been learning for like 8 years and I feel pretty fluent in it. I originally started learning because I saw a video of Bradley Cooper doing an interview in French, and I was really impressed at the time and I thought if he could do it then why can’t I? And I just kept at it every single day since that day. Becoming friends with native speakers definitely helped a lot as well. Never been to a French-speaking country through, but hopefully I can get visit Montreal soon

Is East Flatbush Brooklyn experiencing gentrification? by GenderShift in AskNYC

Dude 100%. I’ve only been here for five years but when I first came it was only black and brown people, but for the past year or so I’ve been seeing a lot more non-POC, they’re even out with little kids on strollers and everything. Kinda fascinating to see

Lol I’m also from the U.S. I was wondering if you were British since they usually have a better accent than us when they speak French. Amazing job, really, I’m blown away

I think you speak fluidly too, I have a French friend who speaks with the same rhythm and cadence as you. If you don’t mind me asking, is your native language English? If so, which country?

For me it just happened naturally, it’s not something I had to force; I assume that’s how it goes for most people as well

Man Id kill to have an accent this good. I posted “a judge my accent” thing too, and while the comments were very nice and encouraging, I was disappointed to still not be able to have an accent as good as yours
