I missed something

Accidentally picking up an Australian accent is not something too many people find easy to do.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I thought you were bullshitting me about that until I met you

But trust me, in Dutch I have still the same old Dutch accent, haven't changed that since I lived in Belgium. And for German/French I have also got a (sort of) Dutch accent. Though someone told me I had a northern German accent. But that was ages ago.

Als ik ooit naar Australië zou gaan, zou ik iedereen voor de gek kunnen houden, door te beweren dat ik daar al 'n hele tijd heb gewoond. Door m'n accent.

En ik heb nog nooit één voet op Australische bodem gezet!

(en nu moet ik 30 seconde wachten ofzo)

Well he already speaks English with a fairly thick Australian accent. Dropping a Brittish accent for an Australian one is pretty difficult. Within a day of my first visit to England, it took a couple of weeks to drop their accent and speak with my own. This year I accidentally fooled some locals into thinking I was Brittish even though I was trying really hard to keep my own accent. The following day my real accent came back It was the most bizarre thing.

Bah...Tuesdays at work are so BORING! I should just not come to work on Tuesdays for like a month or something...no-one would notice that much

Tuesdays without work are boring too.

(FYI)

If I were at home I'm sure I could find better things to do than sit in a corner facing the wall for 8 hours

Well I don't do it on purpose. It just happens. Loads of people have thought I was taking a piss. Same for a couple of my friends. Some picked up the english accent really fast with some english people living close by and going to the same pub. And some others have been to Australia for a year working etc. and picked up the accent pretty quick aswell.

nt. Though someone told me I had a northern German accent. But that was ages ago.

That could be.Because Plattduetsch and Dutch are very simmillare.

Reminds me of a story a German/Australian guy told me at Summer Breeze. Went to study in France...came back with an Irish accent

I know.

I can (easilly?) read Plattdeutsch and understand it.
