PROMPT May 9th Write about language - What languages do you wish you could speak? What’s the most pleasant sounding accent? What’s the funniest word in the English language (or your native language)? I think Americans are at a disadvantage. We should be required to learn at least one other language. Probably Spanish since we have a big Latino population. But French would also be a good choice. The character languages like Arabic or Chinese are scary for me. Perhaps they are easy to learn, but I’m a little leery of them. There was a guest one year at the motel in Gardiner from Northern Scotland. He had a thick accent, and he stayed for at least a week. I felt bad asking him to repeat himself so often. I was just getting his accent when he left. But that brogue was so interesting, so melodious. The funniest word? Hmm. Not a clue about that question. But I'll probably think of one as soon as I read everyone else's posting. |
