I’ve been speaking with a scouse accent for years and only recently realized it. Now I finally understand why I have been getting ridiculed for years about my accent. For some reason, I’m the only person in my entire family (not just immediate) who has an accent. I was born tongue tied, so maybe that’s why… or the Beatles just have that effect on me a-hard-days-night-john-1

"I'd tell her I love her, but she'd only reject me in the end and I'd be frustrated. That's why I play guitar; it's my active compensatory factor" -Ringo said something like this once, I changed it up a bit.

Sometimes I accidentally slip into a Scouse accent because of too much (if that’s possible) listening to the Beatles talk and sing. It annoys my family.

Native language is Dutch.

I can speak English and I think I do it pretty well, I also get good marks for it. I can speak a good bit of German, a little bit of French and some Latin and Greek.

I can speak English, partly well. Sometimes the words I want to say don’t come out with the way I want them to. I try to speak with the RP accent to the ridicule of my contemporaries lol. I can speak Tagalog (Filipino), Kapampangan (Pampango, a local ethnic language). Je ne parle pas bien le Francais. I am trying to learn German and French on my own during my spare time.

Nice collection there Linde.

I sometimes think I must write double-Dutch from the bemused response elicited by many of my posts :)

Spanish and a odd combination of American/British English & Spanglish. (I can talk in English, but I keep switching between American & British accents because I learned certain words with American pronunciation and others with British pronunciation (The Beatles caused me this ahdn_ringo_09), and a few times I can’t come up with the exact English word I want and make it up from Spanish).

Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to...Strawberry Fields.

English, Spanish (barely) and French (less barely).
