MadmoiZelle speaks English

The Scottish accent is very popular !

@Sarah the Ninja I have also some big difficulties to understand New-Zealand accent, but maybe it is because I almost never hear it...
Yes they are so annoying about that, all students must speak such like a BBC presenter... So once time I said "In contrast" with a "R" wery accented like in Scottish (even if that doesn't was my intention) and I lost 2 points of pronunciation in the same way when students speak to much with a French accent (they are in particular strict with the words in "TH" = souTH, THe)

 

[Miss Ninja]

I get why the "th" would be important. Oh well, for now, force yourself to speak RP then you can switch back to whatever you prefer later. There's no way around snobs anyway!
What year are you?

 

[La Dame Grise]

Every university is the same, it seems. Some of my professors were so ridiculous, not even accepting general American instead of RP. Truth is, RP is not the most spoken accent, and the BBC even starts to hire people with a different accent than RP.
Now I just don't give a s*** anymore haha. No matter how hard I tried, I understood half of the accentuation rules so I'll never speak RP, and I just accepted my fate

I am in second year of LEA english/japanese and in English they want that in first year students are already bilingue with a perfect properly English ... -.-
But Yes as soon as I am in abroad I completely don't care what about teachers said, in particular about the French accent because in UK or US each times people said they love my accent, that it is SEXY X)

 

[La Dame Grise]

@Kaindaty well, the thing is, depending on what you intend to do afterwards, you do have to lose the French accent. For example, teachers/professors cannot teach and talk with a French accent, it's just not possible. I personnally don't care because I do not have to talk in a professional context but to read and write.

I want work in international trade, so I have just to be understandable and write right

@Seiryu aha of course I do, thanks ! I meant, I love English culture so... I don't know how to explain I'm like fascinated by London so I want to speak like a Londoner, do you see ?

Where did you see that rule? because I know people who are teaching with some really thick eastern european accents, and I once had a uni lecturer with an indian accent I could barely make out.

Welsh accents are the fucking bomb.

But any British accent does it for me, really.
