    Swedish accents - PHWAOR

    Welsh - Can do it for me if the girls right
    Donegal (county in Ireland) Accents - PHWAOR
    Dutch accents... they seem like they're constantly trying to spit at you.

    I haven't really heard too many Swedish accents. Maybe I have. It's not too memorable. Either that, or I'm too absorbed in the perving to notice how they talk. Or in the case of the time I spent around a bunch of swedes in Copenhagen this year, too pissed to notice.

    :D


    i spent a week in the netherlands for the pj gig this past june and with a great friend from here. spent a good deal of time with many of his friends too. i joked around with them that dutch is most definitely NOT a language for sexy, dirty talk in bed, haha. :p they whole-heartedly agreed. ;) however, i DO like the sound of the language and the accent, it's endearing. although as i mentioned earlier, i like just about ALL accents simply b/c they add such language to speech. nowadays i work with people from all oer the world......even have an aussie hinny! we do have a few dutch and germans n our group as well...along with a smattering of other accents.....i think it's awesome!


    even amongst native english-speakers, i'd guess at least 90% in my office are not native NYers, so got loads of US regional accents, or lack there of. ;) haha.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    id have to admit that perving is the major part of the experience alrite. after a while though you have to enter dialogue and then you notice it....although now i think about it maybe it wasnt the accents that i liked.....:D

    perfect description of dutch. i like it, but my god is it funny. "Pleasshshh"

    if the swedes in question were Johan and Petter, they were definitely pissed too when we bumped into them in the hostel bathroom at 7am!! (and they were getting UP!)..and considering tehy must have been around with Ida, I can see the perving.. Ed had the same one ;)

    I like a nice Irish accent. It's almost like singing. I have been told I have a NYC accent. :?
