Love the big huh, that sounded very French "heuuu". Impressive if you got all these off the top of your head. Here's mine. I won't try either Finnish or Swedish. Vocaroo | Voice message
No, I posted them on google translate to prevent stumbling, but some words got confused, like "iron" which translated in French as "clothes iron", and had to improvise.
Well, one can notice that it's not your native language. Among the best pronounced were toit, route, huile, etc. "laver" and "eau" would most likely get confused for other words, but otherwise good!
There is nothing wrong with saying you sound like Honey boo boo. I have an opinion, I am allowed it and I will use it. I have nothing against you, if I really wanted to run down your accent I could've said much worse.
Not sure if your referring to my accent but I don't have an Irish leprechaun type accent so don't sound like Father ted.
Of course you have a RIGHT to express your opinions. Please don't confuse "rights" with common courtesies, however. Seems you have a bit of a problem differentiating.
As for your accent, why don't you pony up and post an example and let US decide whether or not you sound like a leprechaun or Father Ted.
But if you've never been and thats all you've seen why wouldn't you assume that? A substantial amount of americans think that all Irish people do is eat potatoes and live in mud huts. And they've said that to us as-well.
When our Canadian cousins girlfriend visited us she asked us many insulting questions from 'do you guys have a cinema' to 'do you guys have bikes'.
Just because someone else is ignorant, doesn't give you an excuse to be so yourself. Your cousin's girlfriend apparently irritated you with her dumb and insulting assumptions, so why do you want to follow her example?
This is Pittsburgh talk, we talk very fast, I think it is a mix of different languages going back to immigration days starting around 1860 and forward. It may read crazy as if we're not educated
you have to say it all really fast

Ok.
Hmm i'll record it and listen to it. Where is the list of the words?
I forgot, I have songs I made duh! Here's a small sample of my attempt at rapping in one of my songs. This is not what my normal speaking voice sounds like. My normal voice is usually higher and most people think I'm a white guy over the phone.

You Frenchies are too picky! BTW, when Catbelle quoted those words she was praised how good her pronounciation were, but when Norgy and me pronounced them it sounded "Norwegian" and "Finnish". No praise whatsoever, we northeners apparently are supposed to speak good English. But well, you didn't get any praise either, though you should.
