When I worked in radio, I used to get complaints that my accent was 'put on posh'... My mum heard a man complaining and phoned the station - they put her on air - and people heard that I sound just like my mum... no more complaints!!!<br />My dad is from Yorkshire in England. His accent was really strong and he was teased when he first emigrated. So he worked to change it, and now speaks broad Kiwi!<br />I'd love to hear the New York accent in person :-) XOJanet NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007190000148320634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646562095417174826.post-59290807662653285862012-01-18T09:38:02.469-05:002012-01-18T09:38:02.469-05:00LOL... too funny. I grew up on LONGH ISLAND... lo...LOL... too funny. I grew up on LONGH ISLAND... lol... but I think because I hated the way everyone spoke and was involved with my Ukrainian heritage, loved Italian from the Godfather etc... I would often get asked what nationality I was and where I was from when I originally moved here. Most were shocked I came from Long ISland because I didn't have the accent, but they couldn't pin point a bit of an accent. By that time I had studied Lakota Sioux, Tried Japanese, some Russian, a prayer in Hebrew, tried mimicing Achmed the Terrorist and Ghandi's accent. Later reading and researching some of my Irish background and French. So there ya have it..... I am so mixed and so what I think is normal, some think as puzzling. I just had a conversation with my husband about how it seems people who have a french, english, (european) accent get paid more attention to and people think they are more intellectual and sophisticated. I remember when I was dating my now husband, there were these snobby girls who were eyeing me out... I had gone to the ladies room and they followed me, I said hello with a french accent and instantly their attitudes changed and they started talking and being nice to me. (I love doing that)... now days its harder to get away with it as we are such a melting pot now that you actually have to know what you are talking about before you say something to someone in fear they may call you out on it. Anyway, back to the Brooklyn accent.. my mom and dad, aunt and uncle and cousins still sound Long Islandish and I have been caught by my daughter who was raised here in CT to slip up and do the accent thing..lol. I didn't even know Connecticut had an accent until my daughter started saying Floorida, instead of Fla-rida, Thee-ater instead of theater. I was like... wow where'd that come from? LOL... I still say Fla-rida!Soul Stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567062390992596535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646562095417174826.post-18849103486509831522012-01-18T09:20:09.824-05:002012-01-18T09:20:09.824-05:00I'm from New York and people tell me I have no...I'm from New York and people tell me I have no accent at all.
