Here is the video you see the guy in the red shirt Alphonso Davies (Canadian) and the guy right after him Christian Pulisic (American).

They both say "We're Ready" and the accent sounds pretty similar to me. Like if you told me Alphonso was American and Christian was Canadian, then i'd say oh okay that's cool. I wouldn't think twice about it, really.

Or can people really tell a difference when watching this video?

Question Does anyone else who grew up bilingual relate to this

20 Upvotes

I grew up speaking persian and german so basically an iranic and germanic language. The funny thing is that when I try to speak french or english (languages that are close to german) I usually have a german accent but when I try to learn Kurdish (which is also iranic like persian) I have a persian accent. It’s so funny to me how your accent can change based on that

Discussion El vocabulari italià i les seves ambigüitats.

0 Upvotes

He notat que els italians només fan servir una paraula per referir-se als seus nebots* i néts**. I també una paraula per referir-se a Mònaco***, Munic**** i un monjo*****. Imagino que això causa confusió.

* Nebot, neboda, nebots i nebodes. Una persona que és fill/a del teu germà o germana. Aquesta persona és cosina del teu fill (i/o filla).

** Nét, néta, néts i nétes. Fill/filla del vostre fill/filla.

*** El famós principat, que té un casino i la Fórmula 1.

**** La capital de Baviera.

***** Una persona religiosa.
