Re: Why do Canadians have such a think accent?
I live in Sweden, but am from the US, so my first language is English. My wife is from Japan, so her first language is Japanese. Our kids have been in Sweden most of their lives so Swedish has become their dominant language. They are both five and can speak English pretty well, except aside from talking with me, they don't really use English much. I got a bunch of DVDs for them to watch in English; one is from Canada. It's about a little turtle family - anyway my kids have now started saying sOrry (pronounced with a strong O) as opposed to the way I say the word which is more like ah.
Interesting how we all have variations isn't it?
Thank you,
