@ Vix: Yeah, I guess his is a man as you say. ^^;

@ Arkk: Ooh, Quebec! Do you by any chance speak a bit of French?

And no one says caramel like I do, or at least none of the ones I've listened to yet...

Arkkath 04-07-2011 07:37 PM

I speak a little, it's kind of sad how little I speak actually xD
I'm probably one of the most english people in Quebec despite being part french canadian ^^;

Vix Viral 04-07-2011 07:37 PM

How do you say it, Zig?

zigbigadorlube 04-07-2011 07:38 PM

@ Arkk: Aw, I was hoping you could chat with me in French. >.<

@ Vix: Um... I don't pronounce that second "a" so it sounds like "car-mel". Much less melodious than the way the "caaramel" people say it.

Vix Viral 04-07-2011 07:40 PM

That's pretty much how I say it.

Arkkath 04-07-2011 07:41 PM

Awww that sucks. Even if I was more fluent, I would be speaking Quebecoise.
It's very very different than France french lol

zigbigadorlube 04-07-2011 07:43 PM

@ Vix: Kinda... Everyone I've listened to has said "aaaunt" too. I say "ant". I shorten a lot of my words to make them sound the same as other words I think. The same thing goes for "Mary" "marry" and "merry". They all sound the same when I say them. I guess I'm just lazy with my pronunciations.

@ Arkk: It is but still understandable for the most part. I speak France French but I watched a movie where they spoke Quebecoise and I could still understand it.

Vix Viral 04-07-2011 07:45 PM

I just meant about the caramel bit. All New Englanders say "car-mel" or the variation "cah-mel/mul".

zigbigadorlube 04-07-2011 07:46 PM

Yeah, that's what I said "kinda" to before going off about the difference in the way I say "aunt", LOL!

Arkkath 04-07-2011 07:47 PM

Yea for the most part you can get the gist of what's being said, but then you'll run into to people that are talking in Quebec slang and you'll just get lost lol

zigbigadorlube 04-07-2011 07:47 PM

The slang where you get lost in any foreign language. >.<

Arkkath 04-07-2011 07:50 PM

Haha definitely true.

zigbigadorlube 04-07-2011 07:50 PM

Sometimes even in your own language, LOL!

Vix Viral 04-07-2011 07:51 PM

Slang can be fun. I don't know if the same things happen in different French dialects but when it comes to Spanish, we can get into a spot of trouble...Especially when it comes to the different ways of saying cake, one of which also basically means "pussy" in a certain country :lol:

zigbigadorlube 04-07-2011 07:52 PM

LOL! I've learned some words in other versions of French but haven't really encountered any trouble spots like that.

The Aussie shows himself!

zigbigadorlube 04-07-2011 07:56 PM

Oh, is that where he's from? I couldn't figure it out from the accent.

Vix Viral 04-07-2011 07:59 PM

I know all of Inso's secrets :ninja:

I want to do this, but I don't have a working microphone.
Shame really as my accent seems to be a common debating point amongst those who know me (my university class once spent an entire week discussing it.) I'd like to hear other people's opinions on it. XD

I'm Welsh but apparently my accent is a bit of a mix - most people say I don't sound Welsh at all. It’s mostly a mix of various English and American accents according to others.

My voice is also ridiculously deep for that of a woman. D:
As I can't record them, I'll answer your questions here. :)

Their accents, in my opinion, are the best.

zigbigadorlube 04-07-2011 09:17 PM

I think they're interesting though I'm not sure I'd say they're the best. *Shrugs* I definitely liked listening to Inso though. *Nods*

Elluh 04-07-2011 10:49 PM

I knew instantly that Insomniac was an Aussie. But then it doesn't help that mon-thur Nelonen plays Animal Rescue (which is from Australia)
Nelonen is a Finnish television station that I can stream a live feed from. ^^" No I am not Finnish, and the shows that are in other languages- they subtitle.

Oh yeah. Hi! I am thinking of doing this. I don't know when yet since I live in a college dormitory in a hallway full of girls. ^^" There is a lot of loud talking in my hallway. ^^" Plus I live with a bratty roommate whom I don't acknowledge the existence of. but would like not to cause anymore drama. :P

at this current moment I am getting a little cough (school stress) and I shall say in advance if I do this, I have a kind of high pitched voice and a nasal Rochestarian accent (I'm from Rochester NY) but I do pronounce some words with a little bit of a Canadian accent. ;P
