Optimistic Nut Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I wasn't as bad as that mind but I was guilty of a French twinge when I spoke English in France like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It happens to me, too tbf. After returning from a Newcastle trip where I spoke English and only English for 4 or 5 days, I really have to think again about some vocabulary in German.

Superior Acuña Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 How on Earth does that happen easily? Nah, that's ridiculous :lol: Maybe not quite as exteme, but I definitely started talking a kind of disjoined english when I was living in Chile, due to a mixture of trying to be understood and picking it up from all the disjointed english around you. It's fucking hilarious though, especially from him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I go to Barcelona a fair bit and unfortunately do something similar when speaking to my mate from there. Actually thinking about it I do re-arrange the words but don't put on an accent like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Barton being your manager...... Would probably do better than what Pardew is currently though....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 it would be super cool if he was actually taking the piss but unfortunately I think it's for real. What a tool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Its weird, because i wouldnt want to give anyone TOO much credit, but if anyone is on the pulse with media perception enough, it would be Joey as far as players go. He must be aware of Schteve and thought he would have a go. Anyone else i would assume it was real, but Barton kinda puts a bit of doubt in my mind.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You can certainly spot the less-travelled forumites whenever this stuff comes up I never really understand why people get so much stick for this stuff. If you've ever spoken regularly to people who have English as a second language you'll know that it really helps... especially for people with strong accents. It's a bit weird I suppose, but I wouldn't ridicule anyone for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Just been griefed by George Alagiah It does sound stupid but you do it, we'll I never did the accent but spoke far slower when in in France. Unlike the French knobs, who spoke full pace even when I asked them to repeat stuff slower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It was the speed which told me he was putting it on. Yes you can get the accent but he was speaking it a ridiculous pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
