100 facts in 100 days – Fact 32

I just figured this out today. When I talk to a person who has an asian accent, I speak as if I had an asian accent. I know it’s weird but it’s true. I caught myself doing this today when I went to the Korean store to get some food. The lady there asked me how long I’ve lived in the area and I responded with a total asian accent. I thought it was pretty funny.

Of course, this doesn’t happen with my mom. When I talk to her it’s more like JapEnglish (for those of you who don’t know what this is, it’s talking with some words Japanese and most words in English), but Meesh told me when I was talking to my aunt from Japan, I spoke Totally differently. Pretty weird!

Does anyone out there notice the same things? I know when I sometimes talk to my Jersey friends, I get the Jersey accent going on.

  1. I develop a Texan drawl whenever someone asks me where I'm from. I have never had an accent but that question just brings it out in me.

  2. Get me to South Dakota and a Bud in my belly and I start talking in my old accent. O, yeah sure you betcha!

  3. heh. we used to make fun of my dad when he did that–especially with filipino accents. then i noticed i do it, too. oops. wonder if they get offended when i do it because it's totally subconscious.

  4. @daddy forever LOL it's good to know I'm not the only one. really.

    @the other yoshi wow, i don't know if they would get offended would they? but yeah, that would be horrible! I hope not!
