| Aussie Accent when teaching
Just to ask the simple question "What's your name?" to my children students leaves them puzzled. It's so much easier adapting to sound like an American at times.
I suppose if I always were to speak with an Aussie accent, then it would take about 8 lessons for students to get used to it. I'll try tomorrow with my first class and see how goes.
Funny, as the other day I called the States and tried to spell my last name. They even got confused with the A's and the I's. Aussies pronounce A as ay and I as eye. This confuses many. |
