Why they call you Bert? That just sounds a little bit dumb. :sigh: Sorry if that is offensive. Who wants to call their offspring Bert? :lost:

Something they started when I was like 1 or so. They heard someone say it to their little kid when he was tired. So when I yawned later on the day they said the same thing to me in that accent. Kinda stuck with me. But I don't mind at all. Never have lol

I know but I would always wanna call you Tanya. :laugh: Bert would never stick with me. :sigh:

Well it's pronounced a little different in Dutch then it is in English. Same as my real name. My ex was english (well he still is, but you get what I mean XD) and he has never even once said my name right, no matter how many times I tried to teach him.

:laugh: That reminds me trying to say something that my Finnish friends says. I really am not good at foreign languages. :sigh:

Weird thing was that he had no trouble whatsoever with saying the "G" the way we do, cos he lived in Spain for a few years and it's the same as their "J".

And trying to say stuff in foreign languages is funny =]

Epic Fail! I barley passed my French class my Freshman year. Last year I made a "B" though....so I guess I am getting better...or at least better at fooling the teacher. :smile: :devil:

I can speak English with an english accent just fine, but somehow I don't like doing it. So for my oral exam I had to force myself to speak like that. Got be a 8/10 though (we have numbers, not letters =D)

like the French? Sweetzy they have a 20 scale. But us dumb Americans had to go all 100-ified. Not to mention we use letters. I am a "A" for absolutely idiotic. :laugh:

XDDD

Imo, most American parents are too focussed on their kids getting A's for everything. I'll be happy as long as my kids will pass (just like my parents were).
