I’m guessing it’s still mostly imperatives? ;D

Unless there’s a really strong accent accompanied with grammatical mistakes, anything can sound as if that’s the way English is supposed to be pronounced.

My accent is pretty neutral given that I’ve lived away so long etc. Gamma’s pronunciation, well, she’ll have an Austrian accent sometimes, but often I think any “accent” or mispronunciation comes more from her still learning the language than having an Austrian accent.

I’m curious how accents work into this whole thing, too. I mean, if the kids grow up hearing you speak english in… well, typical, non-austrian accent, how do they end up speaking it? I wonder, being that from what you’ve said they don’t really speak it very often with you even. Hmm.

I’m a curious little monkey. ;)
