Actually, sometimes I am thinking about Alabama. A business friend who is thinking about the same said the Huntsville area is pretty nice.
Except for the tornadoes and hurricanes :-(

I know, my wife sure would not like those. We'd almost have to build our own house there, the way they do it in Europe where houses don't just fly away.

That's because of operation paperclip and the sauerkraut hill. Probably most folks there are now 2nd and 3rd generation and the accent might be from childhood when their parents spoke German around the house.

Does he also have an accent?

Same with a neighbor of ours. But it really becomes sad with Laotians where the kids speak English with an accent yet cannot communicate with their parents who only understand Laotian :-(


...my oldest son is fluent in (Mexican) Spanish and Portuguese ;-)


I sure wish I was. It would make life a lot easier out here. I wanted to take Spanish in high school but was told that Latin was mandatory and with all my elected math and physics courses there weren't enough hours left to sign up for one more language. That really ticked me off, having to learn a dead language. A class which I promptly flunked. Talking about motivation ...

Accents can become really messy when you move around a lot. Most people cannot figure out where I came from unless they are from there.

Germans speak German, and when Germans speak German they don't do it with a foreign accent, they do it with the accent appropriate to their class, origins or education. ... There is no way to communicate this appropriately by the actors using 'German' accents while speaking English. ...
