Language geek - Take 1

I've wanted to post more dialect for some time and last night I had a little chat about accents with [livejournal.com profile] kiviraat on Twitter and thought I could post little audio files of me talking in Italian and dialect, just to show the difference. And while I was at it, I recorded the same sentence in English and German as well, just because. I chose the sentence "Today I went to the baker's and bought two rolls" because [livejournal.com profile] killer_ameise once said something about it being a sentence that reveals a lot about your origins. Sorry, I don't remember why, was it because there are a lot of different ways to say bread/rolls, depending on where you come from?

Anyway, here they are. The volume is quite low, I hope you can hear something. If not, let me know and I'll record them again.


Italiano: "Oggi sono andata dal panettiere e ho comprato due panini."

Brianzöo: "Incöo sunt andada dal prestinée a tö dü michett."

English: "Today I went to the baker's and bought two rolls."

Deutsch: "Heute bin ich zum Bäcker gegangen und hab zwei Schrippen gekauft."


Is it just me or does my voice sound different when I speak in different languages? o_O

omfg, dialects.

Dialects are brutal to us foreign kids. XD I've taken German since '05 and I still can't understand any dialects aside from the -sch heavy Sächsisch.

And now I'm gonna take French and have no hope of anything aside from textbook French hehe.

Dialects are impossible to understand. We have dozens of them here and I can only understand my own. XD
