You said you moved to the US after you had been in Germany for 6 years then a year or two in the UK. I noticed that your accent tends to be British leaning, what made you feel it was more natural to retain the British accent over the US one? Do you think you would have more of a US accent if you hadn’t gone to live in the UK for a few years? Thanks Ryan!
@BaltzerBoy Thanks for the question! I imagine it comes from doing a lot of code switching at a younger age. Additionally, I learnt to speak English from my mother and she is from the UK so that probably helped me retain it over the years in the US. Interestingly, I have three brothers and each of them speak very differently, especially compared to my own accent. I also moved to London 6 years ago and have spent a lot of time with an international cohort of friends, which made me anchor to a more regionally perculiar accent over time.
Favourite episode so far :) in Dutch we say "eet smakelijk" before meals or when we see others eating. Before a meal it's also a cue to start eating and actually impolite if you start eating before others/ before everyone has said it.
Now that ive been living for 4 mo ths in france i completely agree with what yall are saying its crazy how sometimes i catch myself almost singing but it is just the intonation that everyone is using around me😂 or te fact that when i switch ro italian i say stuff like bah oui😂
los3r thinking… he is not native speaker of those languages hence, its expected to have an accuracy of 90%. But he will be able to communicate in the majority of the situations while you will continue with your mediocr1ty as the majority of humans in this world.

Love that! Do most Dutch people still use that before meals, or is now viewed as a bit old fashioned? I wish we had an English equivalent.
Just found this channel in my recommendations and i actually feel lucky. I enjoyed every minute of this, great podcast mates.
This ep is so good, and nice to hear some Thai here and there lol
