footnote : Ola Magnell has already made Sundown in swedish (for Lill Lindfors) beside some more examples like Gösta Linderholm made Early Morning Rain and Ann-Kristin Hedmark covered If You Could Read My Mind.

Ways of Talking about How you Talk

777



Trying to get a grip of different accents

since I realize I'm changing accent depending on who I'm talking with


and Miss Cupcake gives a good, entertaining map
of at least english language(s)

by maybe imitating the imitations by Amy Walker
which I didn't knew about until now.
