Comments on: Second language, second personality http://slowlybecomingcanadian.com/2014/04/02/second-language-second-personality/ Doing my best to blend in Thu, 13 Aug 2015 11:38:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: John http://slowlybecomingcanadian.com/2014/04/02/second-language-second-personality/comment-page-1/#comment-340 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 21:02:11 +0000 http://slowlybecomingcanadian.wordpress.com/?p=144#comment-340 This is so true to my experience, growing up in Anglophone Nova Scotia and living for 21+ years in French Martinique, with a hiatus of twelve years ailleurs. I also speak Spanish functionally, but never having actually lived in an hispanophone country, I don’t really know my hispanico personality, although I’m sure it’s a lot more laid back and fun. :-). I asked a friend about my accent in Spanish. It’s the same as in French : from somewhere else; although, on the phone, people think I’m Martinican. And when I speak English in Yarmouth, I get the same comment. Siempre de fuera….

I’m sure that would be true!

Probably becase I’m more confident with my English now.
Glad you’re enjoying the blog!

I have spoken English all my life and I do have a slight accent I find people are interested to keep conversations going .. Sorry your experience has been different . I got you are probably interesting based on your blog … That’s if we are taking votes
