Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way

Je dois passer en français pour ça. Je me penche sur la question de l'identité linguistique dans la périphérie de Bruxelles. J'étudie une minorité francophone qui ne possède aucun droit à parler sa langue dans aucun cadre officiel dans sa propre commune car cette minorité habite en Flandre. Mes que...

Re: The Innovative Usage Thread

I heard someone say their dad got deployed today. I though he meant his dad was in the army or police or something and was being sent off to some sort of war or incident, but he actually meant he'd lost his job.

Re: [ɜ] and [œ] in English for NURSE vowels

I pronounce NURSE as [ɞ˞ː]. To my ears [œ˞] sounds more American or Bristolian. I find that some younger women in my area (Welsh Borders) pronounce it, as well as the start of the diphthong in GOAT, more towards [œ].

Re: The Innovative Usage Thread

Here in Britain, we tend to use 'you lot' or, more commonly, just 'you'. However my friend, who has lived in the country all his life, tends to use 'you guys' instead... I like to use 'you lot' when talking to one person just to confuse them... :evil:
