I certainly have an accent. I reside in the UK, however I am Scottish. To be precise I stay in Glasgow.therefore I have a strong Glaswegian Accent. Although English is the "mother tongue" of the UK, The accents vary from different regions, as do the pronunciation of words.

I have achieved level 2 in British Sign Language (BSL) I found it a great source of enjoyment to learn and use, as the deaf community appreciate,hearing people attempting to communicate by signing. BSL has different signs according to where you live,just as hearing people have different accents. I hope you try learning BSL as I know you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Personally I tend to find that speaking a foreign language the hardest. Whilst reading or writing, comes easier to myself. I believe the reason for this is confidence,as you may read or write something several times,until you are happy with the results.It it different when speaking as I feel that you only have one attempt to get it correct.

When texting I tend to use proper English, including comma, capital letters and the correct spelling of all my words,not shortcuts.This has become a source of great amusement,especially among the younger members of my family and friends.

I have a long list of "English" movies,however my favourite has to be 50 First Dates. In my opinion there is nothing bad about this film.The story line is unique, the soundtrack amazing,the cast are awesome. This movie has me laughing ,crying and I never stop smiling from start to finish.50 First Dates is definitely a feel good film.

I am guilty, of over using lol. Most of my friend ,really hate this, so I tend to scroll back ,reread what I have written, then immediately change some of my "lol " to hahaha or hehe.

I would love to learn to be fluent in Russian, My great grandparents were White Russians,and my grand mother,managed to recall some child hood songs, but not much of the language. Therefore I would love to be able to speak Russian, and perhaps go to Russia, to attempt to trace my family tree.
