English Accent

Just finished a phone call with our British colleague, and I just LOVE the British accent!! It is so much more gentlemen-like than US ones. Have read an article, it says Americans should take language class to re-learn the skill of mastering a language. As you can hear over 27 times of 'like' and 'you know' in a short conversation.

He said this while searching a file, "Would you bear me a second while I look up this for you.." Hmm.... I felt like speaking to Hugh Grant... hahaa~

P.S. We have a cleaning lady who comes in to empty the paper bin and vaccuum the carpet every day. Maybe Thai people are born to be optimistic, she obviously tries to get the most fun out of her job. She will say she comes to collect presents every day; when her garbage bag was overloaded, she says she received lots of gift. Just now a tiny paper laid beside my paper bin, she had to bent over to pick that up, she said "做咩你蝦我呀? 明知我個肚腩咁大."

No matter what we do, attitude matters.
