NZ Love #5: My NZ Accent VLOG!

Hiiiii!!!

I've been thinking about the NZ accent lately, especially watching NZers speak on the news broadcasts about the Christchurch earthquake, so this week for NZ Love I thought that instead of sharing something tangible from NZ, I'd share my NZ accent with you! Haha, lucky you! :p

I've been thinking about doing a video blog for a little while anyway soooooooo here it is! It's my first one eveerrrrr and I felt like a dork talking to my computer and trying to remember what to say.... but this is it :)

 

Haha!! Sooo hard to think what to say, and I said 'ummm' too many times, will try and work on that for next time :p Thanks for watching if you did, and let me know if you could understand me if you're not a New Zealander!

P.S. I am SO excited!! Tomorrow is New-Tattoo-Day! EEK!

aahh, I adore you! I could understand you perfectly. But, I'm from California and some of us have a habit of being fast-talkers, too. ;) I LOVE New Zealand accents. You're so cute! xo.

Oh, wow, I love your accent! I am from the Deep South (born in Louisiana, raised in Alabama, now live in Memphis, Tennessee) and I never think that I have an accent (but you know of course I do). I have a BFA in theatre so it was literally beaten out of me, but when I get around my mama the Southern-ness comes roaring out. Lawdy, y'all. xoxo
