    I recently met a guy who could tell my nationality from my accent (at the end of a few words that had nothing to do with where I’m from). I had no idea there was something like Turkish accent, but apparently there is.

    Don’t we love our “a” “e” and “r” Turkish accent is one of the very obvious ones I think.

    I am so happy to hear from you Anjelica! Are you going to make comics about your travel adventures?

    funny :)

    in vienna, i went into a coffee shop and said “hallo”. the owner immediately started to speak english. well, i have a very broken german. but still, how come? i asked him. he told me that it was not the accent, but the tiny gap after the “hallo”. he simply could deduce that i hesitated making small talks in german from a nanosecond of silence.
