Something must be done. I think our conversation is considered to be OT. We ought to start writing PMs.

(When the idea of going abroad came into my mind for the very first time I desperately wanted to go to France, then to England, then to Scotland- and eventually, Ireland. Which doesn't mean I like it less. Even more, as it's been my final choice for two years now. )

To stay on topic I would love going to Scotland.
Like that I could learn the Rose's accent, even if she has more a London posh accent.

I love Rose's accent! It's very unique.

So far she's my favorite too.

I love her accent.
And what I find impressive is the difference between her real accent and the North accent she uses in Downton abbey and Game of Thrones.

I didn't even notice there was a difference in her accent on D.A. vs. GoT.

No, Lindsay you misunderstood me.
She uses the same North accent in Downton abbey and Game of thrones but it's really different of her real accent.

Hope I explain it better.

Same. I still can't recognize the difference. I thought she sounded all the same.

Really? Because the two accents are different.
To be honest I'm pretty bad with English accent I just can recognize when the accents sound very different like from different regions. And it's the case with Rose IMO.

I'm bad with European accents. Sometimes I can tell the difference with Scottish, English & Irish and then there are time where I couldn't tell, as is the case with Rose. I had to Google (back in S1) to know that she's Scottish.

I'm bad with accents in general (I only can recognize the different French accents! ) but Rose really makes a difference when she talks.
So I was surprised too when I saw she's Scottish and not from the North.

Do you have different variations with French? I'm just curious (and I know this is OT) because I know Chinese has variations and my mother tongue Filipino also has variations.

Yes in France like everywhere I guess we have different accents with the region where you live.
In the North there are the "ch'ti" accent (maybe you know the movie) who's very different of the "midi" accent, the South accent. And the South accents are differents if you are from the west south or not. Also there are accent who tends to German in the Alsace-Lorraine.
So yes we have many accents!

More on topic: love this pic.

She seems to wake up of an enchanted dream.
