Languages used to mutter under your breath at people: German, French, Japanese
1.You are a witness of a very serious car accident. You give first aid and you see a group of gathering people. You do not have a cell phone to call the ambulance and you must ask someone to do it.
2.You see a teenager littering at the front of your house. Take a verbal action.
3. You sit in a restaurant. Suddenly you smell gas. Warn the guests and the staff.
4. You work in a company and you have to take 2 additional days off though you have done it twice this month. Ask your boss.
5. You stay at you grandmother who is a bit deaf. She is watching a TV program and disturbs you in learning. React.
1. "Someone get an ambulance!"
2. "Oi! D'ya mind?!"
3. "You smell gas?"
4. "Is there any possibility of getting another two days off, I know I've already had four and if I had a choice I wouldn't but it's rather important. I'll work extra if needed to cover it."
5. I wouldn't react.
As people who have heard me on Teamspeak will tell you, I normally speak quite quietly but I can shout like a true South of the River fruit stall owner if needed I've always thought of my accent as South Londonish although I come from Kent. I usually start sentances with strangers with " 'scuse me mate?" Everyone is 'mate'. Strange how things go like that, but I find that a more London based accent puts people more at ease than a rather posh accent which I can also do which tends to put people on guard, myself included
