Just Four Words
2007.03.05 3:14
One foreigner visited our premises. I was able to hear only four words when I crossed his team members that comes from Tokyo headquarters. Even just a piece of language he speaks can tell everything from his educational backgroud, his native country, his family background. I was ablle to know from the four words he uttered.
His parents are Dutch -he didn't have a particular accent that native American usually have and also from his surname, he was raised in east coast -yet his pronunciation was relatively clear so, his education was probably master of business administration -judging also from his position.
Hahaha...no one can say whether it's wrong since I was the only one who heard his words. What was his words? It was 'ten o'clock thirty minutes'
In European people it's much easier to tell, but it's often hard to do so in the case of Americans.
