Basically the BBC accent, RP is how newsreaders speak. . .the national ones anyway, not local news obviously Back to top njf61 There Is No Hope For Me Joined: 02 Aug 2007 Posts: 1047 Location: Illinois Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:10 pm    Post subject: skittlebunny wrote: RP or received pronunciation is accentless English.

So I knew before. When I got that google-Alan-alert I thought I would share it with you. I hope someone is going to watch the play and tell us a lot about it. I have tried to read the play, but I really did not manage to read this. That doesn't happen often to me. I can handle difficult stuff. But that, sorry Marie, I don't get it. _________________ Alan Rickman('s) Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

(although I think those people must be crazy, I don't sound american at all!) Haven't we discussed this before? or is it a case of deja vu?

I am actually not familiar with the play, but there was a version of it shown on tv here not too long ago. I will try and see if i can get my hands on it, and approach it the easy way - watching instead of reading! Some of Strindbergs stuff can be really difficult. I watched his "Ett Drömspel" (no idea how to translate that) on stage some years ago. Honest to God, I didn't understand anything! It had gotten great reviews, but I don't think the critics got it either...

I was hoping I would be able to make a little trip to London to see it, but I don't think it's gonna work out! Why, oh why am I not rich??? Does anyone happen to know a single millionaire looking to settle down?

(although I think those people must be crazy, I don't sound american at all!) Haven't we discussed this before? or is it a case of deja vu? yea, we have had this discussion before! but, to me, most accents, and especially English or Irish, are just fascinating. (although, I guess I'm so used to my boss, who's from Ireland, that I don't notice her's anymore. I made the comment to my family one day that Cathy has lost her accent, and my family all started laughing at me and said, "no she hasn't!) _________________ ~~~Nora~~~ Thank you Centurienne for the banner!
