A language most of us have only heard of, myself included. What I expected was some cross between a Monty Python falsetto and the stereotypical 'snooty' English accent. What I hear is none of that. In fact, the English here reminds me more of a Romance language than of a Germanic language. It's spoken very lyrically and lacks the weight of the Germanic sound.
People articulate beautifully and great attention is paid to fluctuations of tone within the phrase.
The influence of the neighbouring continent can be heard all around and it is quite a lovely sound. The English style of education is quite different from the American style. By the end of the week I was to have all my research done, a paper prepared and be ready to defend it. The English style of education is much different than the American style. In the States, class reading is background reading.
