Ze Ruby’s français accent iz very good…
I give up… Can’t do it.. -_-”
The French accent was so good and funny. It is so true that some Singaporeans react how mb react the first time. Very ‘native’.
mb’s second reaction reminds me of a certain hotel opposite Millennia Walk where they walk you to the toilet..
Totally enjoyed it.

I meant the podcast.. Not the ‘escorting’ to the toilet.. Hahaha..

Great voices all!
It’s not easy to reproduce accents as you need to have a good listening ear as well. :-)
Kudos and bouquets to Ruby and Mr Miyagi…

Hilarious!!! Totally dig Ruby Pan…she’s great and such a pity she’s going to be a teacher. She would make a great commedian! On the other hand, her students are going to adore her!
September 5th, 2006 at 2:45 pm
Yes, Ruby did a great job… I work in a French company, when I heard Ruby, I thought I heard my colleague in France speaking! I believe Ruby is a multilinguist? She knows the phonology and phonetics of the French language, that’s why she is able to do what she does - apply those to English and you’ll have French-accented English.
September 5th, 2006 at 4:03 pm
Great stuff out there! Ruby, you rock big time!!! I take my hat off!
You guys really make my day bright!!! Hiam.. not Hump..
September 5th, 2006 at 4:22 pm
Alamak! What’s wrong with you people, since when the French are native English speakers Lah! The native language of the French is French Mah! Don’t you know? The Gahmen thinks all White men are native English speakers. Can you don’t be like them, or not??
But Actually Hor, your podcast is so Funnnnny. LOL.
September 5th, 2006 at 4:35 pm
My compliments to Ruby. Saw her first in the ‘talkingcock in parliament’ clip was was totally amazed at her verbal dexterity and ability to switch from one accent to another *snaps fingers* just like that.

Like I think the angmoh native speakers tot wait you say want to “take along” that kind of “take” instead of “eat” that kind of “take”. Out there is got native speakers or not hah? Who know the answer? Say leh… but donch use the English cheem cheem one can?
