| Yeah, there's a guy from South London who woke up to find himself talking with a heavy Italian accent.
The way people form words is a very subtle and complex interaction between vocal chords, mouth and tongue and it is sometimes virtually impossible for a non-native speaker to pronounce some words because it requires that you learned these words or sylables as a child (think of the way that the French pronounce the 'r' in the word 'Grenoble' or the way the Dutch pronounce all those 'ch' sounds)
Apparently, the Foreign Accent Syndrome is caused by partial paralysis of the tongue or the mouth which means that you end up sounding like someone that never learned to use those same muscles in the same way in the first place |
