You should, you could either have taught him about tims, or showed him some snow. Good choice!

Edit: Just noticed you live in BC, so you could have shown him some rain instead of snow..

Edit2: hes from south africa, so I'm sure hes sick of rain. Yet another reason you chose well!

Too bad Tims is American owned (same company that owns Wendy's), damn free trade.
But I'm curious if anybody but Canadians understand how rolling R's got us talking about coffee?

It doesn't rain a lot where I am. It rains like hell on the coast but I'm in the interior.

I'm liking all of the Canadian content that has flooded the boards lately.

I can do it without the saliva but I am also part French so I don't know

[atra201]

i don't think it's got to do with the saliva
it's just an accent

Hehe, personally I think the hardest sound for me has got to be that damnable triphthong uei, like in the verb "cueillir." That's got to be at least 10 times worse than the "ai" diphthong found in the word détail (which, the few times I've heard her full name spoken, seems similar to the sound used in the last syllable of "Jacotey"), which drove me crazy for a while itself. I still have to think about what I'm doing pretty hard to get that triphthong in the right spot - the U, and most of the R's, I have down now (I think).

It's only a diphthong. Try cueillir (or only "oeil") in this link: http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php#top
(choose Juliette..French, it's the most accurate)

No, there's no diphthong in Jacotey! I know English-speaking people will do that (like in Alizée). And "-tey" is far from sounding like "-tail" in détail. Try both in the link above too. "-tey" is like English "get" without the ending "t". "-ail" is like "I".

I will never call her Lili on the forums, that's a name reserved for her close friends. As much as I want her to, she doesn't know me. I can only hope someday I can be part of that special group.
