Just got an email from my language-tutor about my presentation 2 weeks ago and apart from him thinking it went really well (although I was shitting myself with nerves) he said this:

Anouk, firstly, I think your pronunciation is among the most excellent in your year and perhaps among all BA-students. Every year there seem to be maybe 2 or 3 students who've got English pronunciation down in all aspects, and I think you're one of them (I have another one in my first year and two in my second year who sound, genuinely, like natives). Simply excellent!

w00t! I am super chuffed. I was always afraid my English might seem too fake or put on or something. Yaaay. Sory, I just had to share. :D

That's at least 1 subject I don't have to worry about anymore. Now there's 3 to go!

Senk joe verrie mutsj. :D

The weird thing is I've always done a lot of English writing (and/or typing, whatever) but hardly any speaking.
So I have no idea how I got the accent, as it sure wasn't by practice. Maybe I used to be English in a past life.
I have crooked teeth and don't react well to sunshine... Those are very English traits, arn't they?
