Foreign characters

I know players who make foreign characters often represent an accent (as well as costume, obviously). Do you also use the words from that language? I’m not asking whether you speak it :laughing: (ashamefully recall my own attempt to talk to Daphne’s character in French at Ravenholme, when I discovered I know no French at all :blush: )
Plus, do you mention some tips related to the culture, not to the actual language? Like, “oh, back at my homeland in Bavaria we drink coffee this way”, or 'When my grand-grandfather was serving the Chinese Emperor…"

'Allo 'Allo did this well… :smiley: :smiley:

“I was pissing by the door when I heard two shats. You are holding in your hind a smoking goon. You are clearly the guilty potty!”

“They have had a direct hot on the pimps!” “The pimps?” “The pimps! The pimps in the pimping station! No water is being pimped through the poops!”

“The troon carrying the sissage has been bummed by the RAF. There are little pissers all over the track.”

“You must get your hands on silk knockers. At least farty, maybe fifty.”

“I am mauving in a ginger fashion becerrs my poloceman’s pints are full of dinamote!”

:slight_smile:

For people like Aiwe who probably don’t know the reference, he’s quoting from a television program called Allo Allo which was set in France during WWII. They represented the different languages by having the actors speak in English with atrocious accents. The most atrocious was the English spy who didn’t speak French nearly as well as he thought he did.

Actualy it was the police man.

Um i try to slip words in when im being a forienger

Just little things… Slang terms and stuff…My tip is to watch a movie with that culture in and try to steal slang if you can.

Yes, the local policeman who was an English spy.
