I agree with DH. But...I have a problem, in that when I spend any time in a country where the rhythm and dialect differ from that I learned at my Mommy's knee, I start speaking with the "new" rhythm and dialect. That is to say, in Ireland I'll start speaking with an Irish accent (and even that will change from one part of the country to another), in the American South I'll start a Southern one, etc.

This is not meant to mock or try to fit in, but it's totally unconscious. My youngest brother does it too; he learned Japanese this way in about a month (total immersion, though).

So, what do I do? I don't want to seem like I'm trying to be something I'm not, but I do like many songs which are in dialects not my own.
