Some nostalgia
This I found in my diary. My first "Oh Henry!" bar and I was hooked. You could not buy these in Holland at that time (1959). I was actually in Metz, France where my big brother and his family were stationed on the Canadian Army base. On January 11 we all went to the movie including my niece Nellie and nephew Geoff. The movie? "High Society" all in English and that for a girl with basic knowledge of the language.
I also went to a party on New Years eve with my sister in law Willy. I did not like it very much it seems, because I wrote: "These Canadians have such a heavy accent I could not follow them!"
Because the English I was taught in College was British English.

I wonder what kind of accent I might have, Born in The Hague ( accent in Dutch) I followed the "Cambridge Proficiency" in English course...talked mostly with Americans... ? Tell me.
Like a Dutch girl speaking Canadian.
