Nope Carole, I am serious. If I heard you, I would wonder what part of the USA you were from and I hear a hint of *something* but I would not think you were from another country at all! Good job. The first part - you sound like a Californian with a bit of valley girl. I could hear more at the very end that sounded british. Some words maybe a tiny bit off but you would pass. You must hear us on the news and stuff
