I like hearing accents. I used to ask those I met who had an accent (even New Yorkers!), “Where are you from?” or “Where are you from originally?” Now I ask, “How many languages do you speak?” That gets a better response. My X-ray tech said, “Two! English and Bulgarian.” I asked, “You been there?” She laughed and said, “I was born there!” (she did not add “dumb ass”!) We spoke about the beauty of her homeland and a recommendation to go for a visit. She then asked with a knowing wry smile, “How many languages do you speak?” I responded with a smile, “I’m an American, just one! But I’m also Irish so I am fluent in sarcasm.” A fun short time in X-ray with a possible trip to a new place, maybe!
