r0c87 Exactly. Why people are so personally butt hurt is beyond me. Let her live, for fuck's sake. Your life would have to be pathetic for you to rip someone apart for something so small and inconsequential.
Because it's retarded... she's talking like she doesn't speak english... that's how foreigners speak... 0:15.. it's like devolving... I'm all for her being happy.. but not if it's making her delusional. It's like we've passed the point of losing her mind... now her mind is just lost... and you people are like "well if she's happy"... lol she looks fuckin wacked... doesn't seem too happy, if my wife acted like that I'd be like sweety, are you ok? Yet hypocrites like yourself are calling people "butthurt" (what are you 5?)... You seem butthurt yourself that people are criticizing someone who chooses a lifestyle that's typically criticized. Get a clue, you butthurt hypocrite. She shouldn't have chose to be a megastar if she couldn't hack it. Shame on her parents, and shame on ignorant fucks like yourself... you must feel like such a hero defending Lindsay Lohan... theres bigger problems you could be solving hero. Your life would have to be pathetic to sit here, and defend someone you don't even know, that's richer than you.
She is breaking her phrases apart, adding odd pauses and awkward inflections in her phrasing to make it sound like she speaks the same way as foreigners do.
Lived in Japan for a year and my accent changed quite a bit and my grammar as well so it isn't surprising there. My accent shift was due to making it easier for non-native speakers to understand simply by adopting Japanese grammar patterns and limiting pronounciation, I think that is what Lindsay is experiencing :)
Buelligan88 Not at all offended. Since you seem so unrelenting, I'll give you my context; I was an exchange student who was placed in a small country town in southern Japan. The School I attended was below average in comparison to other schools in the prefecture so English was not that great to begin with. I assisted in teaching English in classes and knew each student's English capabilities, most knew individual words but have a hard time translating complex sentences. I would work out the sentences with the students by adjusting the structure of grammar to a more familiar pattern for them or pronounce loan words as they were pronounced in Japanese. I do this because I don't want to give the correct answer off the bat but to teach them a technique, a sort of equation to get from one language to another. I spoke Japanese every other time with the exception for English classes. I even began to forget English after a while as well. By the time I got back home, I didn't intend to sound so stilted with different pronunciation and basic words, stuff like that happens when you don't speak a language that often or at a native level. I don't babble at Japanese people in bad English, I speak to them in Japanese so if that comes off sounding like that them I apologise.
+Buelligan seriously, you need to reread what the op wrote. the only mistake she made was using the word 'accent'. and even that isn't really an error because of context. it's glaringly apparent she was also referring to the grammar and syntax aspects of language construction, rather than just the distinctive mode of pronunciation. given the vast difference between the japanese and the english languages, for example in the use of pitch tones and sentence structures, she did exactly the correct thing in her situation. as another example, when i lived in italy and first started speaking 'everyday' italian, i didn't just jump right in to sophisticated syntax or subtle word play and it would have been ridiculous to even attempt such things. when learning a new language, especially in an immersion setting when the new language is far, far different than one's native tongue, the most effective way to communicate is to start off as a child would. and, just like a child, you build linguistic skills from a sound base. keeping vocabulary and sentence structure simple, when one is beginning, ensures a thorough understanding of the basics. for the sake of the student, and whoever they interact with, using the 'easiest' or most 'translatable' vocabulary is also wise. in a learning process such as this, where the student is essentially starting with a blank page (having to *entirely* relearn pronunciation techniques being just one example) a simple start is logical. what starting off slow is *not* is condescending. starting simply, in point of fact, shows a deep *respect* for the language being learned and/or the language being taught. it reflects an *awareness* of the difficulties that might be encountered and the corresponding desire to minimize those difficulties. it recognizes language acquisition to be a stepwise process which needs to approached with order, method and patience.
+Buelligan88 You're an idiot. Saying things in an "accent" in Japanese is a genuine way of communicating English. They use katakana, a pre-existing construct in the language, to approximate English words, but of course with an accent. So saying words in an "accent" (aka starting to intuitively learn the katakana transcription system in your head) is actually helpful, even moreso if you only use it when you don't know a word in Japanese. This phenomenon of only certain accents being understood because of transcription systems isn't unique. If you go to China, for example, and speak English with an American accent people will tell you your accent is strong and sometimes won't understand you.
I'm a native English speaker and i get an accent when i don't speak English for a while. I feel for her. It's a weird feeling when you start to forget English
@@jayman6151 very late to this, but I think it’s mostly authentic. If you’re in/familiar with the U.S., you’re probably familiar with people who have strong southern or east coast accents that fade as they move away but get after stronger spending time with family. Or the other way around. If she’s regularly switching languages it doesn’t seem out of the ordinary. French particularly has a lot of the exaggerated pausing. Her recent interviews have much less of an accent, but she’s been in the U.S. filming something. At the end of the day I don’t care much why she does or doesn’t have an accent, but as my fiancée is a massive fan and relays updates to me, I do have this kicking around in my brain - so now you know, too. You’re welcome!
@@jayman6151my mom is from Korean n as a kid I had to speak to her in a similar way for my mom to understand, but as her English got better, I can speak normally MOST of the time, but when speaking to older Koreans or like when I went with my parents to visit my moms family in korea I had to revert back to speaking like that cus I only one basic Korean phrases My mom didn’t want my brother n I to learn Korean cus she was afraid we were going to have an n accent n experience the racism she experienced even from my dads side of the family but we lost the lil accents my bro n I had n just had a speech impediment n we were still treated differently by some of my dads family n other ppl Tho I didn’t n speak Korean, as a kid I had to “translate” what other ppl were saying just by speaking differently, I still have to do it every now n then So unless u have experience these things I find think u have a day if it’s her being authentic N yes she is trying to fit in, it’s the respectful thing to do when ur in another country If u don’t speak the language but u still change the normal way u speak in hopes that it’s more understanding its very much appreciated So ya she’s trying to fit in N wats with the negative outlook on this situation literally a person u don’t kno is in a foreign interview there’s a lot of similar interviews were the celebrity or whoever speaks like this Are u that bored or have such a negative outlook of things that ppl u don’t even kno are worthy of ur time to be called I’m authentic n make fun of them for trying to fit in like that’s a bad thing It’s consider disrespectful to not try to fit in another countries customs or culture, they don’t expect ppl to completely convert to their customs but be respectful enough to TRY to fit in The times it is wrong to try to fit in is if u have to bully ppl to fit in, which sounds like ur case, the popular opinion is bashing Lindsey for this but ppl r speaking up saying it not weird or there’s nothing wrong with it, which is looking like it’s not the norm, so u who tries to fit into society n wats popular bully’s Lindsey saying she’s not authentic n also actually trying to say she’s trying to fit in, like it’s a bad thing
I had something similar happen to me. I spent a lot of time in Europe and I was learning Danish. I spent a lot of time in both denmark and great Britain and when I got back to the states my accent would change slightly depending on who I was talking to. if I had just been talking to a friend in London on Skype, I tended to have a (slight) British accent (at least in comparison to all of the cali accents around me!). Same with when I switched from danish to English. it does happen. your mouth moves differently when speaking other languages and it can be hard to switch back on command.
She has been living in Europe for a while so it's not surprising her accent is developing a hybrid accent. Now, she has an accent of what actresses and actors spoke like in old movies.
Contractnik Go search for any celeb or sports stars that ply their trade in Europe, Harry Kewell, Owen Hargreaves...etc and accents do slightly change.
i know when i speak to anyone from another country i cater to their accent and speak way more clearly and slower and don't use fast talking californian slang...my bandmates tease me but in interviews that are going on european or any other countrie's television stations the locals who can't speak or understand our fast english jibber jabber...well, they understand it much more....you GO lindsay!
Of course shes allowed to change her accent. She should just be honest though and admit she changed it intentionally, and not as though its happened because shes apparently learning new languages, given there's so many recent clips where she is talking nothing but straight yank-talk. If she was at least honest maybe some would give her the benefit of the doubt. Fact she is a lying **** makes people not sympathise with her and just think of her as an attention seeking wh*re.
+stranger777 not only has she come right out and said her 'accent' is essentially intentional affectation but she's also 'naming' the accent after herself and planning to sell eponymously branded items. and, yet, despite *her very own admission* people are still attempting to defend the change as 'natural'.
Sam Dawkins i don't contest the fact that whether the accent is genuine one or not. What i am trying to say is that why does it matter what she does?is it only because she is a public figure? Let her do what she wants and not judge her.
+Largesse1000 Even if she didn't want adulation, celebrity, and fame, can she really avoid it at this point in her life? All she's done most of her life was act and make music. It's not like she can drop the career she's developed and become a waitress. Even then, she'd be stalked and talked about in the media. Face it, bro, there's no logic in your comment.
Most of my co-workers speak poor English or don't understand it at all, and for the ones that do, I have to speak very simple English and alter my sentence structure a little. I've been there for 4 years now and sometimes I have a hard time breaking it when I'm not at work. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. So she's not bullshitting.. That's how that happens.
I used to do this too, but I realized it's better to just express myself as eloquently as I normally do. People generally appear to understand what I'm saying better when I'm not censoring myself this way. They may not know exactly what the word means, but we've known for a long time now that words are not nearly our main for of communicating. So when you speak freely from your mind it does paint a better picture, even if some of the exact details are uncertain to the ones hearing it. It will help them adjust to the language too.
Jankins Goro For us it's more important that everyone understands what you're saying or else why bother speaking at all. If we're gunna use words and terminology that nobody understands then we might as well just be talking to ourselves. Aside from that, it's a little rude. When I say "poor English", I don't mean 5th grade level with an accent. I mean having to ask eachother the English word for poquito (small). Many immigrants won't actually admit when they don't pick up everything you said to them because they're afraid of getting fired if we find out they don't know the language well enough. (Or worse, now that Trump is elected.) So rather than pretend everyone understands perfect English and that we can speak as freely and normally as we would to our family, ignoring the fact that most of what we're telling them is going right over their heads, we'd prefer to be sure they have all the information they need to do a task correctly instead of stressing them out because they don't really know it, or finding out later after it gets fucked up.
I speak 5 different languages and have lived in different countries. I have the same issue. You blend into the culture and then their accent starts rubbing onto you and then before you know it you don't remember exactly what your original accent was. She's not bullshitting.
Watching this video and reading these comments absolutely discusts me. I find it funny that ET decided to avoid mentioning what she was actually talking about in that interview. I suggest you go and watch the original video. This is a woman who was put into an unbearable situation and ridiculed at every turn because the media decided to call her a crack head and a drug addict but did she become a victim? Maybe briefly but you need understand that she could have died but she didn't. She decided to turn her life around and had the ability to recover from a potentially fatal time in her life. And now that she working to do some good in this horrible world, all the media can talk about is her accent and here all of you are ridiculing her again because she's a "Crack head" or a "whore" and insulting her appearance when you should be commending her for having the strength to pull herself out of all of that and become a better person in spite of it. I can't say I'm suprised however. Look how the world treated Britney, a woman so obviously in pain and suffering mental illness mocked and humiliated for it. It honestly makes me sick.
im dominican, west indian, and live in America i have like 6 accents. and sometimes i catch myself using my french accent since i learned it recently. i think it's normal
No, she sounds like someone who has transient aphasia from brain damage from all the drugs she's been on over the years. That is exactly the kind of speech pattern you get from that kind of damage
The same thing happened to me tbh, it’s not that uncommon when you’re learning a new language or have been living in an area where your accent is the odd one out to adopt the accent you hear.
I moved in with an Australian a few months ago and sometimes I’ll catch myself saying words like she does,it legit confuses me,it can happen if 24/7 day in day out you’re around someone with an accent,birds of a feather flock together
It's mirroring the other person, I've seen people do it with others inflections as well as their body language, including my own! I feel like it's usually a subconscious way of trying to feel comfortable around the other person or make them feel comfortable around you / trying to be inclusive. Human social behavior is interesting :-)
It depends on where you live. Even after a year you tend to adapt the accent of the people around you, then recover your old accent when you meet your family and old friends again
this happens to me a lot, but i have only french and latin under my belt, with a little bit of spanish. i’ve lived so many places it just kinda mashes up together when i’m speaking english that it sounds russian sometimes lmao
It's not even just different languages guys. Sometimes when I'm around my extended family a lot (who are from Georgia), I find myself leaving with a little bit of a southern twang in my accent, even though I've lived in Maryland all my life. It can be even more extreme when you're using a whole different language. I doubt it's fake guys. Get over yourselves
This happened to Britney - when she was having her full meltdown. But B had the right folks (her southern family) around her to help her rise back, Lilo doesn't and never will.
Yeah that happens to me. I speak Spanish and grew up around alot of fluent Spanish speakers and when trying to translate back and forth between my friends and my family they always tell me when I do that my pitch or accent varies slightly. But I've done it since I was very little and almost never realize my accent change until someone says something. But like I said it only happens when I'm going back and forth between the languages for example Translating my friends mom for my parents so they can understand each other
I can somehow relate cos I speak Bahasa Indonesia as my first language, English second and I can get by with my Kiswahili and am now learning French. Somewhere along the line, my speech patterns have changed from what it used to be.
i find it completely normal especially when you're studying other very difficult languages especially ARABIC (and am an arab and am telling u it's hard for any non arab to speak Arabic fluently)
This is what you get when people who have only spoken one language their entire life and lived in one country their entire life start analyzing someone's speech pattern. When you spend a lot of time in a different country, you tend to unconsciously adopt the accent as well. Some people are better at it than others, but Lindsay could be one of those people who do it without realizing.
It's great. It's much easier for people who don't speak English as their first language to understand, because the words are separated out and each of the syllables are pronounced distinctly. It makes sense to talk that way in formal settings, like interviews. I think more celebrities should do that. It makes sense to talk more informally on platforms like snapchat.
Not news. This is a common thing. A friend of mine moved to the UK. When she's there she sounds British, as soon as she lands in NZ she's back to her kiwi accent. Slang and all.
I have the same issue as her. I speak a few different languages and kinda float in and out of the different accents. It’s all by accident of course but it happens.
I'm from South Africa. Lived in South Korea teaching English where they learn the American pronunciation and spellinv or words..when I came back my parents asked me why I sound so American..It happens that accents get influenced.
Heh... I thought you were talking about Madge from the Palmolive dish soap commercials. And it's not like I don't know who Madonna is, were both practically the same age. You don't have a clue who Madge from Palmolive is, do you? I imagine her fake English accent would have been a Cockney one.
I wonder if LL is a pro wrestling fan. Look at all the attention "Broken" Matt Hardy is getting for his new accent, the result of his broken "condeetion."
I speak three and there is *nothing* normal about what she does in that video. Its textbook transient aphasia due to brain damage from long term drug use
She was in Turkey during that interview...when people talk to foreigners, they will subconsciously start to mimic their accents, it is normal!! People who don't understand this have probably never travelled or mixed around enough with foreigners.
SAME MY ACCENT IS GONE AND I HAVE THIS WEIRD ACCENT NOW IM NOT SURE WHY I can't stop my mouth from doing it it's just because of the language studies I've been doing
This happen.... when I speak Arabic then English, my accent changes..... also if you speak English with Arabs, there’s an accent change too. This is normal 👍
yeah, speaking diff languages does change one's accent... happened 2me... i was born and raised as tagalog-a local in northern Philippines but then my family transferred down-south... ive learned additional 2 more dialects and everyone from the north and south couldn't tell where i came from hahahaha
*Copy and pasting from another reply* The interview she gave was actually about the charity work she was doing for Syrian refugees in Turkey, but ET decided to ignore all of that and focus on something so trivial bc the crazier they make someone seem, the more views they get. I suggest you watch the actual interview in its entirety.
Even just moving from Arizona to the dirty south I developed a bit of a southern twang in my accent that eventually faded away when I moved back to AZ.. not a crazy concept when people live somewhere else for a while
I am fluent in English and Spanish but I catch myself switching from a Salvadorean accent(I was born in El Salvador) to Mexican accent when I speak with some friends. It's not being fake but rather using certain speech patterns for certain people to understand you better.
No she didnt lol educate yourself on how Lindsay cleaned up her life and is educating herself on language and culture. Kim simply steals from cultures. Smh.
Emily Howitt Weaves and braids did not start with black people. It started in Egypt, not the same people and not the same culture. Facts, look it up for yourself.
Happens when you study multiple languages, you constantly have to switch from different vowel and general pronunciation systems. And hers isn't so bad considering.
she's finally actually really for real played her last card. what more can she do,!? desperate times I guess... terrible #WonderWoman impersonation #Lilo. Just be yourself and let the Kardashians make fools of themselves dear. smh

I do this myself. At work, when theres clearly someone having a hard time understanding English. I take out all extra words that would confuse them. And, if, but, or, like, is, etc. And use keywords only. Example "you put your name on list, come back after 1 hour. You will see the doctor in one hour." Not sure if that's what shes doing but I do it and it helps people understand.
