Airports and accents.
My window shutters are slamming against the outside wall of my house because of the wind. These days the weather is like a fall weather. I live in the Picardy region, north of Paris. A good number of people goes to work to Paris. The international 'Charles De Gaulle' airport is situated 35 kilometers away from my location which is good because when I go abroad I don't have to go through Paris and I avoid traffic jams.
When I want to travel inside Europe, or to Morocco, I can go in a smaller airport, 20 mn away from my location and pay cheaper flight tickets.
I plan to go to Ireland with my older brother and my nephew, who is 4 years yonger than me in order to spend a weekend. So I guess we'll go to this airport to take off (the smaller one, called Paris-Beauvais Airport) and we'll be in Ireland in half and an hour.
I such love English that I'm interested in discovering different accents within the English-speaker community.That is why I'm used to watch accent tag videos on YouTube to compare the differences between accents.
I don't want to offense nobody but as I said in a prior post, the Cockney accent is very 'sketchy' and (it's my personnal opinion) I find it hard to understand.
New Zealand accent seemed easy to understand to me because it's pretty clear. Irish accent seems particular but I guess I can manage to understand it.
These days, my daughter is constently asking for watching videos of herself... She's 2 years old and I guess it is the period of 'vanity'.
Last time she sat down on my lap, carresed my right cheek and told me 'You're so cute!'. I was blown away because I couldn't remember me having taught this phrase to her! Sometimes she says 'Oh my gooood' because I noticed that when I watch TV programs, the characters may say this phrase pretty often.
Yesterday I started to watch 'Gone Girl' and I'm so happy because now I'm able to understand the dialogs but it's easier with earphones on. Because I hear really clearly what they say.

This is an excellent notebook entry. I am surprised you can hear the difference between accents. When I listen to French, I cannot hear the difference between the Belgium, Canadian, or French accents. Friends told me that Paris has a different accent than Toulouse. Is that true?
What are "accent tag videos"? Are they available for French accents?
