Accent



mi'e la silvEn.oklEr.

I want to add that one of the games when we encounter a new face at an
international Esperanto meeting is trying to guess which country our new
acquaintance comes from, hearing his/her accent.  It's not simply a matter
of sounds lacking in one or another language.  There is an /k/ sound in
French, in English, in German and in Dutch, but it's not _exactly_ the
same...  And it is very difficult for most English speakers to pronouce
_clear_ vowels, as the ones in lojban.
