Hi! Back with a short video, the accent tag! I have gotten a wide range of guesses as to what my accent sounds like. Let me know in the comments what you think!
FYI, I attended an American curriculum school for a number of years and finished High School in South Africa, so I might have a mix. Let me know what you think!
PS the Afrikaans phrase for when the sun shines and it rains is "Jakkals trou met wolf se vrou" which means Jackal marries wolf's wife. :D
