G.E.C. 18,711 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 His wife is Scottish but he has had it for about a decade now. I had a Lovenkrands video from 2002 actually and he had the accent even back then.If he was just a normal guy on the street you'd never imagine that he's Danish Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet listening to an interview with him earlier he sounded like one of us, it could have just been anyone they pulled off the street for a radio interview.

His burds scottish, so hes obviously picked up the accent after about 10 years with her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonRFC 1,309 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Scandinavians pick up British accents quite quickly, not them all but quite a few Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeWilson 4,670 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Scandinavians seem to almost entirely assimilate the accent and dialect of their adopted English-speaking regions very quickly. It's a strength and a talent, not a weakness. Something us insular Island Monkeys find difficult to grasp.Peter Lovenkrands is also, according to tomorrow's Scottish Sun back-page exclusive, now a financial expert who has Mike Ashley's ear.Aye.

ottoparts 1 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 sandyinroyalblue, on 12 Jan 2015 - 2:53 PM, said:Fraser Aird's Scottish/Canadian accent is like nothing I've ever heard before.As someone born in Scotland who grew up in Canada, I think I can explain this one. After you come to Canada, you pick up your accent from your parents growing up, but you are surrounded by people speaking with Canadian accents, so any words that come into your vocabulary after you come to Canada or aren't' used by your parents or family don't get spoken with a Scottish accent. So you end up sounding a bit stilted. With Fraser it's even more pronounced since he picked it up solely from his parents/family etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
