RE: Impressions from Home / Eindrücke von Zuhause
Yes I remember that from my visits there, New Zealand is equally narrow in places just a few hours max to drive from one Coast tot he other across the island, but of course we have no neighboring countries
My father has been to New Zealand some years ago. He was hiking in the mountains, and he told us, how beautiful the country is, but don't ask me more, because it's too long ago ;)
New Zealand isnt a big country but it also only a little under 5 Million, there is plenty of forest and natural scenery and is truly a very beautiful country even though I may be a little biased saying that
New Zealand is you home and it will be always your home, no matter, where you are. So, it's very alright, when you are talking good about your home country :)
And it is a very beautiful country - I have seen many photos and some movies.
Ohh yes so true you can take the Kiwi out of New Zealand but you can't take the Kiwi out of a Kiwi
It truly is such a beautiful country
That's a nice saying you can't take the Kiwi out of a Kiwi, but it surely is true 😊
Ohh yes inde3ed, except when I used to go back to New Zealand and I would get teased about how much of my accent i have lost
Your accent adapts to the dialect. I notice this myself, because where I live now they speak a very different dialect compared to where I grew up. Over the years my language has changed, but when I realized, that I am talking to my parents like a tourist, who came for a visit from the city, I began to develop my language back and now I speak mostly, like I learned it 😆
That's different from NZ to US, I know, but your words reminded me.

That’s so true plus for 30 years I have worked in a multinational environment so I think rather than picking up any one accent most be has become a more neutral one
But that’s said it’s funny as although my accent is a lot weaker now I still get asked a lot where my accent is from and I feel funny answering NZ as it isn’t really an accent from there anymore
