DÍDIMA READS
_______________________________________________________________
by linguistic enthusiast guest blogger Dan Ahern


Everybody loves a European accent. Why do you think we put up with a warp core breach every freakin' episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation? Because Patrick Steward talks us through it, that's why. Science has proven that listening to soothing, European accents causes our brains to focus better, improves listening skills, calms the nerves and leads to greater satisfaction with life. Actually I just made that up, but it sounds right, right?

Lucky for all of us, Dídima is a Spaniard, and is thus gifted with a Spanish accent. To let this go to waste would be a crime against humanity's ears. And so, we present to you:

    "Hello my favorite Spaniard!" -me
    "Tell me. How many Spaniards you know? Me." -Didi

    She tells the truth.
