Introduction to the Slavic Languages! We covered the changes from Proto-Indo-European to Proto-Slavic to Old Church Slavonic already -- now we're studying the different dialect groups, starting with the West Slavic ones. Polish has some wacky phonological rules, man!
Also, it is really very weird, listening to voices of people from onine. Slightly disorienting. Like, I have all these preconceived notions of how people sound based on what they write, and my notions just BROKE. I do not know WHY.
(At least now you are on the same level as RayK. I had the same problem when I finally watched canon, after having read truckloads of fic.)

Dude, me too! The accent wasn't what surprised me, though I've heard that's what gets a lot of people -- I just was expecting his voice to be a lot deeper, somehow.
Precisely! I dunno why I thought it would be deeper, it just. I dunno. He sounds twelve, he acts like he's twelve, he looks like he's twelve -- okay, the vague scrawniness that seems to come and go, not the tattoo or the forearms. Like, Ray in See Is Believing. Not in Mountie and Soul.
OMG! Me too! And I'm still getting used to it, because--in my slow but steady way--I have just recently started watching S3.
What's weird is that I saw Wilby Wonderful beforehand, and I was still totally shocked when RayK opened his mouth for the first time. Now I have to rewatch WW--was his voice really that different, or was I just clinging so stubbornly to fanon that my brain refused to connect the dots? *g*
(Joe Flanigan's voice threw me off, too, when I started watching SGA. Oh, the perils of fanfiction!)
Your voice is so sweet; thanks for posting. Congrats on what your professor said. Yay! (I wuz an English major a zillion years ago, and I remember a little Middle English pronunciation. Not Old English though. I think you're so cool.)
I hadn't caught the part about the Slavic languages; just saw it now in the comments. But I've sung in the modern versions of many of those languages, and for Polish? We needed lessons. LOL
(By the way? You're so right. Ray and Fraser *are* in love. :)

I couldn't quite make it out, though--what's the class after your Old English class?
