The Language of Picard

Recommended Posts

Just watch the movie "LA Story" in which Mr. Stewart speaks English with a horrible French accent and you will know why they quickly dropped the idea of having Jean-Luc speak English with a French accent. <_<

Wonder if Patrick could have done a passable German accent? My brother-in-law Harald (huge Trek fan) is always complaining that there are no German officers in Starfleet.

 

"Ich danke Ihnen, Nummer eins."

"Sie sind willkommen, Kapitänleutnant."

Well he has never played a German, so I don't really know... I'd sure love to find out, though. *hehe*

I only know he has a heavy British accent when he tries to speak speaks German. <_<

I'm going to have to re-watch the episode Family. I don't recall anyone that Picard encountered when he went home having a French accent. His brother and nephew certainly didn't have French accents. Whose to say what type of accents will still be around by that time.

No one in his family had a French accent (well, except for his mother, perhaps... I don't know what kind of accent she has, all I know is that she does have an accent). Nor did his friend Louis. <_<

I don't recall his father having an accent when we saw him in Tapestry so that's another one I'll have to take a look at beside Where No One Has Gone Before to check out his family's accent.

 

Update:

I was watching some of my TNG DVDs tonight and in Tapestry Picard's father has a British accent. In Where No One Has Gone Before, Picard's mother has a French accent.
