Actually, I dearly love a good discussion of language and pronunciation and 
all that!

I've often felt that one of the best ways one can cheaply build up their 
persona experience within the SCA is to learn a few pithy and/or useful 
phrases in the language of their persona's choice.  When I taught a schticking 
it up in Welsh class at Collegium Borealis last year, I gave the class a 
handout with all sorts of phrases (and pronunciations) from "I love you" to 
"Hi y'all" to "Euwww, you're English!!!" :-)

I have a similar list for German ....  :-)  Only the last one is usually  
"Euwww, you're French!"

With tongue firmly in cheek, but with list actually in hand,
