FAYDENE: I find that I have to speak slower when I'm talking because I sense that my accent is slurring particular words and therefore when I'm talking to people in my library world and whatever then I have to speak slower. I talk to my husband about this at times because he's a naturally just very fluent and fast speaker so he doesn't think about people not understanding whereas I'm sort of conscious I'm thinking, 'are people understanding what I'm saying' so I slow down for that reason.
