I had a young friend who came to this country from BudaPest to work as an international counselor at a church summer camp. His name was Peter. He spoke three languages fluently; English was not one of them and part of his design for coming here for a summer was to improve his English skills. His English was so thickly accented as to make it difficult for us native speakers to understand. Most of the English he had learned was from BBC radio broadcasts. On occasion, he would entertain us all by perfectly imitating the perfectly-Engish accent and delivery of the broadcasters: "This is the BBC Overseas Service."
