I can read pulpy Southern dialect like a pro now, thanks to Kyle Onstott & Lance Horner. :D

Day Taylor spelled out the dialect in The Black Swan and Moss Rose, both slave dialect and southern drawl. Onstott and Horner make every sound like crackers.

Bertrice Small got me acquainted with French, particularly the phrases "droit du seigneur" and "le petit mort." XD

I am pretty good at handling all of those in romance & mystery books and picking it up when watching movies. Couldn't actually speak any of them but when they're tossed into books here and there, I have no problem knowing what they're saying.

Had a bit of an issue with the Kiowa language in a romance I just read where the hero was, natch, a Kiowa warrior who didn't speak English and of course the heroine was his white captive. But it didn't keep me from enjoying the story.
