Furthering the spirit of language studies through movie-watching, what I have learnt so far on proper spoken kansai-ben:
1. Replace every ‘ない‘ by ‘へん‘.
2. Don’t say ‘とても‘, ‘ほんとう‘ or ‘ちがう‘, but: ‘めっちゃ‘, ‘ほんま‘ and ‘あかん‘…
3. Throw in loud ‘ほら‘ (with a throaty roll of the ‘r’) at random intervals in your conversation.
I’m totally ready for my move to the countryside.
