Your husband has empathy Hoof Hearted .

What you say about maxilofacial surgery is extremely interesting . I always tell my students to change their faces when attempting to speak unfamiliar languages . I tell them to keep their upper lip immobile when speaking Spanish for example , or to pout their lips when speaking French . For a reasonable R.P. British accent , they have to imagine their mouth is full of marbles . The list goes on .

Language is about sounds , after all .
