    That could be useful. Maine touts itself as the “Vacation” state. If you’re there on, let’s say, a vacation, it might help to speak the local dialect should you need some advice or assistance.

    An excellent life skill to cultivate.

    Spent five days in Maine in 2019. A pleasant vacation but very limited in the hospitality industry and things to do unless you wanted mostly outdoor stuff to do.

    Took the drive along the east side to Acadia. Most frustrating experience to find that the route is all two lane. It was either pine trees or very small towns e route.

    One trip there is enough but it is safe, clean and people were hospitable as necessary. Would recommend it to the younger outdoor adventuresome types or the Gray Panthers who want serenity and a slow pace at any point. Also, cheap lobster dinners when available.

    Here’s the rule of thumb for speaking like a Mainer, or Main-uh: Put the “r” sound where one isn’t, and don’t say the “r” that’s there. Examples:

    Jon-er and the whale (I actually snorted aloud in church when I heard that one!)

    Jay-uh-MY-er. (Translation: Jeremiah)

    SAR-hoss (sawhorse)

    AH-chuh (archer)

    KAH-tuh (Carter)

    I’m a Southerner living in Maine for 23 years.
