What about your accent?

quote:

Let's face it: native speakers or not, we all have different accents in English (specially non-native users, since we mix up american and british english). Anyway, what does your accent in English sound like?

My pronounce is the standard British accent, but...

1) "bed" and "bad" often sounds the same (Most Brazilian teachers talk this way)
2) "th" rarely becomes "f" or "v" (I fink vere's somefing wrong wiv me, hehe - it's normal to do it here though)
3) "because" often sounds like the American way (the "au" becomes "uh")
4) And I almost always pronounce all the letters in the word "used" (sounds like "you zed" - once again, teachers' fault )
5) I often say ",eh?", eh? I'd rather say "nay" instead (it would be just like my native lang) but I guess it would sound too weird, nay?

hmm i dunno about my english, but when i went to hong kong the kids there who i taught ESL to thought i had a cantonese accent

i dunno, i have a weird british accent
oh well
i can fake many accents, rofl [dont flame meh] i can mock american n australlian accents!

i talk like Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons

i talk like the average canadian.....yes we do say eh....

Funnily enough, it's British. We say everything how it's supposed to be said

no
the aussies bend their words, a good example of a aussie accent would be steve irwins [sp?]

'crikey! thatsa biggune!'

british is ponce
'hello dear boy, i'll take my tea on the tray'
'and he said mushroom, har har haar har har'

Well look at the little flag to the right and guess.

hehe, nice examples. thanks I've got a doubt about British slangs:
To nick - to steal (?)
Tart - B*tch (?)
Mate - friend or everybody you know (I always hear: Hi mate! Cheers mate! Me and my mates...)
Mint - !?

Any others?

yup i speak like the average canadian. i can do almost any accent. But my polish is gettin a bit weak. like ppl that speak fluent polish would notice...cuz ive lived in canada most of my life soooo thats why.

im from the midwest of United States, in Indiana. people here usually talk really fast, but its kinda hard to notice any kinda of accent. usually i saw my "o's" like "augh", but nothing too out of the ordinary. its kinda hard to describe

I dont have an accent. I just speak proper english, boring huh, wish i had some exotic accent. oh well.

Hehe. I talk like Cleetus from the Simpsons.

my accent is a pretty broad derbyshire (area of UK) accent)

when i first met spad (who is a southerner) he could hardly understand what i was sayin!

demonstration:

"hello dear, im just going to the shop, ill be back soon!"

turns into

"Ayup mi duk, am just nippin t'shop, i waynt be long"
