Jerseyy accent

The other day I was riding the bus and this woman standing next to me was talking on the phone in perfect standard American English. I didn't think much of her and didn't pay any attention. Then all of a sudden I heard her switch to Spanish, just as fluent and perfect-sounding. Apparently she was Hispanic but spoke both English and Spanish like a 100% native speaker, a pretty astounding feat actually.

I know some people who came to this country at 10 or 11, sometimes even 7 or 8, and still retain an audible accent. But women have a much easier time with accents than men.

That's pretty much my case. Everyone tells me I sound like a white guy on the phone.

I don't have a mic, though. I'd upload a sample.

When I'm drunk or lazy I sound Spanish. But I can pull off a bunch of different accents, and converse in most major American dialects.

Originally posted by Ian That's one hell of a broad accent tbf we used to live in north notts and a few of them had the south yorkshire accents. It's a good one and whenever we go back it hits us really immediately. great people though. It gets weaker the further down derbyshire you go, chesterfield being quite strong and at my end of the county it's barely noticable.

I actually live in North Notts, but North Notts has no accent of its own, due to the over-powering influence of South Yorkshire.

Where did you used to live?

i'd say i have a pretty general northeastern american accent. i pronounce words like 'white, what, when, where, whistle, whiskey' etc with a silent 'h' i.e. 'wite, wen, wistle, wiskey' etc. an authentic new york accent only slips out occasionally, when i'm frustrated usually.

I still claim I don't have one.

I did, however, make one chick at work think I was British for a couple of weeks until I forgot to turn it on. Busted

Americans are easy to fool. They mistake Aussie and British accents all the time. I don't get why either.

I originally came here with a Polish accent but when I am speaking English you can't really tell. However when I am speaking with my family in my native language my accent comes back.
