I've got what I consider to be a neutral accent.
Most Brits I meet think I spent some time in American while the Americans I've met think I spent some time in Britain.
Whereas back from I'm from, Singaporeans think I speak with an 'overseas -educated Hong Kong' accent while in Hong Kong, I'm told I speak with an 'overseas-educated Singaporean' accent, which would be spot on, except that my accent wasn't affected by my time in London.
On another note, I speak French with a French-enough accent and Mandarin with a slight British accent.
Go figure! |

Hahahahahaha its alrite tho, my ex lady lived in Norwich and i would go down there bout twice a month, god, it was hard work because they couldn`t understand me whatsoever, i had to speak really slow and pronouce words properly.
On our nights out around Norwich City Center i would get really funny looks of the bar staff when ordering a drink and people asking me whats my accent and where am i from, got the impression that not many northerners go around them areas :haha:
From my experience southerners talk really, really, really slow hahahaha and i carn`t stand the scouse accent " Ey Ey mate calm down like eeeeee am eatin mi beargur like "
Suppose " going for a walk " around here would be a " trek, gooch, mission, mooch, wonder or mooch " plus i dont say my " H " in words like
House will sound " Ouse " etc etc
I like some American accents tho :D |

HA! Well imo French accents aren't hot, regardless of how hot the person who has the accent is. It's just brutal. If you're speaking French you usually sound really nice, but once you switch over to the English language, lord have mercy on your ears. |
Don't get me started on Quebecois French.
Most of the time only words I can understand is tabarnac and colisse :p
But my dear Frenchie, you have the cutest accent now, ever since you learned to speak civilized ;)
As for me, standard Canadian eh. Well, most of the time... Sometimes I do clip some of my words so they sound disjointed instead of flowing. |
