      My high school had a German teacher who demonstrated that everything sounds angry in German. When he got angry he would yell, "THE BICYCLE IS RED!" Very terrifying.

      Haha, that made me laugh. When people speak German it does sound like they are angry, whether or not they are lol

      I don't have an accent. But in high school some guy said I sound like I have a Polish accent on some words :huh:
      I live in Canada on the US border and notice "Canadian" accents and "American" accents.

      I live in Wisconsin, born and raised here. I HATE the WI accent, so I try very hard not to have it, but I do slightly.

      Californian born and raised, so I've never been told I have an accent. If I could pick one I'd want to sound Scottish. :wink:

      I have a boston accent at times. :) My dad's from southie and my mom's from revere so it usually comes out when i'm more relaxed (read: drinking or tired) or when I'm around family. When I lived in NC people were always so upset that I didn't speak with a Boston accent when they found out I was from MA.

      Sometimes I let the southern slip out and have that "Jawga" (Georgia) accent but a good portion of the time it isn't detectable.

      I am fairly confident that I don't have an accent. If anything, I enunciate too much.

      Kind of like an American newscaster but not as nasal.

      Everyone has an accent depending on who's listening to you.:wink:

      Sorry to be pedantic about this but, YES, you have an accent!

      "Accent" just means the pronunciation you use. So, unless you don't speak, you have an accent. (And I believe that there are even "accents" in signed languages in terms of there being variations in the "phonology" of the signs.)

      http://linguistlist.org/ask-ling/accent.cfm
      An accent is a way of pronouncing a language. It is therefore impossible to speak without an accent.

      Some people may think they do not have an accent. Or you may think that there are other people who do not have an accent. Everyone has an accent. The term 'accentless' is sometimes used (by non-linguists) about people who speak one of the high prestige 'reference' accents (such as 'General American' or, less commonly, 'RP'), which are associated with people from a fairly wide region and with people of high social class. But these are also accents.

      Okay, carry on. :happy:

      I have a Russian accent
      Oh yes I was surprised to see how people here in US like accents, and I get a lot of "I like your accent" and "where are you from "
      But to me my accent annoys me sometimes :-)
