standard North American with no regional accent

VinVenture · December 2011

I'm usually a standard Londoner, Oxford when discussing subjects or politics, abit off NA without region when I'm joking, goofing off or similar. A great advantage to second language, I can theoretically learn anything

I'm starting to pick up a bit of a weird accent on some words from my flatmate though, she's norweigan/english and sounds american on some words...it's odd. And now I'm starting to sound american.

FML :L

I have no accent. I'm from Western Canada. We speak clearly here (no, really. I remember reading somewhere that we Westerners have the clearest speech in all of English speaking-dom - accent wise).

I love accents because they're different, unique and soothing (in the case of drawls). I'm used to people who speak like me so when I find someone who speaks differently it's fun!

When I get around my family I DO tend to pick up a bit of an accent but I would be hard-pressed to identify and/or name it. It's ... hillbilly I guess. Hahaha. but I only slip into that when I'm around family.

I want to hear some of you talk!

Mines midwest with a slight southern drawl. I really try not to use it but when I get excited or drunk it happens. :laugh:

I know aye! Would be pretty awesome to hear some of these accents!

And yes I have a strong aussie ocker accent haha!

i think you should make a Youtube video.. just saying.

Little bit of Canadian, eh? LOL... we don't actually say that as much as the stereotype. :explode: It's mostly used in questions, like someone from the USA would say "huh?" That's all. Oh, except one thing...

As once SO FAMOUSLY stated in a Molson Canadian Beer Commercial..... :bigsmile:

"I'm not a lumberjack or a fur trader. I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled. And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice. I have a prime minister, not a president. I speak English and French, not "American". And I pronounce it about, not aboot. I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peacekeeping, not policing. Diversity, not assimilation. And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal. A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch. And it is pronounced zed, not zee, zed. Canada is the second largest landmass, the first nation of hockey and the best part of North America. My name is Joe, and I am Canadian!"

AWESOME!! Eh!

My friends call me the Ecuadorian Valley Girl.

I was borned and raised in Ecuador, so I have an south american accent, but after living in So.Cal for a long time I aquired the beloved "like" "dude" "sweet" lingo in my vocabulary, so its pretty perfect that now that Iive in AZ I'm the Ecuadorian Valley Girl.

I'm English and from the South West of England. Those from the SW of England are sterotyped as having farmer style accents, but apparently I'm exceptionally posh, so who knows! :laugh:

Aussie (pronounced Ozzie) or Ossie as the Americans say

Specifically Queensland-ish, apparently we pronounce our double o's a bit difference to the southerners like our Pool is Pewl, and theirs is Pull :glasses:

Brooklyn NY accent, I moved out of the city into a more country setting but Its crazy the different terms let alone accent.

adsumodo · December 2011

I've gotta wicked good Mainah accent

KayakAngel · December 2011

Middle Tennesseean with a smooth Southern accent, not country. Weird thing though - my son Conner has been playing games on XBox Live with a group of English boys for nearly a year now (way too many hours!) - they've become good buddies. Between that and too much time watching British Top Gear, he now has a Southern accent but with a British cadence sometimes, especially when he's on the headset with the English boys. I find that fascinating. I probably need to get out more.

dubist · December 2011

had a British accent till I was 20, now my accent is like a regular californian with some odd british Aussie or chinese slang words thrown in here and there

catshark209 · December 2011

I have HELLA a Northern California accent. When I get angry, however, my Cali spanglish comes out.

MadeOfMagic · December 2011

I have russian accent, people often think I am british/autralian/german, lately it's been more british than any other! Hated my first 2 years here cause thats all that people would ask me everywhere I went, I would get asked where I am from like 1-4 times a day. Once I say I am from Russia they either ask if it's cold there (what do you think? yeaaa, duh) or say something about communists, I have been asked if I am a communist a couple times. I didn't even know communism existed till I learned it in history when I moved to US. In Russia "communism" wasn't discussed, in fact I never heard the very word till I came here, the only thing you would ever hear there is old people talking about "hard" times referring to that time period.
