Guest Kahori Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I was born in South Africa but moved to the Uk when I was little. The accents have merged to form something quite strange- sorta posh british but not! It would have been cool to keep my South African accent as I sound quite normal now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest o0ohenryo0o Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I was Asian born, people tell me I sound hick-ish. Not my fault I grew up in a small redneck town. (sadly). I`m trying to fix that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest .oOLimOo. Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 How is it possible to not have an accent? You speak, right? Of course I speak. Accent: the unique speech patterns, inflections, choice of words, etc., that identify a particular individual: We recognized his accents immediately. She corrected me in her usual mild accents. To him I shouldn't have had an accent due to the fact that we both spoke with a southern-American accent. Think of it this way . . . let's say you're British and you randomly say to your next door neighbor who was also British and spoke with a British accent "I like your accent." It wouldn't make sense since that's the way you hear people talk everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuroxkitsuneX3 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Everyone has an accent. Since when is there such a thing as accentless? ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bcgirl5549 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 No.. I don't.. Butttt my friend & i can do amazing Indian accents (: Puahaha thanks to watchin Russell Peters since the 7th grade... We're in 10thgrade now ...HAHAHA lol yeah gotta love Russell Peters XD Even though my family is Indian me, my brother, & sister mock the accent haha. The one accent i have the most trouble understanding is the British. My whole mom's side of the family is British and we'd always ask them to repeat what they said, and they just love our Canadian accents. Except we don't do that "eh" thing >_< i wonder how that started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KAITOU KID. Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Mine's like tourettes. I usually don't have one (as per se), but sometimes when you least expect it, BAM. Then everyone gives me the wtf o______O'' look. Followed by laughing. Lots of laughing. ;__; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applemint Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I don't have an accent, at least not anymore. Probably because I was born here in the US. In fact my parents complain that I've become 'too american'. ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justaddclouds Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 born and raised in massachusetts xD slight boston accent but i can control it so i guess i have an american accent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rooraa Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 It's so weird!! I'm born in raised in California but both of my parents are full vietnamese so I suppose my first language was vietnamese however when I entered kindergarten (and probably before then) i was using more and more english and began to forget the vietnamese language. I didn't notice I had an accent until my 4th or 5th grade teacher sent me to speech class becuase apparently I have a problem pronouncing my "r"s, they sound more like "w" and sometimes my "th" sound like "t" now at the age 16, I can hardly converse in vietnamese becuase I don't know how to say anything and I have a thick American accent. When I'm speaking english, I have that weird accent and it's odd that my two brothers don't have an accent but my twin does too =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy_keen404 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I was born in Texas but raised in Illinois. Just took this quiz for american accents And apparently I have a BOSTON accent?! Well on the bar level junk, Midland was a super close second (by like a fingernail) So it's probably really Midland. Hopefully? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Unseen Choice Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I actually have a southern accent with a little of that drawl when I speak from the time I've been in boot camp, I don't have much of a Boston accent at all from what people have told me.

Guest kikkie Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Nope, no accent (even though Canto was my first language). But when I'm presenting, I might stutter and forget what I'm trying to say (which, interestingly enough, doesn't happen when I'm presenting in Spanish).
