well they did have their own language until we fucked them out of it
But you already said American
They’re a lumberjack and that’s ok!
Why choose when you can just randomly mix them
Just choose Australian. Tbh we don’t care how you say it just be loud.
Just call them prawns, that’s all we ask.
*scrimps
What do you put in razors? Rise up lights!
Oh boi, I’m too introverted to ever be loud
Think of it more as a whisper, just loud enough to be heard :')
No no, I speak a combination of the three. Although American English dominates my accent. That’s what you get when you grow up watching English-speaking media. You pick up their accents.
Oi cunt!
The bogan talk just fits my gopnik soul like cat’s pyjamas
American, have considered immigrating just for the ability to use this phrase on the reg.
arrives late….
Cunts….
Ooooo, which is which!
I’ll never tell
That’s just evil. Anyways, I made popcorn.
I got mine originally from TV, as in my country everything is subtitled, so that means I ended up with an americanized accent (it isn’t really an “american” accent because there is no such things as an american accents but rather several).
It was of course poluted by my own native language (portuguese, from Lisbon) accent.
Then I went and lived in The Netherlands for almost a decade so my accent started adding dutch “effects” (like a “yes” that sounds more like “ya”, similar to the dutch “ja”).
And after that I lived for over a decade in England, so my accent moved a lot towards the English RP accent. In fact I can either do my lazy accent (which is the mix of accents I have) or pull it towards a pretty decent English RP accent if needed for clarity.
By this point I can actually do several English Language accents, though mostly only enough to deceive foreigners rather than locals - so, say, a Scottish accent that will deceive Americans but Brits can spot it as not really being any of the various Scottish accents - including the accents of foreign language speakers in English (i.e. how a french or italian will sounds speaking english or even the full-force portuguese accent when speaking english, which I don’t naturally have anymore).
That said, IMHO it is very hard for somebody who grew up in a foreign country speaking a foreign language to fine tune their accent so that it sounds perfect to the ears of a local, and this is valid for all languages, not just English.
i pick English canada always
American with “eh” it is.
Depends where you are, we do have an accent but it’s really hard to find people with it now
Really? Because everyone on Trailer Park Boys and Letterkenny has it. And I say that as a northern Minnesotan.
Can people not tell the difference between them and the out for a rip song guy/Bob and Doug?
And yeah, you’ll know the accent but in Toronto people just sound and act American
i use cookie and biscuit like they mean different things
cookie: has chocolate or hazelnut
biscuit: has jam, has arbitrary flavors like lemon or has no other flavors
My English accent usually depends on the most common accent in the podcasts I’ve been hearing that week
I don’t think you choose, it’s just kinda what you grow up around
I’ve got 'em all plus the indian scammer one >:D
I’ve done so many accents at this point I don’t even know what my real accent is anymore, but people always think I’m actually from New York or New Jersey until I start talking.
i’m no expert in vexillology but even i can tell that that’s a c- at best
They’re getting a new one! https://youtu.be/lFwwo0W5Ugg
My accent is a mix of all these three, plus the effect my friends from India have hd on me
I have a buddy who learned English as a second language early in life and he has a fluent Irish accent. I’ve never been able to wrap my head around that one.
I’m Canadian in Ontario and the first five years of my life, all I spoke or heard was my cultural language Ojibway-Cree. I went to school where I learned English but continued to only mostly speak my language.
Then I spent an awkward period as a teenager speaking English with a Native accent … a classic TV stereotypical Native accent and it was horrible. It took me about a decade to get over that phase, now I speak English as boringly as any Canadian. Not bad eh?
Have you seen Reservation Dogs? I’ve heard that Willie Jack has a Canadian Native accent, is that the case?
It’s always so interesting to hear surprise accents.
I once took a short trip through the south of Germany near Nuremberg … we were just on a random trip not knowing what we were doing in a rental car. We stopped at a gas station to get gas and got some help from an attendant, a young German teenager who spoke some English.
He talked to us in the weirdest accent I ever heard … a combination of English with a German accent and a touch of southern Texan or southern American. He had grown up learning English from army personnel from the American US base nearby.
