Definitely not the Australian . my jaw will break and my vocal cords will wear out at an early age.
Why did you train so badly?!
It’s just as bad in spanish. I’m an american with a colombian paisa accent in spanish and it messes with the mexicans. They love it since it’s not what they usually hear.
Whenever someone who speaks Spanish asks me if I speak it, I always respond, “Oon pokeeto, paro solaminty en oon assento Gringo.” Gets either a laugh or a groan every time. 😈
I think Americans usually learn Mexican Spanish. That’s definitely what I learned, güey.
My accent is a mix of all these three, plus the effect my friends from India have hd on me
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
USdefaultism of this post should be used in The International Bureau of Weights and Measures as the metrics for all other USdefaultisms.
333 million Americans, 67 million Brits, 26 million Australians.
1.4 billion Indians. So what?
They’re talking about native English speakers. Did you really not get that? There are also a lot of Chinese people, try yelling that out of context, also.
English is one of the official languages in India.
Even if only 1/10 of Indians grew up speaking it alongside Hindi or one of the other official languages (it’s a pretty big and varied country), it still adds up to 140 million people, so the previous poster has a valid point.
this post is about native accents. choose an accent (from native accents), normal, fancy or wildcard.
sorry, I re-read your post this morning, I missed when you said “official languages” for some reason. I take your point
Let’s be real here, we usually just stick all of them in a blender and pour ourselves one glass of perfectly mixed accent juice
This! My English accent is so all over the place, I can’t even spot the differences if I hear them. I can’t tell, If someone is British, American, Australian etc because I mix them up so much myself
I’m quite found of accents myself, like that SS officer in the bar scene from Inglorious Basterds lol, would love to have a conversation and dissect it
I’d mix everything just for kicks :)
I’m not even aware of what my accent sounds like. Probably a weird amalgamation of everything.
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 and you make one of your own.
Here in finland we also have our very own thing: rally english
I have read British and American books galore (i.e. thousands), and I’ve listened to English (BBC, BFBS) and American (AFN, Movies) audio sources. My vocabulary and accent is a wild mix of both, so the British consider me American, and the American think I’m British.
Oi cunt!
The bogan talk fits my gopnik soul like cat’s pyjamas
American, have considered immigrating just for the ability to use this phrase on the reg.
I don’t think you choose, it’s just kinda what you grow up around
OMG our usernames can be emojis??
It’s a cosmetic thing. @mojo@lemm.ee here has set a display name in addition to their username, which I believe supports any unicode character.
Phew. I thought this could lead to Unicode in URLs, which can get nasty.
Steal?
arrives late….
Cunts….
I chose Russia (despite being born in Germany and not of Russian heritage). It just sounds more badass than a German accent.
