an american guy moves to england has a baby by a english girl?

Question

if a american guy marries a british girl and lives in england would the child speak with a british accent? (most likely,huh? since everyone else is british n thats the main influence on speech patterns...) or will he speak with an american accent? (very slight possibility) n since the american guy is only 18 when he moves to england cud his accent change? to a british one ?

Answer 1

I think both the child's and the american guy's accent would be british due to the surroungdings...after a period of time...you will adapt to your environment subconsiously...trust me on this....I have friends from american over in singapore using the singaporean accent(singlish)

Answer 3

I know both britons in america and americans in england. Their children speak with their parents' accents when speaking with their parents, but outside the home, they speak with the accent of the country they're living in.

Sort of like being bilingual, but with only one language. They can conciously switch between them too, of course.

Answer 4

the child would most likely speak with a british accent. the guy would speak like always unless he lerned to talk differntly or used british words like mate (= friend).

Answer 5

the child would talk british english ... and the american guy would probably start talkin british english after some time

Answer 6

individual accents are learned from the environment. it has nothing to do with how your parents spoke. if that kid is raised in England he will speak like them, not you.

Answer 7

the child will sound like the people that he/she grows up around

Answer 8

Is this really important to you???
