Answer 4

I took two speech classes in college to get rid of my Long Island accent. I have been living in Florida for the past 15 years and now my cousins say I sound southern. I don't think they "rememba" what they sound like ;) I disagree because there are two words that southerners pronounce that drive me crazy...."po lease" for police and Jew Lye for July. Arrgghhh!

Answer 5

Coming from Austria I speak german with an Austrian accent. I' m living in Italy and to my ear I speak it perfectly, only to hear:"Where' re you coming from. You seem French." every time I open my mouth. And english, I'm ashamed to say, I speak english with the heaviest german accent I ever heard. I am too shy to roll the words the right way. So I better confine myself to reading and writing in english.

Answer 6

They say I sound canadian/british in the US. In England they place me somewhere in the northern US.

Actually, I'm German, learned English at school and American at home. My African and Asian friends have helped me to complete the accent mixture.

But it also depends, which contacts I had lately, since I easily get used to the sounds.

When I speak German, my home language was "high German", but whatever county I lived, my sounds changed.

Answer 7

I sound "British" to my Canadian friends, "Canadian" to my American friends, "German" to my British friends, and "American" to my colleagues here in New Zealand, whose accent I am doing my best to use now.
This taught me that accents are very much in the ear of the beholder.

When I speak German, native German speakers think of me as "probably British or something like that", with a possibility of actually being an ex-pat German of long standing, somewhere, in the world.

When I speak French, I supposedly have no discernible accent, except when it's getting late, then some anglo-thing creeps in and makes me sound cumbersome.

In Spanish, I sound like some mennonite/ campesino mix kid from somewhere between Villarrica and Caacupe, because I left there when I was 6, and also, that isn't too far from the truth ;-)

My Swedish is somewhere between a crisp Stockholm accent and the odd, vile onslaught of sheer foreign speech breakdown, veering into Spanish, of all things, now and then.

Answer 8

Why is it important?

I came to America 25 years ago when I was 42. Americans usually tell me, I sound "foreign", "maybe English?", definitely "not Joisey". Anyone with German roots will immediately detect that we share a foreign idiom. (It irks the hell out of Germans living in America that I can detect their "micro" accents, down to the level of the town or province in Germany.)

My children do not allow me to speak English, because in that language I sound "artificial", "constructed", not relaxed, not nearly as funny as in German.

PS In England they usually make me an American. It seems I can't please anyone, ever.

Answer 9
