Do you have an accent?

[Alienfish]

When I speak English I definitely do since it's not my native language. I don't really have it on my Swedish unless I do it unconsciously I guess haha.

Everyone has an accent~

I learned this after I moved to Australia from the USA and someone asked me where my accent was from. The first thought in my mind was "What accent? I don't have an accent, you do!"

In that case I guess I have an American accent. There’s definitely nothing else in it though. Like at all

I was born in HK but went to international school, and have lots of family in Singapore. Also been living in the UK for 6 years now so I guess I have a mix of an American and UK (London...?) accent

Aussie accent but I'm from the city so... not as outback-y.

Mine is a bizarre hybrid of Glaswegian, London, Yorkshire and Portsmouth accents that people regularly mistake for Irish or American.

I have a Californian accent? I've lived up and down the west coast but in Oregon and Washington people told me I talked funny. At first I was very self conscience about it and asked everyone what they ment. It's partially the way I use and string words together that give off a tell I guess?

Plus apparently Californians are weird cause we use words like "hella"

Yes. Upper Midwest, USA. Cot/caught, merry/Mary/marry all sound the same.

I'm from Oklahoma (unfortunately) but I don't recognize myself having too much of an accent. I don't have the stereotypical Oklahoma accent, nor do I have the stereotypical Southern accent. Thank god, because I don't plan on living down here forever.

I grew up around a lot of southern accents, (US) but as a kid I never wanted to sound like that and was super careful to not adopt a southern accent. Today, I have a pretty generic American accent, without many consistent regional terms/pronunciations. I tend to talk quickly as well, which makes southerners say I “talk like a yankee.”

I have a French accent, but when I speak French I have a Belgian accent and in Belgium I have an accent from my city (Liege)

I’d say I have the stereotypical posh British accent but sometimes can slip into the more local accent when I speak to my friends

Yeah, I grew up in TN, but I also didn't ever want to develop the Southern accent. I retained the MN accents I heard when I was a very young girl instead. When I moved to Joplin, MO in the early 2000s, they all thought I was from MN, not TN. lol.

i'm from the philadelphia area, so. philly accent. since i'm around it 24/7 i don't usually notice it, but every so often i hear myself and recognize it. lots of slang around here too that i didn't even know was slang until i got older

I don’t feel like I do, but I’ve been told otherwise. I’m from Canada but I’ve only lived in Alberta and Ontario which aren’t really much for accents (vs say, Newfoundland or PEI) but when I’ve voice called with a friend from the States she insisted I sounded Canadian lol. So there’s that!

I think I have a basic London accent

I've been told by some that I sound like I have an accent from the Midwest. I was born on the west coast, though.

 

[Celinalia]

i mean i'm pretty sure i have as i am from germany. most people here don't have the 'stereotype accent' from movies though. 90% of us can pronounce the th sound and it doesn't sound too weird in general. i'd say my accent is not as thick as it could be since i talk a lot to myself in english and watch a lot of american shows/youtubers!

 

[mogyay]

from where i am from in my country i have a very mild accent, but to anyone outside of my country then i'm sure it probably sounds like a really scottish accent

I currently I have a basic American accent, but my accent can be influenced very easily based on who I spent time with.

In high school I was around someone with a New York accent (Long Island) and picked it up a little bit, then when I went to college in MA, was around someone with a Connecticut accent for a couple years and kind of picked that up too. Now that its been a year since I graduated and I am back home I think my accent has reverted to just basic American again.
