Do you have an accent?

I think at one point, everybody has an "accent" to somebody depending on where in the world they are at.
 
i probably have a socal sorta accent, albeit one i don't really notice too much. i tend to put "likes" in my speech, say dude and hella sometimes.
 
Not that I know of. I'm originally from upstate New York, the capital region. I lived here till I was 8, then lived in Virginia for several years, florida for a year, and then rural Kentucky for 7 or 8 years. Now I'm back in New York, I don't think I've developed any accents. I don't have a southern accent despite growing up in virginia and kentucky where everyone around me had heavy accents. So I guess I just sound plain
 
My friends say that I sound like a native English speaker, and my Spanish has an American accent now, but I still think my English sounds a little bit odd
And I'd say I have a bit of a SoCal accent but not really a surfer boy one

I'm from (the more southern part of) Maryland and I'd say I have an accent when I pronounce certain words. Though my accent isn't as noticeable in comparison to some of the people I'm friends with c:
 
I'm Hispanic but was born in the US and my first language is Spanish. I used to speak it fluently and perfect when I was a kid but as I grew up I had to learn to speak English and eventually I got used to it that I now kind of have an accent speaking Spanish haha. I don't think I have an accent when I speak English at least I've never been told that I have one. I still understand and can spell, read, and write anything in Spanish perfectly but speaking it makes me a little nervous because I feel like the accent is a bit noticeable and makes me shy. o~O
 
i have determined i am accentless. i'm from a town in the midlands in the uk (for others from the uk it's basically the brummie accent), but i don't talk the same way as any of my friends. coming to uni, no one was able to guess where i'm from and people say i don't sound like i'm from where i am. i have what is considered the stereotypical idea of a british accent where i enunciate my words and was called posh a lot as a kid as a result, even though i'm not. but it's very atypical of where i grew up.
 
I'm Filipino, and I'm not so sure what kind of accent I have since I don't regularly hear people impersonating it on television or anything but I suppose we would be close to Spanish? We kind of roll our r's sometimes and use the letter ñ for some words. Compared to an American speaker, we're different but I can't say exactly what, I suppose our accent is a bit stronger/harder when we speak English. My best friend has friends from Australia so she tries to change her accent when speaking to them, and from my perspective it sounds kind of softer compared to her regular Filipino accent, so yeah.

Accent also differs from place to place in my country, I'm a northern speaker but since I spent a fair amount of my childhood far from the north my accent is a little weird or slow compared to native northern speakers who're born and raised here.
 
Absolutely. I was born and living in Northern Italy and the dialect we all speak here is very similar to french, so I have a strong italian-french accent when I speak english lol 😂 :eek:it's pretty awkward to think about
 
Relative to where I live, I don't have an accent. I've never really had anybody mention me having any accent in any voice chats I've done online, so I feel like my accent would be more subtle than anything else and just fall into a sort of generic "North American" accent, I guess.
