So, do you? And if you do, were you born in the U.S. or in a different country?
[I haven't met anyone that was born in the U.S. and had an accent]

I do.
At least...that's what some of my friends say. It's really...light though. I wasn't born in the U.S. so maybe that's why.
Is it possible to get rid of an accent?

Well, discuss?

lol. yeah
my accent changes coz i move alot
i used to haff perfect english back wen i was a kid
but i went bak to malaysia and stayed for a year in my hometown.
and i picked up a kelantanese malay village-lyk accent.
then i moved to the city and my malay got sorta hippish.
and my english got tangled up wid a bit of malay. lol.

i was born in the US. i don't have an accent. although, my friends sometimes make fun of me because they think i have a southern accent but i guess that's bound to happen when i'm born and raised in the south

o_o.. i have no american accent but lately i've been talking european-ly

but i have an accent in korean!! i think i have a slight.. american accent when i talk korean..

but not only that.. people have been telling me i have a country accent too! i guess it's because both of my parents were born in busan.. so i picked up that accent from them T_T!!

Oh, and my cousins in Vietnam say that I have an accent when I speak in Viet too. =3=
They were like "it was soo funny to hear you talk at first, but now I'm used to it" xD

[cherrierus]

i think my only accent is a slight texan accent. born in texas
you can probably tell because someone "trained" me to start saying ya'll
i lived in california for a while and picked up there way to talking. when i moved back to texas they noticed i was saying "you guys" and decided to make me say "ya'll"

when i go visit Cali i ask them if i had an accent and they said no. new people i met there didn't know i was from texas...from the way i speak

[hammy_chan]

nope...i'm called a twinkie because of that... LOL

[latina]

i lived in the philippines for 17 years..

it's my 3rd year here in Canada... and sometimes, I still talk with an accent. Especially the r's, for exmaple.... i say Strrraw instead of straw. haha

[msLyn]

different dialects, different accents


Before I moved down south from New England, I honestly never knew that there were different accents in the U.S. o_O Then when we moved, things changed. I started hearing, "Hey y'all" and all that stuff.

Apparently, there's the Chicago accent, Boston accent, NY accent, southern accent, midwest, etc etc etc !

[LindaDoll]

YES I DO.When I speak English, Cambodian, Korean (fangirl phrases!), and Spanish!! My accent is horrible. My teacher was even freaking out at me because I mispronounced "Esteban" today in philosophy class! I need speech classes.

[Pogichinoy]

[lisaaa]

i live in brooklyn, new york. and yet, i don't really think i have that "accent" everyone says that brooklyn or new york people have. i just talk regular, i guess? lol. i dunno. maybe i might have an accent to someone else's ears, but to me, i don't really hear it.

[she-smiles]

i'm american born.
i was born in california, but raised in the south.
whenever i meet people from other places (other than the south)
they say i have a country accent.
hmmmmm.
