Accents

[China]

Yeah, you know the ones. Those things that make people talk funny hurrr hurr. :3

I really like them, I think they're fun to listen to.

no really!

My mom had the worst Korean accent, I thought it was kind of funny. We had like, I dunno some sort of wooded area behind our old house and she couldn't say "woods" instead she just said "ood"

x3 meheheh.

Yanno those people who are good a mimicking accents? Yeah.. I'm not one of those people. I'm so bad at it. I have like, a "Inland North" kind of accent. I pronounce things as they should be, and enunciate everything very carefully. Like, right out of the dictionary, kids. Nothing fancy. . 3.

Despite living in kind of the south-ish..? (I don't really consider where I live to be really "southern" but there are some rural areas that say otherwise...we're really more in the middle.. kinda. I live in KY, if you absolutely MUST know.) I cannot mimic a southern drawl. I've tried and sounded really stupid in the process.

I cannot mimic the different northern American accents, Jersey Boston, blahblah...You know. I can't mimic a British accent, a German accent or anything.. not really. I just can't do it! It's just like.. fail. I can't even really mimic an Asian accent very well.

There's only one accent that I can do really well, and that's a Russian accent. Which is really weird and totally left-field. But I can rock it. :D

I was talking to a friend I have in the UK, and she kept telling me how I talk so "American".. I didn't know what that meant. Because to me, she was the one with the fun accent. >w> The Latin teacher at school is Australian and he talks really fun. He's a nice guy too. and He has the Awesomest tie. omg. I know a few people with lisps, and I think those can be cute, actually. c:

Anyway, fun accents, lisps...whatever. Can you do dem? O:

lol I can't do accents well either. Only British ones.... kinda lol

Well I live in NY and I don't think I have an accent that would be expected like... a Brooklyn accent or a ghetto accent or something like that.

I love listening to accents though. I think their hot ><

[America]

I don't have any accents in my speech normally, but I sometimes slip into a British accent when I'm speaking. Overall, the way I speak is British like though I can get rid of it whenever I want. I am able to do an Australian accent...not very well though and all of my other accents are atrocious. Especially my southern drawl and German accent.

I am able to mimic Asian accents pretty well, especially Japanese accents. When I speak in other languages though, I carry a heavy Japanese accent...especially with French though it generally sounds better than alot of my other classmates. My French accent is alright though I can only do it slightly.

For the life of me though, I cannot mimic a lisp. D'':

[Prussia]

lol oh I can do an okay lisp. Lol anytime I try to speak a language thats not english (whoops almost typed american there... >< guess Alfreds rubbing off on me) I have a spanish accent because thats the accent i'm used to using when not speaking english. Lol well accents are hard... their definitely something you have to hear often to really get right.

Ehehe, I like doing lisps. It is absolutely fun, especially when talking to my friends. They're always telling me I sound like a child, although I can't see why. :>

I have a friend of mine who is Korean, and she and I like to pronounce a LOT of things with an Asian accent, especially a Japanese accent. While we're actually trying to say "candle" it comes out as "kyandoru," "master" as "masuuta," etc. I admit sometimes we sound kind of awkward or funny. Cx

When it comes to French accents, I pronounce it pretty well. Since here in Canada, Quebecois French has a different accent than Parisian French, and some words are different too. I've been speaking it for about 6 years, and if you learned French first before learning English, it's actually much easier. ;p Some of my classmates hate the language though, but I find it really cool.

Speaking in a British accent is really fun too, but I sort of fail at it. During sleepovers with my friends, we have this little "tradition" where we speak in a British accent, sans the slang. One of my best friends is half Italian and half English, so she can say and pronounce them really well. I can learn from her.

I'm mexican but for the life of me I can't speak in a Spanish (you know.. from Spain) accent.
But I can do the american one fairly well...
British...not so much.

And I know french as well (not quite an expert yet though) and I think I'm getting better at it.

But there is an accent I love: GERMAN <3 I LOVE IT.

[China]

I can speak German but not do a German accent. What's up with that? D:, Ah well. I can lisp pretty well, but it's sounds silly and I sound like I'm about four years old. ,:3

[Poland]

Well, I learned that I can mimic a perfect Dutch accent, since apparently my whole life my dad has had one and I didn't know >< i thought that was just his way of speaking....anyway... I can partially do a Japanese accent, after listening to Japanese since I was like eight. I can ATTEMPT a brit accent, but more of a cockney one, for some reason. I dunno. >> oh and I can attempt a chinese accent. but that's just cus my mom can speak cantonese. OH WAIT i can do a jew accent cus I AM ONE HAH. :3 oh and a greek. YAY ME.

[hongkong]

Uhh..Hi there~ I'm from the east coast too XDD NJ to be exact. I don't think I have much of an Asian accent though but there are some words I can't pronounce. Like the Rs and Ls...My family speaks Cantonese at home and when I do it sounds like I have an American accent speaking canto TT.

I love hearing all kinds of accents though~ Very interesting~!

[ironmaskmd]

I also like to hear all types of accents...!
Some are funny to hear haha

There are so many ways to speak spanish..
Argentina...España...Mexico...Colombia..Venezuela...we all talk differently

[Lithuania]

Thats true! When my mom speaks Spanish it's completely different from how others may speak it >< like my teacher. And there are also different words that they use in some spanish countries that they dont anywhere else. But than I guess thats how its like everywhere. Everyone who speaks English speaks it differently it all location location lol

[latvia]

My accent is closest to Texan (I'm from Utah, so think about a Texan accent with more nasal, less drawl). When I speak Spanish, my accent is pretty good. I took a dialect class in college (I was a theatre major LOL) and I can do British RP (Received Pronunciation) and Russian fairly well. I think the second one will serve me well when I cosplay Russia.

Kolkolkol.

[Lithuania]

lol that sounds like fun >< I'd love to see that

[ironmaskmd]

OH Russian accent?? I'd like to hear that toooooo

[austria]

Oh, I cannot do a British accent to save my life O:

But surprisingly, I can do the Korean accent, coz being in an international school, i'm surrounded by koreans every single day XD and i can also do a vietnamese accent, thai, and esp. cambodian (i live here! XD) and of course, my own: FILIPINO. TEH SACRED FILIPINO ACCENT. *doubles over* It's kinda like Spanish... only it sounds better on Spanish people. XDD Ah, and I can do a chinese accent too, somehow. I am only good at mimicking asian accents, as I am surrounded by all sorts of asians everyday, and there aren't many white kids in the international school i go to O:

And as for European accents... I can do the French, but it SUCKS. And I can do the German pretty well... We had "The Diary of Anne Frank" play for last year, so I HAD to learn. XD But now, I think it somehow seeped into my speaking, as I still say some words with a slight German drawl O: Which kinda suits, since I play Austria XDD

As for lisps, my expertise ^.~ I like mimicking my canadian teacher in secret >D
