The Wonderful World of Accents

[Princess Lala]

My husband defiently has one! His family is Welsh even though he was born in the States so his accent comes out a little sometimes! :3 He also speaks German, he will say stuff with a German accent.

I've been often told I have what's called a  "valley accent" or "hippie accent" whatever that is xD I assume maybe it became popular to talk like that in high school so maybe I picked it up there in Florida? However I've also been caught pronouncing things slightly with a Swedish accent. I spoke a little Swedish in my early childhood days as my family who took me in up in MN are from Norway and Sweden!

I remember my real mom and Gma spoke some form of Austrian\German and when they would argue idk 90% the stuff they are saying... @___@ I think my moms family is from around Luefin?EDIT: Cannot spell lol.... I think its Laufen

What accent do you want me to speak in?  Let me imitate someone for 30 minutes and I can do any accent convincingly.   

I can usually tell where someone is from, if they are speaking English.  My international language skills are not so good that I could say, "That's a Northern Swedish accent!"  LOL I wish

Well, I am currently only one out of two foreigners in the city of Gaomi, in China. Since I teach English to Chinese, Everyone has an accent to me. I am American. The other guy is South African but he is leaving on Monday.
I have a NYC accent.

Yorkshire accent here I live in the north of England and can get quite broad Yorkshire if i want. However other people in the north think i have quite a posh accent and often ask if i'm from the south of England originally whereas those form the south can quite easily tell i'm from the north

While somewhat biased i do love the Yorkshire accent, i wish it was portrayed in movies/tv shows more Though i think my favourite accents to listen to are the south african accent and indian. Indian people always sounds so freaking happy

While somewhat biased i do love the Yorkshire accent...

Geoff Boycott is a personal hero of mine.  Love hearing him get stuck in to the Aussies.

I used to like English for men. Still kind of do, not quite as 'ooh ahh' as it was before but still nice. One I don't really care for at all is Scottish (sorry guys). I kind of dislike it. I think Fast B****** from Austin Powers ruined it for me as a kid. I associate them with that. Similar deal with Australian, the Crocodile Hunter kind of ruined it for me and I associate it with him and don't really like it.

I like German accents. And pretty much everywhere else I guess except southern US accents.

If I watch a lot of ghost adventures I tend to develop a tiny accent.

My accent depends on my situation (yes I'm that insane), in general english with the tiny welsh twinge, when I'm angry I tend to get a very thick Welsh accent from nowhere and when I speak to my Nanna on the phone or in person I develope a Preston accent which is completely different to my normal one. I'm odd...very odd

I have an Inverness accent, from the east Highlands of Scotland. Where I work (east end of London) it stands out a mile   When I lived in Glasgow people could always tell I wasn't from round there: "That's more of an east cost accent, isn't it?"

The accents I like are Yorkshire, West Country and the proper Cockney accent, as well as South African and Australian. I also really love Orcadian, could listen to it for hours, but it's so rare to find someone outside of Orkney with that accent!
