Whenever I try and do an accent for a specific country, it always turns into another country.

So if I try and do a New Zealand accent it turns into south african, and vice versa

Wow, it�s pretty awesome to bump into one of 15,000 fluent speakers of a language I was reading about the other day.

I have had a weird life and moved around between many countries so I speak many languages, though they are mostly european (though I tried to learn a few Asian languages) and as I currently live in Europe I don�t think I have many speakers around me to learn from. I have been doing some lessons on websites and I just bought some books and audio lessons to do.

Not from Bville, and I�m not Native American so I�m not from any clan, though when I was looking up the origins of my family name I came to the conclusion that it is an old weird word for some kind of bird.

This post sounds so interesting! Like its only 1/100 of whats going on in your life!

Irish, Scotts, visiting German, Long Island, Australian, snobbish Brit, New York wiseguy, trailer park Southern.

That's about it.

I hope you level up!

As mentioned, I have been in Chile since 2016, and have not returned to the United States. I may have developed an accent, without knowing it.

There are a few ways I have changed my speech on purpose. Like, Spanish vowels are more open, so I have started saying owdio, instead of audio, even when speaking English. I have also changed my vocabulary a little...like using "commence" (because that is the Spanish verb) instead of "start". And pronouncing them in a Spanish fashion. "It is time that we CO-mence" instead of "It is time to start". I sometimes wonder what will happen to me back in the United States.

Every time i (native english speaker) go more than 2 days of primarily speaking another language I'm all hosed up when i come back. One time it was 2 months speaking german and the first non german exposure i had was going to the netherlands, which when you hear it in passing sounds like german with english phonemes. It majorly hosed with my head.
