I have a tiny bit of texan or (southern) accent on some of the words I speak. Most people don't realize I'm texan til I say them because now I'm gaining a rather annoying Wisconsin (North Eastern) accent.
And yeah the two don't combine very well. :D

Some people have thought I was from Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and Norway. Not much of a surprise, though, since those languages are all close to Danish.. Also, the Danish accent when speaking English isn't really that recognizable.
Okay. I never truly got this entire thing about Californian accents, until now. xD You've all got accents to me, so either way - you'd sound like you had accents! :DQuote:

When people see me for the first time they think I am from another country.
I was walking down the hall at school and I heard "Whoa is that one of the German foreign exchange students?"
I wanted to say "Ja! Ich komme aus Deutschland!" or "Ja! Sieg heil!" or some other stupid thing in German.
i don't really think anyone from the midwest has an accent.
Yes, that's why the child mortality rate is so high here, we just can't shut up.Quote:

If im talking to people on holiday or when im out somewhere for the day they can generally tell im from Essex but i dont notice it myself until i hear other accents lol:p
Number of places I've been asked if I hail from based on my voice: Birkenhead, Manchester, Birmingham, North Wales, "somewhere in the North." None of these places seem to fit the bill for someone who has a supposedly posh voice like I do. Notice no one has ever said Liverpool, where I was born.
Yeah, some girl said I don't speak clearly and sound a bit aloof at times.
I get confused with being a Geordie by people in the south all the time. I can see why they might make that mistake, but that still doesn't stop me from severely admonishing them regardless.
People like to take the mick and say I sound like a scouser >:[ (someone from bloody LIVERPOOL). I am close to Liverpool and my accent is influenced by it, BUT IT IS AN INSULT; Oh my god, scousers have the worst accents ever, anyone in the UK will tell you that xD
I won't.Quote:
