    South West Wales accent. At least it's not as bad as North Wales, where you seriously cannot understand what they are saying when they speak English.

    I've been told my German sounds very much like standard German with slight variations in vocabulary maybe.

    It's different with English. I'm sure I have a German accent, I'm not so sure how strong it is. Though I learned British English in school it is now mixed with a mostly American pronunciation (standard American I think) due to much exposure from people I talk to, American TV shows and American movies.

    Northern english ftw
    I dont particularly pronounce T's, i say 'easy' & 'like' way too much.
    prime example of my accent:
    theres a place around here called Scartho. we all pronounce it 'Scaffa'
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    You'd probably hear I was from Sweden if you talked to me, although it's harder to notice when I'm calm and collected.

    I have a pretty neutral English accent, which I'm very happy with. It endears me to pretty much anyone because it lies and makes me seem awfully refined, intelligent and pleasant. At times it can be supar-pawsh or I can detiriorate into mangled semi-regional accent when I'm with friends or tired or excited or something. I think our regional accent is pretty awesome, tbh.

    I have two accents. I have a Geordie accent, which I talk to my parents, brother, and anybody else from Newcastle in.

    andddd, I have a neutral English accent. I speak really fast, which is why I don't speak in my Geordie accent 24/7 because otherwise nobody understands what I'm saying! I do try to slow down now. Daniel and Danielle said that I sounded posh xD andddd, people at work yesterday said that I don't sound 'Essex' to them at all and that I'm very well spoken. I never thought I was.

    @Spatty: I tend to absorb accents too. Since I'm on a college campus, there's not much of a difference because everyone speaks a different accent, but most of my friends here are from Providence, so I have been saying a few things like them now, ie: the New England "clahss" thing. xD

    I have a lower to middle class London accent with a splash of cockney British. The product of living between a bunch of housing estates and a football stadium.

    I do that, water is just "wa'er'.
