Accents

[Zeldy]

I know there is always an accent thread, but they amuse me, so

Since starting sixth form college, it's pretty apparent that I have quite a strong accent (I've had like quite a few people come up to me going OH MY GOD, I KEEP SAYING ___ BECAUSE OF YOU). I say "like" alot, I don't pronounce "the" and I say "me" a lot, as well as speaking quite fast and having a general North West England accent. I apparently really drag out my words too xD

Someone will ask what subject I have next and I reply 'I've got Media, me". I never realised I said it, till this girl from Liverpool kept pointing out how many times I said it.

Discuss!

People in the US said that when they listened closely when I talked a lot, you could hear a slight Dutch accent.

Then again, I am Dutch, so no suprises there.

I say "like" a lot too xD and apparently I laugh a little almost after everything I say, but I almost never notice it. xD

My friends say that my parents have a slightly Asian accent but I don't. D: I want a slightly Asian accent!

I have the standard, boring American accent. Yay.

I haven't been New Zealandized at all, except for the fact that I now have this compulsion to put ",eh?" at the end of everything I say. But I resist that urge.

I have a neanderthal accent when I speak english.

I have a neanderthal accent when I speak english.

It doesn't count as english if you just grunt and point at things.

It wasn't that bad, Levian.

When I drink my southern comes out.

There's no real foreigners around to tell me what I sound like. But I tend to speak really fast and quiet, and put "yeah?" and similar at the end of sentences

I have a Californian accent. It sometimes accidentally dips into surfer girl accent when I'm hanging out with certain people but I'm trying to check that.

Check this bad boy out.

I have a standard English accent. I usually drop the t on the end of words like "what", but I don't drop it in the middle (eg "water" or "bottle") so I'm in between common and posh. Jess reckoned it was "midlands" but midlands means either brummie or "Ooh arr" and my accent is neither.

I have the stereotypical "Noo Yoik" accent. It grows stronger depending on where I am and who I'm talking to, and if I'm calm or angry.

When I was in Manhattan with Huxley, it came back super strong. I was ordering a hot dog for him in front of the Museum of Natural History, and I was like "CAN AY AWDUH A HAHTDAWG WID MUSTUD?" and he was like "lol wut."

Rhode Island is poisoning my accent a bit because I've gone from the slightly nasally "clayssss" for class to a clear New England "clahss". Must work on retaining my accent.

Also, when I'm angry, it comes out like whoa.

I have a Chicago-ish accent, my dad's German and my mom's from Chicago, soI have the accent of my mom and mannerisms of my dad.

I had a ridiculous Northern English accent for a short time, thanks largely to spending time with two Englishmen. I'm starting to pick up little quirks and things because I think they sound cool, but some really aren't.

My friend Josh speaks exactly like Liam Gallgher (I think it's Liam), same stammer and everything
