Non-native English speakers, how is your accent? (1 Viewer)

[brekker]

Is it easily noticeable? Do you speak with a more-American or more-British accent?

a strong one, do you think? your written English is enviable though, so I can´t imagine that your accent would be that bad!

not enough englishie? but at least it´s cute or whatever. but I´m the same, however,the spanish one is generally cuter. it doesn´t sound that mean as let´s say other accents :D.

I get what you mean, but I am sure it´s not THAT bad. people can´t expect non-natives to speak like natives. I have only met one person who spoke with a very good British accent and that was because while she was Chinese and grew up in Shanghai, she said she has had British teachers since childhood.

my accent isn't that bad because I've lived in america for a while now

I think it's obvious that I am not a native speaker if I go to an English speaking country but my accent does pass for "American" here were I live, people can't tell where I am from.

I do have an Eastern European accent, quite strong I think, but in terms of ‘English accents’, I would say that it is closer to American accent, and not British However, I’ve been told that my accent is easy to understand. My ex-roommate was Japanese and her English wasn’t the best, but she said that she can understandme better than the other housemates
