Joga 1,315 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 This isn't only for Americans. I'm just asking if you sound different than the majority of your country. I live in Pittsburgh... we used to have accents but they disappeared. My grandparents still have an accent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcoolcool 893 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm an immigrant. I don't really have an accent but sometimes I can't pronounce words properly like people who English is their first language (does this makes sense?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinki 5,610 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Accent is subjective! Everyone has one. For example, you wouldn't notice accent from people of the same region. But you would notice from other regions, just like those people would notice that you have an accent different from theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*lesigh* 6,759 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've lived in Latina-dominated Southern Florida communities all my life, but I've never picked up any kind of accent. It's the strangest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NINI 16,268 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Sure. In Italy there are thousands of dialects and accents. I am from the North and I have the typical accent of my province. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASS 7,209 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I was raised in NC but we moved to Arkansas(ew) so my accent is fucked lol I speak too fast and barely pronounce words right so the cashiers at fast food restaurants always look at me with a "tf" expression but I find it funny but I can see how others would find it difficult to understand what I say.

I made it clear I meant a speech different from the majority of the country. I sound exactly like a typical American on TV. I don't consider that an accent.

But I think what OP is referring to in terms of "having no accent" is a typical American (As in not Southern, Jersey, Miami, Valley Girl, etc.) speaking tone, that's what I always think.

I don't consider that an accent. Then it's a dialect you're trynna find out? There's no such a thing as "typical accent" lol Brazilians think that accents from são paulo's capital are the typical ones, but not really.

But that's my actual point... It depends on point of view and there's no reference as to typical american accent, I don't even knew it was a thing because even those "learn how to speak" CDs have different accent from the multiple people that record it.

redfeather 215 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 My first language is French so I have a small accent in English, I think it's not too bad although it's hard to tell for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
