1. What accent do you speak in when you speak your native language? Don't tell me you don't have one, because everyone has an accent, even if it's the "standard" accent for the language in question.

Grew up near Boston.

2. Do you mispronounce words because of your accent? I'm not talking about simple variant pronunciation. I'm talking about the way people in Boston say the word "career" like "Korea" and "Korea" like "career" (or, for example, the way Billy Joel sings about "Brender & Eddie" in "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" ).

Okay, not that bad. I'd say Cuh-rea. Pahk the Caa. Fingas, Suppah, etc. I also cut words up. I'm probably going home, would be Um probly goin ome. I'd say it quick so it wouldn't sound as stupid as it looks typed.

Not a mispronounced word, but I say 'wicked' a lot. Like, 'That's wicked sweet.' Never 'That's wicked'. I just barely ever type it unless I'm mocking myself.

3. Do you speak any other languages fluently enough to have a distinctive local accent in that language? For example, my Moscow accent, my friend's Parisian accent when he speaks French, etc.

I don't know any other languages well enough to have an accent. What I'm saying is too jilted and stuttering.

4. Are any of your accents "looked down" upon? (For example, Cockney or similar accents in England, Algerian accents in French, Caucasus accents in Russian, Long Island accents in American English, etc., etc., etc. )

Unsure.

5. As long as we're speaking about accents, are there any foreign accents which, when you hear your native language spoken in, turn you on/sound pretty ?

French and Russian accents aah wicked hot.

6. Are there any foreign accents which make your language sound awful?

Huh, not really. Even if it doesn't sound nice, it's still interesting to hear.
