So...here are some questions:

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.

well I guess I have an Australian accent. Though it is not a stereotypically thick aussie accent. Other Aussies say adelaide people have a slightly english bent. I was mistaken for being english when I was in new zealand a few times. Still it is definitely mostly australian.

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" ).

dunno, I'd have to think about it

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.

don't know what the local accent would be.

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. )

no, not really.

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 ?

no

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

can't think. But I know from italian lessons in school that an Aussie drawl sounds terrible when the person is trying to speak italian

Okay, that's it. 'Twas a short survey.

long enough
