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.
Native language would be French and I guess I have a Parisian-ish accent even though I grew and still am in the US... English I can also consider a native language since I learned how to speak it just as early... and my accent there, is just messed up... No one can ever get where it comes from, I've heard it sounds Canadian, Japanese, French, the list goes on, so... I don't know!
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" ).
not that I can think of...
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.
see question 1!
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. )
lol, glad to say I don't!
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 ?
ya, the Southern accent from French, The Australian Accent for English, or anythin that's now American for that matter...
6. Are there any foreign accents which make your language sound awful?
lol, ya, English...
