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.

English, with a bit of West Midland accent in it. I remember having a long argument with a girl from the American Mid West - she claimed, in a strong accent, not to have an accent

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 really, or at least not that I've ever noticed....

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.

no, I suck at lanuages

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. )

every region in Britain looks down on all the other regions' accents, so yes

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 ?

as long as it's by a woman, who cares what it sounds like?

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

American/ Canadian (sorry, but they just sound a bit yucky...not from all regions within each either, just as a rule)
