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 that you would say that I talk with a Northwest American accent since I live in washington
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" ).
well, I don't think that I do I have noticed that Brad pronouces words slightly differently than I do, but I don't think that either of us necessarily pronouce them wrong...
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.
absolutely not though I wish I could
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. )
umm...I don't think that they are...
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 ?
I absolutely love accents Irish accents are my favorite
6. Are there any foreign accents which make your language sound awful?
hmm...not that I can think of at the moment
Okay, that's it. 'Twas a short survey.
