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.
I don't have a particular distinct dialect (as dialects of the Swedish language) but people can tell that I'm from the westcoast of Sweden. But, as I said, I don't have a typical westcoast dialect as halländska, göteborska or heaven forbid skånska.
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" ).
No, not that I know of.
But some other dialects have very funny pronunciations.
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. My English is a Swenglish accent. And I've forgotten all my french.
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, I'm coming from a good region of my country. But some of the dialects are looked down upon in Sweden.
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 ?
When Englishmen talk Swedish. It sounds very cute.
6. Are there any foreign accents which make your language sound awful?
When Finnish people talk Swedish.*shudders*
