What do people usually say about your accent?

[Reecejackox 349]

Have you ever had any negative comments about your accent?

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

I've never gotten any negative comments on my accent, nor have I gotten compliments. I've been told I have a southern US accent and at other times I've been told I have a midwestern US accent.  I dunnooooo.

The only time anyone ever comments on it, it's to say that I sound posh (which, in my opinion, I definitely don't).

[Gaines 1,108]

No one really says anything about the way I speak  The closest thing to that is asking me to say certain words and commenting something along the lines of "it sounds like you have an accent," and getting mocked for pronouncing WH- with the H

[Lunaholic 892]

Nothing. Perhaps I sound very bland when I speak English

[Rainbow Cloud 16,290]

I don't think I've heard anyone say anything negative about my accent but I still think people judge me because of it.

[Splashee 28,537]

I don't have an accent by default, so I get no comments about accent.

[Envy 5,998]

I don't think I have much of an accent (as far as the different US accents go, obviously I do have a US accent versus English or Australian). We shall see when I move lol.

I have a lot of accent.... And when I do them they laugh... 

[Savygriffs 5,021]

I don't have much of an accent anymore, but people used to say I had a pretty decent southern accent. 

(although sometimes it can slip out)

I have a specific way of speaking Spanish. Duh I was raised by Colombian parents. Anyways there I was in a cool Puerto Rican restaurant and we needed take home boxes for leftovers. So I go up to these guys and ask for a box in Spanish and they start laughing at me and go “you’re Colombian aren’t you” (in Spanish) like what?? I go full straight face mode (bright red) and just ask for what I needed in English. Sooo embarrassing…

I have a terrible accent, and 90% of the time I speak I have to repeat myself due to low tone or improper pronunciation. It annoys me all the time. 

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

My parents have often been told that people love their accents. Me? Since I don't interact with people all that often, I don't really get any comments.

People say I have a somewhat stereotypical surfer dude accent. It's true, but come on duuuuuude.

[Dreambiscuit 8,023]

I’ve lived in all parts of the US so I don’t have one specific accent. If anything they all mix together and come out somewhat neutral. Once in a while, if someone points out a bit of southern accent (which I fight against with all my strength) I feel embarrassed and reinforce my efforts to purge it from my speech. I have plenty of speech characteristics, but as far as accents, that’s about all.

I've lived in the Northeast USA my whole life yet I've had some people think I'm from somewhere in Eastern Europe. My voice just sounds weird I guess and as a kid I had a speech impediment.

[Venomous 18,813]

No one has ever said anything to me about it but that’s because the majority of people I associate with have the same accent, that being North American. I have heard that people who are from a country that speaks a different language like Germany say that Americans have their own accents.

[Astralshy 23,536]

In my native language I have a barely recognizable regional accent. If I speak english, then I have a strong accent. Not many ppl commented on it, and nobody said anything negative about my accent and I think ppl are okay with it

[Old Accnt. 3,147]

idk I never asked people about my accent or i did but I don't remember I have to ask some people soon

[Splashee 28,537]

They used to say it sounded Scandinavian, but not anymore. I am too used to talk American English by now.

[Clawdeen 12,109]

Nobody’s ever really said anything
