Ugh, i have what i call a "russian tourist accent".Mainly it's me saying "f" instead of "th" in some words(somefing, Souf, fing, etc), having problems with the "r" letter in such way that i always overextend it which makes me sound a bit like a retarded pirate, and trying too hard to pronounce every word.I would give anything to get rid of my shitty accent, but, obviously, you can't pickup a good english accent in Russia, so, yeah. :\

No, I don't have anything like that, it's just so absurdly idiotic it's funny again.
I actually use a mild Manc accent most of the time although I can do a few ones. Talking to an Asian tourist in a German-speaking country in thick Glaswegian is great.

No really I don't really have an accent at all. I'm guessing this is the result of my parent wanting me to speak Chinese but growing up in a English schools had kind of mess up my listenning so I haven't pick up an accent.Tubez said:
But do you say my absolute favorite Texasism? "Caihepyew?" I love that. Makes me smile every time someone says it to me.Lucem712 said:
I have an odd hybrid of Australian and English as my accent. Born in UK, raised in Australia, returned to UK to live. It gets more Aussie as I drink, get stressed or chat to a stranger.
My wife (who is Russian) loves it. I have to explain my accent to people at least twice a week.
The majority of this town speak like chavs. I was keen to avoid sounding like that so purposely kept my accent. I think it worked.

Well, um, Norwegian accent..I guess, with dialect of course, from western coast, I guess, (Ålesund, wikipedia it ^^).
I don't know... Some people think I sound british but I don't think so. I'm Australian with an Irish background.
Canadian. Different from American accents, really. Most American accents have slightly more pronounced vowels than the Canadian accents. I'm pretty good at recognizing and imitating accents. I was in London once, and I was talking to the guy who ran the hotel. I was sort of imitating him, and he didn't notice. I then switched back to my regular accent, and he was pretty surprised.
I learned how to imitate the various UK accents by watching various BBC shows, actually. Pretty much all I watch nowadays.
Also, my Ukrainian background and knowledge of Russian allows me to imitate the Russian accent in various levels. I can do a horrible parody, realistic one, and so on. Depends if I'm doing it for a laugh or not.

Midwestern Accent. Primarily from my parents who grew up in Ohio, and upstate New York from living there, which is just a midwestern accent as well.
Swindonian accent. It's an accent primarily spoken in the Swindon area of Wiltshire which is in the south west of England.
It's a typical non-quirky English accent. Only we cannot pronounce our T's. For example, when we say 'alright' We just just say Alrigh'.
And Tortoise, we say Tor'oise.
