i learned it when i moved here at 5 years old

with my parents i pretty much only speak arabic

i have no accent, i also learned french in school but im shit at it. could survive in france with only french though. english is my dominant language.
>>
>>57558399
>How did you learn English?
Before school in some special preschool facility for arrogant cunts.
>Do you have a shit accent?
It's alright. But I refused to speak Oxford because of my ameribooishness. I changed my mind recently. I don't think people must try to speak with Anglo-accents. Accents are fun, diversity is good, languages change taking from other cultures, it's a natural process. English language doesn't belong to Britain alone anymore, there's no objective 'standard' how to speak.
>How many other languages do you speak regularly?
Russian only. English is for work.
>>

vidya mainly , and animeyhs

>>57558399

>How did you learn English?
Got english lessons at school, but mostly by the internets and MMOs.

>Do you have a shit accent?
Yes, it's nearly impossible to get rid of accent to native russian speaker.

>How many other languages do you speak regularly?
Only russian.

I have a swedish accent, so i guess so.

>How did you learn English?
In middle school I had a teacher who inspired me, after that I started reading information on the internet in English and it JUST LEARNED.
>Do you have a shit accent?
Yes, but I am very bad at pronouncing any language, even my mother tongue.
>How many other languages do you speak regularly?
German, Russian, English. Sometimes French.
>>
>>57558399
>How did you learn English?
I learned basic English in kindergarten through exercises and reading books.

>Do you have a shit accent?
Not really, no. It's a mix of American and British English (think Transatlantic).

>How many other languages do you speak regularly?
Slovene. I also try to practice in German as much as I can, so I wouldn't forget it.
>>
>>57558399
>How did you learn English?
Mainly internet.

No. My accent is decent, Moroccans don't have strong accent on general.

>How many other languages do you speak regularly?
I do speak Arabic on Arab forums, French with friends online.
>>
>>57561966
Swedish accent is not so bad since your languages are both Germanic so they have surprisingly similar pronunciations

There is, it's the ways native speakers speak. You can choose which real English are you aiming for, but Russian or Finnish "accent" is just mispronunciation

Slavic accents of Russian are good. Especially when girls speak.

do you find it insulting? It is not in Poland. Here in refers to common people without any bad connotation.
>>
>>57563569
>These standards have no sence
Yes they have, every language has a correct way of pronunciation and foreigners learning that language should try to accomplish that, which is often impossible but that doesn't make the wrong pronunciation any more acceptable.
>>
>>57563990
English is different. It's international. Most people don't speak like Anglos, it's reality. Standards don't work.
