Non Anglophone countries when you hear a native English speaker speaking your language can you tell which country they are from or do they all sound the same?
Like do an American, English, Irish, Australian speaking your language have clear distinct accents or do they all sort of sound like a generic "English speaker trying to speak my language"?

Irish have a very distinct accent but I can't put my finger on it.
Scotts have the worst accent by far.
Englishmen probably sound the best.
Aussies sound like retarded Englishmen, but very few of them speak foreign languages anyway.
t. Tourist hotspot
>>57993412
yes
Yes.
But the general reaction to a foreigner speaking Dutch is: "You fucking retard why would you learn this language everyone speaks English".
And they're right, you only need Dutch if you are gonna immigrate.
>foreigner speaking my language
they would learn russian or some shit by accident

No, all of them have tongue made of wood.

Slavic languages are all weird af
Nope, they have a distinct accent.
But for people who don't know tourists, maybe they can't do the difference.
americans and british are easy to spot.
dont know about kiwis and other cunts they never speak french because they're too stupid to do so.
>>57993630
The Polish language wasn't made for human tongues.
>>57993493
I've heard Dutch is the easiest language to learn if you're first language is English.
>>57994269
does american accent sound good or bad in french?
french sounds good in english unless it's a super heavy accent which is a bit annoying
>>57993472
Which accent sounds the best?
>>57994371
Honestly it sounds good. Even pretty sexy.
>>57994422
Specifically not yours
>>57994335
I suppose Frisian is easier, but that is a meme language.
Dutch would be pretty easy yeah, but English has the easiest grammar of any Germanic language. Dutch grammar is considerably harder.
>>57994480
wasn't expecting that tbqh
I do because i bothered checking the backgrounds of actors/musicians/ecc when i enjoy some anglo-made media, most people don't do it therefore don't know it. Only the very peculiar ones tho, like irish, scottish, posh-english, dixie ecc.
>>57994480
Are we talking midwest, southern, eastern, or west?
>>57994371
I don't like it.
Have you ever heard a Quebecois speak french? Well they kinda speak french with an american accent.
Only experience I have are hungarians/italians/swedes. Difference is easy to spot but I wouldn't have known what the swedes were just from the way they talk
>>57994480
The actress Stacy Martin is half English half French, and is fluent in both.
>>57994528
Really? It is rather know, however.
I guess foreign accent is always exotic, but like you said a "too strong" accent is annoying.
But frankly, it's rarely annoying. Don't worry about that imo

I can distinguish English and American accents, but cannot distinguish different American accents. Dunno about Australian and Irish, maybe they are too similar to American and English accents.
>Like do an American, English, Irish, Australian speaking your language have clear distinct accents or do they all sort of sound like a generic "English speaker trying to speak my language"?
Honestly, have never heard English man speaking Russian. But Americans tend to have Ukrainian / Southern Russian accent.
>>57994695
Really, didn't know that, thanks.
>>57994644
An average french shalt not make the difference Tbh
>>57993630
Nice try, snake people.
>>57994797
The Australian accent can sometimes be confused with an English one, but Irish should be quite distinctive.
>>57994695
Indeed, she speaks french like a native

>>57994975
She has a (strong) cute accent... I love it.
Their parents ( or grandparents idk) have a strong strange accent too but not the same as her (never heard that before).
She is perfectly understandable, she just has a sexy accent
>>57995051
She must learn the both languages since her very childhood, it's pretty rare.

Why does Lauren Cohan have a fucked up accent?

Cajuns are weird people
>>57995465
Because she's has a British mother and an American father, and has lived in both countries during certain times of her life. Flicks between English and American accent.
>>57995506
>weird people
Maybe, but what a sexy accent.

>slavs
American and English are clearly different.
The rest idk
All Germans and Austrians sound the same to me. Maybe if you had examples of each of the different regions accents one after the other I could pick them out, but just hearing someone speak my mind just understands the German and doesn't care about the accent.
A Polish person speaking German sounds different, but not a great deal different.
t. German speaking Aussie
>>57995580
Slag
yeah
irish and scottish are very distinct, so it australian
south african is also very distinct and sounds ULTRA retarded
new zealand
what else
I cant differentiate between generic AMERICAN accent and CANADIAN accent, even though canadian accent is kind of a meme in american media
I can tell when a person speak some retarded version of american. it's not hillbilly speak, it's more like Basic Bitch White Girl speak. Maybe californian?
>>57994975
are these people actually native french speakers or muh heritage fagniggers?

There's an accent/dialect continuum in the American north and Canadian south. Big American cities in the northeast/great lakes have different accents but the general populations of those areas share a lot of accent features, so it's no wonder what you think is "generic" american sounds similar to canadian. Features like canadian raising are found all over the north US.
California has a fairly distinct accent, the midwest is fairly "featureless" (technically no accent is featureless but it's not an accent associated with any particular group or place). There are a number of southern accents but in general everyone speaks something closer to new southern English or closer to Appalachian English. Then you have black English and small coastal dialects like High Tider, the accents in New Orleans and the coastal southeast, etc. English varieties are fuckin neat man
