Why do so many Europeans talk with perfect American accents? I just heard this Finnish girl on BBC speak with a flawless California accent... like there wasn't even a hint of Finnish wtf
>>
Because we're bombarded with American media practically out of the womb. You can't really get an accent if you barely have time to learn your native language first.

I have a Swedish friend, Tora, who also speaks with an American accent. But all the other Swedes I know have thick accents.

How old are they?

Tora is 25, Erik is 29 and Kim is 40.

Because Nordics are American fucksluts. They literally have majority of their TV adverts in English.

Enough practice, I guess.

She probably played a lot of gta sa

not all yurps speak accentless english. only a small minority do. nords are an exception because they watch tv in english with subtitles their whole lives
>>
>>61458458
But they don't. Nordics get a shitload of American television content in its original language from birth and even then only a handful of them ever manage to not develop an accent.

Not that it matters. I don't see why people need to be disparaged for having an accent.
>>
It's because we don't have a culture of our own
>>
>>61460288
This. Japan has culture and no English
