Being able to say "I don't speak English." in a good Polish accent comes in handy in Chicago. I've learned that today. :D

Dear BBC: get better American accents, and we'll try to do English well. Please.

Back to the topic: No, I really can't fake an accent. Scottish and Irish accents are really hard to fake. Irish people do not sound like the lucky charms guy. Also, I don't know why some people think that the English talk like the chimney sweeper from Mary Poppins. I've been there, and nobody talks like that!

Some people here do talk like the chimney sweeper though. Its like..... Shoot, theres this female singer who sings with a cockney accent who's name I can't remember. Anyone know who she is? The name ran away :( :P
Good grief. NOBODY talks like the "chimney sweeper" as smurf Van Dyke does the worst cockney accent in film history. It's terrible!

Do you mean Kate Nash btw?
Ok, not quite like that, but still a little bit. And it could be Kate Nash, I have no idea atm.

But of course! http://youtube.com/watch?v=SfR6tb3mtD8 but i wasn't very good there, lol. that was actually a while back...and i've been practicing!

I"m getting pretty good at an Australian accent, and i can say "you, daaaahling" with a New York-er accent and that's about it, lol. I find texan accents hard, personally...lol (and I think my Australian accent may be more British than anything else...I don't know the difference, lol)

Aussie accents are pretty British, I think. I mean, Aussies mostly started out Brit, right?

*sigh* There's no such thing as a British accent. And Aussie's sound nothing like us. At all. In fact, South African accents sound more similar to English than Austrailian accents do.

There isn't a British accent.
I mean, I have something like seven different influences on my accent and I've lived in only two places.
And I could easily name a couple dozen further accents.

And to be fair, most English speaking countries got it from us.. (And I say most only to cover my bases)

I think there isn't a British British, there's various local accents but eh no one actually speaks in what everyone thinks it The British Accent? o_O

Wrong again. England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland are all part of Britain but are different countries. We have entirely different accents, aside from regional ones. When most Americans talk of a British accent, you're all thinking of an <i>English</i> accent. Anyway, this accent is "Queen's English" which no-one tends to talk in anyway because of said regional accents. It just helps Americans understand what the heck we're on about.

When I was at camp in America, I had to adapt my accent to 'Queen's English' (I know, weird right?) so that the kids could understand me. I'm so common back home so when I came back sounding like Kate Winslet, I was pronounced "posh".

For what it's worth, I have never actually met anyone who spoke Received pronunciation (Queens English).
And on a side note, my accent is considered to be posh around here.
I'm from Southampton. :roll:

(although I may have mentioned this one before....
