    What kind of accents can you guys do?

    I really want to learn the English Accent (The one from London) and maybe the Aussie accent.

    Right now I can do American heh heh..

    Well....I got my native accent which won't make any sense to anyone here in the forums but if we are talking about English I was told that I sound more like an American. Don't really know myself.

    English accent with a taste of either an 'unknown' (Dutch) or German accent. :/

    As for actually doing one, I can somewhat imitate Northern Holland's accent.

    I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.

    Accents are sexy.

    Fake accents are not.

    Well I say "eh" a lot, and I'm Canadian. So Canadian accent, perhaps?

    Well I am pretty sure if you train and train your accent then maybe it can be near-native?

    No.

    You learn how to speak out the language by hearing it from your parents when you are 1 to 4 or 5 years old.
