I'm Czech. I can't tell you which accents I speak, but I can tell you which accent I *don't* speak - Czech. For at least 7 years now I've been speaking with the generic American thing and at this point I don't even know how to do a Czech accent.

I can speak English with pretty good California, Texan, Southern, Christopher Walken, Russian, French, German, Indian and East African accents. I can do Australian, British, Scottish and Irish ones too but I'm not sure they're as accurate.

Oh I can apparently do a decent Cockney accent though, or even Scottish maybe.

My New York accent is fading... but some of it is still there.

I haven't got an accent. I speak English the way it was meant to be spoken. It's everyone else who is wrong.

Good one! Apparently I sometimes sound like I have an American accent. I used to do so many terrible impersonations as a kid.

Apart from that I can to a not bad Greek, Cockney and James May.

*As James May* 'Oh c@^k! In Hungarian!'

people have told me all over geelong that i speak with an english european accent you know what people sound like in england? i have never been to england. i was born and have lived my entire like in australia. despite the fact my grandfather on my mother's side emigrated here from new zealand but never became an australian. i have been to new zealand very lovely people just don't be offended when they pronounce sex instead of six. it is so easy to make that mistake and to mock new zealand english by doing so. but seriously us australians love our kiwi's neighbors. they have always been here for us. world war 2 and whenever either country has a serious bushfire emergency etc, the bond between us diplomatically has never been stronger

I suppose I have a Canadian accent, though it's not as strong as those from the Eastern Canada. I imagine that most non-Americans would think that I have an American accent.
