I spent a semester in China learning Chinese. I lived in the foriegn students dorm with folks from all over the world. A lot of them didn't speak English so if we wanted to talk it would have to be in our butchered Chinese. It was hilarious hearing all these people speaking Chinese but with a French, English, Japanese. etc. accent. And, you would know what the accent was when they were speaking Chinese as easily as if they were speaking English.
Same here; being around family or unfamiliar places causes my accent to get very thick and syrupy. I have very little drawl thanks to acting classes but certain words like bayou, poison, scissors will always remain heavily mispronounced. lolQuote:
