70K Before Wacken 2013

Well he already speaks English with a fairly thick Australian accent. Dropping a Brittish accent for an Australian one is pretty difficult. Within a day of my first visit to England, it took a couple of weeks to drop their accent and speak with my own. This year I accidentally fooled some locals into thinking I was Brittish even though I was trying really hard to keep my own accent. The following day my real accent came back It was the most bizarre thing.

I think it might be with the fact that the britisch accent isn't my own. I got that of my ex... (that makes it sound like a STD ). So I probs have less of a problem picking up a different accent in the same language then you.

Reminds me of a story a German/Australian guy told me at Summer Breeze. Went to study in France...came back with an Irish accent

In France?

THE country where no one speaks a foreign language at all! (except in tourist areas, and still)

Weird!

IIRC, only the cool people went to the pub. Turns out most of them were Irish

Might depend.
Even with Chris (a real American) for 5 days, and my English still hasn't changed a bit.

do you pick up accents easily tho?
Is used to sit next to some one in class in collage with a really thick brabants accent. After two days I started to sound like him.

Takes a while.
You need to listen to intonations of the words as well as the words itself (of course)

It took me quite a while. (from TV, mind you )

Daar komt je Limburgse afkomst kijken. Als ik 2 dagen naast 'n hagenees zit, lukt 't me aardig, maar die "G"! Die krijg ik niet uit m'n strot.

Even after watching American television all my life, I still can't do any kind of American accent. When I talk to an American, my accent doesn't change. If I start talking to just ONE English person here (particularly if they're from the midlands...for some reason), my accent drifts. Multiply it by 100000000000000000 if I've been drinking

I don't know why it happens. I don't do it intentionally. I just start copying pronounciations and words within no time at all. That's why people always think I'm taking a piss when I don't even realize what I'm doing. But only with people I like. If I can't stand the sight of someone I don't do it.
So if I ever do this to anyone on here. Please don't take it the wrong way. I do this only with people I like...

Ja maar ik heb helemaal niets met Limburg verder. De keren dat ik mijn limburgse kant van de family heb gezien/gesproken zijn op 2 handen te tellen. En mijn moeder is op haar 4de verhuisd naar noord holland dus die heeft dat accent ook echt niet meer.
