As someone with an accent i always wondered how other people feel about them or their experience having one. Maybe its just me but i always have it in the back of my head while speaking to someone. Im also wondering if imma lose it completely once i move for good. If that happened to u pls share ur experience.

Everyone has some kind of accent.
Explain what you mean

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters bro its pretty clear. Idk how else to explain it. If i was english only speaker living in a english speaking country i definitely wouldnt claim to have an accent. I know there's alot of different dialects people definitely dont sound the same depending on which part of America they are from but thats also completely different

@dontdmme also in the US and also in the UK there are loads if different accents. Each person sees people who don't talk with his own accent as having an accent.
A Yank in the UK has an accent and a Btit in Nrw York has an accent.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters true but uk and usa are also completely different parts of the world

@dontdmme within UK and US as well.
If someone from the deep south goes to NYC he'll sound strange.
If someone from Newcastle goes to London he'll also sound different.
