RE: I'm English, But I Speak With A Foreign Accent
Interesting musings on accents, definitely! I agree with your points about why accents may change. My accent doesn't reflect where I was born-and-raised because of a conscious decision that I did not want to sound that way. Oddly, my attempts to change to a more neutral accent were successful, but then I moved, by chance, to an area where people talked like that! LOL! Thanks for sharing this interesting and charming post with #steemitbloggers 😊
Hi @thekittygirl!
Thank you for stopping by and commenting! That's really interesting that you made a conscious decision to change your accent and then ended up moving to an area where people spoke like that!!
Can I ask why you didn't want to sound like where you were born and raised?
Oooh! You see, I find that kind of accent really cool, but then I guess we all prefer things that are different to what we know or have! :)
