i have a very thick french canadian accent. it's not the same thing as french accent from France.
first, i usually pronounce an "h" where there's none, and i dont pronounce it when there's one. and while in France they pronounce "th" like "z", i pronounce it like a "d" for exemple, if i say "the air is in my hair", i prounonce it like "de hair is in my air".
also i pronounce most word like if they were french words, so especially the voyels change in the sounding. it give a very wierd sounding when i talk, and i often have to repeat a few time if i speak in english.

I live in the Midwest in America. So everyone you hear on the national news programs? I sound like them. For this reason, we in the Midwest are sometimes called "accent-less".
Quite posh British, even though I have spent my life growing up in Penzance (if you don't know where that is, it's where the weather forecasters elbow blocks when pointing to more important places like London)
I speak [a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_American]Newscaster American English[/a] which is surprising as both my parents have heavy accents. My father has a the scandinavian habit of stressing his I's and O's and my mother has a rural 'twang. Not to mention I was born in Pittsburgh and lived there till I was 6 (and again at age 12) they have a seriously freaked up accent

Australian without the Crocodile Dundee exaggeration.
I suppose you could call it "city Australian"?
When I was last in the U.S alot of Americans were saying I sounded British.
Just thought that was interesting.
You may not.. ah well.

Most of us can't tell the difference between 'city australian' and 'newscaster british'Ernie Devlin said:

Scottish!!!
Though I'm Dutch and have never been to Scotland, my bastardization of the English language when speaking is sound enough to make me sound like a tall bearded bugger wearing a skirt or alternatively a short bearded bugger wearing pants and living in mountains, at least according to most Brits I know.
