do u have accent?

:hmmm:

i dont speak engrezi with urdu accent but i dont have american accent either :hmmm:

i dont have any specific accent in urdu either. u cant tell if im punjabi or from karachi/pathan/balochi or bihari :hehe:

wat bout u guys?? :hmmm: can ppl tell where ur from cuz of ur accent?

I am so embarassed to say this , but i will share anyways :@:

A few months back I took a 4 month coaching session from an urdu tutor , I know urdu quite well and can speak and understand really difficult words as well but took the coaching for proper urdu accent ... coz mine was like a mix of arabic/punjabi/english ... and my mom thought she could hardly understand what i was saying !!!

people are alot happier with me now ! and I am so so proud of myself ..

Re: do u have accent?

I dont have an accent but I am somehow really good at picking up accents. Not intentionally all the time, but I normally end up speaking in the accent of whom I am speaking with, not the purest but close :hmmm: Its just how my mind is naturally programmed perhaps.

Oh dear , I know what you mean by that tendency to pick up accents !! I have suffered so much at the hands of this particular tendency :omg:

I used to have a pure british accent for english , until i spent about 3 years in Pakistan and started losing it and then my best friend is american … and before I knew i was split between the two accents !!!

Last year, in dubai , I was coming back from AUH to dubai in a taxi … the driver was pathan .. we exchanged a few lines and that was enough for me to speak pathani urdu ! my mom freaked out !

ohh that reminds me of a masterpeice from dad … we were out shopping , saw a long leafy stem peice in the flowers corner … and dad called out loud to ask its price .. so he went : kam haada ..errr .. tehni !!!

Tehni is urdu for stem !! and we were like on the floor laughing our hearts out !

ur tasteless then :o

Gorilla’s have accents?! :stuck_out_tongue: I am learning new things everyday!

Accent what accent ?
Some people have such a bad accent that you need a translator to help you understand what they are saying . :bummer:
In meetings some Chinese counterparts of mine who dial in to the meetings speak in such a horrible accent. I cannot understand 75 percent of what they are saying. :hinna:
And I am the one who used to claim that I can understand English spoken in any accent of the world. :o:
