I live in Oklahoma and so I don't have the southern accent going. I still say "route" like "root" and I don't say "turr" for "tour" and I just speak normal. The Okies say I have a funny Pennsylvania accent and I talk too fast. And I say funny Pennsylvania things like "go get that awhile"... I've never said "outen the lights."
My problem is that I pick up the accents of people I talk to. I came to Oklahoma for camp when I still lived in PA, and talked with a lot of people from Texas who had SERIOUS texan accents, but at the same time there was a group from Saskatchewan, Canada, and so I also picked up the whole "eh?" thing. I came back to pennsylvania speaking Texan with canadian "eh"s, and people wondered where I really went

no i don't have an accent when i speak english but i can successfully speak in my home language with it's proper accent. But i've never mixed up the two which is a surprise since i'm like first in line to mess up.

Started learning English about 10 years ago. No accent now although on occasion I suffer from Spoonerism.

Honestly I don't know.
 A lot of the teachers at my school and my schoolmates have the Cantonese accent, which doesn't sound very appealing. |
