Hey everyone- I'm here to talk about...

-accents

Yes. Accents.

Hear me out;

Basically,
I have an accent.

It's a rather thick, Swedish/Finnish sounding accent. It's Scandinavian. I've had it for a while ever since I started learning my language (Swedish) and had traces of it since I've been little. I cover it up and always have so I didn't really realize that I had it until people started pointing out when I slipped up, usually when I'm nervous or tired.

So, if you've ever Skyped me before you probably haven't heard it, and if you have it was probably just very faint traces.

So to those who Skype me, should I start letting it come out a little more? It won't be very thick. I've always been self conscious about the way I've pronounced things but as I realized it was a Scandinavian accent I was even more self conscious. I have a very natural sounding American accent but it's because I was adopted and raised into an American and English speaking family.

So should I let it be more natural and come about a bit more?

I don't know why I made this so serious, I'm sorry about that, I'm just unsure if I should be myself a bit more? I'll still have permanent American accent but the Scandinavian part would show through more.

If you're not sure what a Scandinavian accent sounds like, you can always ask Kitty or Reshi, -MattWilliams- &
ReshiArcanine , to join one of our APH group chats and go on one of our calls sometime.

That's basically it, I really hope you all read this far. This is pretty important to me.

Hej Da~
