Comment on What accent would I even have?

Even if we knew exactly how you are pronouncing what you wrote, we still don’t know your intonation, which is massive when it comes to accents.
Mine is a mess. My native language is Spanish but nobody ever guesses it right. I work in a customer service role and people often ask me where is my accent from. When they dare risk a guess, they usually ask if it’s French, Russian or Irish. Yes- Irish! Conversely, I deal with lots of tourists as well and the French, Russian and Irish accents couldn’t sound any more different from each other so I don’t know what that means about mine. Spanish accent is typically very easy to recognize so whatever mine is, it sounds nothing like it.

I am from the US South and have been asked if I’m from Irish because of my accent. It’s crazy how off some people are with guessing.
