Hi,

I'm not really sure where this thread is going, if anywhere. I am not really bothered which accent anybody uses and I can't understand why Englishuser is concerned about my preferences, either.

I guess I'm neither a URP speaker not an aristocrat. I try to sound as natural and clear as possible while keeping my own identity. What about you, Englishuser?

Hi Torsten,

What does sounding natural mean to you?

[Torsten]

It means that whoever I talk to can easily understand me and they would not pay much attention to my accent if any at all.
