Hi people! I need to know if I have any accent, and if I do, how much accent do I have?

it's definetly worth a watch

I've watched The Wire full seasons 1-3 so far and I've loved them. Really amazing television. But I just watched the first ep of season 4 and didn't like it much. Way to much Carcetti. Can't stand watching that guy, I have a real hatred of politicians and politics -- especially narcesistic self-righteous a-hole ones. & The school system looks like its going to be a boring story -- those kids playing around, dull. The gangs and policework and the dockworkers were all interesting. Oh, well. I'll keep going and see if it gets better.

I can understand you easily, MasterJan. Sure, there's a slight trace of accent in your voice, but that's true for every single person. It's not like "accent" is a bad thing, since there are so many regions of the world, and many of them are represented here. No single regional accent can possibly be "correct". I feel it's impossible to avoid having an accent, almost by definition.

Hello Jan, as David has already said, your voice is clearly understandable, but suffice to say that your accent is not identifiable as British, more Canadian / American.
Don't let this put you off though. There are people who actually like Americans, or so I am told.!

Only joking David. :) :)
