I have a kiwi accent. Whenever I watch New Zealand films, their accents sound kinda funny and don't sound like me at all but the American and British films I barely notice the accent at all. Some people say that I sound British or American when when I talk though. Maybe I should stop talking so much to my American friend and stop watching so much Harry Potter

English isn't my first language. Being from India, I would say I have an Indian accent.

My accent is weird - no, I'm not the first to say that about it. I was born in Wales, UK, so I naturally have a Welsh accent. Then I moved to Australia a few years ago, and kind of picked up the lingo. Now the Aussies easily pick up the British accent, but the Welshies (I know, I made up a word!) claim I speak with an Australian twang.
Note: Australian accent sounds kind of like Cockney. If you've heard both, you'll know what I mean

I've got a big Brittish accent so It's not the best one I speak.It's because I was born in England and 90 Percent of my family is from there.

I have a sort of... middle-class-Northern-English accent, sometimes I sound a bit Mancunian, often I sound a bit scouse - if you're from England you'll get that but I don't know how to explain it... XD

I'm from Serbia, but since I started speaking fluent English I have had an American accent. I've been trying to shake it off for quite some time. I can do most accents, but British is the hardest one for me.

I have a minnesotan accent as many people say. But my friend Becky on here (yes the Becky UN Becky lol), who's from England, says I sound weird, don't say sounds like I'm supposed to. I don't think I have an accent, but many of us in northern Minnesota are told that. I think I have my own way of saying words though. I don't know if it's because it's how I've always talked or changed my way of talking.
For instance like when I say Thank you, I'll say "Thank ye." lol!

Well my accent is kinda weird because it's supposed to be Jamaican since that's where I'm from but most Jamaicans say I sound like I have an accent so I guess I don't sound like them...?

British accent! And god does it annoy me when people try to imitate me. But I'm pretty sure, if I was an American, I'd do it too. XD.

Aussie accent. I speak decent slang too... though I'm far from being fluent.
I pick up European accents super easy though. Depending on who I talk to/where I am.

I don't really have an accent. I'm just from Upstate New York and we don't really have an accent but I can do a pretty good British accent.

*posts again* well it has been over a year 
So over the last 8 months Becks and I have been doing skyping and I've started picking up on British speak and accents. Between her and Lu trying to teach me to speak 'proper' and spell things properly (like flavour, colour, rumour) I've started taking on a British accent
Is it just me and Minnesota or is Dragon sounded with a long A? or even 'bag'?  we still argue over that xD

That was a poor description.
I'm British and have an almost posh accent, courtesy on my dad who's from London.
