that guy is actually half-Vietnamese..haha..but when i saw his video...he reminded me of my uncle. oh and dat phan is hilarious!
yeah my uncles accent is really really thick, when he speaks english to me its like he makes up really funny pidgin. lol...im guessing your father has probably learnt more, having lived in Canada longer...but my uncle still speaks quite influent/inarticulate English despite having lived in Australia for over a decade. Maybe English with the Australian accent is just too hard to understand.

I've lived in the US almost all my life but for some reason I still have problems speaking English, LOL. I sometimes speak like a Korean who's naturalized! [Like my mom] I don't know why, but for some reason it just happens to me...... I guess a "FOB" accent, lol.

i can imitate absolutely any accent that isn't australian, scandinavian, or midwest american. everything else, i can do perfectly, usually with regional inflections.

I think it's cool that the aussie accent is hard to imitate, most of the foreigners end up sounding british when they try. ahaha.

I can do most accents with a bit of practice and listening.

Some people here in Holland say that I have an Amsterdam accent. But I also have a New Territories'(HK) village accent when speaking Cantonese, because I used to live there as a little boy.

I don't really know what accent I have, it's a mix of Queen's English (posh?) and American which I guess it could be considered as an International School accent? When I first emigrated here, my friends at school always tried to mimic my accent and as time passed, it stopped, I suppose my accent became more British over time. However, the local accent here is awful, very! I will never speak a word of it!

Not very Australian, as most people here would say when I speak to them. They can hear the English a little, but when I go overseas eg. to Singapore, they can tell I'm from Australia.
