CC1981 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Personally, i am very flexible accent-wise. IMO, accents are easy to pick up for me, as in Bengali, there are more inflections and pronounciations than in English ( product of 72 characters instead of 26). Since i grew up in my teens/pre-teens overseas, i found i could imitate someone's accent naturally while speaking with them. Unfortunately, this habit has carried on into my adulthood (where if i am talking with a yorkie for hours, i will start sounding like a yorkie) and i have to watch out that i don't over-do it and it doesnt come across as mocking someones' accent.
