Can I ask a favour from the native English speakers please? It’s just to spend 10 secs listening to a record and tell me where do you think the speaker is from :slight_smile:

If any of you can do it before tomorrow it would be nice, I will send the record by mail

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Send it to me! I’ll listen tonight.

Send it over here too and me and Apollo can compare notes.

thanks! sending now

5

I would say Scandinavian accent, definitely not British or US (unless trying to fake Scandinavian)

Apollo might nail the country.

6

Thanks Joe. The two voices sound the same to you?

7

Different actors (unless he is good at different voices)

Both Scandinavian, I think

Does not sound scandihooligan to me. The first one sounds robotic and the second one is trying to hide his Spanish accent? These accents are very difficult to decipher. I would say from your latitude Carlos. But definitely not Scandinavian.

How far off am I?

Thank you chaps, don’t worry if you were not able to decipher it, was not an easy one.

Supposedly they are from Guyana, but to me they sounded more “European” like, and needed to know if I was completely off. Looks like I wasn’t :slight_smile:

Thank you!

Wow! Off buy many miles, lol. Now at least I know how that accent sounds.
Wikipedia says this:

English is the official language of Guyana, which is the only South American country with English as the official language.[1][2]
Guyanese Creole (an English-based creole with African and/or East Indian syntax) is widely spoken in Guyana.[1]
A number of Amerindian languages are also spoken by a minority of the population. These include Cariban languages such as Macushi, Akawaio and Wai-Wai; Arawakan languages such as Arawak (or Lokono) and Wapishana.[1][2]
Other languages spoken include Chinese, Hindustani and Tamil . [1][2]
Second and third languages[edit]

Portuguese is an increasingly widely used as a second language in Guyana, particularly in the south of the country, bordering on Brazil. [1] Dutch and French are spoken by those who frequently visit neighboring French Guiana and Suriname. French is widely taught in secondary schools along with Spanish as foreign languages. Spanish is also used by a minority of the population as a second language. Spanish is spoken typically by visitors and residents from Venezuela.[3]
