Yeah my american girlfriend who i´ve been with for two years and have known for over three years.
Her mother, two brothers.
Her entire family (Besides her mom/brothers/dad ofcourse) didn't even realize at first I was from another place until I told them.
Only my girlfriends close friend could tell I had a slight accent but that's it.
If I actually had an accent, I would have done everything in my power to get rid of it.
I was just lucky enough being able to speak English at a very early age. At least a lot earlier compared to others around me.
Meaning I learnt it from TV instead of a book/Dutch people who speak English. So the chance of me taking over the accent
was a lot less.
Yeah I realize it sounds mean but I dont know.. I guess it's because it is my own language.
I dont cringe if anyone speaks broken English. But if a Dutch person does it... ugh cant stand it.
