Why can Canadian people mimic English accents but the English people can't mimic the Canadian accents?
My friends, who are twin siblings, came from England and me and my other friends tried to get them to try to speak like us. But they can’t.. why is this? :/
I wouldn’t put them all into that category - perhaps it was just your friends who couldn’t grasp it.
The could if they truely wanted to, They’d probably need to take some speech therapy classes. Thy probabl dont want to have a canadian accent an why should they? They should be proud of where they come from and their cultural differences.
Yes, I know that. I was just saying, because we can mimic them but they can’t mimic us. We were just seeing if they couldd. =S
i feel i can do a pretty bad-ass canadian vocie : l lol
Uhh,, have you ever heard Hugh Laurie talk? He has an English accent and does the Canadian/American one perfect. xD
Not all Canadians can speak in an English accent, and some English people can speak in a Canadian accent. You cannot judge an entire population based on one or two people.
ok , so you said Canadian right, were you referring to a Maritimes, Quebec, Ontarian or Albertan accent. Those are the four distinct accents I could think of. I worked in a phone centre for a while doing phone surveys across the country and there is a lot more difference between Ontario and Alberta than I would have ever imagined. As for it being easier for Canadians to do British accents I think it has to to with the fact that our accents are more just toned down and slightly modified versions of our parent country so it is easier to play it up whereas the British would have to try to tone down their accent a lot which I find much harder.
