A lot of the accent changes come from words and phrases you wouldnt have said in your native accent.

For example, no one in England says "hey, how you doing?" when you go into a shop. Youd say, alright mate, or something. But thats the standard greeting here. Since Ive picked that up I say it the "american" way.

Ive noticed that with my Uncle who has lived in Canada for ~15 years too. He still sounds broadly English with a slight twang, but if he uses a Canadian term he says it with a more pronounced Canadian accent.

Ey?



We kept getting mistaken for Austrailian / New Zealanders when we were in Whistler.
