    Even if I try really hard I can't do any American accent.
    However, whilst speaking English I do a great Indian accent, a decent French one and a fabulantastic Dutch one.

    I love Dutch accents. I grew up in a Dutch-Canadian village and if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much!! I have a verjaardagskalender hanging on the back of the door in my bathroom.

    Wow, you even spelled verjaardagskalender right, I am impressed!
    And ofcourse, as a final touch, god created the Dutch.

    Wait a minute, there are Dutch-Canadian villages?!?!?! I am really starting to love Canada now.

    Yes. Catholic Dutch community, however. My priest would give masses in Dutch every now and again. Eh, I play rummy, eat sammiches with chocolate sprinkles on them and I ask my neighbour John how his red geraniums are doing. I also smoked quite a bit of weed with people twice my age, in my time growing up there.

    It's a very Dutchy place, indeed.

    I suppose you also wore wooden shoes and ate lots of cheese whilst playing with the windmills?

    I <3 Speculaas.

    And yes, I played with my dad's wooden shoes, I ate lots of edam and planted tulips in the garden.

    I still do not like those black licorice salt candies however. Worst thing about Dutch culture, I think. Yuck.

    OH MY GOD. There are millions of licorice(like) candies and they absolutely rock the tastebuds. I can not believe that most people outside the Netherlands do not like them. How can someone not like a candy that god himself created?

    I have a southern accent. Thank goodness I have a north Georgia accent instead of a south Georgia accent.
