Many Americans especially those that live in big cities are very used to people with different accents. I think an accent shows the effort someone has put into learning another language that is not your native language . Im learning Korean right now. I definitely understand feeling insecure to speaking a non-native language. Especially when asked to speak Korean by my teacher. I thinks it’s crazy that we are not taught another language at a younger age. Like English is taught at a young age on other countries.

I find this amusing, because quite a few people come to the United States on a regular basis and earn their citizenship. In my city, we have people originally from Australia, Croatia, Russia, the Philippines, Hungary, Mexico, Honduras, Columbia, Ireland, ad nauseum, but all of them are Americans. We also have quite a few Americans who were born here in Texas who speak Spanish as their first language (at home) and English with a Spanish-accent. My wife's late great-aunt's entire family traces their American roots back to the Republic of Texas, when her ancestors fought for Texas independence from Mexico, but she never spoke English as her first language through her 96 years of life. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren do and without any accent, but they always spoke Spanish to her.

One was Soevi. She was Indonesian, and often apologized for her English. I was constantly telling her that I could understand her much better than Mr. Mullick, a native English speaker of Indian (not Native American) descent.

There are 50 US states with about 330 million people on a size 28 times bigger than Germany. There is not "the" American accent.

@@vankroenen2145 I mean sure. This is just my perspective as a non-native. To me she did sound convincing probably because I am used to hear all sorts of European English Accents including German.

I‘ve lived in London for a while and get mistaken for a British native, mostly by non-natives but also Brits as well. So I guess it depends really on your own experience with the language.

@@revolucion-socialista in the English language there is no distinction between the nationality and someone from the Americas as there is in Spanish (americano/estadounidense). American would refer both to the nationality and someone from this half of the world, obviously given the nature of the video it’s about the nationality. It’s also taught in the states that America (continent) is two continents, North and South so people would say “The Americas” rather than America. Cultural differences

@@revolucion-socialista Not correct. The term "American" has referred to North Americans of European descent since the 1600s (when the term shifted from describing native peoples to colonials). This term was imposed by other countries around the world, not by Americans themselves. In languages around the world, the term for a person from the US is some derivation of American. Further, the demonym American makes sense when you look at the names of the countries in the Americas. In the United States of America, the only place-name is America, resulting in the American term. Mexico, for example, is the United Mexican States, with the place name referencing Mexico, hence Mexican. The Republic of Ecuador results in Ecuadorian. The Federative Republic of Brazil gets Brazilian. Again, the United States of America results in American.

I love how the Spanish girl couldn't control her laughter. That will be me for sure. Looked like she would let out a chuckle any moment.

In all fairness, the fourth girl was British, so she is a native English speaker. Americans imitate British accents, so it’s reasonable that a British person would be able to sound like an American. The *real* way to distinguish would be to try to test their knowledge of the American dialect. Unfortunately, this requires some degree of knowledge of *how* the American dialect differs from the other main dialects of English. All three of these women would’ve learned British English, which is what is studied in the EU, but there is also the Southern Pacific dialect spoken in Australia and New Zealand, along with lesser known dialects in other parts of the world, such as South Africa. Also, I’m pretty sure the state directly west of Texas is New Mexico. It could be Arizona, but… I feel like the Grand Canyon, which is in Arizona, is located too far west for Arizona to be next to Texas.
