tbh the "we used to own you finnland"-joke reminds me of how we germans make the joke "the only way to go to france is in a tank". like from the outside view it might sound like.. almost like a fascist thing to say and its obvious why people might think that, but its really just a running gag or dark humour at best.

I can tell you have an accent when speaking English, and I can tell it’s not a Norwegian accent because I’ve been to Norway and I study bokmål norsk. “Nordmenn” tend to keep their native language intonation when speaking English - and that’s kinda funny sometimes. Anyway, as speakers of English as a second language, we always give it a flavor of our own native languages and that’s cool :)

In the 1632 series of science fiction books, an American town from West Virginia gets transported from modern days to 1632 Germany, in the middle of the Thirty Years' War. They use their modern technology to keep themselves independent, and join Gustavus Vasa in forming an Empire that contains most of Germany.

In Fahrenheit there are 180 degrees between boiling and freezing. Celsius only has 100 degrees because...Easier? Easier for what? What computations are you doing in your head when you need to know the temperature?

I would definitely have guessed somewhere in Scandinavia, but wouldn't have placed Swedish specifically for the accent. If after saying that I was told I had to be more specific, it might go to Swedish, as it is the first Scandinavian country that comes to mind, but I wouldn't have said so confidently.

In my opinion, I'd say you have a Swedish sounding accent with Danish undertones.

Interesting fact: Sweden held a referendum on joining the EU in 1994. The "Yes" side won by only 6,5%.

Listen to skillet

I'd say you have a Swedish accent, but not very pronounced. It's kind of funny, but the words Sweden and Swedish gives it away. Also the J sound, as in Joke. Perhaps other Nordics make the same mistakes, but to me you definitely sounds Swedish

It's more than that but much subtler than the "J" sound. All his vowels tend to send a bit not English. I find this common in non-English languages. I hear it because I listen for it. Other English speakers may not pick it up. It has to do with the way people are used to using the "tools" in one's mouth to produce sounds, like the tongue, and even gets into the shaping of the mouth as a sound chamber. However, his English is still, very, very good. Another subtle thing is prepositions. They just don't transliterate well from one language to another, or the various ways English rules might define plurals.

@@lauribleu7558 Yes the grammar is a slight bit off, but that has nothing to do with the accent. The J and W sounds are extremely common to mispronounce for Swedes, that's why I gave them as examples. Also we don't typically mispronouce them the same as say Germans or Danes do

@@matshjalmarsson3008 All very true. German is the only language I can speak of with any authority. I noticed a long time ago, in spite of some of the similarities between the Nordic languages with German, that they were creating sounds that did not exist in German. I am fascinated by that. I listen for those differences and analyze them, learn what I can about languages. I know, for instance, that "W" and "J" are treated differently in many languages and in different ways. Re: syntax vs accent. Syntax interests me because I am drawn to systems. My English grammar is far better than that of most English speakers. As a USamerican, I am fascinated by the differences between other English languages and our American English. I know a little about the history of English and so I sympathize with, while also being amused by, non-English speakers struggling with our grammar rules. As a side note, it may not surprise you at this point that I am teacher, but I am merely a lowly art teacher. That is a self-deprecating joke that criticizes our US educational culture.
