Why do Swedish people and Nordic people sound like Americans

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0IZ_TEzg7M

>>68466029
I don't think so
They pronounce z as s
And w sound as v
I can always tell that it's a a nord when they speak English

Swede that immigrated to America here. I guess I just watched lots of TV, and I played video games at a young age.

The generic American accent is more recognised from media and it's an easier accent to learn than British ones.

>>68466937

>>68466514
a college degree, 3 years of studying, English faculty, second year of the second degree and I still don't understand how the fuck did the brits develop this accent.
this shit is just beyond me.

>>68466976
Brits are legit retarded.

What a dumb accent that sounds nothing like how the words are spelled.

>>68466029
Probably because a lot of popular English media is American. Even brits watch some of our shows.

>>68466029
because english is an amalgam between the languages spoken by the angles, the saxons, the normans and the viking raiders. it has the basic sounds that scandinavian languages have more or less. and because the american R is the way english used to be spoken before british english adopted the british R. their accent is just natural and very close to english.

>>68466029
They probably consume a lot of American media. Africans always speak English with an American accent, too.

>>68466877
Cuckolding was created by USA. Why are you blaming others for what you have created yourself?

>>68466029
also the danish tend to speak in a more english accent and the norwegians and the swedes sound more "american".

>>68466029
>They sound more american than British people do.

wot

They do sound like yanks though, must be the accent.

Norwegians especially. Also Dutch do a bit too.

>Scandinavians speak better English than British people do

I don't get it either. British people need to practice a lot and start pronouncing more like the standard (American) way.

>>68467024
>Probably because a lot of popular English media is American. Even brits watch some of our shows.
lol are you retarded

all other immigrants have accents and also consume american media

why do swedes and nords DONT have accents?

>>68467216
I think it's because they're native languages are pretty much useless so it's critical for them to spend a lot of time speaking English. Also the shows and movies they watch aren't dubbed so they get a lot more exposure to English.

>>68467216
thats why
>>68467034

>>68467295
cool thanks

why can't more people post actual facts?

>>68467320
also when you say they sound american and not english, im guessing you mean the royally sounding english - the snobby one, which everyone in america thinks sounds "smart". like stephen fry talks more or less. im guessing you dont mean the regional accents - cuz the peasant english - i dont know where exactly its spoken, but its where the farmers are. when you hear it you can see how much closer it is to american and to nordic languages.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScELaXMCVis
especially this one, since yorkshire is where the vikings settled for a long time.

>>68467446
>>68467320
and the sounds are preserved, because languages evolve in metropolitan areas. the industrialization began in england, so english english changed a lot more than american english. you can see the same thing now in the US - the parts that have changed they way they sound the most are LA and NY

>>68466029
NA english is the most plain sounding english. British and australian english accents are much harder.

>>68466029
I think most english learners will end up sounding american, it's pretty much impossible to develop a british accept without being a try hard, the american accent feels much more natural and easy on my voccal cords

>>68467503
>>68467687
It's the same for me. American english just sounds more clear and is easier. Also, most media is in american english.

>>68466937
>>68466964
what are you even talking about?
american/canadian accent is the easiest accent to develop for a non-english speaker

>>68467805
it used to be the same for me, but i tried really hard to try and sound english. now trying to sound american is very hard for me. the sounds just dont roll off the tongue easily. i think the english accent is easier on the mouth. i dont really sound english either, but american have told me i have "an english accent". i think its just a bit englishy bulgarian accent.

Well no fucking shit, that inevitably happens when you standardise written language.

It's a combination of a few things:
>a lot of exposure to the North American accent in movies, music etc.
>strong chance of hearing a lot of regional Norwegian dialects on tv + Swedish and Danish from an early age (has a residual effect on language learning in general)
>a big communicational and financial inclination to learn English as a second language
>the phonetic properties of NA English: clear, sharp, easy to pronounce, only a few foreign sounds ("th", and the "r") which are easy to learn

>>68467966
Don't judge all languages by the vile abomination that is the Danish language. Plenty of languages have pronunciation very close to the spelling.

If your talking about the standard stereotypical RP British accent the answer is easy, Posh Cunts. It's from the industrial age after we split from them. Middle class in urban SE England (London area) started talking like that to sound different nfrom the lower classes. Its an intentional not natural development. But as others pointed out their regional accents differ more than North American ones.

It is actually an ancient thing. If you're talking about porn then you for once can blame American Jews and it's not a conspiracy theory.

thats because youre used to people wanting to learn english. germans dont want to not learn english, they dont try as hard. the same with the french, the italians, the spanish, the polish, the slovaks, the slovenians, the serbs, the hungarians....
the people who want to learn english (some more than others) are the swedes, the norwegians, the danish, the dutch, the belgians (more the flemish than the waloons), the bulgarians, the romanians (well to a lesser extent)

you see it as a sign of respect? wtf
