No body really has answered my question on another forum I had asked.
I would like to know if you can tell which country I come from? In the video I speak English, Cantonese and French. Can please you let me know if you can tell where I come from? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5UBMnSHs38 What accent do I have? Do I have native English? Thanks.

Maybe nobody answers you, because so many people read your blog, and therefore know where you're from ;P 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I can't really tell much from the video. You may or may not be a native English speaker; I'm bad at judging that when people have or aim for non-North-American accents. I have no comment on the Cantonese. Your French doesn't sound native, but I don't have a good enough mental model of the sound of the language to say much beyond that.

just by the movement of your lips it seems, to me, like you neither English nor french, though your accents sound pretty good.

I only watched a few minutes of the video, but from what I heard, you don't have a foreign accent when speaking English at all. When I heard your pronunciation of the word "now" I would place you as an Australian.
The quality of the video was kinda bad though, so something might not have gone through. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You used very little French in the video, but it appears to be the one that needs the most work out of the three you spoke.

Given that he said he's been only studying it for a month, that's quite understandable. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
