[@ragnhildmd5063]

@@livedandletdie I'd say that is highly individual, or this is at least what I'd day from personal experience. Some people seem to have a knack at easily wiping any traces of an accent, for others it takes time, and for some there will still be remnant of an accent regardless of how much they try to pronounce words in a "native way". My French teacher for example, she speaks English, French, Italian and Norwegian (Italian is from her parents). She has a quite prominent accent when speaking both norwegian and French, but she's fluent I both and have lived in norway for 20+ years. Saying that "oh its because she's lazy" because she still has an accent after using the language daily for over two decades seems like an odd claim, but if you'd like to elaborate in any way, please go ahead. (to clarify, I'm not trying to be snarky. I'm just genuinely curious if you have any thoughts/input on this)

@@Correctrix Well he does, one language with a British accent and the other with a French accent.

[@Correctrix]

@@TangerineTux No. “British accent” is meaningless. An English accent in English, a French accent in French, a Chinese accent in Chinese, and a Korean accent in Korean is by definition the same as saying someone is speaking properly or accentlessly.

[@TangerineTux]

@@Correctrix Not at all. What I called a British accent and a French accent were of course a more vague description than they could have been, but regardless, everyone has an accent, just as everyone speaks a (or at least one) dialect. If you speak with a Parisian accent, then someone with a Toulouse accent will rightfully perceive yours as different from theirs, although both are French accents. And both of them will sound foreign to French speakers from Canada or from Congo. What is the definition of “accent” that you are using that makes your statement true? Are you using “accent” to mean “foreign accent”? In which case, one question is, foreign to what? If you call a certain pronunciation “accentless”, then you implicitly assume a certain reference. What justifies the choice of reference?

I remember the day I "got" a joke in another language. I'm a native English speaker. I've been trying to learn French (off and on) for about 20 years now. I was once conversational, but I had nobody to speak with and I've lost a lot of it. Planning on a concerted effort in 2020. The joke was awful. It was a French "dad joke". But I laughed like a nut case even though it was awful and I should have groaned, simply because I "got" it. Humour is very cultural and can be very specific, so I was totally not expecting to "get" the joke. As for telling jokes in another language ... oooooh boy. Not even going to attempt that one. Multi-lingual comedians have my absolute respect.

@@annesauviller3069- Learning something is always your own responsibility though. Not the responsibility of your teacher, or the government, or anyone else. French education in the Netherlands (where I'm from) is terrible, so as an adult (living in Brussels) I did everything I could to learn to improve my French. I don't want to sound mean or harsh, but a lot of people here act as if their high school language classes are their only chance at learning the other national language, and if you can't speak it by the time you graduate, then it will never happen. The truth is that most of the learning takes place outside of the classroom.

I actually thought he was bragging at first, but the more he spoke, the more I noticed his adopted native french tones. I would not confuse him for a native on voice alone I suspect, though it's hard to test that theory now having already heard it.
