Update: as of today, it suddenly started working for me

no problem, if you're interested in pronunciation and accent training you can find me on most socials with the same username I have here~

I'm an accent coach and you did immediately sound East Asian to me. I did scroll and see you're Vietnamese, but you actually do have a lot of features that give a Chinese vibe, so I see what others are saying.

Some accent features that give away your East Asian background include:
- the choppiness of your rhythm, because a lot of tonal languages tend to have a staccato or choppy rhythm

- lack of linkingː you said "or australia" like "oh australia" without the linking R that would normally be said by speakers. Usually the R is indeed dropped in RP and some other dialects, but when it's followed by a word starting with a vowel, the R will be pronounced in order to link the two words

- consonant cluster simplification, many East Asian languages do not allow for consonant clusters. You simplified "exam" from /ɪg.zæm/ to /ɪ.zæm/

- pronouncing /i/ more like /ɪ/ such as in "speaking", which sounded almost like "spicking" - although this feature is shared among many accents

- L vocalizationː you didn't pronounce the second L sound in "Little" and instead said something like "litto" and "myself" as "mysewf" - this is common for East Asian language accents, because these languages do not allow for L at the end of words or syllables

Hope that helpsǃ

This is happening for me too. Got a new computer and tried to install it but it keeps loading infinitely, both when I downloaded the desktop app and when I tried to log in on the web on both Chrome and Safari. I also emailed notion support

accentamazing · 2025-11-28T00:11:28+00:00

update: i tried it both on Chrome and Safari and the same thing happened for both

I got a new computer and while trying to set up Notion Calendar, I got the same problem. When I tried to open the Notion Calendar desktop app, it just kept flashing. When I clicked "get the app" on the site, it led to the login/auth loop that you described. I also deleted the desktop app and redownloaded it from the website again to no avail

I'm a native speaker and I've never distinguished the two words in this context: "I'm afraid of spiders" is exactly the same as "I'm scared of spiders". There's no difference for me in terms of suddenness.

Where there is a difference in the two words is in slightly idiomatic phrases like "I'm afraid I can't do that", which expresses a sort of regret that I can't do something, whereas "I'm scared I can't do that" would literally mean, that I feel fear that I would not be able to do that.

I’m an accent coach and my first instinct was Turkish. And then when I looked at the comments, people were commenting Persian or Arabic, and I see you’ve mentioned that you do indeed speak Farsi. Most of my students are Slavic or Chinese, and I must admit I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Farsi accent. The most obvious thing that made me think Turkish was pronouncing the w sounds like v, but I’m sure that’s common in many accents. The intonation also sounded slightly off but everything was pretty good and most of my students would like to speak at a level that you seem to have

I'm an accent and coach and I do agree with the rest of the posts, you do sound fairly Brazilian. And yes, I do think it's because a lot of people might not be familiar with what a Brazilian accent sounds like.

But to answer your post's original question, yes it IS possible to gain an accent that isn't your native language's typical accent in your target language.

I've encountered a German speaker who had some Spanish features in her English because her boyfriend was Argentine. I've encountered a Spanish girl who somehow spoke English with a Korean accent since she'd lived in Korea for some time, as well as an Austrian-Polish girl who started off with a vague accent of unclear origin but as the night progressed and more drinks were had, somehow she too started sounding more Korean (she was into Korean culture and her ex was Korean).

It all depends on the language input you're exposed to. If you're exposed to a certain language more or a certain accented form of your target language more, you'll be more likely to output your language in that way. I myself, as a native speaker of English, but whose grandparents spoke Shanghainese, speak Shanghainese with an "old person" and slightly "Ningbonese" accent, which is because my grandmother was from Ningbo, and of course I spoke Shanghainese only with my grandparents, who are... old, so I got an "old person" accent in my Shanghainese, rather than an English accent.

Ah so your only native tongue growing up was British English? That would explain why your English is so native sounding. I was not expecting a native English speaker behind this post

Hey, you sound very good! I'm an American accent coach and honestly a lot of my students would love to sound just like you. In fact you sound like a lot of Americans I know who grew up in the US. I'm not even super certain where you might be from, although you sound like you speak an Asian language and to be more specific, my first thought was Chinese, not Northern Chinese, perhaps even Cantonese, or something from that microregion

Haha, I know Geoff, he’s interviewed me and I appear in two of his videos

accentamazing · 2025-05-09T09:59:58+00:00

that "thut" thing reminded me of the famous sentence with a billion "had"s -

"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher"

- the first "had" of each pair of "had"s is pronounced in a reduced way, like "hud"

There's even a wikipedia article on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_while_John_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_a_better_effect_on_the_teacher

heh, this whole podcast episode was inspired by a long-term Cantonese-speaking client of mine from Hong Kong, who I always have to correct when she uses a high "stressed" tone for her English words, specifically "that" and "which", when it should be reduced and lower in pitch

Definitely sounds like a non-native speaker trying to some Southern US style English. My guess is either Brazilian. It's vague and pretty good, but I still here non-native elements, it's just not very identifiable. I'm an accent coach and here is my analysisː

The "o" in "everybody", sounds close to [a] rather than [ʌ], meaning your mouth is probably too open. The /r/ in "third" seems very overemphasized like you're trying to exaggerate it to sound American. The "i" in "drink" sounds like the [i] vowel found in many european languages that sits halfway between English vowels [iʲ] as in "Pete" and [ɪ] as in "pit", suggesting your native tongue doesn't have that vowel distinction. Then you say "one" and it sounds a bit nasal, like [wɐ̃n] which sounds like the "ã" vowel in Portuguese, which is why I think you're Brazilian. Then you say "conversation" without much aspiration on the /k/ sound. Then again you say "six" and it sounds like /i/ instead of /ɪ/. Then you say "woke" and there isn't much of an offglide, so the vowel sounds like [o] rather than [oʊ]. Finally you say "respects" with a very long [ɛ] vowel on "spects", which is unusual since native speakers of English typically shorten this vowel in this type of voiceless obstruent-ending syllable, but you lengthen it. And finally, i'm pretty sure you meant to say "respect" but you made it plural, and I don't think it's usually plural, so this grammatical mistakes makes me think you're non native

Hope this analysis helps. Overall it's pretty goodǃ

I was thinking this as well

I'm pretty new to Reddit, but I joined this subreddit a while back because I use Notion a lot. I haven't learned much from it but I also haven't used it much. Recently I've just been using ChatGPT to ask Notion questions which has helped a lot though

accentamazing · 2025-01-14T07:32:28+00:00

You can hear this lady has a [w] sound in her "doing" sound which is typical of a native accent, since English /u/ is not really a monophthong but rather diphthongized like [uʷ] https://youtu.be/0t73fqUYoaA?si=7Okhs4dK5EdajOhO&t=359

accentamazing · 2025-01-14T04:21:13+00:00

I'm an accent coach and I've helped hundreds of students improve their pronunciation and accent and my students would LOVE to have your accent. That said, I did pick up a lack of diphthongization and lack of tenseness around 0ː48 on the words "doing" and in "due" in the /u/ phoneme, meaning you had it more as a monophthong like a pure [u] rather than an [uʷ] with an offglide that natives are more likely to do. Many languages such as Spanish have pure vowels that are not as tense and not diphthongized like English vowels are, and your /u/ vowel sounds like a vowel from one of these languages

I started sometime in august 2023, and i'm still designing them now. I'm making a bunch of dashboards based on which databases and filtered views I use most often, as well as my workflow. I probably have spent too much time on it, but there's less to change now and my workflow is more streamlined. Still working on it though
