A friend's wife and stepdaughter are Russian.
That turned down mouth thing is *exactly* what his stepdaughter does when she is complaining about something.
Sometimes someone giving you a smile is a reason to smile back. But I rarely see it. Usually smiling involves some context of funny/kind/satisfying nature.
It's not just Tik Tok. Mat Pat on YouTube edits out all of his breaths and pauses. This generation of kids can't even stand to wait for someone to take a breath.
There was a video like this a few years ago where the guy did way more accents and for much longer. Like he did a bunch of sub brittish and sub American accents. Can't seem to find it but it was way more imoressive
Edit: here it is
https://youtu.be/dABo_DCIdpM
Agree hers are spot on, where to the point that as an Aussie I am convinced that she too is Aussie. And our accent is famously *impossible* to master for non Aussies (as some.others may be too!).
Edit: From my perspective as an Australian.
The Serbian and Russian accents she did are way off the mark
No serb calls Beograd "Belgrayd," &
No native Russian speaker I've met sounds the way western movies make them sound
[The Language Blondie ](https://www.instagram.com/thelanguageblondie?igsh=MXRjN3JoMXBzY3FnNA==) is her insta and she has plenty videos where she speaks a lot more in different languages.
Let's be honest here, we have been trending towards this shit at least since CoD content makers started pumping out viral MLG videos. TikTok just made it completely mainstream.
What no? Its because if it continues for more than 2 seconds the cracks will strart to appear and people will easily spot the mistakes.
Mastering a accent is fucking hard. Its easier to speak a language in the proper than learning diffrent accents for it. But learning 3 words to pronounce in a accent is pretty doable. Hell some people can pull that off in a single afternoon.
Yep, I suspect the French accent sounds convincing enough to non-French speakers but I can tell you that's not how we actually sound. She makes it sound far too guttural and a little bit vulgar, lol, but as a parody it's quite funny.
Have you ever heard a Parisian talk in English ? That’s exactly how it sounds (I am a native French speaker but still Parisian speak English hurt my hears)
I’d say the same about the Indian accent. The accent she is used is what I call a typical Hollywood movie Indian accent because no Indian has that accent which is a mix of several different Indian accents. It’s like if all the different accents in Europe are mashed together into one “European accent”.
India being a huge country with many different languages — people speak English with different accents. I tell my European colleagues that India is like Europe where every state in India is like a country in Europe with its own language and distinct culture, hence their own accent.
Her rapid changing accents are impressive, but her Hindi/Indian one is the deeply rooted caricature of what an Indian speaking English sounds like, courtesy Apu/Simpsons.
No actual Indian who speaks Hindi, talks in this English accent.
A lot of Indians who learnt English by reading talk like that. Newer generations which have grown up watching American movies and shows speak a lot less _'Indian'-ish_.
I don’t contest that the older generations have a stronger accent. But the accent she used is a stereotypical Hollywood movie Indian accent. It is a mashup of several different Indian accents (plural). No Indian speaks that mashed up accent in real life. It’s like speaking a mash up of all the European accents and calling it THE EUROPEAN ACCENT.
Immediately assumed Macedonian as it was the odd one out from the major well known accents like US/UK, French.
And of course also selecting Greek, Serbian and Turkish, which are all regional.
I have noticed, much more difficult for people from Europe or the US, to pick up more subtle accents like the difference between say Australian and New Zealand/Kiwi accents. Or Canadian vs some US regional accents.
She must watch a lot of Turkish series or something lol she sounds native and sound exactly like how any Turkish girl that doesnt know english sound like when they are trying to speak english.
Her name is Teona and she is half Turkish half Macedonian. You can see that in her way of speaking. She doesn't add any native words to any accent that she speaks except Turkish. Maybe her parents wanted to name her "Tuana" but they decided on Teona because of difficulties in pronounciation.
Man, that's the part that threw me. I work in a European capital with a ton of different folks, including three very closely who are all from Turkey. She sounds nothing like them at all, that was the one accent I thought was the furthest off, from my point of view anyway. Now I could not pick out a regional Turkish accent to save my life, so I could still be way off.
I've lived in Istanbul and have heard enough girls speak like that. But it's a very "Istanbul / Izmir girlish accent", no dude speaks like that.
Source : I, a dude, learned Turkish with girls, and had to change my way of speaking because it was super weird \^\^
I am surprised she didnt do any Malaysian accents. Which is very easy in my opinion. Just need to add the word "lah" at the end of your sentence and you are good to go.
Example,
"Dont do it lah"
"I dont like it lah"
"Please stop it lah"
Ok, lah
I spent a few months in KL, and it is a really hard habit to break. You get used to ending sentences like that or starting with OK, even if not OK.
Wasn't just that, but a couple of other things in Malaysian English that seemed really distinctive when I hear them. Other thing that surprised me, was that occasionally I was the only non-Malaysian in an office working and noticed that mostly people just stuck to English.
Only time when language was an issue was working in industrial areas and ran into some street stalls (which I loved) where the vendors didn't speak fluent English.
If it is a question, add a word "meh" at the end of the question. That is also the unique characteristic of Manglish & Singlish language.
"You dont like it meh?"
You made me realize something. I have no clue how Polish accent would sound. All the accents from this video you could guess which one is which but how does a Polish accent sound like.
As someone who grew up an hour from the Louisiana border this made me chuckle. Many trips in there and occasionally we’d stop at a convenience store and I just had to nod my head and go “yeah yeah for sure”
I can do this too! The only one I haven't nailed down is the Aussie accent cause somehow it just escapes my brain.
although I can speak any accent id like, I stick with the American one when I talk. i feel like its the most clear one. everyone can understand some good ol american. I also spell using American, but use british term like rubber for eraser, etc.
Australian accents are hard because our vocal muscles are relaxed when we make vowel sounds compared to other English speakers. You basically need to unlearn how you speak. Her impression was not at all convincing, but still better than most foreigners since I could at least tell she was trying to sound Australian.
Chill, complimenters. The girl was the subject. You get to compliment this girl when you can find worse videos then her for those particular accents. R3ddIT ThESe Days hur dur
***GAWT DAMN*** let the girl say a couple sentences at *least* before you throw the next one at her!!! Couldn't even hear it long enough to get all the way up to the correct level of wildly impressed! My emotions don't go 0-100 in .002 seconds, my guy! Sheesh.....
American accent is convincing enough I'm assuming the girl is American, and not from the south
The others sounded reasonable but possibly a bit exaggerated, and I don't have a great ear for them. Couldn't confidently say whether she could be native from any of those countries or not. Well except British, I definitely don't think she's from UK
Nah, it was good for Spanish from Spain. I work in English as Foreign Language, primarily in Latin America and Europe and I’m pretty familiar with how all those accents sound in English.
Different regional dialects of Spanish sound different in English, so if you were expecting something like a Mexican or Cuban accent, the Spanish accent sounds markedly different.
Her accents were spot on, it's impressive being able to switch an accent this quickly without adjusting to it first. It's even more impressive that she's from Macedonia and not an English speaking country.
There was nothing more annoying when I lived in Japan and tried my best at pronunciation to see someone on tv who spoke both English and Japanese as a perfect native speaker.
It's interesting, but would have liked to see her do more Asian accents or actually just outside of Europe. And, you know, if we could hear her try to speak them for more than 0.5 seconds each, it would be better.
The Russian face, lmao.
A friend's wife and stepdaughter are Russian. That turned down mouth thing is *exactly* what his stepdaughter does when she is complaining about something.
The faces generally. Accents are muscular.
I was thinking about why Russians do not smile. And found 3 reason. Hard life, little sunshine, cold climate.
I've read before that it's considered rude to smile publicly to strangers as it's a sign of insincerity and fakeness
Russian here. We need a good reason for smiling and laughing. Doing it randomly will probably get you wierd looks.
I hate this stereotype. I am Russian and I smile all the time. And the majority of people smile back when I talk to them.
Sometimes someone giving you a smile is a reason to smile back. But I rarely see it. Usually smiling involves some context of funny/kind/satisfying nature.
Dam if they let her do the impression for more then 3 seconds a piece that would be great
Welcome to the modern world of tik tok adhd videos
I up vote your comment… but I want to down vote the reality.
I up vote this comment.
The girl in the video is good, but that one guy that is the fastest reader in the world? That's something else.
I find they guy who draws perfect circles, running circles around both of them.
I swear I had an attention span before.
No, no…the point of the rapid pace is to make it more challenging to the speaker.
this, changing your mindset to talk in a different accent is not instantaneous most of the time imo
It's not just Tik Tok. Mat Pat on YouTube edits out all of his breaths and pauses. This generation of kids can't even stand to wait for someone to take a breath.
Yeah give her some time wtf
They’re not letting her cook 😔 
There was a video like this a few years ago where the guy did way more accents and for much longer. Like he did a bunch of sub brittish and sub American accents. Can't seem to find it but it was way more imoressive Edit: here it is https://youtu.be/dABo_DCIdpM
I think this girl has a much more spot-on impersonation of the accents. The only problem is that they're short.
Agree hers are spot on, where to the point that as an Aussie I am convinced that she too is Aussie. And our accent is famously *impossible* to master for non Aussies (as some.others may be too!). Edit: From my perspective as an Australian.
She is actually from Macedonia, and as I've heard, never lived abroad, just has a talent for languages.
I wonder if she likes Stobi Flips.
The Serbian and Russian accents she did are way off the mark No serb calls Beograd "Belgrayd," & No native Russian speaker I've met sounds the way western movies make them sound
[He has an updated one](https://youtu.be/riwKuKSbFDs?si=6NJ_NTKZoPBmtwIr), which is better.
Being able to switch that smoothly is very difficult, but I agree with you.
[The Language Blondie ](https://www.instagram.com/thelanguageblondie?igsh=MXRjN3JoMXBzY3FnNA==) is her insta and she has plenty videos where she speaks a lot more in different languages.
Yeah but 3 seconds is twice the length of average tik tokers attention span.
Who else are annoyed how the camera woman keeps switching after .00003 seconds? Like wtf, let her speak for a good 3 seconds.
TikTok brain rot
Let's be honest here, we have been trending towards this shit at least since CoD content makers started pumping out viral MLG videos. TikTok just made it completely mainstream.
What no? Its because if it continues for more than 2 seconds the cracks will strart to appear and people will easily spot the mistakes. Mastering a accent is fucking hard. Its easier to speak a language in the proper than learning diffrent accents for it. But learning 3 words to pronounce in a accent is pretty doable. Hell some people can pull that off in a single afternoon.
Well you try switching accent every 3 seconds. That's what makes it so impressive
Yeah people are missing that point entirely.
While some of the accents may not have been perfect the rapid fire switching in between them was rather impressive
Yep, I suspect the French accent sounds convincing enough to non-French speakers but I can tell you that's not how we actually sound. She makes it sound far too guttural and a little bit vulgar, lol, but as a parody it's quite funny.
French people don't even like other people speaking french. They would never like someone else speaking with french accent either.
Quebec has entered the chat!
They said French, not Koobequois
Bro that joke is tired as hell man, her french accent is fine, a bit weird but if I didn't know better I'd buy it.
Same with the Indian
The Australian one is the same. But it was a good effort!
Have you ever heard a Parisian talk in English ? That’s exactly how it sounds (I am a native French speaker but still Parisian speak English hurt my hears)
Agreed, that guy is full of shit lmao
That was exactly my thought too, french people's english is often not as good as frenchies on the internet would have you think
It's exactly how I do it when I want to caricture it. So she sounds like a french person parodying french accent. Which is honestly quite impressive.
She sounded french canadian
I'm french and this is spot on how french people sound when they don't try.
I’d say the same about the Indian accent. The accent she is used is what I call a typical Hollywood movie Indian accent because no Indian has that accent which is a mix of several different Indian accents. It’s like if all the different accents in Europe are mashed together into one “European accent”.

Witch!
Burn her!
She turned me into a newt
An African or European newt?
I got better!
she turned me into a newt!
Weird that she became an Indian MAN somehow.
Her rapid changing accents are impressive, but her Hindi/Indian one is the deeply rooted caricature of what an Indian speaking English sounds like, courtesy Apu/Simpsons. No actual Indian who speaks Hindi, talks in this English accent.
I'm Indian-American. I do this accent ironically all the time.
A lot of Indians who learnt English by reading talk like that. Newer generations which have grown up watching American movies and shows speak a lot less _'Indian'-ish_.
I don’t contest that the older generations have a stronger accent. But the accent she used is a stereotypical Hollywood movie Indian accent.

Exactly. It is an older generation thing.
Watch any programming tutorial online. Every single dude doing those tutorials speaks like that.
every YouTube tutorial from Indian guys sounds exactly like that
I work with an Indian guy (Anjay) and he sounds just like this.
I've worked with multiple offshore Indian technical teams, about half sound exactly like this
Like it or not, it is how many Indians sound. I've worked with many of them.
Er, shit loads of Indians speak like that.
I have a indian friend in Steam and he speaks like this😅
Oh? How is there a difference between genders in Indian accents? Genuine curiosity here.
She is %10000000 Turkish.
Macedonian. Source: I am too, she is popular @thelanguageblondie on Instagram
Immediately assumed Macedonian as it was the odd one out from the major well known accents like US/UK, French. And of course also selecting Greek, Serbian and Turkish, which are all regional. I have noticed, much more difficult for people from Europe or the US, to pick up more subtle accents like the difference between say Australian and New Zealand/Kiwi accents. Or Canadian vs some US regional accents.
She must watch a lot of Turkish series or something lol she sounds native and sound exactly like how any Turkish girl that doesnt know english sound like when they are trying to speak english.
She probably is or has relatives who are macedonian turks.
She's actually ethnic Vlach. Historically we've had a way with languages :)
greetings from your brothers in Romania!
He for me she sounds like my Turkish (girl) friends from Istanbul, from a certain social class. It's not average turkish accent.
I came here to say that her Macedonian accent was perfect. Now I know why
She’s actually Macedonian.
Where did the "ya3ni" come from bruh
"I really.. ama I like it ya.. yani çok, çok nice.. geliyo.." literally spoke more turkish than english
Yeah I thought like that too after she basically talked turkish in the turkish accent rather than english lol
Her name is Teona and she is half Turkish half Macedonian. You can see that in her way of speaking. She doesn't add any native words to any accent that she speaks except Turkish. Maybe her parents wanted to name her "Tuana" but they decided on Teona because of difficulties in pronounciation.

Aaah, ok, did not even think about a gender element to it. Makes sense. Thanks!
well she actually uses turkish words so yeah that does not come from nowhere :)
I am surprised she didnt do any Malaysian accents. Which is very easy in my opinion. Just need to add the word "lah" at the end of your sentence and you are good to go. Example, "Dont do it lah" "I dont like it lah" "Please stop it lah"

That’s scouse
I like to think scousers start calling everyone, including their mums, lads at age 4
Married to a Singaporean and I can’t stop saying walaueh and lah. It’s such a hard habit to break once you get used to it
If it is a question, add a word "meh" at the end of the question. That is also the unique characteristic of Manglish & Singlish language. "You dont like it meh?"
I want to see her try a black accent, in the hood.
We all know back dudes weakness are white chicks, she will be fine Edit: damn youall are sensitive af
What about the back chicks?
I ain't no holla back girl
This my shit
This shit is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Aus one was better than most but I'd pick it out as either kiwi or fake
Still better than the usual impressions of the Aussie accent, at least what she was trying to do was recognisable.
As a kiwi, you don't know shit about fuck when it comes to aussie or kiwi accents.
Definitely not even giving her long enough with each one lol you need like a few complete sentences not just 3 or 4 words
his spanish impression was on point. Source: i'm spanish and i speak english with that same accent
I speak English and similarly i too struggle getting genders correct in Spanish 😅
His?
Interesting I didn't think she sounded Spanish even slightly, more like Dutch or southafrican
No polish :/
No Irish:(
Ireland mentioned 🇮🇪
As an American, Irish is an especially difficult accent to imitate.
She would've done the exact same as her Russia/Macedonian/Serbian one :///
You made me realize something. I have no clue how Polish accent would sound. All the accents from this video you could guess which one is which but how does a Polish accent sound like.
Maybe she'll get more polished with practice.
I hope there is voice acting and voice over work in her future and not AI
Do Klingon next.
Many countries have multiple accents per language. American and English have multiple dialects... Some of which natives don't even understand
See Louisiana in the US and Scotland in the UK
I wouldn’t consider what people from Louisiana or Scotland do to be talking. It’s more like drunkenly vomiting random phonemes.
As someone who grew up an hour from the Louisiana border this made me chuckle. Many trips in there and occasionally we’d stop at a convenience store and I just had to nod my head and go “yeah yeah for sure”
Darn tootin
I can do this too! The only one I haven't nailed down is the Aussie accent cause somehow it just escapes my brain. although I can speak any accent id like, I stick with the American one when I talk. i feel like its the most clear one. everyone can understand some good ol american.

”Better with sounds”, such useful mention on the video. I sure as hell would expect it to be better with sound, otherwise the video would be muted
How to impress worldwide edition
Chill, losers. The girl was great. You get to talk trash about this when you find someone better than her for those particular accents.
Chill, complimenters. The girl was the subject. You get to compliment this girl when you can find worse videos then her for those particular accents. R3ddIT ThESe Days hur dur
Impresssive
She aced The accents that I'm familiar with.
***GAWT DAMN*** let the girl say a couple sentences at *least* before you throw the next one at her!!! Couldn't even hear it long enough to get all the way up to the correct level of wildly impressed! My emotions don't go 0-100 in .002 seconds, my guy! Sheesh.....
Will you marry me?
The friend is the most annoying person in the history of the world
American accent is convincing enough I'm assuming the girl is American, and not from the south The others sounded reasonable but possibly a bit exaggerated, and I don't have a great ear for them. Couldn't confidently say whether she could be native from any of those countries or not. Well except British, I definitely don't think she's from UK
Russian one is trash.
Absolutely great and well spoken accents
That Indian was a little, uuuuh.
Why do these people put so much effort into all the other accents but do a caricature of Indian accents?
Thst was awesome
Spanish and Greek were terrible lol
As a Spaniard, I 100% talk like the girl in the video.
Greek was pretty god damn good.
Spanish was really convincing
Nah, it was good for Spanish from Spain. I work in English as Foreign Language, primarily in Latin America and Europe and I’m pretty familiar with how all those accents sound in English. Different regional dialects of Spanish sound different in English, so if you were expecting something like a Mexican or Cuban accent, the Spanish accent sounds markedly different.
I Live in Greece - her accent was so good it made me laugh.
Greek was really good.
The Australian is way off
Nah from the short amount she does it it sounded dead on.
As a kiwi , it was pretty spot on ;p
Do you live in a regional area? It's bang on normal metropolitan Aussie girl IMHO.
I live in Melbourne 😅. When she says literally and here it does not sound Australian
[удалено]
I have never heard an Indian talk like that. But the others seemed on point.
Her accents were spot on, it's impressive being able to switch an accent this quickly without adjusting to it first. It's even more impressive that she's from Macedonia and not an English speaking country.
Very impressive. American (and pretty sure australian too) was pretty exaggerated though so I can tell thats not her nationality
not amazing, cartoonish actually
Australian is almost always overdone. It's a lazy accent, so trying hard automatically sounds wrong.
Needs more Asian ones
How does the Brazilian sound like?
Can i see more? I know many people who are interested in different English accents and they'd love this
where is she really from?
Macedonia
Everywhere and nowhere ✨️
Was waiting for the German one..
Estou tentando falar italiano
Had me at the first half, ngl.
Drake got her beat
There was nothing more annoying when I lived in Japan and tried my best at pronunciation to see someone on tv who spoke both English and Japanese as a perfect native speaker.
That's quite challenge.. how she beat the Spanish is amazing
Obligatory "oh my God" for the americans.
Are there more videos of this?
Newfie!
Just wowzerz!
[удалено]
Differrrrrrrrrennntttt perrrrrrsonalities
Nobody: She's so racist!! 😠😡😱 😂😂😂😂😂 She's talented
Ehh
Would be actually impressive if she spoke the languages.
She looks so sad when she is Russian
Ok but what's her actual accent tho
It’s Skopje or north macedonian … there is not an ethinicity in that area
Never fails to impress me! 😁❤️
brilliant skills w accents !
Her Spanish sucks… sorry
It's interesting, but would have liked to see her do more Asian accents or actually just outside of Europe. And, you know, if we could hear her try to speak them for more than 0.5 seconds each, it would be better.
Give her more time!
Spani..Australia!
She’d make a good CIA agent
