    I’m bilingual, and there are certain accents I can only do in Dutch, and certain accents I do only in English.

    When I switched games with Dutch friends from an English to a Dutch GM, my friends were like “she does the BEST Russian accent”.

    Yeah sorry, I can literally only do it in English, just like my incredibly racist Arab accent only works in Dutch (and preferably not at all).

      This is hilarious. Now I am uber curious what other accent/language combos there are. Also, does your Nederlands influence your Engels? I mean, it must a little, right? So what would a French influenced English language Russian accent sound like??

        does your Nederlands influence your Engels?

        I’d like to think it doesn’t, but yeah, I can ALWAYS hear when a dutch person speaks english, so it probably does. Also, “Dunglish” is one of funniest/worst accents.
