Sort of how after all these decades Arnold Schwarzenegger still speaks with a strong accent in person? Gosh it's almost as if learning English and speaking it without an accent is difficult or something. Difficult even for brilliant people, and Arnold IS considered brilliant.

What he revealed was that it was still difficult for him to speak perfect non-accented English even after decades of coaching AND that fans expected to hear his Austrian accent.

Which raises a question - is it a physical thing with how the vocal cords develop while growing up and learning the original language, an unconscious mental block that prevents a person from getting rid of the accent, or a combination of both?

Sure we talk about non-English speakers having the accent after learning English but can the same be said if an English speaker learned Japanese or Russian which are two languages far removed from English.

From what I understand the answer is 'yes'. Most native speakers of a tongue can identify non-native speakers even after the person has been speaking that language for decades. You may not be able to determine if the guy speaking accented Mandarin is from Texas originally or from London; but you probably can pinpoint that the original native tongue was a variant of English.

Donolt still calls her Nancy or Nikki Bwahahahahahaha!
