What gets me going is Virginia.
I can almost hear it anywhere sometimes because part of my family ancestry has been burned out twice by war and other problems in our and before we were a Nation there.
Buy some oil.. at the truckstop there?
Oh you mean OLL..
? Oil.
no no OLL right?
fine OLL let's get some of that.
Have me a little fun with that sometimes.
Louisiana gets me a fit to be tied sometimes, but I make do. Breaking out a touch of like elementary school french when needed. Not more than a few badly mangled words that makes em laugh all around. But we get by. I just soon stick closer to Cromwell which is not far from the Lancaster area. -
I am pretty sure OP's question was about fresh immigrants and nobody talks about that lol

Perhaps we Southerners are more intelligent than most give us credit for.

Girlfriend was born and raised in Milan Italy. She started studying English in California at the age of 5. It was stil
Pretty broken up at 21 until I kept correcting her which she did not mind.
Now her girlfriend from Italy who learned English at a much Oder age and learned it in Texas was a whole Nuther Story.
You ever hear broken English come out of a pretty Italian girl who learned it in rural Texas.

Actors have more skills. I was surprised to find out a while back that Nicole Kidman was Australian, or Russel Crowe for that matter too. .In a movie script they will sound perfect, especially if their natural, first language is English.Still, I'm sure in a real life situation, if you took her on a trip together, after a day or two,you'd figure her out....even with precision that she's Aussie.
