Can you guess where I'm from?

Your friends aren't messing with you. You don't sound like you are a native English speaker to me, but my personal experience doesn't help me to guess where you are from.

It's there but very mild. I would forget within a few moments if we were speaking. Guessing Eastern or SE Europe.

I'm gonna say Uruguay? Mexico, maybe?

"...what my accent sounds LIKE...." stands out "Whatever" sounds vaguely non native Please let us know, I can't guess

I would guess that you are a French speaker or another Romance language speaker. Maybe Quebequoise? You definitely don’t have a native-like North American accent.

Brazil. I know someone that sounds similar and she’s from Brazil

The Netherlands ? Belgium?

You sound like a portuguese person in france

sounds French to me 

You're not European, that would be my first thought.

From a country that speaks French and Arabic...Morocco, Tunisia, etc

Another guess for Brazilian Portuguese

Definitely not native .. can sense North African accent.

Portuguese or Arabic speaker?

Brazilian

Not native. A few 'French-sounding' passages but, to me, something of central Europe as well.

South American accent Uruguay, Argentina, maybe Brazil.

I hear clear romance vowels, open A's and E's, I'll say Hispanic, maybe Colombia?, but it could be any romance language: Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese etc. I'm Hispanic, I'm fluent in English, I do have an accent and I don't mind. BTW, as long as it doesn't interfere with your communication, there's nothing wrong with having an accent, actually most native speakers will appreciate someone who speaks perfect English with an accent more than someone who's trying to fake it.

100% russian

my guess is italian.

Ukraine

Algeria/Morocco/Tunisia would be my guess.

Could be far off but I'm thinking SE Asia

Philippines?

Your melody and intonation is the biggest tell. You’re not there yet, but great progress!

Arabic

You speak very well and very clearly and you don’t really mispronounce any words. Nevertheless, a native speaker would be able to tell that you have an accent within a ten seconds and would be curious where you’re from. It’s a pretty subtle accent and I don’t know how to even tell you what it is that gives it away. Maybe you’re pronouncing your consonants more fully than a native a speaker would? I’m not sure. To me you sound a little bit like my Costa Rican friend who speaks extremely good English, or maybe someone from Brazil. Those are just my guesses.

À mon oreille, vous avez un petit accent français. Est-ce que c’est vrai?

I am pretty good at accents but this is hard. It started out a bit German sounding then had hints of French and possible Slavic tones. Some words even sounded a bit Philippines !

I think you're from Indonesia.

**German, natürlich**

Liiiiiiike You sound like my friend from Saudi Arabia. Or maybe a subtle hint of Spanish. But apparently you are French, which I didn't hear at all.

I think people are getting it wrong. I have some Polish friends that sound very similar, so I'm going with Polish. Regardless, it's clear and understandable, you have nothing to worry about even if you don't quite sound native.

persia

You are from Latvia.

I would say Myanmar? Maybe Cebu? Definitely not native English or American. I have to be honest I hear this pseudo American all the time and immediately think south East Asian or east African.

Romania?

im getting french and middle eastern so Morocco.

I'm french and I'm 99% sure that you are as well. 

I'd go for something European, this definitely doesn't sound Asian. Then the R isn't very strong as it would be in France or Germany. Not rolled either as it would be in Spain, Portugal or Italy. So I'd bet on a northern country. Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland...?

germany(I didn't check the comments)

Really good accent for a French OP, just a subtle hints here and there that as others mentioned could give it away English as not your native language

Sounds either Arabic because of how distinct some character's sounds like "t" or Singaporean tongue hidden with a good english accent (some words were pronounced fast like "not really" which could be an indication to that).

I would guess Eastern-Europe, Balkan region

- slight voicing of /s/ before liquids like /l/, e.g. "baseline" - fronting and slight rounding of /ʌ/ - very closed /i/ - more open realisation of /æ/ (like in "accent") - overly emphatic /h/ Makes this sound French to me. However, you aspirate your plosives very well, which would speak against any Romance language.

Got a friend from Montreal who sounds exactly like you 😏

What about Russia or East Europe?

Kazakhstan

So many answers ! I'm really surprised to everyone guesses, many unexpected ones, it was really interesting to read everyone. I did see the right answer a few times, I am in fact french! It's the only language I speak (besides english of course). Also, my goal isn't to sound native, I'm pretty satisfied with where my accent is at, I just didn't hear the frenchness so much. But as a non native, it's really hard to be objective. Thank you everyone for taking the time to take a guess !

Finnish (maybe living in Sweden).

Uzbekh

Russian, Moscow?

You sound like you can speak some Arabic dialect maybe Darija, and you speak French.

Germany

There are absolutely germanic sounding bits, maybe some nordic speech patterns, could be BENELUX maybe a really good english speaker from a mixed area or big city influence..

Bah française

Portuguese?

Sounds a bit like Québec, maybe.

Getting some french, scandinavian and portuguese based. If I had to guess, I go Brazil. Edit: doh! Should have gone with my first instinct!!

Belgium?

Brazilian Portuguese

Your pronunciation of segments is great. Your intonation sounds influenced by your L1. This is something VERY hard to train, and I don’t think it’s really worth it. Can’t tell what your L1 is.

Peru, latin America.

your accent is similar to when an indian tries to master American accent and does 7/10

German. You sound like Heidi Klum.

I'm english native who speaks French as a second language. I worry about what my accent sounds like, plenty of people have told me they didnt know I wasn't French, and then some people ask where I'm from. It's really hard to know what your level of accent is like but I will put it for you this way. If my french accent sounded as good as your english accent, I would not be worried about it at all. p.s. I guessed french but only because you asked me to guess? If I just spoke to you in the street, I would not be thinking about your accent at all. I would assume you were from another english native country.

French

Originally guessed Norwegian, but then I saw you are French. But it’s very good English if this many people cannot tell where you are from.

I wanna say Arabic speaker

Maybe French/Arab? I have a Moroccan friend who moved from France to Canada around age 13-14. She speaks fluent French and Arabic, and those influences her English accent, and I think she sounds like you!

Irish?

I was thinking French till you said base line at the end and now i think it might be South African

Your English is very good but does have a noticeable accent which is fine.

I just talked to someone from Brazil today and you kind of remind me of her tbh. But it can be hard to tell sometimes, and could be a European.

Central Asian accent

You might be from a country that speaks Spanish and your accent is the same one that I have, as we have to accentuate the words like station(estación) or number(Número), we tend to do the same in English when we speak, i've gotten better a hiding my accent, but there's still some😅😅

French

French

Philippines?

It is quite clearly french, but you have a less strong accent than most french people

French-speaking country for me too ! :p

South eastern Europe/Arabic country for sure

To me it sounds like you’re French. The way you say ”like” for instance.

You definitely have an accent but not sure where it's from. You remind me of some of my colleagues from Portugal or Brazil.

The first "like" and "to" are clearly with a french accent. But I feel without those early words it would be much harder to tell.

South east asia ?

I get faint hints of Swedish/Norwegian/Danish.

Listened for 5 seconds and thought Netherlands

Eastern European

As a Brazilian, if I was talking to you I would be trying to figure out if you were also Brazilian but not fully sure. The very open “A”s and the pronunciation of “to” as “tiu” would be my biggest suspicions.

Holand? Belgium?

French

Sounds like a Parisian French accent to me. It's really interesting the wide variety of replies here. To a native English speaker you definitely have an accent. But your English is very good and very easy to understand so your accent is fairly trivial and quite nice. I think the fact that you've adjusted your vowels a lot to English sounds makes your accent more difficult to place than many.

likely french but could also be german, either way, you prob been speaking english for quite some time

greece i would guess

Sound French! but not the easiest to guess in my opinion (I am not native)

From Belgium

Lebanese?

There is a slight but noticeable variation in your pronunciation that makes me think of French, possibly France, a French-speaking country, or a former French colony, maybe an Arabic-speaking country where French is a second language

hi nigerian

Somebody from Europe. Pretty faint accent

people who say french have no clue what they are talking about

French or Russian

Sounds very french.

Slavic diftongs

French speaking Belgian with English as third language. The like as layk sounds familiar

Dutch or Flemish

Sounds like a Russian who can speak French.

I immediately thought Brazilian but once you said 'whatever' I'm thinking something french like

Brazil

Typical filipino

Norway

I can hear subtle differences that stand out to me as a native speaker. I.e - in the first few seconds when you say "guess" it sounds like "gyay-ess". Some kinda "y" pronunciation inserted in there. I'd guess somewhere east of Poland north of persia.

Sounds a bit like Czech to me.

You said "hearing" and "because" the way the native speaker wouldn't, just to name two instances. But all in all you can be proud of yourself.

You sound exactly like a turkish friend of mine so I would go for something in that direction

french

USA

ur a slavic girl for sure, it doesn't sound like basic accent, but ppl, who familiar with the region and nice hearing can tell (i'm gambling)

I am guessing Poland.

french speaking country

It's hard for me because I hear American English accent in there. So whatever country you are from you have learned American English instead of a more neutral English English.

As a none native speaker its hardly to hear. For me (non native) I only noticed some weird undertones when you say "hi guys" especially guys sounds not like a native would say it. And "sounds like". Also speaking so slowly is uncommon for native speakers they dont need to "think" while talking. But that could also be caused by doing a recording if you are not used to it.

You sound like a french speaking person from brussels who is fluent in english

Native Russian with a lot of time spent in the US.

I'll take a wild guess: German/Austrian

Persian!
