I only got three right. The south was a giveaway, and one of the middle atlantic speakers was identifiable. The sentences were way to short. The regions were too large. None of the Midwestern or northerners sounded
like Chicagoans, and none of the New Englanders sounded like Boston or Maine. I think the premise of the is fun, but this test was faulty.

If any of you are interested in accents, you might like the speech accent archive. I have had it bookmarked for a long time, and it is a fun site to browse and listen to the accents of different people (native and non-native English speakers) read a text. Trying to mimic the accents is the funnest part.

It is always fun to try imitate accents. Can you imagine, my accent and then, I, trying another accent?! |

Yes, by all means try to imitate accents. I can only imagine what a Chilean/Southern accent sounds like. I do it in Spanish (for fun--Argentina, Puerto Rico, and Spain, but I can't get beyond sí claro in Mexican). I can't sustain the three accents I attempt to imitate, because my Spanish isn't good enough.

If they think you're from another Spanish-speaking country, you can get away with lots of things--- botched metaphors, idioms, vocabulary, intonation etc, because you have plausible denial. They have no way of knowing if that is a legit way of saying it "where you are from".
