What is your accent?

English wise, I try to mimic the british accent, with not so good results.

Spanish wise, northern mexican, which is a very neutral and clean one.

Heh, if you tell a Spanish person that northern mexican is neutral and clean, he'll be like 'get out!'.

Everyone sees their accent as neutral, it is only others that can tell you that you have an accent.

OP: In English, some weird blend. I'm Spanish but everyone tells me that I don't sound Spanish. I've been told I sound European, but that it is difficult to guess where from. Quite a few people thought I was French but my French friends told me I don't sound French at all. So I don't know...

In Spanish, pretty much the standard Spanish you see in TV and movies from Spain, with less of a Madrid accent. When I go back to my region, the Basque Country, I start having that particular accent again, but not so strong that people will notice immediately.

Indeed, in Spain the most "neutral" accent you can find would probably be the one in Castilla y León (as long as you don't find someone who speaks Bable), which will be quite diferent to ghost_of_fazz's accent.

I'm also Spanish or Catalan depends on who you talk with and when , and my Spanish accent is catalan, which means different sounds for the letters "L" and "S" among others. Also, when speaking catalan I have accent, the North-Western one, quite different from the one here in Barcelona (Eastern). 

P.D.: Tío, si empiezas a tener acento "cañí" vas a tener problemas
