What accent is this? Hi guys,
A friend of mine forwarded me the link below and ask me what accent it belong, but honestly I couldn't tell.
What do you think?
soundcloud.com/user1112711/audio-sample
add 'http' in the front of the link
Thanks
Chris

Teacher Re: What accent is this? Not necessarily Japan- in fact, probably not, but could be some other Asian country.
