Hello everyone. My name is Hunter and I am from NY. Of course not. We often call America melting pot. A lot of different cultures, different groups of people find home and refugee there. So naturally there's gonna be accents from different places, from different people mingling together.

I think the most distinct be Tx. because my mom's family's from there. I am ready for this. I think I can do a pretty good job.

Hi. oh my god, you're so pretty. Oh my gosh, you're so pretty. What's your name? I am Chelsie. What's your name? Hi Chelsie, I am Hunter. I love that name.

I mean it's just great to meet you. Nice to meet you too. I am already trying to figure out.... I know, it's like laser beams going through my brain. Fighting. you can do it. go girl, go girl. You're from America, right? I am. In your state, would you say that the weather is more warm? I think in my state, the weather acts accrodingly. She's boing vague... she's playing coy with me.

OK so... what are something that are popluar? What is this smacking? what are you tasting on? I got it from my cat. Don't do it back.

play coy

Popular things... film is popular. tree is popular. traffic is very popular. Do you know like the nursery rhyme, peter piper?

At first glance, like, hearing your accent, No. But I think, as you talk, a little bit more, I am picking up on it.

Yeah. it depends on the words. I think for me also in my up-brining even though I grew in the inner city, my mother was very much like like strict in how I spoke in the house.

That was really good. I am from North Cata...sco.

How did you get that I was from NC? Your accent? There's some tint of southerness. But I think when you said people said aunt or aunt. Because I experience too with the people that I know we kinda of go back and forth and the cowboy hat was that giveaway so that made it southern...

I can feel it now it's coming out little bit more but it's i sound like I said North Carolina instead of North Carolina and we say y'all stuff like that. that would have been a good question. Yeah. I was trying not to say y'all. because i knew that giveaway.

Hi. what's your name? My name is Shalon. You're from America. I've lived abroad for almost 10 years. So maybe the accent might be a little bit harder to distinguish. Yeah the accent is gonna be hard.

So you come from impressionable state. We had Neal Amstrong and John Legend from my state. State size is similar to the size of Korea Also for baseball and football. Are there any popular foods?
