I'm ramblin' like shit here, got inspired by ramblinrover. I'm stuttering a bit, not that comfortable with recording myself. But I thought this would be a funny thing for you guys.
Sorry about the shitty quality.

i came for the sharp inhale instead of "um" and came away pleased. Such an interesting idiosyncrasy

Oh man, I wouldn't be able to identify if the person was Scandi or English. The accent just sounds too similar. But I'm sure there are some key words that help

The um is me being shy. I really don't have that much ingressive sounds when I speak English (well.. I do sometimes have a pulmonic ingressive when I say "yeah")

The fact that I fumble words would point to the fact that I'm not a native speaker ;)

You forgot to add the "Eh" to the end. "My name is John Johnson, I live in Wisconsin, Eh.

I would not place your accent as Scandinavian. To my ears you sound British but slightly off.

There's one word in Norwegian that we use a lot that we often breath IN on.. and that's Ja, the Norwegia word for yes. If you're American you can try saying Ya while breathing in and get the word quite correct.

That's my point really, and most people my age (from Norway) speak like this.. There's no doubt about the fact that I'm not British, but you can't place the accent either. And I guess this is true for most people really, it's quite hard to point out where people live when they speak English, and that's the beauty of it :)

i actually got quite good at it while i was there, between our limited vocab, a focus on the accent and my wife looking obviously norwegian, we fooled a few people for a few seconds.....maybe

If you speak English on a daily basis it's not that hard to learn scandinavian. If you know some german words as well you're pretty much set. :)

I can tell a Polish accent. But I spent a summer working with a bunch at a summer camp in the kitchen. Unless you regularly speak with people from an area I imagine it is quite difficult to place their accent.
