Bilangual?

[Iamfrench]

Is it possible for someone to be "naturally" bilangual in Canadian accented english and Australian accented english? For example if a child parents are Australian immigrants, (then they will pick up the accent) and the child is born and raised in Canada?

Unlike you anglo's we French people speak fluent English and French..he he....just kidding, but on topic is it possible to be fluent in two english dialects?

I've heard many Hollywood actors do both English and American accents fluently.
That Renee Zellweger movie comes to mind (forgot the name).
And also Nicole Kidman can do a flawless American accent

Yes, but they "fake" there accent. For example Brad Pitt uses a fake German accent.

And Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe learned their American accent as a "second language", thus it's not natural. They didnt learn it, while growing up.

Many of use could speak with a fake british accent.

btw: which movie??

I knew a guy who spoke normal Canadian accent, but when he picked up the phone and it was his Dad, he would automatically switch to an Australian accent. It was apparantly totally unconcious. The Dad had the accent all the time.

Charlize Theron has played more American roles than many American actresses.

And Marie Antoinette is played by Kirsten Dunst, an American actress.

I have a friend from Trinidad who when speaking with non trinis sounds quite clipped english, but when with other trinis, the trini lingo and accent comes tumbling back.

Same with the brothers & my Singapore friends with their Sing-ish. I can do about 3 accents & perfect Canadian.

In France, Quebec French is not consider 'French'. It was funny, I was acting as translator between a Parisian & a Montrealer with English & hand gestures
