    yeah my grandmother's Lithuanian and she sounds nothing like the Lithuanian person on the game. The person on the game sounds like some sort of native English speaker, probably being one of those few people who learn English without retaining their original accent-ation.

              I suck at this and am afraid to try. The only english accent I can recognise is scottish. the others are a blur.

                36, though a few were very lucky guesses, particularly about local accents from Australia, Britain, or South Africa.

                  The guy from Perth sounded more like Brisbane.

                    26. Sometimes I think people had uncharacteristic accents for their location, and other times I had totally lucky guesses.

                      11. If it had just U.S. accents, I'd do better.

                        8. I suck at this kind of thing. I can't even recognize the accents within my own country.

                          I got a 22. I think there is room for improvement.

                          I kinda thought it would one accent from one country at the start. I didn't think there would also be regional variations.

                          Anyhow. Not bad not good.

                              It's the full-blooded whininess of the voice that made me think that.

                              I also got Cheshire and Birmingham wrong. I guessed Brighton for one of them because the buildings looked classic Brighton (but then I wasn't really listening to the test as I was a bit drunk).

                                I got Cheshire right, but it wasn't a very easy to spot Cheshire accent, it was more that it wasn't any of the others. And the Glaswegian was easy because he looked a bit like Billy Connelly
