    So cool! As someone who was born in the US, I have no Vietnamese accent, and have been told I have no discernible accent that anyone can place me in a certain part of the US, even though I should have one. I’ve tried making myself have an accent and absolutely can’t, in any language. But when I went back to VN every told me I spoke in an American accent with my Vietnamese! So there it was, I do have an American accent after all!
