Fell for it. 90% czech, 10% polish. Nothing further from the reality. I guess it just geolocates by IP?
guessed 100% czech for me as well, wrongly

Do people want to learn to speak English like a twangy guitar on purpose?

#43this is the gen z/gen alpha equivalent of those "useless" personality surveys.
stop feeding these companies your data.

#44I'm genuinely surprised it got my accent right. Coming from Serbia, I'd never expect to get it right. My first guess was that it's geo-ip based, but I could be wrong.
a lot of my international friends tried it form the same german wifi and it got all right :)

#45In my case, it said twice that it was Portuguese, but it’s wrong, it should be Brazilian. :-)

I could absolutely see people be willing to pay for this. I am from the Midwest in the United States and I happened to be at an airport in some foreign country. Someone else heard me talking and they came up and asked me where I learned to speak English because it was so smooth. They were looking to get lessons to make their English better or at least more smooth. I thought their English was fine and they were a bit disappointed when I mentioned I was from the United States.

#50This was less interesting than I was hoping for, because it wasn't specific. It said I don't have a non-native English accent. Great, I already knew that. But I'm curious if it could place my regional accent in the United States. I'm originally from the Southern Midwest which has a distinct accent, but have made a great effort to neutralize my accent and believe I now sound neutrally American (what used to be called Nebraska Newscaster).
Sounds like others tried and had similar results (not identifying Australian or Irish accents).
