When I talk in voice chats on discord 65% of people tell me are you Russian? I tell him no I am Algerian.
Someone asked how are you Algerian if your accent is Russian? even some people from neighboring countries like Morocco, Egypt and Middle East tell me I sounds like Russian more than Algerian and Eastern Europeans tell me too I sound Russian.
I didn't learn English from Russians I self taught myself English from the internet
How common is it for immigrants in the USA to have accents that are not from their countries?
