I remember my next door neighbor before I moved to New Jersey, he freakin had the same birthday as me. What are the odds huh? He was Chinese but interestingly enough, it was quite a common consensus that I had a better Chinese accent than he did. Now that's somebody we call a banana, I'm sure you can get the idea of what this means from the Coconut explanation above. But I'm joking, my friend goes to China every year and talks about how cool it is. When I was younger, I used to play a lot of basketball. Me, two indian kids, and my chinese next door neighbor would play basketball. There was this one day where me and one of the indian kids decided to get some pizza for dinner and because we didn't have out licenses, we had my dad and one of his friends come with me, my friend and my brother. I remember when we went to go get the pizza it was freezing outside, we got the pizza and came back to the car and I told my friend "Rohit (that's his name) hurry my friend." and then my dad's friend got in the car and in the exact same Indian accent I used he said "It's very cold outside my friend." He would always talk in such a way that when he pronounced anything with an R sound in it, he would unnecessarily role his tongue. So instead of saying friend he would say frrrriend. And he would always hold out that a nasal an- sound from friend, it was supposed to be the en- sound but the Indian accent always changes things around. Indians always have the tendancy to change the way that things are normally spoken. They don't speak like Vietnamese people who try to speak English fast like they know it, or Chinese people that talk like they're cutting vegetables with the words but rather Indian people speak with a confidence like they understand how to speak English when in reality, they have no idea. I remember in this religious gathering I go to every Sunday, a couple of weeks ago, there was this guy who was talking to a crowd of people telling them to full out some community service availability form. And finally he said "So you should fill up it" In his ridiculous voice cracking Indian accent. Indians have a tendancy to use unnecessary words and to make those words stand out, they unnecessarily emphasize them. I would remember every time I would would go to one of my friend's houses his dad would always give us an irrelevant lecture on "Getting serious with THE life" and he would say it in an Indian accent so me and my friend couldn't help but to laugh. And Indians also have that mispronunciation problem. They pronounce -s as yes, ear as year, and -z as -j. I remember some of my friends and I came up with ways to remember these. It was kind of like this. "I said yes, -s?", "They cut off my years many ears ago." and "I went to THE Joo and saw THE Jebras but I wanted to play my new copy of that game, THE Jelda"
