Was it hard for you to english?
Well.
I studied since I was a kid and I liked since then. I studied in an English School for a year, after that I just practice Reading tech articles on internet, Listening music and Watching Movies and series.
So, it wasn't 'easy' but I enjoy it so...

I know that sometimes I misspell some words, but I'm improving everyday and I really want to move out to Canada, so...

Where at in Canada?

It doesn't matter really.
Wherever I found a Job.
If I had to make a choice, i would like Toronto, Calgary or Montreal (I speak French too).

The only thing that I want it's get out of this country
 
A little bored here, what else can someone do early in the morning? So, I’m bringing some old topics back from the grave. :D

Yes, I have an accent, but people can’t quite pinpoint where I’m from based on it.
Funny enough, a long time ago, I was asked if I was Chinese during a phone call. That really surprised me:huh:

I think he probably assumed I was from China because, at that time, there were many people from China moving to Australia.
He heard an accent and that was likely the first thing that came to his mind.

I also considered that maybe I used a word that made him think that.
My best friend back then was from China, and her husband was Scottish. We spent a lot of time together, having many BBQs on weekends when the kids were young. Maybe I picked up some words.... who knows?

Light New York accent. It’s annoying when people are so loud like quiet down.
 
I suppose I have one to someone somewhere in the world, but no one has ever told me I have one.
That’s so true, we all have accents in our own way. :p

I usually mention only the accent I got from moving to another country, but I also have a slight accent from the region where I was born.
Most people wouldn’t notice it or know it, so I don’t usually bring it up.:D

I'm originally from Central/Southern California, and when I first moved to the PNW, people often told me I had an accent, lol. I don't think it was the typical valley girl though.

The USA has a wide variety of accents, so it makes sense that people often notice and comment on them.
