When speaking English, I have the same accent very many other Estonians do: Bland, emotionless. Estonians have this nifty way of speaking English without expressing much emotion at all. That is maybe so because of what the Estonian language is like - We spell everything exactly how it's written, with very few exceptions. For instance, if I were to write the pronounciation of the word 'Cat' in Estonian, then it would be 'Khätt,' 'Mouse' would be 'Mäuss' and 'Angel' would be 'Eindžel.'

You can pronounce every word more-or-less correctly in the most common, usual way to say them, and still have this accent.
