I'm sorry for you in your jealousy. She has a perfect accent~~

so, I think the ... ( 5 months ago by Rosannasfriend)

so, I think the point is that she's doing an accent that isn't hers very well. Also, I don't think she's faking it, she learned English by studying how they speak on The Price is Right. She's said it several times. And your post contradicts what you previously said, either she really knows English or she doesn't.

no she has said ... ( 5 months ago by Tigerlily21)

no she has said time and time again that she moved here and learned english in an American accent. So that's the way she speaks english like every one of us.

she didn't and not all of them do. that's why the world thinks us americans are ignorant because we assume all nations should or do to some extent speak english. that's like someone saying all americans speak spanish. a lot do, but not all

Charlize's home ... ( 5 months ago by GeniusSparrow)

Charlize's home language is Afrikaans, which is a language that evolved from the Dutch language taken over by white settlers in the 1600s and 1700s. About half of white South Africans are Afrikaans-speaking at home, and the rest are English-speaking.
Charlize studied English at high school, it was a compulsory subject, but she spoke it with a strong Afrikaans accent. It's true that she really "learnt" English in the US, and so her accent is a fairly generic (not regional) American one.

By the way, she ... ( 5 months ago by GeniusSparrow)

By the way, she still speaks Afrikaans every day with her mother Gerda, who moved to the US after Charlize became famous.
