Do Canadian teenage girls speak like Valley girls?

-How different is the southeastern Wisconsin accent from the Chicago accent? -

And what about Wisconsin / Minnesota ?
Minnesotans ''hear'' people from Wisconsin pronouncing Wisconsin as ''Wiscansin'' (with [æ] rather than [ɑ])

Now that I think about, probably the thing I notice the most strongly about my relatives from the Chicago and even the Kenosha area speech-wise is that they sound very "flat" in how they speak to me, which is probably the comparative lack of vowel length variation as well as weaker overall intonation relative to my own dialect.

>>And what about Wisconsin / Minnesota ?<<

I really cannot say for certain considering that I really have not interacted enough with people from Minnesota while actually paying attention to such, but it is certain that they have a much weaker NCVS if any at all than people from southeastern Wisconsin (even though apparently aspects of it have reached southern Minnestoa by the present).

>>Minnesotans ''hear'' people from Wisconsin pronouncing Wisconsin as ''Wiscansin'' (with [æ] rather than [ɑ])<<

That is probably having a weaker NCVS than southeastern Wisconsin, even though we don't actually use [æ] for such. Again, though, apparently enough of the NCVS has reached southern Minnesota such that the STRUT vowel is further back than the FATHER vowel (even though the above would indicate that their FATHER vowel is still further back than that here).

(Also, the only people I myself have really known from Minnesota are two relatives of mine, who are really originally from southeastern Wisconsin, and a roommate of mine, who actually spoke in a quite GA-like fashion to my ears and likely is not representative of less GA-like dialects spoken in Minnesota.)

>>U.S. English is destroying the good English spoken in Canada. A British kid has a much better pronuntiation and language skills than a US teenager.<<

LOL - Canadian English is an integral part of the North American English dialect continuum, and in no way is really all that distinct from American English. Furthemore, as for "better pronunciation and language skills", you do know that most Americans actually speak far more standardly (if that is "better") than British counterparts, and you do know what Britons are not really well-known for their skill in learning foreign languages either, do you?

Be afraid, be like totally afraid. We are taking over the world! lol.

People do say I sound like I'm asking a question all the time. I don't notice it. I guess its just a bad habit or something?.

lol good for you chica.

The question intonation is pretty standard in large cities in Texas as well (Dallas, Houston, etc.).
