"Where are you from?"

Yah I speak English and some say that I speak English pretty well. I guess that my grammer is terrible but the accent is ok. So when I talk to the people from foreign country, some say "You speak English so well!", and some say "Where did you learn your English?" and so on. But recently people started to say "Where did you get your "~" accent?" yah my accent is kinda mixed up and confuse them. One of my friend from Canada told me that I have aussie accent, and I didn't even notice that I have it. And other asked me if I have been to britain or not because I have a britain accent sometime. lol. And sometime people ask me if I am a girl from california la. they think that I talk like teen girlz in CA. lol.

Ok so people asks me about my accent when my english is way better than "speaking english well". Ya know what i'm sayin. But there is another thing if I speak way way way better than this. People will start asking me "Where are you from?". Ok I live in Japan, I'm talking to them in Japan in English. And so they think that I don't live here and just visiting Japan and so on. Ok if I was just "speaking english pretty well as japanese" than I don't think that they will ask me "Where are you from?". Because usually, if a asian looking girl speaking in English in Japan, that means she's just a japanese girl who can speak English, so no one will ask you "Where are you from?". Yah that's what I think and recently, most of the time when I speak English, people will ask me "Where are you from?". And I think that it means my English accent is getting way betta. lol. yah it's just my silly boastful thoughts.

But wait, I think that if my English get better than it is right now, people will start telling me "You speak Japanese so fluently.". What da ya think?

1. If your English is good than they will say "You speak English so well!" or will ask you"Where did you lean your English?"
2. If your English is better than good, they will say "Wow you have perfect american accent!" or "Wow you have "~" accent!"
3. If your English is super uber good, than they will ask you "Where are you from?" or "Are you from Australia?", "Are you from Britain?" and stuff.
4. If your English is too good and so so so good, they won't even notice you that you're japanese and japanese is your first language. So they will say "You speak Japanese so fluently! How long have you been living in Japan?".
