    the american accent isnt that hard for a south african to pull off i guess. .

    she wasnt raised in the us, but she addaped pretty well when she got here.

    im from south africa, but i am living in the states at the moment. since i got here my accent has changed and whenever i meet people, they dont ask me what country im from - they ask me which state i live in!!

    most white south africans grow up speaking english and afrikaans. if you have an afrikaans accent its a little harder to pull off.

    im from a full on english speaking family and i watched a lot of american tv growing up. so being here changed my accent like crazy!!

    Maybe she was raised in America? Sasha Pieterse is from South Africa yet she speaks like an American. They could of been raised in the United States or they just learned English by taking classes.
