I found the accent a bit weird but, honestly after about a week myself in Norway and coming back I find myself sometimes speaking in a lilt to which i got odd looks from people. Have to say her accent is spot on.

I don't know why they bothered translating what Tory said. Nearly all Norwegians understand English very well.

The Norwegian accent in english is a very prominent one, and when a native speaker hears an accent like that, they sometimes borrow it or pick it up. You do it subconsciously, and probably because you want the other part to understand you.

Why does Tory talk broken english?

I'm from up north, but when I visit the south I find I easily slip into a southern accent very quickly. It's as if I were born with a mint julep in hand. :)

American accent is very smooth, and is easily understood by everyone fluent in English. Most if not all schools in Scandinavia teach English English, which some Americans have thought to be rather hard to understand.

The accent comes naturally as you're immersed in a community that uses the sounds, because the brain adjusts to situations very quickly. Just listening to radio programs in US english often makes me pick up sounds from it.

If you are in a foreign country for long enough, the accent isn't difficult to pick up. You notice as she continues talking it starts to fade.
