Lindsay Lohan has caused a fresh wave of confusion while out in Athens, Greece recently to promote her new club in the city (named Lohan, naturally).

Lohan, 30, was recorded showcasing a different tone to her speaking voice, and she says it’s a combination of the languages she knows or is learning, incorporating multiple accents from around the world.

“It’s a mixture of most of the languages I can understand or am trying to learn,” she told the Daily Mail

It turns out her language list is rather lengthy: “I’ve been learning different languages since I was a child. I’m fluent in English and French, can understand Russian, and am learning Turkish, Italian and Arabic.”

Despite being born and raised in the United States, the actress’ accent had aspects of Irish, British and other European inflections as she spoke to reporters.

When Lohan was asked if all of the attention over her new accent surprised her, she told the Daily Mail, “Nothing really shocks me these days. I moved to London four years ago and the taxes seem to be getting higher.”

The Freaky Friday star even took to Twitter, asking fans what she should name the new accent. “What should I call my new accent? I’m thinking #LILOHAN,” she tweeted.
