Hi

I have seen closed off in the sense of reserved. Does this sound natural to you?

When I first met her, she was very closed off.

Thanks,

I'll have to add another 'no'. I haven't heard that expression with that meaning. Maybe it's British?

Thanks, CJ and AStar.

I think the speaker is from the US. Regional dialect, in your opinion?

Site Hint: Check out our list of pronunciation videos.

The man who starts speaking at 17:53 speaks General American as far as I can tell, though there may be a little Mid-Atlantic (East Coast, neither far north nor far south) accent in there. On the whole, it's middle-of-the-road American English with nothing very remarkable about it.
