Favourite accents.

Hello,

OK, no dessert for RetiredHippie .

I as most other Germans learned basic English at school. That was more than two decades ago. At that time I had not much trouble to understand other Germans speaking English. I think it is because we all make the same mistakes and have the crude structure of the sentences. Years later I discovered international conferences and the internet and things changed slowly. Nowadays it's sometimes hard for me to listen to English speakers from Germany. Not to say that I can do it better, my accent is pretty hard I guess .

When I went to Germany and spoke in my normal voice (A Canadian accent) they laughed at "how bad" my English was.


Germans are to English what Americans are to French.

 

i really like how that aussie actor talks the avatar language...MMmmmm

 

I have difficulty in Germany also, with my accent (more to Poland, France, for example). I think, it is worst in Bavaria (I have people do not understand my accent at all). However, people here are very patient and kind to me.

 

Hello,

don't worry. I have difficulties to understand people from the next valley .

I'd have to say my most favorite and most hated accents are both all american. A southern accent is so sexy.. but new york accents are so fucking annoying

 

The philadelphia accent

 

no offense to my fellow americans.

But since I moved.to aus at the beginning the amount if times people thought I was american lol. Now mt canadian friends tell me I'm sounding aus but ppl here still say I'm yankee sounding look

that does sound hot.

I want to have sex with a french canadian girl. mmmm.

 

I am betting in the three or more years that their accents have changed.

 

British worst
Spanish best

 

It's just been done so many times before ~sigh~

Nothing beats a german guy saying sausage

 

I like girls with any sort of European accent. Especially any Scandinavian, German and French.

 

I used to know a girl from South Africa and I loved her accent.

Scottish accents are pretty awesome.

I love a good New York accent too; well, really only male accents. The female New York accents set my teeth on edge, but something about that accent in a man is so sexy.

I hate certain types of southern accents because I have to hear them every day and I just want to scream "LEARN HOW TO TALK."

I do like the old-fashioned genteel southern accents that belongs mainly to the 70-95 year old age group.

 

The irish accent is sexy on girls at least i think so

 

I'm a New Englander...I hate the New England/Boston accent. I pronounce my R's and people think I'm foreign...

I like almost all accents and I think almost any accent could be sexaaay...except for Asian/Middle Eastern.
