so i'm guessing that you've met someone from another country or atleast heard them talk.

so whats your favorite?

its a toss up for me; the irish accent, or the new zealand accent. it'd be pretty cool if i could talk with either one of them

My favorite is the American Southern accent,and it's being lost to the influence that TV and the internet have over young people here .

Japanese.

Okay, since I'm not born in a country where english is it's main language I'll express my opinion on the accent that everyone has when they speak Portuguese! (Am I even allowed to do so? )

We're getting to the peak of summer and there are lot's of foreign turists around here. (they can get soooooo red that I don't know if they're a shrimp or a person!)

But it's always fun to listen to the accent of them foreigners. From british to finns to spanish, all of them have trouble speaking portuguese and all of them have an unique accent!

My favourite is probably the German accent. They discover tongue twisters with our own language that we couldn't possibly imagine.


As for English language, I do find that Scottish accent extremly funny.

Sorry if I've changed the topic a little bit but, hey! it's the stranger's point of view!

My wife is from the Philippines but spent much of her youth in Guam. When we went to the Gulf War in '91 we sent the kids to guam for a year. When we picked them up, they had developed this beautiful accent that I call a "sing-song" accent. Each sentence is ended on a high note. Just Beautiful to hear!

I live in Northern Ireland, we don't have quite the same soft soothing accent as our southern counterparts.

I've noticed that a lot of people from non-english speaking countries have an american accent when they speak english, I put it down to watching too much friends.
I couldn't not include an honourary mention of the kiwis.

I think psychologically people like others who have accents from different parts of the world. I would LOVE to travel to Europe, I hear a lot of countries are particularly fond of Canadians.

I'm a sucker for a pretty colleen's Irish Brogue; love it, love it!

I grew up in German and French but went to grade school in English. I then went to three different high schools in Europe..in English, French and German. People were always asking 'where are you from'?

After university I did two years military in Israel where, at that time (1979), we joked that the language was 'New York' . The last couple decade of mostly living in Canada has beaten me into Canadianism.

Favorite accents in females...Italian and French. However, I really like females singing in Portuguese

Maine - ayuh - Bob Marley style (the comedian, not the musician).

The Newfoundland accent is often mistaken for Irish and/or English as a lot of places in the province have kept the dialects of the English and Irish towns and countys their founding fathers were from.Personally I love Scottish accents,there are so many but I particularly like the Glasgow and Inverness accents.One of my sister's teenage friends was from Glasgow and she was not only a knockout but I could listen to her talk for hours.I had a good friend from Inverness who was a folk singer on some note in Britain -Hamish Imlach he was another person I could sit and listen to for hours and often did-he was a brilliant man.
