.. I wonder what accent people think about when they talk about the 'british accent'.
Queens english? Anyway, .. british is just to vague. The northern accent is very different to the southern one.

Anyway, my favourite accent? Possibly spanish or italian? They sound nice.

If you are Australian, then you wouldn't really hear your own accent. People from the country they come from don't really hear their own accent, that's just how I see it. I could be wrong?

ew smiley.

Also, I originally came from England before I came here. Wasn't born here.
 
Lol Australian accents FTW, I myself being from Australia have one, and when I went to America, other tourists wont stop complimenting me on it, and I didn't know I had one. But the way people stereotype our accent, I quite like it :).
 
the funniest would have to be the british or japanese person speaking english (i'm not being racist its just my jap teacher is funny)
but my fav is the american one it sounds so cool
 
May I Just say, The British Accent I use isn't posh at all! It's....more like...Slang. But I love it anyways, The accent from the middle of England is VERY different to the southern. Then Australian....
 
I love Australian and American accents.
I have a friend that came from American and his voice is really funny, or was it just him. xD
 
Korean people trying to speak English sounds like they're losing their breath ;_;
 
British accent is win. It's just awesome, doesn't need to be posh or anything, even the normal slang sounds great.
 
I really like the Australian accent... and the British accent, though sometimes it's annoying.
 
Depends which British accent. The accent on the people from Leeds and around there, that accent rocks!
 
I appreciate all accents. It shows the different ways a group of people and a culture can develop. Here are all of these people speaking the same words but in so many different ways. I love the Northeast USA accent for the "aw" sound and such. The Boston accent is cool too. Southern accents are incredible because it's like a bunch of different accents all grouped together. The Canadian is so close to the American at first, but then you realize how different they really are. The South American spanish accent is so much different than the Carribbean which is completely different from the Spain one. Then there's the European languages (and the Asian) which incorporate their respective language dialect into their English speaking. I also love how similar British and Australian accents seem at first (by the general population), but when listening closely you can tell them apart in a blink of the eye.

So I don't really have a favorite. I'm just more fascinated in the way they sound in general. <3
 
British and Italian.

British because after watching Harry Potter a million times you have to love it. It just sounds so cool especially Dan Radcliffe's voice, and when your cousin picks up a flawless accent you are pretty much forced to either tolerate or go along with it.

As for Italian, I'm not too sure as to why. It just sounds really really cool to me - it sounds so rich and deep. Must be my Italian genes coming out.
 
The British accent most people are familiar with is the 'posh' one- not everyone here speaks with it, even if you're from the south where it's supposedly a lot more prominent. o:

I like most U.S./Canadian accents myself. ^_^
 
I like British, mostly because their English is different from what I'm used to hearing. They're vocabulary uses different kinds of words and slang. Stuff like that I find interesting. I like all accents though, since they each have their own unique sound.
 
I like American accents :pink_giggle:

British accents are really cool, too. And Japanese, when they're really strong.
