Which is your favorite accent?

<p>^ Seriously?? I never liked many Asian accents haha.
The only Asian accent I like is Japanese.</p>

<p>“Look in eye Daniel-san” I love Karate Kid :)</p>

<p>I love the British accent, and sometimes I find the Spanish and the French accent to be a little sexy .</p>

<p>I like the British accent. But not a high pitched one, it can sound very annoying.</p>

<p>My favorite accents are actually the American ones (the East coast one, the Southern accent… not as much).
And because I live in New Zealand I like how (to me) simple sounding a Kiwi accent is :slight_smile:
I’m not too fond of Brit accents, especially on men I find them a little… uneasy.
As for Australian accents, they are not as cool as the NZ accent though ;)</p>

<p>^ Question about Kiwi accents: Do y’all really and an "r’ to all words ending in a? Like, would you pronounce your username “hananer”?</p>

<p>^I know a Brit who does that…Idea’r’.</p>

<p>^ Well people do that for the word “idea” sometimes even where I live.</p>

<p>@MosbyMarion, I don’t think we do… no, don’t.
But of course there are some exceptions for those individuals.</p>

<p>I have a New York accent but I prefer the ones of Bostonians.
For various purposes I also use my Southern accent (which I think I have pretty much mastered after staying in Texas for a week), I sound laughable with my Brit accent and have an “Asian-n00b” accent which is a hit with all my friends… since I’m part Asian and all ;)</p>

<p>I actually haven’t heard enough proper accents. Since I go to an intl school, most people sound like each other.</p>

<p>Has anyone seen the accent archive? This is apparently what my hometown accent sounds like : [speech</a> accent archive: browse](<a href=“speech accent archive: browse”>speech accent archive: browse)</p>

<p>not trying to be racist… but i think black accents just exude coolness (not in the gangster stereotype way. just, very cool.)</p>

<p>asian accents annoy me. I hear them all too much. I especially hate when people who assume they speak good english say “they” like “dey” and say “thing” like “dding”, etc.
bristol accents are my favoriteeee</p>

<p>^ thanks. What is your definition of “asian” accent and “good english”?</p>

<p>i was going to make a somewhat long post talking about this, but i’ll keep it short.
definition of an asian accent; typical accents formed when an east asian (yes, i’m defining the region) learns english as a second language and meshes pronunciations with their native language.
good english; english that seems articulate. i have certain standards, and those were some of my standards.</p>

<p>i don’t hate it when people talk in those accents. i hate it when people talk as if they’re good at english with those accents. it just comes off as arrogant and ironic.</p>

<p>People who don’t speak with the same accent as you don’t know English?</p>

<p>@yoursky, I disagree.
If a native English speaker took up another language, they will most probably sound different to the natives. And not in a way that is helpful to anyone. Even once they learn more and become fluent (especially if they took up the language later in life) they will most probably still have the accent. This is not to say they suck at whatever language they learnt later in life.
Yes I disapprove of the inconsiderate disruptive Asian tourists who are stuck-up and think they can speak English oh-so-well, but it’s unsensitive to despise an Asian person who is confident about their English (their second language) skills while having has an accent.</p>

<p>I have a pretty strong Indian accent but I consider myself good at English. I do pretty well in English class and I got a 790 in CR so accent does not define academic “success” in English.</p>

<p>@yoursky: “talk as if they’re good at english”… That doesn’t compute. Would rather them talk as if they’re bad at english? What does that sound like?</p>

<p>@hanana: Ok, lol. My experience with Kiwi accents consists of the maybe two people I’ve met and all those movie makers that have gotten famous recently… And all of them do that “idear” thing. I guess it’s just a fluke.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’d like to hear that one… I’ve been living in the South for well over a year now and I still can’t define it, even though I’ve started to talk in it.</p>
