What speaking accent do you enjoy hearing?

British and Italian are probably my favorite Accents in English. I love to listen to French.

I love the accents from Great Britain and I need to get there someday!!! I want to go to northern Scotland and Torquay especially.

i absolutely love british accents. so cool.

Yorkshire, Lancashire, Welsh (probably Geordie too if I could understand what they are saying)

The accent of love ;)

oh man. where i work we just got 2 new people from israel. they speak hebrew, obviously, and when they speak english i literally melt into a puddle on the floor. i also enjoy every other accent.

@Axemusica YOU ROMANTIC

Australian.

Ach Laddie, Scots mah fayvrrit.

Italian, puerto rican and british

I know a couple- he’s from Bangladesh and she’s from India, and I love their accents. Her accent has a musical sound, and his accent is sort of drawling with lots of long vowels. I work with someone from Dakar, Senegal. His native language is French, but his French accent seems subtly different than the accent of someone from France.

I love the British accent and whenever it comes out of a guy’s mouth, oh lord, melt away.

I would probably get used to this.

Of course it does make me swoon when I hear an international accent, mostly British accent and the rest would be French, Italian, Australian.

It does actually inspire me to learn their language and visit their countries.
The Englishmen has attracted me to go to England & I have been to England it was amazing, the place is beautiful.

Accents that hail from Spain are beautiful. Penelope Cruz and Paz Vega are prime examples.
I also love Australian and French accents.

Irish! And Spanish.

I’ve always been a fan of a Chinese accent. Chinese is a sort of musical language because it’s tonal, and that carries over when they aren’t speaking their native tongue.

an african doctor from zimbabwe spoke at my church a couple weeks ago and his accent sounded so warm. you could just see the women mesmerized.

I’m a fan of pretty much all accents. Russian and Swedish I think are good ones. I like to speak my limited Spanish and French because I enjoy the sound of both languages- French because I’ve learned a few words more recently.

I like the one that sounds sophisticated and arrogant.

@rovdog a partner of mine at work does a great russian accent. he’s actually very good at many. but hearing his russian accnet while doing everyday american work is funny.

@ItalianPrincess1217 i must agree. when i hear giada on the food channel talk about parmesan and ricotta, i hear that italian tongue and it just makes me want to eat the big screen.

new zealand accent…to die for :)

hmmmm, nobody mentioned that southern accent. uh yeah, it has it’s charm.

Alan Rickman’s, which is that of an educated middle class Englishman. Except in his case, it’s the melodiously deep timbre of his voice that makes it so appealing. Otherwise, most accents don’t make much difference to me.

Scottish, Spanish and Italian.

Hebrew.

@charliecompany34 I have that southern accent.

Scottish, irish, a good southern drawl, a wee bit of hillbilly, a touch of midwest country twang, and of all things, japanese. Oh and that northern Minnesota/North Dakota accent always made me feel at home.

@Zen_Again love to hear ricky riccardo (desi arnaz) rant and rave on those old lucille ball episodes.

@wonderingwhy what does minnesota sound like?

@charliecompany34 – There’s got to be at least 12 different Southern accents. My grandfather spoke with a Tuscaloosa, Alabama twang, while my grandmother had more of a Virginia drawl, one that most of the women of my mother’s generation inherited (but I haven’t).

And if you see the Coen Brothers’ movie Fargo, all the characters have that upper, upper Midwestern Minnesota accent, like this.

A female’s British or English.

@charliecompany34 I was thinking of Penelope Cruz and Selma Hayek.

@Zen_Again oh my God! YES! i love that sexy vernacular!

French
I almost creamed in my pants because of that “I’m a PC” commercial

@charlie Try to contain your enthusiasm. This thread is getting sticky.

;-)

Scot and Irish. Ooooo. (shudders and quivers)

Scottish, Jamaican, US New England

@Zen_Again ok ok. spectacles. testicles wallet and watch.

@anartist uh yeah. jamaican is way up there on my list.

Scottish and Spanish :)

British, it seems like a lot of us are partial to the brit.

We used to have this guy at work who spoke Polish. On his break, he would come in the office and call his family. I could listen to him for hours.

German is great. And Russian makes me feel like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish Called Wanda.

Southern USA twang

Japanese and American Southern curl my toes.

I like Edinburgh accents, but I can barely understand Glaswegian at all. Nor Aberdeen, even when Johnny Depp uses it, which he has in two movies. And Invershnecky might as well be Norwegian as far as I’m concerned, though I’ve only heard it once. I personally can’t enjoy hearing an accent if I can’t understand what they’re saying.

Dutch, German, Swedish and Russian.

Oh, and Italian.

Dutch accents are super adorable.

British. Go figure.
Which is also my favorite accent to talk in.

You know what’s pretty? Icelandic!! It sounds like water.

Southern English is the only one I can tolerate; all others are anoying.

I really like the Italian, Irish, & Russian accents…. for different reasons.

british british british!!!!<3<3<3<3<3

That crusty hollow accent of “Can I take your order please?!”

Irish is my favourite, followed by English West Country (Somerset).

american and australian i would have to say.

I agree with @susanc about Icelandic. Was listening to the Icelandic President on the news this morning; I like the melodic quality.

Also Danish does it for me – just watched Clash of the Titans yesterday with Mads Mikkelsen and I liked the way he sounded (Ok, and the way he looked!).

Plus American, of course. Chicago to be precise.

and spanish to i would say british but i am british so cant.

British, Australian, Indian, Pakastani, and Penelope Cruz’s accent when she speaks English (she’s from Spain)

British, Spanish, and Australian

Sorry. I love a man from Nawwwwwleans. Men from Europe sound like Women to men. How is that attractive? I don’t want to have sex with a Woman.

All of them really. American South esp. Texas, Cumbrian, Cockney, Scottish, Indian English, New Zealand…

Same for German. I like all dialects and strive to improve my ability to recognize them on the spot when for example listening to someone on the train.

British n how they pronounce the R is WOW.rly luv it n french as well.i think french is for delicate ppl LOL

It’s funny, I used to really like British accents, but after spending a week in England… I don’t want to say I don’t like them anymore, but they aren’t as appealing as they used to be.

@toomuchcoffee911 I’ve gotta know what part of the country you visited :)

@JeffVader Just London and a small village on the North Sea. Why, you don’t want to like the accent?

@toomuchcoffee911 Hahaha…. it’s not that, being from a small town on the North Sea I’m just aware that some British accents are easier on the ear than others :)

Francais, or Dutch. Both have a way about hiding and creating for better or worse ideas of love zealous passions and anger.
