Native English speakers, what are your opinions about
foreign accents? Which accents are funny, charming, sexy,
ugly and so on?

Just a question, what does "kinda" mean?

Gente, quanto vorrei poter comunicare con voi in italiano..
Sarebbe sicuramente molto meglio, mi piacerebbe davvero
poter capire tutti i topics e rispondere subito alla vostre
domande senza impiegarci troppo tempo.

Però sono davvero contento di essere migliorato nel tempo;
all'inizio facevo veramente fatica a capire cosa dicevate,
ora mi trovo molto meglio, riesco a comprendere quasi tutto
ma ancora mi manca qualcosa per essere un perfetto
English Speaker

glitchy

the icelandic language and accent is possibly the greatest
there is.

the lancashire accent comes a close second :)

presuming we're discussing people speaking english -

yeah i love dutch accents. really amusing.

french accents are great. italian accents i don't like when
they're speaking english, but it's a joy to listen to them
speaking italian.

i really like most northern english accents..

can't stand the Cork accent (like anyone else from ireland
who's not from cork), and most american accents, especially
girls' accents, really grate on my ears.

and speaking of the which, it's strange: we had this
phonetics lecturer from Russia who spoke in a perfect BBC
English accent when speaking English, and then in this
completely different accent when she'd use Russian words as
examples.

same with our German lecturer, who apparently learned
english in England. her voice would completely change once
she stopped speaking german. quite startling.

I didn't like American accents, then I started liking them.
Strange. I like to hear all accents, though. Nothing bothers
me much. Actually, germans speaking english is sometimes
tough to handle. I met some guys from Holland that sounded
almost American. They must teach accents too.

The only accent I don't like is SOUTHERN accents. It just
makes people sound so ignorant, but thats more of a mental
thing that I have to deal with.

Getting a bit obscure, I love Jewish New Yorker Jackie Mason
kinda voice :) How out of place I'd look with such an
accent. Northern Irish is nice. Geordie accent is
legendary...

Yea Dutch accent is slightly amusing as is South African -
both a tad quirky!

I used to find scottish girls saying 'crisps' a turn on.
I've grown beyond that stage now.

I find southern accents very soothing. Depends. A slight
southern lilt to a voice is wonderful. Maybe you mean a
stereo typical red neck accents. Or hillbilly accents.

one of my neighbours is from newcastle and talks geordie. my
dad has had whole conversations with him and when i ask him
"what did he say?" he has often said "i have no idea". i
don't know if that is because my dad is trying to be funny
or if there's just no way understanding the guy.

And on the topic I should mention that our local
Boston/Eastern MA. accent is like nails on a chalkboard to
my ears.

Yeah ...the whole 'pahk the caaah in hauvuhd yahd' type

yeah... boston talk is annoying... i had a car worker that
spoke that way... i find mexicans with a southern twang (the
ones in texas) wierd. i ran into a couple of those when i
was in the military.

Yeah i guess it depends on who's talking and how much of it
there is.

The Boston accent doesn't bug me because I grew up in that
area of the country. I also enjoy the stereotypical jew and
brooklyn accents.

"hey yous. yeah, yous guys ova dere. Come ere. How's your

hehe, icelandic and icelandic accent might be ok but you
should hear old icelanders speak english, who didn't grow up
learning it from tv like my generation did...most consonanst
are way too hard, the R's are way too hard similar to
spanish/scottish R's and they don't distinguish between V
and W.

just to clarify.

what I meant was people from england moving to norway,
learning the language, but speak with an accent.

basically the reverse of what this thread is supposed to be
about.
